Ronrd Fence.

In addition to tho many goo.
things already said about them
experience tells that there is dc,
cided advantage in throwing up a
ridge about foot high, and plac-
ing the posts in the center of 1t.
Also to place two posts in the same
hole, every fifty feet, thus discon-
Meeting the boards to receive the
lincal shrinkage from straining
and breaking the nails. In this
manner instead of the nails being
broken, the posts will simply be
drawn apart. The ridge thrown
up saves one board; keeps the
ground dry; drains the adjacent
land; admits of a lower fence.
Furthermore 1t adds greatly to the
durability of both the posts and
the boards.

ABOUT THRoATs.-An excellent
article on this subject in the Bos-
ton Congregationalist, which every
minister especially ought to read,
closes with the following common
sense suggestion:
We speak freely on the subject
because we speak what we think we
know-when We beg them to throw
their physic and their wrappers to
the dogs; let their boards grow as
God intended should be the case
with men; and tougher their throats
with cold water and the sweet
breath of heaven, even when II
blows from off a snow bank; instead
of enervating them with the steam
and sweat of their nasty bandages.
1t is our deliberate conviction
that the worst use to which one
can put a human throat, next to
that Of the hangman, is to tie 1t up
for fear Of the bronchitis.

A L-e-e-tle too Smart.

Old Rumfeldt was q well-to.do
farmer Of Stewart county, Tennes-
see. He was regularly in atten-
dance at court at Dover, but sell
dom turned his face homeward un-
til he had swallowed more whisky
than his skin could we'll hold or
his legs conveniently carry. On
one occasion he got on his level
early, and about the middle of q
hot July evening started for home.
He had not gone far, however,
when he was seized with an uncon-
trollable desire to take nap. He
dismounted from his horse, turned
him loose to Craze, and rolled him.
self into a fence corner. lie was
sleeping very sweetly, when he was
espied by q abuzzard, which was sail
ing about the vicinity, hunting for
something to eat. Smaller and
smaller grew the circles of his vic
tim, cautiously taking observation.
At last, but still in some doubt, the
bird lit on the ground near its OK
pected feast. About this time
Rumfeldt became aware that some
thing was going on, and he partial.
ly opened one eye, and saw the |
buzzard, but still too drunk to take
any active measures to drive IL !
away. He, however, kept a close
watch. The buzzard struttcd
around him, all the time inspecting
Rumfeldt closely and cautiously to
ascertain positively that he was
dead; he finally became satisfied
that the corpus before him was In
deed a carcass, and consequently
"his meat" whereupon he advanc.
ed deliberately TO Rumfeldt's head,
and gave him severe peck in the
face. This aroused Rumfeldt, and |
striking out lazily with his hand to
prevent a repetition of the attack,
he exclaimed, "LooEee here

Deep Corn Culture.

Mr.. j. c. Burroughs recently
read an essay before the Madison
county [ (nlinois) Farmers Associ-
alton on corn culture. He strongly
urged deep plowing. The roots Of
the corn plant descend to the depth
offive feet under favorable circum-
stances in quest of the food and
moisture. Shallow land with a
compact hard-pan, is not very fa-
vorable for corn unless the hard
pan, is torn up by subsoiling. 1t
often happens that abundant corn
food is found at a great depth
Farmers would do well to expert
ment in deep plowing and subsoil-
ing. 81
John L. Gill, of Columbus, Ohio,
upon piece Of bottom land that
had been annually cultivated in
corn for forty years, anxious to test
the effect of deep culture for corn,
plowed liz acres to the depth of
eight inches, then following with a
subsoil plow, loosening, but not
turning up, the soil to the depth Of
eight inches more. This tract and
an adjoining piece had never been
plowed to a depth exceeding six
inches. The neighboring piece
was plowed the usual depth, and
planted on the 7th of May. Mr..
Gill planted on the 10th. On the
shallow plowcd land the corn came
UP and looked, for a few weeks, as
well as that on the deep plowed
land. But when the heat of July
came, the corn on the shallow
plowed land came to stand still /;
the leaves curled and dropped, and
gave unmistakable evidence of suf-
fering from drought, while that on
the deep plowed land was growing
vigorous, and indicated no lack of
moisture. The result was that Mr..
Gill obtained 120 bushels per acre,
while the adjoining field yielded
less than 40 bushels per acre, This
fact is well authenticated, and is
but one instance of the good effect
of deep plowing. Mr.. Gill's sue
cess is referable to thorough and
deep preparation of his soil before
planting.

Mr.. QUrNBY, of Irondequoit, said
at the Rochester Farmers Club re-
Gently that during the past three
years he has drawn 10000 bushels
Of lcached ashes on his farm and
spread them at the rate of 200 OF
300 bushels per acre, and has
threshed forty acres. He thinks
the application has doubled his
wheat crop. His land is light; had
seen ashes applied to heavy clay
land with little benefit.
