Wire Fences.

In a late number Of the Rurdl NeaC
Yorker, @. D. Bragdon argues that
wire fences is the cheapest and best
that can be built in many sections.
He stated that he had just examined
fence which he helped to make elev-
en- years ago, and found it in good
condition, though no expense had been
laid out on it since it was built, and it
has been thoroughly tested by stock
of all kinds. He admits that there
are other fences built at the same time
but in a ''shiftless,'' halfway style,
which were worthless long ago. He
gives the following very plain direc-
tons for making such fence as he rec
commends:
Set the posts eight feet apart, three
feet in the ground, anchored with a
pin through the bottom thereof, the
hole filed up with small stones, and
then packed with soil bore said posts
with three -eights or three-quarters
bit, at distances to suit, to receive the
wires insert the wire, fastening it
firmly to firmly set end>posts; tighten
it with small horizontal capstan or
windlass--not so as to 0ver-strain it,
but enough to straighten it perfectly
tight; then drive beside each wire on
each side of each post, pine or cedar
plug, which has been previously pre-
pared and soaked in oil; do this before
the windlass is removed, or any effort
is made to fasten the end at which the
Strengthening power is applied
Drive these plugs in the holes above,
or over the wire. They should be of a
size to drive snugly, and of such length
that they may protrude from the hole
and protect the wire at the point
where it enters the post. The driving
these plugs besides the wire in each
post, divides the strain, prevents it
from working in the holes the entire
length, if an animal runs against it,
and thus by rendering it more efficient
renders it at the same time more dur.
able. About No. 9 wire is the best
size. No. IL is used, and for top
wire over a half wall will answer ;
but No. 9 or 10 is better. After the
wire is in the posts as above, take a
paint brush and walk along the wires
back and forth and paint them. 1t is
done as fast as a man can walk, and
adds to the age of the fence materi-
ally. Gas tar is excellent for such a
purpose, and is cheaper than anything
else. am satisfied that such fence
is more durable, equally efficient,
cheaper in its first cost, and better
every way in windy snowy counties,
than the ordinary post board fence.

SIMPLE RECEIPT FOR MAKING VIN-
EGAR.-T. B. Miller of Clayton, Ind,
has communicated to the New York
Farmers Club the following simple
recipes for making vinegar;
'tFill nearly full any vessel, Jug,
crock, pan, tub or barrel, with pure
rain or soft water, sweeten it with any
kind of molasses, (the quantity is not
material, set it in a moderately warm
place, in the sun, cover with sieve,
cause or net, to keep out flies and
gnats. In due process of time it will
be vinegar, when it must be put into
suitable vessel and stopped close.
To convert cider into vinegar-if
made from sweet apples, it is only
necessary to set the barrel in a warm
place and knock out the bung; if from
sour, stir in a little molasses, and
when sour enough bung up tight.
Vinegar barrels should be well pai-
nted, as they are liable to be eaten by
worms.
at will be proper to state that it is
the action of the atmosphere, which
in time converts the sweetened water
into vinegar, hence the greater the
surface exposed to its influence the
sooner it will sour. There is a thick
scuro rises on the top Of the vinegar
when making, which is the mother
and shOnld not be thrown away

One great cause of the increasing

While new theories are continually
advanced, upon the thousand and one
subjects connected with agriculture,
these thOries are freely and fully dis

enCe.
In the first place, for all cultivated
grasses, the land must be we'll pre-
pared for the reception of the seed,
and with view to its growth and du-
rability. have sowed on the ground
without cultivation, but never sue
ceeded in getting durable pasture ex-
cept, perhaps on some light hazel land
where the brush was killed out by
fire or some other process. This sub
iect properly embraces the different
grasses, proper for, and proftabls for
cultivation, the best time for sowing
the seed, and management of the
same, and the comparative value of
the different kinds for all practical
purposes. 1 have made experiments
IN sowing at all seasons of the year
spring, summer, fall, and winter
with the following results:
If sOwed in the spring, in connec-
ton with small grain as is usual, the
result is very uncertain. If the sea-
son be favorable, it will vegetate, and
if not too dry, nor choked by the too
luxuriant stand of the grain, or by
weeds, 1t may do tolerably well. But
if the season proves dry, aud especial
ly if dry and hot when the grain is
harvested it is very apt to die out and
prove a failure. it has proved so in
this locality for the last three or four
years.
In summer, after harvest, if the
ground is plowed and narrowed down,
seed sown, and the season is such
as to start it, and continues favorable
it gets sufficient growth and root to
stand, and succeeds well. IF sowed
late in the fall, it does not get sufi-
cient root, and is liable to be thrown
out by the frost in winter, and entire
ly killed. If we could rely on snow
to cover it. it would, like fall wheat,
do well.
have had altogether the best sue
cess in sowing all kinds of grass seed
in winter. In fact / have never failed
of success iu this way, where the land
was properly prepared in the fall
Sow any time between December and
the middle of March. The little snow
and rain, that occasionally falls, and
the freezing and thawing of the sur
of the ground, sufficiently cover the
seed, and it vegetables and grows,
whenever the weather is warm enough;
grows right along and gets the start
of the weeds and keeps ahead. l

sowing in the fall, but by taking ma.

TR0 KInds 0f Fenees.

A good fence is very chesply made
by using about two boards securely
nailed to cedar posts, with stones or
even an enlbarkment Of earth under
meath. 1t forms a good road fence,
or as a division fence between lots,
where sheep or hores run. For cattle,
particularly those inclined to be un-
ruly, it does not answer so good a
purpose.
Another excellent fence is con-
structed in the following manner set
iron rods three feet high-about 5ths
iron-in . stone foot or bottom. and
bore inch holes in the ends of che ce-
dar, ash or poplar rails, dropping
them over the rod. Have the fence
about FIVE rails high, and when COM
pleted secure them by a small key
through the rod. If placed in the
zig-zag or "worm " manner, the fence
would be more substantial, though We
have seen it built on a straight line,
and standing firm and erect. It forms
the pTettiest fence we have ever seen.

G. FRED. MApDox's LETTER.-If any one
doubts there is life in the old land yet" let
him read this letter. in another part of our
paper.
The humiliation to which Maryland has been
reduced by the minions of arbitrary power
the worst and meanest of whom are to be
found among her own undutiful sons-fnds
some relief in the proud spiritwhich, here and
there, breaks loose from the restraints sought
10 be imposed upon it, and, from tongue and
pen, boldlyand fearlessly challenges the wrongs
inflicted upon helpless and oppressed people
Such spirit breathes from every sentence of
this admirable letter, and marks its author as
well worthy of association with those who
figured prominently in the better days of our
good old Commonwealth whilst its manly
tone rebukes in every line the craven spirit of
those who have ever before their distempered
imaginations bristling bayonets, brick walls,
and frowning fortresses.
The sentiments set forth in this letter must
meet with an unqualified response from every
Aarylander, who has just appreciation of
the honor and interests of his dear old State,
and we look forward with pleasure to the
time, not far distant, when they will be open
ly endorsed, almost with reclamation, by the
voting population OF Maryland.
