Excerpt from book: MONTHLY EEMIKDEES. January.?As this is the dead of winter, not much can be done in garden operations, except in preparation for the ensuing season. The collection of manure and its preparation should be attended to. It should always be kept well stacked up, and not allowed to be carelessly left loose, and so to become frozen.
