Special Subjects:
It is well to begin in October, and maintain throughout the year, a strict record of all receipts and payments. Farm accounts, therefore, are a special subject for October. Hop picking is completed in October. Young teazels may be transplanted from the seed-beds 16 inches apart, on a wheat stubble once ploughed and harrowed. Gorse, cutting every alternate row in successive winters, may be cut and crushed for cattle food. Water meadows are being prepared for winter flooding by making fit all surface furrows.

Stubble ploughing is October work, and, if clean, those fields may be manured before ploughing which are to receive spring beans, early peas, carrots, and parsnips, and mangels.

October:
Arable Farm:
Wheat-sowing is one of the principal operations of the month. Clover and bean stubbles having been ploughed are ready for the seed, which should be "pickled" before sowing. It is well to use the fork to dig out patches of couch, either before ploughing or during the process. Five or six pecks of seed per acre suffice.
