TALK.-Sir William Hamilton used
to say that q man never knows any
thing until he has taught it in some
way it may be orally, or it may be
by writing book. There is deep
wisdom in the remark, which all
readers would do well to ponder. 1t
is equally true that many authors
have talked better than they have
written. How pithy and vivid-now
much superior TO his writings-the
talk of Jefferson ltspoiled mon for
everything that was not both
weighty and smart. 1t has been Just
ly characterized as both gay and po-
tent-its playfulness resembling the
ricochotting Of sixty-cight Founders,
which bound like India rubber balls
and yet batter down fortrcsscs. Bril-
liantly as Byron wrote, who would
not have infinitely preferred to hear
him talk +? His moro serious CONVEX
sation, even Shelley said, was "sort
Of intoxication." Then let us talk
Philosophers tell us that knowledge
until we use it-that il is not ours
till we have brought it under the
dominion Of tho great social faculty,
speech. Solitary reading with infor-
nation, but, without conversation,
his mind will become like pond
without an outlet, mass Of unheal-
thy stagnaturo. 1t is not enough to
harvest knowledge by study; the
wind of talk must winnow it and
blow away the chaff then will the
clear, bright grains Of wisdom be gar
nered, for our own use or that Of 9TH
crs.-Prof. MdtheleS.

THE HERALD.
To MAKE WIRE FENCE.

The best wire fence we ever saw
.rd Ve made it ourselves-was made
~ This way: Good young larch or
rcd cedar posts were set eight feet
anart. as'for board fences. They we're
set three feet deep, Holes were
bored. with half inch bit, through
the posts, six, eight and twelve inch
es apart, the lower wire being. one
foot from the ground, the two wires
above six inches apart, another eight
inches above, and one twelve inches
above that. OF course these distanc-
es may be varied according to cir
cumstances. The end posts were
large and firmly set.
One end Of each wire was put
through tho hole in the post at one
end, wound around the post once
and twisted to fasten. Then the
wire was passed through each post
to the other end post, where it was
wound twice or thrice around hor
izontal capstan, consisting Of a
round block of hard wood three inGh-
es in diameter, through each end OF
which was inserted q short lever
with which TO turn it. This capstan
was laid against the side Of the end
post under the wire which is wound
two or three times about it, to got
purchase.
One man takes hold Of The wire an.
other Of the lever Of the capstan and
the entire line is thus frightened unit
perfectly taut. Pine or cedar half
inch plugs, previously whitfield anC
soaked in oil, were then driven il
the holes beside and above eacl
wire on each side Of each posi-, thu.
dividing the strain among the posts
and protecting the wires from water
where they enter the same. After
these plugs were driven, the wire
was taken from the capstan anC
wound about and fastened to the enc
post. The wires were then painted
So made, q wire fence proves eff
fective against stock, (sheep, cattl,
and horses and will last twenty
years without repair. No. wire
was used, and posts Of the usual sizt
for ordinary board fences Some
find that twelve feet apart is near
enough to set the posts. We should
prefer eight feet for pasture fence
the cost must depend upon the cos
Of wire per pound and the cost 0
posts in the localities where it is t,
be used.-R urui Neo YORKER.

SEED CoRN.-Much is said upon
the subject Of saveing seed corn and
still many are troubled with poor
seed. Some select their seed at time
OF husking this is not always SAFE
Others think they can select good
seed from the crib in the sprinc-
This plan is very far from n safe one.
1t is not wise to risk crop of corn
upon the possibility that corn has
kept we'll in the crib when such seed
fails ottener than it proves good.
The best plan is to 30 into tho
field rs soon as the corn is ripe
enough and select the very best ears
that can be found, such as have
ripened earlier than the most of the
crop, leaving a few husks on each
ear to trace it up by. Braid twelve
or fifteen ears together and hang in
dry place. Corn that is kept in a
woodshed, chamber or some place
near a fire will grow every time
Unless corn is kept dry it cannot be
depended upon for seed, and if is not
Kept near a fire it will be very apt
TO gather dampness. Seed should be
tired IN the spring before PLANTING.
