FOB THE FARM AND HOME,
Point! on Fences.
In building fences take the cost and
tbo time they will last into consideration.
A cheap fence mny bo too cheap. All
fences are costiy and the fewer you have
the better.
A stono fenco only wants biudlng
crosswise; it docs not fall down length
wise, A crooked roll should never be
putin the fenco near the bottom. A
crooked rail, like a crooked man, mnkes
more troublo than it is worth —better
make wood of it.
Board fences are usually made with
two good boards; they hold too much
water and rot too quickly. Joints arc
often too wide; the wind has too great
an effect. The best wooden fence ennnot
stop a mad bull. What is the use of try
ing to do itf
Iron posts and wlro aro to bo the fenco
of the future. The quicker the former is
prepnrod for it the better.
A stono fenco is n costly fenco you
hnvo to buy tho stones, but if you nave
to taka them as an encumbrance from
thp gi ound und pile them up, it pays at
both ends.- AT. Y. Herald.
Uettliiolllil of,Moles.
A correspondent of tho Country Ocn-
tlemnn sends that paper tho following
abstract of directions for getting rid of
moles, given in an agricultural paper of
Germany: “A short tirao ago I was
troubled by tho inroads of a mole, who
had chosen some freshly planted vege
table beds as the scene of his burrowing,
thus elevating tho level of the plants he
passed under above tho others. As the
mole hud managed to get in, I of course
would liavo to got him out of my
garden, a thing which 1 accomplished
by means of a- ejec.or' commonly used
to expel refrr *ory forrets from rubbit
burrows. Tins ‘ejector’ is prepared in
tho following mannor: Procure some
snltpotro and cayenne peppor, mix them
together in tho proportion of throe
ounces of tho nitro to an eggspoonful of
tho pepper, pound them very finely in
a mortar; then make a solution of tho
mixture ns strong as possible. Cut some
long narrow strips of thick brown paper,
and dip them twico in tho solution. Let
tho strips dry. Whon wanted for uso
roll up a strip and put it in tho burrow,
first haviiig lighted tho end of it. Closo
up tho entrance as securely as possible, so
that Mr. Mole's tortuous corridors aro
thoroughly fumigated, thus expelling
tho owner for all time,"

The flavor of meat depends consider
ably upon tho character of the food
upon which the nniinul has boon fed.
For example, there is a perceptible dif
ference between corn fed beef and beef
made from tho exclusive diet of cotton-
•oed. In a still greater degree doos
honey appear to bo influenced by tho
food of bees. Dr. Brown, in tho Ameri
can lie* Journal, states that there are
localities where the honey not only takes
Its flavor and odor from the flowers from
which it has been gathered, but it also
docs to soma extont, imbibe tho medi
cinal aud toxical properties of tho plant.
The observations upon which this opinion
is based wero taken at the South. The
leaves of the Helcnium tcnuifoliuin havo
a bitter, nauseating taste. During tho
war an extract in tho shape of tea was
used to some extent as a substitute for
quinine. Honey from this plant is bit
ter and possesses medicinal properties.
Honey from tho yellow jasmino possesses
all tho toxical properties of tho tissues of
tho plant. Dr. Brown knows of six cases
of poisoning by eating yellow jasmine
honey within tho past four years. It is
well to remember that we have less than
a half dozen plants that secrete nectar of
a deleterious quality; and nature has
most wisely set limits to this function by
cither causing thorn to bloom at an un-
propitious season, nr by making their
bloom uninviting to the hoes, or by cur
tailing tho honey to the smallest possible
amount.—AgirmUural Ulnte.
Muslin Powllrr -Home for Stormy
Weather.
Every poullrymnn knows tho aversion
«hown by the fowls to tho poultry-house
in tho daytime. They prefer being out-
•ida in tho storm to being confiuod in a
closed, dark place; but they nro very
partial to a shed, or any kind of well-
lighted shelter. A cheap arrangement
can be made for them, which may be
movable, by using shingling lath (one
by threo inches) and unbleached mus
lin. To make n muslin houso ten by
ten feet, proceed ns follows:
A strip for tho top, four for tbo bot
tom, and three for stripping ono foot
from tho ground, making oight strips,
ten feet long each, or eighty feet. One
strip for tho top of the entranco in
front, eight feet long and twelve strips
six feet long, for tho ends and roof, the
total being ubout 100 feet of material,
costing $1. A few boards on tho front,
with tho samo at tho rear, completes all
but the muslin, of whioh about 13 yards
will be sufficient. Run tho muslm from
tho bottom of tho strip over the top, and
fasten to bottom strip on the other
side. Have nothing but tho boards on
tho ends, so as to strengthen tho frame,
and also that the fowls mny pass out at
either end. Bow tho muslin togothcr
with a sewing machine, and uso it cithor
crosswise or up and down. Draw it
tightly over tho frame, and paint it with
any kind of cheap paint, or oil may be
used instead. The structure need not
cost over $3.80, and it will affir.l oxcol-
lent protection against tho winds and
rains, as thoro will be plenty of scratch-
room for an average flock. Tho muslin
admits sufficient light, and is much bet
ter than glass for retaining warmth.—

