FENCIKO in and FENCING OCT.
Fences cost farmers more than gov*-
fcrnment, schools and religion.
If you would teach the horses to get
over good fences, put poor fences in
their way.
Usually the man who allows weeds
to grow in Mre fence corners (thereby
partly conceals a poor fence; but the
hogs know bis folly.
Two-tlvirds of our fencing is re¬
quired to restrain ow-tentk. of Che

WINTER DAWTENG FOE PROFIT.

turns from-thei herd would be largely
augmented In .the -fiwt place the
-cows must due kept through the <win-

they be well kept the milk supply will

Always higher in‘•winter,.and tempera¬

riLe months ©£ July and August milk

t« that nature supplies food without
eoet, and the cow’s ^unprofitable term

> THE SOIL IS INEXHAUSTIBLE.
‘ One foot in depth *tf a fairly good
agricultural soil contains 40D9 pounds
of phosphoric acid; 8000 pounds of
potash; 16,000 pounds of nitrogen and
lime, .magnesia, soda, chlorine., sulphur
and silica to afford food for all the
crops -which these three elements can
feed per .acre. After farmers by care,
ful and skillful cultivation have ex¬
hausted ;ali this great store of plant
food in the uppermost foot of his soil,
which will require several centuries,
will the soil be exhausted? Not at all*
I As the land is gradually changed
into vegetable growth, and the surface
is removed as farm crops, it as gradu¬
ally deepens, and the 6ubsoil which
contains the very 6umc element be¬
comes fitted for plant soil. And thus
the imperishable nature of matter ap¬
plies to the soil, which can never be
pxhausted during all the ages which are
to come. All that mankind has to do
Is to use its arts under the instruction
of science to develop this latent fer¬
tility of the soli, and to go on feeding
the human race until the end, if an end
ever shall come when the earth will no
longer exist as a fit habitation for man¬
kind.— [American Agriculturist.
f A pig FERMENTED feeder of nearly PIG FEED. forty years’
experience, who 6ays he has “been
called the liogman” and made money
in this business, maintains, in the
Michigan Farmer, that whey, butter¬
milk, skimmilk and cooked food should
ferment before being fed. He adds
that fermentation in the stomach is a
necessary preliminary to digestion; I
therefore, why not assist nature and
thus save loss of valuable bogs by the
fatal practice of giving sweet feed?
He cites an agricultural college expc« i-
ment “of feeding a lot of pigs just
weaned on dry corn-meal and wet up
with water; the result was a lot of
hnmped-backed, scabby, lame pigs,
the grease fairly running out of their
hacks.” j
Now pigs can be killed by feeding
clear corn-meal unfermontcd or fer-
mented. Clcar corn-meal is not u
proper food in any form; is too con¬
centrated-; therefore not easily digest¬
ed; also contains too much carbon;
creates fever and inflammation. So
much f«r corn-meal alone, for young
pigs. A very skilful man could feed
f C rm«nted food without injuring Ids
pjprg, Most inon are unskilful; there¬
fore the practice is not a good one.
Bht more hog's are killed from fer¬
mentation than by feeding foods
sreet.
The trouble is to regulate the amount
w degree of fermentation. As swill-
•barrels are usually managed the fer-
and accumulation of putre¬
faction arc so great that the contents
ai ' e aild * S reat
ntany hogs are killed by sftch food,
Fermentation always reduces the
amount of nutrition, as tl« sugar and
8tai ' cl ‘ torne * illt0 ad<£ ’ and acld 1S
not food. This kind of fermentation
is different from the processes of di¬
gestion.
A pig vnaycmt more volume of fer¬
mented food =and requires more for a
full meal than if the food was sweet.
Mistakes are made here, and a gorged
stomach of such hearh food as butter¬
milk mrJght result in injury; but the
trouble is.an excess of food—not that
it is street, for buttermilk is rarely
ever sweet. I have fed thousands ef
hogs on. sweet food and never lost obo
for this cause. Thousands of hogs
'have been tilled from eating fer-
menteS. acetic foods. The practice is
jdaugttKius.— [New iSTork Tribune.
-FI to Fir IN EGGS.
? The greatest profit I have ever been
fable i<s make in eggs has been on those
'Said by any neighbor's fowls, writes-C-
l8. HilL There is a month of every
. year when Dm; price is down to eight
or ten cents a dozen. Six months later
they sell readily’ at eighteen to twenty
cents. My jplan is rto buy when they
are cheapest, and sell when they are
clearest. By paying cash I have all
I want brought to ray door with no
trouble or expeuse of gathering them
up. The process of preserving them
in good condition for a half year is
very simple.
Slake a peck of dean lime, pour in
six pails of water, and drop in three
quarts of 6alt. Stir until all is dis-
solved; then let it settle, and it is
ready for use. Pack the eggs in jars,
pour on the thinner lime water, cover
the .iar with a cloth, and over this
spread a coating'of the thicker por¬
tion of the lime. The eggs will keep
as Jong as you will wish them to. The
jars must not be tilled too full, as the
water must not be allowed to get be¬
low the tops of the eggs. Each peck
of lime will preserve more than a
hundred dozen of eggs.
A six-gallon jar will hold twenty
dozen of eggs if rightly packed. The
expense is very little, the jars will last
many years, and the returns are sure
and not far in the future. If the
fowls insist on laying when eggs are
cheap, that does not signify that one is
compelled to rush them into a glutted
market. The biggest part of the profit
lies in holding them. In the faHor
early winter you can do the marketing
at your leisure, and get twice as much
money for what you have to sell.—-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Batten the barn.
Cold rains don’t put fat on hogs.
Take up the sag in the wire fence.
Real rural recreation—going nut-
ting.
Have no machines “lying around
losse.”
Rich food makes rich manure, re¬
member.
Cutting straw fine aids in its decom¬
position.
Keep the flowers blooming and
booming.
Protect your floral favorites these
cool nights.
Timothy makes the best selling hay
for market,
Better not let the young calves have
acorns to eat.
Turn off the old ewes and weathers
as soon as fat.
Look out for scratches if the land
are plowing is wet.
Shingle the shed even if yon have
nothing but straw to do it with.

