from Farm Work for the Year
October
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.

Farm Work for the Year
October
Stock Farm (contd.)
Sheep may be folded on turnips or rape, or receive them in the meadows; and lambs, too, may be put on turnips by the middle of the month, receiving some chaff of hay and a small allowance of cake. Horses are on full work, and must receive their full allowance of corn. The rams may be put with the ewes in October.
