V" u v wvcy s' C o\wmw. 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.” A Safe and Sure means of restoring the youthful color of the hair is fur nished by Parker’s Hair Balsam, which is deservedly popular from its superior ulgaiil n. ss.

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 plosion of a bomb, weighing thirty pounds, sent in a box so arranged that the opening of tbe lid made it ex plode. Five similar boxes, addressed to other inhabitants, were fortunately 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. Smith absconded from Denver wit, h SB-000 belonging to a friend. Two Chicago detectives (breed him to dis gorge $750 as the condition of being allowed to remain at liberty. Then a Denver detective followed him to In diana and blackmailed him out of SSOO When a third man made a similar de mand Smith voluntarily returned home and gate himself up for trial, doubtles.. convinced that he could not retain any of the booty in peace. The Rev. J. G. Wood, the eminent English naturalist, in an article on “The Ilorse and its owner,” says, in reference to bearing reins Teoplc see the horse champing its bit. flinging foam flakes right and left, tossing its head, rattling its harness, and assume that the horse is acting in the pride o< ds strength and fullness of spirit, whereas it is suffering agonies of pain, and is trying to gain by tl cse move ments a momentary relief. 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 cated his affection, ami had chosen 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. A secret society has been formed in St. Petersburg for the purpose o! combat'ng the Nihilists with their own weapons. The society is said to he composed of three hundred persons, divided into groups of five each, and iireelcd by a centra! committee, at the head of which is a man of princely rank, closely connected with the throne. The other members beh in •hiefly to the nobility and the offit i 1 class. They arc animated with intense hatred of Nihilism, and are determined to use even assassination to crush it-. When the Southern Pacific Railroad is completed, with its connections, to New Orleans—an event that is ex pected to occur by next summer— immigrants will be conveyed by this route from Liverpool to San Francisco for S4O to SSO. This is looked forward to as being the solution of the problem presented by California's dffjar.ee from the centres of civilization, and b\ the consequent high rates of freight and passenger transportation that have heretofore been checking hei business progress and her rapid settle ment. 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 tion of the larvae. In the region about 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. .ProjWioiml’ (Tunis. JQK. R. I?. ADAIR, Dentist, June 10-'SI. Gainesville, Ga. I OIIX J.
