Fences in the South.
A Louisiana friend writes us: “ I
have no direct or indirect interest in
any fence, except that [ want to use
the cheapest and best. S-x years ago
1 put up 10 rods of barbed wire fence,
and each year have added to it, and
like it so well that this year I am sell
ing oil’good and burning up decayed
rails and board fences, became I think
it better and chpaper to build wire
fence than to repair the old, although
I am making and selling new wooden
rails on the place. As to posts, I find
that a few good posts answer, with
young trees set in the row, so that
when the posts are gone it leaves your
fence an ornament instead of an eye
sore. Then it is so cheap. Two wires
will turn the worst large stock ; three
for calves ami sheep, and five for hogs.
A man and a boy can put up half a
mile in a day, after the posts are set;
it saves labor. ‘Tramps' do not steal
it for kindling or seat boards, nor
travel acio-s your land. As to its
being ‘barbarous,’ I have never known
an animal really hurt with it, and if
they are scratched they will not try it
again. The only place 1 have found
it would not do was around small lots
where numbers of cattle are kept;
they will hook each either through it.’’
Cotton.
The New Fertilizer.
It lias long been noticed that soil
closely covered lias a tendency to re
gain its fertility, which is accounted
for in the escape of ammonia into the
atmosphere by volatilization. To keep
tilie surface of the earth moist, and pre
vent the same from baking and parch
ing, mulching of some kind is neces
sary to protect it; and if a supple
mental crop is raised—the one '‘lap
ping” over the other—so that the na
ked earth is a rare sight, an important
step bearing upon fertility will have
been gained.
Dr. Harlan once said “that to re
tain the richness of the soil it must be
kept covered, though it is a hard mat
ter to understand why.”
In the cow pea the farmer has a
plant that as a forage plant or manu
rial agent to recuperate worn out
kinds, or to be used as a fertilizer for
any crop, has no superior. It is to be
ascribed to two va'ues, one as a chein
ical aid or addition to the soil, and a
mechanical or protecting mulch, its
rapid growth making it exceedingly
valuable to choke out any weeds ; and
i-n three months the ground is ecv-red
with a mass of foliage, to the extent
of several tons per acre, and if cat and
cured makes a very valuable ha}'.
Used as a summer fallow, it makes a
complete green manure for the ground,
and equal if not superior to any crop,
now known to be turned under.
A close analysis of this pea as com
pared with clover makes a very favor
able showing, and a crop turned under
is computed by a careful Mississippi
planter at double in value that of
clover sod.— Cotton.
Renewing Grass Land.
When grass land gets run out, a*
the phrase goes, the host way to re
new it. unless it is very rocky or rough
kind, is to break it up. and, if it is nol
available or desirable for cultivation,
to manure heavily and reseed. This
month, after the hay is cut, is the best
time for breaking up sod. It can then
be manured, thoroughly harrowed and
re-seeded with grass, or sown with
rye. the last of the month. In sowing
grass seed only those kinds should be
sown together that mature together.
Llerdsgrass and red top go well to
get her, but orchard grass, June grass
and the other early varieties should
be sown by themselves. Twelve quarts
of herdsgrass and three pecks of red
top make a very good seeding for an
acre. If herdsgrass is sown alone on
very heavy land it should be sown
more thickly, so that it will not grow
too rank and coarse. Orchard grass
should be sown very thickly or it will
grow in clumps. From a bushel and
a half to two bushels of seed to the
acre gives a good result.— Massacha
setts Plovyhman.
Is Electrical Farming a Possibility
of the Future?
In the wildest speculations about
the future applications of electricity
as a motor, no one has ventured to
predict that the subtle agent would
ever be made to perform the slow
drudgery for farming—the plowing,
planting, reaping and hauling, that,
make up so large a share of the bus
Landman's life. Yet it is quite pos
sible that agriculture ma}' become one
wf the very first beneficiaries of eleetri
cal application. An electrical plow
has been actually invented, and was
ne of the curiosities in the recent ex
bibition in Paris. It consists of two
electrical machines which are placed
on opposite sides of the fields, drawing
a set of shares back and ferth until
the whole area is plowed. It can
easily perform the work of eighteen
horses. “If this method of plowing
should ever come into general use.’*
the St Lou s Repubiiam thinks “our
farmers will need to be educated up to
the standard of Harvard professors.
Every granger will have to be an elec
trician to know how to 4 run’ his ma
chine without receiving its charges in
his own body.” —Savannah Neivs.
A wise Deacon.
“ Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell
me how you kept yourself and family
well the past season, when all the rest
of us have been sick so much, and
have had the doctors visiting us so
often.”
“ Bro. Taylor, the answer is ver}’
easy. I used llop Bitters in time;
kept my family well and saved the
doctor bills. Three dollars’ worth of
it kept ns well and able to work all the
bime. I'll warrant it has cost you and
the neighbors one to two hundred dol
lars apiece to keep sick the same time.”
” Deacon, 1 11 use your medicine
hereafter.”

