stones, elevated as above described, put
in my stakes, put the yokes on the
stakes, then another rail on the yoke,
and l have a fence four feet high;
three and a half Of stone, and two rails
above, all fast, no stakes reaching to
the ground to be in the way Of the
scythe or pillow, or to rot off in few
years. The top Of the stakes will be so
close together, that the most unruly
horse cannot get out rail, and all are
firmly bound, SO as to be perfectly safe
against wind, and the most unruly
animals; and it does not cost three
cents rod more than it would to build
the wall in the ordinary way, and stake
and rider it. All the extra labor is the
preparing and boring the pieces; and
they can be prepared rainy days and
odd spells, of which every farmer has
enough. The stakes should not perfect
ly fit the holes, and they will not then
be apt to rot. In fact, l see no reason
why fence made in this way, on land
where frost will not destroy it, will not
stand life time without repair.-Cor.

ABILENE is beautifully situated on small
stream of clear running water. one mile north
of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
centre of Dickinson county, and on the great
thoroughfare from the Missouri River to the
Gold Regions. New Mexico, and California. IL
is the only town between Junction City and
Salina, and is located midway-being twenty
five miles from each. The country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that
can be found in the State-its character being
an intermixture of timber and prairie, pecu~
harry adapted to agricultural purposes. The
fertility Of the soil, the excellence Of the WATER
the healthfulness Of the location, and the abun-
dance of timber and building stone, are induce
merits of no ordinary character; while in
addition, the rich mineral resources of this
portion of the State, The Salt Springs, and
extensive Coal Fields west of US on the Smoky
Hill, insuring TIE early completion of Rail
Road from the Missouri River. makes it one Of
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, and it now contains q store, blacksmith
shop hotel, Post Office, and several families.

STONE WALL FOR FENCE.

Everybody has way Of their own,
and most all, doubtless, think theirs is
the best. l like to bring things to the
test Of practical experience.
Our land through all this section, ex-
cept on the flats or river bottoms, is
more or less stony, very little but what
will supply enough for fence to the en-
tire farm.
I will attempt to describe a style
which 1 have adopted, and after watch
ing the result for six years, am satisfied

fences Of stone, in almost any locality,
as they prove to be equally safe for all
kinds of stock and sheep.

manner, and vary its size for any kind

end, slanting them inwards at the rate
Of about two inches to the foot. The
holes viii, when bored, be about two
feet apart. l then build my wall thirty
inches thick on the bottom, drawing il
in on each side, and build in one OF
those pieces about ten inches from the

agricultural Column,
ISIT THE GLAyDERS9

A young farmer writes us about
fine young horse of his, which has some
symptoms of the CHAMBERS, and wants to
know what the real trouble is, and how
to deal with it. His horse runs at the
nose. has some soreness about the jaws,
is feverish, loses gradually in flesh and
is disinclined to work.
These, indeed, are among the symp-
toms Of the CHAMBERS, but horse may
have all without having the CHAMBERS.
The decisive marks Of this disease are
as follows: At first, there is an increas-
ed discharge Of watery matter from the
nostrils, which has little mucus mixed
with 1t. 1t generally flows first from
the left nostril. 1t is not thick and
sticky, as some say, but it becomes so
after passing the first stage. Now, it
becomes contagious, and the infected
animal should be removed to a separate
barn or pasture. If the disease is not
now checked, the discharge begins to
contain pus, and the glands Of the nos
trils and under jaw become enlarged.
The membrane of the nose becomes of a
dark purplish or leaden color, and small
ulcers break out upon it. At this stage,
the general health of the horse begins
to fail. He loses flesh, his hair be-
comes dry and sheds off, he has a poor
appetite, an occasional cough, the dis
charge from the nose becomes bloody
and offensive to the smell, and the
breathing labored. Tumors soon ap-
pear on the face and neck, and inside
of the thighs, the hind legs swell and
become hot and tender, and the whole
animal becomes overcharged with the
disease. succumbs and dies.
A simple hard cold, or catarrh, Oh
strangles may sometimes show itself in
the form of nasal discharge, fever and
loss Of appetite, and swollen throat, but
these will soon pass off under kind
treatment.
The CHAMBERS is one Of the worst ant
most fatal Of diseases. 1t is sometimes
inherited, and others communicated BY
contagion. 1t sometimes comes from
bad stable management, especially bac
ventilation. Want Of regular exercise
over-work, everything that tends t.
break down the vitality Of the horse
tend to induce the CHAMBERS.
The CHAMBERS are quite contagious
As soon as it is discovered upon tn
horse, he should at once be put by him
self. No other horse should eat from
his Manager, or drink from the sam
pail, or wear his bride. And wors
than all, the owner Of the horse some
times contracts the same malady b,
handling him.
The only useful remedies are thos
which will build up the general healt
eff the horse. Turn him out to pasture
Give him light work. Properly man
aged, a glandered horse will sometime
do moderate service for several years
but when the disease is once establishe
a real and permanent cure is not to +
expected.-.7merican .7gricatlturts