Winter Cars or piss.
Crowd the fattening pigs. As long
as they will cat another ounco of corn
and it Is not given to them, timo is lost,
and timo Is money. Tho more quickly
an animal is made fat tho clicapor the
meat is, for tho loss food is consumed.
A good flro soon heats tho kettle; but
ono may use tho whole supply of fuel in
keeping up a little Are without warming
the water. It is much tho samo in food-
tng pigs. The right heat for the water
for scalding hogs Is 180 degrees. If
the heat is greater tho hair docs not
como off so freely. Where a largo num
ber of hogs aro to bo dressed, some regu
lar system should bo provided for hand
ling them, so that two men can do nil
tho work. It is quite nccossary to keep
fatteningswlno as clean ns others; It is
even moro necessary; filth will flavor the
pork; it can evon bo smelled in it. The
filthy pens tend to make tho meat un
popular, and cleanliness pays in many
ways.
Keep young pigs warm. Thcro is no
better bod for growing pigs than a clean
earth floor, in u partly underground pon,
if necessary provision is mndo for them;
pigs are very clean animuls, and their
sleeping place is alwuys kopt clean when
they can do it. Hence they should havo
a chance.
Food that is somewhat acid, but not
very sour, is better for store pigs than
quite sweet food. Tho best and cheap
est pork wo ever raado was fod with po
tatoes and corn cars boilod together un
til tho former wero soft, when the whole
was mushed and cooled and reduced to
a thick mush. Givo tlio brood sows
thnt aro in-pig, a fow cabbago or man
gels. Sows thus fed never molost or
destroy tho young pigs when they are
born. A bright, light pen with a dry,
earthen floor, in which they can root and
roll in the warm sunshino from some
large south window is tho very best
lodging for growing pigs and sows. An
outer yard and feeding placo besides
this are necessary. —llural Nett Yorker.
Household Hints.
To prevent flat-irons from scorching,
wipe thorn on a cloth wet with kero
sene.
To brighten or clean silver or nicklo
plntod ware, rub with 'n svoolod cloth
and flour.
When there is a crack in tho stove it
can bo monded by mixing ashes and salt
with water.
White paint that has bocome discol
ored may be nicoly eloaned by using a
little in tho water for washing.
A good cement for china is ordinary
carriago varnish; if put together neatly
tho fr icture will bo hardly perceptible,
and it is not nffectod by water.
To clean bronze chnmle',icr3, lamps
etc.— These articles should only bo dust
ed with a feather brush or soft cloth,
as washing will tako off the bronzing.

(from (As ITesMy JtMorrf. Dundee, K V.)
There ore many people in this country who
are suffering untold agony from tbs ravages
of diseases, who havo boon medicated until
the very soumlof tho word “medicine” sends
a thrill of horror through their sensitive
organism, end yet they are still looking-
looking for something that will prove a bene
fit to their shattered constitution and restore
to them their health. To this class of sufferers
the Record, without solicitation, desires to
say a few words, not with the Intent to ad
vertise a man who to-day is doing more for
this elass of sufferers than neu can describe,
but because we know, notonly from personal
experieuce, but from the experience of
others, that what we are about to
say in regard to Dr. Kilmer, of Bingham
ton, N. Y., and bis Herbal Remedial are
facts, and it is a pleasure to lot the sufferer
know that thore Is n Medicino that has done,
and It still doing so much lasting benefit to
the afflicted. Dr. Kilmer has been repre
sented in the advertising columns of ths
Record for over two years, and during that
period we have received many communica
tions asking if his ltcmodios were as repre
sented, and have always felt thnt wo could
safely recommend them. Dr. Kilmer Isons
of the best-read Physicians of the preseut
day. He probably has the largest practice
and examine! and treats personally more pa
tients at his large and fully equipped office
in Binghamton yearly, than any other phy
sician in the country.
These Herbal Kerned ies which he sends out
are prepared and prescribed by him in his
own private practice. Their component parts
are carefully selected from Nature’s grout
latxratory, and are compounded in a scien
tific manner so as to be especially adapted to
the different forms of diseases for which they
are used. They are the result of years of
hard, patient study of the science of medi
cine.
There seems to be at the present time a ten
dency toward a great many Kidney, Liver
and Bladder trouble- with the people of this
country, and we wish to speak more particu
larly about Dr. Kilmer’s Bwamn-Koot Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Cure. We will say
on the outset, we are not writing sensational
“gush” for Dr. Kilmer, but knowing person
ally as we do, of many important cures
wrought from the use of this medicine, we
believe it to be our duty to the afflicted to en
courage them to avail themselves of the use
of this valuable Remedy.
We know a Mr. Chas. E. Roe, of Unlon-
vUle, Steuben Co., N. Y. who had Bright's
disease, and was told by the best Physicians
of Uornellaville, N. Y„ that there was no
hope for him, who was prevailed ugioii by
a friend to try Dr. Kilmer's Hwamp-Koot
Kidney Cure. He did so, without the bait
idea of being benefited, but the result was
most gratifying to himself and family, lor
he was cured. Haved from death b r tl at
dreadful disease Another case, that of
itussell Handford, nf Wayne, Htouben Co.,
who had a terrible bowel difficulty which
would not yield to the medical skill of good
doctors, who, at our own solicitation, tried
Swamp-ltoet, and he told us after using sev
eral bottles bis trouble was removed, al
though he had no control over his bowels for
a year previous to using ths medicine and
had been told that he would never t,o any
better, and that his earthly < are or was
limited. Our druggists here lu Dunilco
tell us they have sold hundreds of bottles
of this medicine and in no instate o
have they ever heard aught but praise
from the persons using it. We might men
tion scores of similar cases that, to our own
personal knowledge, have been iulpedcut < f
serious trouble by using Hwamn Root. Wo
hope it will help some one, and we have no
fears of the result of a trial, by any one who
is suffering with a Kidney, Liver or Blad
der trouble "It is worth its weight In gold.”