Rotary Harrow.
r PIIIS Harrow is simple in its construc
-L tion. combining strength and light
ness. and cannot easily get on of order.
It revolves continually while in operation,
so that turf, stones, corn huts, or any oth
er obstruction of the kind cannot clog it.
The reason of it is the rapid motion of the
teeth ; therefore, as a Pulverizer, Soil Mix
er, Destroying Bermuda Crass, and for
Covering Grain, it lias no equal. We ear
nestly invite all farmers, mechanics and
businessmen to examine this Harrow, feel
ing assured that it cannot fail to meet their
highest approval. The following named

them have authorized the proprietor to re

American beef is regarded in Eng
land as of a superior quality, but they
think the mutton we send there is not
to ho compared in flavor or tenderness
with that of home production. The
reason for this is that our sheep are
generally treated in a way to favor
the growth of their fleeces, without
much consideration of the quality of
the mutton.
Tne little German city of Klingen
berg, in lower Franconia, not only
imposes no municipal tax, but every
voter receives an annual dividend from
the city treasury of a sum ranging
from $22.b0 to $25. The city recently
celebrated the Sedan anniversary by
giving every citizen fifty cents, with
fifty cents extra to every soldier of the
war with France.
A sentimental fellow at Wrights
town, Minn., wrote to a girl that lie
would hang hiin-elf if she did not
marry him As he was a stranger,
she took his queer missive as an insult
ing joke, ami re; lied angrily that lie
would please her greatly by choos-ng
the tree which grew near the window ol
her room. When she looked out next
morning there hung his lifeless body.
A Philadelphia police Sergeant said,
a year ago. that lie believed his wife
would murder him eventually, and
now bo lias died of poison. If lie had
not. made that remark, nobody would
have suspected tiic cause of his death,
as the doctor said it was cholera mor
bus ; but those who recollected it in
formed the Coroner, an autopsy was
made, and a case against tLie wife
seems likely’ to be made out.
At Lille a whole family have been
injured, several seriously, by the ex

detected. Suspicion rests on a bank
nipt, tradesman who hail to leave the
town some time ago, and who threat
ened his creditors with vengeance.

The Rev. J. G. Wood, the eminent

Young Spurgeon was expected to
die within twenty-four hours at Crt st
line, Ohio, and under tlie circum
stances Miss Gray consented to mar
ry him, though she had never recipro

another man to become her husband.
Her amiability got her into a dilemma,
for Spurgeon has recovered, and wishes
to hold her to the compact. To that
she will not agree, and she begs him
to get a divoice, so that she may mar
rv his favored rival. In this unsatis
factory condition the matter rests.

When the Southern Pacific Railroad
is completed, with its connections, to

immigrants will be conveyed by this
route from Liverpool to San Francisco

to as being the solution of the problem
presented by California's dffjar.ee

FIRE PROOF MESSENGER BOXES
A Chicago police arrested a wife
murderer, but could not find the re
mains of the woman, and the case
seemed likely to fail through. Know
ing that the prisoner would be speedily
discharge 1 unless some proof was
forthcoming, the. Captain entered the
cell with a paper in his hand, and
said : “Your wife isn't dead, after aU.
She was found alive where you left
her. and tikcn to hospital. This is
her sworn .statement of what vou did
to I cr. She wants to see you.” The
murderer was completely deceived.
On the way to the hospital, as he sup
, osed, he was induced to tell where
he had shot his wife, and there the
bodj’ was found.
Vast an 1 destructive grasshopper
swarms have been ravaging parts of
Turkey and of the Russian Caucasus.
In the latter region 100.000 roubles
were appropriated for., distribution in
the shape of rewards for the destrne

Smyrna the entire population had to
turn out for the destruction of the
pests. In the district about Angora
all shops were closed by proclamation
of the Governor for three days, and
the population was set to work in the
fields. Besides this, prayers were of
fered in all the mosques, and every
inhabitant was required to turn in to
the Government a certain quantity of
the larvae, to iso burned in pits dug for
the purpose. These grasshoppers, or
locusts, are said to come from I’crsia.