Experiments were made at Magde¬
burg recently, with a new quick-firing

The men employed in the factories
in which smokeless powder is manu¬

the men have suffered greatly from
this cause.

The accumulation of explosive gases

for the proposed s ructure.
In the opinion of the New York
Commercial Advertiser, Dr. A. T.
Jlauis has completely demolished the
assertion that edueation and crime go
together by showing from the official
statistics in 3Iassachusetts that there
are eight times as many criminals from
every thousand illiterate persons as
from every thousand not illiterate.
Giring Shape to Feet.
Every one, but especially children.
Should wear properly fitting shoes, no
matter how common their material.
They should be neither too large nor
too small, and should have low, flat
heels that must be promptly “righted”
as soon as they begin to wear to one
side. If the toes of the foot show a
tendency to overlap, they should ba
rubbed with the hands once or twice
each day; and if this care be given
when the curving commences, it will,
as a rule, prove sufficient to correct
any irregularities of this nature, If
a nail is wayward in its growth, trim
it only lightly at the ailing corner, but
fully at the opposite corner, If both
corners grow too deeply into the flesh,
cHp them carefully and lightly, and
then scrape the center of the nail from
the tip to near the root until it is thin
and flexible. This proecss seldom fails
to correct refractory nails, provided,
of course, they are not neglected teo
long.—fFarm and Fireside.
AFRICAN BARBAP ATT.

‘‘I the pleas of witnessing a
African exc jr<
Giavc at !he 8' nation once,” said E.
Glare has *M*uian House yesterday,
he lnr (test returned from Alaska,
for six , bfc.'i exploring the interior,
Cong cesMrs prior to that lie was in
pie 4 ©oemtry wich Stanley. “I had
k’ astttteof seeing this execution _ and
mowing i-idii that t I wasn’t strong enough
it. I was allowed to witness it
jtiy; <oa the condition that I and my coni-
farnion should be unarmed. But for that
4 should have shot the chief and have the
•executioner, Afterwards 1 did
forces enough to prevent it, and for two
years there weren’t any wanton killings.
The missionaries have the place now, and
the slaughter is going merrily on. Soft
words won’t stop it. But I am drifting
away from my story. Some old woman
of influence had died, and accordingly,
to celebrate the occasion, a slave had to
be sacrificed. He was lashed fast in a
kind of a seat, and a pliant stem about
fifteen feet long stuck into the ground
nea? him. The top of it was bent over
and tied fast to his head, so that his neck
was as taut as a fiddle-string. That was
ihc first time 1 had seen them use one of
their soft iron knives, and I expected
^o see the poor fellow’s neck haggled in¬ it
to rags, but I heard only a click when
struck the bones of the spinal column,
and the man's head shot away like a blood peb¬
ble in a sling. A fountain of
spurted from his neck, and the body
worked and twitched exactly as a chicken
does when its head is cut off. The head
when picked up was chattering its jaws
and rolling its eyes.
“It’s awful, the amount of killing that
goes on in Africa. A tribe will make up
a party and go out to make captives in
an adjoining village. They wait village until
after night and then fire upon the
until its defenders are killed. They take
the rest of the folk and make slaves of
them. Some are killed for the mere fun
of killing them, some are slaughtered to
be eaten, some for sacrifice, and others
die from cruel treatment. About five out
of every six captives taken die by vio¬
lence. As a consequence interior Africa
is being rapidly depopulated. One may
go for hundreds of miles and not see a
man, but maj r note the charred stumps
which mark where villages have once
been.—[Chicago Tribune.
