Selling and Fencing.

IN Europe, soiling is one of the es.
sentials of successful farming. The
time may have been when they bad
system of fencing similar to that of
ours; but, if they had, it is so long
since that no record remains of it un-
less we expect the system of hedging
that obtained in England. for long
time but that system is now held i'm
light repute, and d large percentage
of it has been cut down within the
last quarter of a century, to give room
for crops for sOiling purposes.
England, with her moist, cool eli
mate, is most admirably adapted to
pasturage, and yet the farmers find
profit in cutting green food for their
stock. In this way they find that the
same number of cattle can be kept on
a much less number of acres, and that
fertility of the soil is kept up, added
to which is thegreat saving of fences.
She farmer who relies on dead
fences and pasturage must make an
enormous gross return ia order to
cover the waste of fences and extra
taxes. In the dairy districts of New
York soiling is becoming popular be-
cause it is found profitable. Under q
system of mixed pasturage and the
soiling, the average product of q
given number Of cows has been near
ly or quite doubled. 1t would appear
TO be the part of wisdom for us of the
prairie to carefully consider this SUITS
ject, and to give itsuch test this sea-
son as will settle its value.
In our continental climate, subject
as We are to long periods of drouth,
and always with short pasturage In
July and August, soiling, for those
months. at least, will be necessity,
If we would make the production of
butter aud cheese profitable West.

"IT's SET FOR TWENTY MINUTES.
A good story is told Of an English judge
visiting a penal institution, and being
practically disposed, the learned judge
philanthropically trusted himself on the
tread.mill, desiring the warden to set it in
motion. The machine was accordingly
adjusted, and his lordship began to lift
his feet. In few minutes. however, the
new hand had quite enough Of it, and
called to be released, but this was not SO
easy. "Please, my lord" said the man,
"you cant get off. It's set for twenty
minutes; that's the shortest time We can
make it 60" So the judge was in durauce
until his "tcrm" expired.

Coop NAME.-Before all things, and
beyond all price, is good name. Eminent
wisdom has declared that it is "Sather IA
be chosen than great riches"
1t stands for and is the label of man. 3
character. The name one bears, or the
accredited reputation, represents his man
ly worth, his solidity, his virtues and
honor. No power can bring back the
fragrance of good name once blasted.
No tongue can declare its value, no mind
can conceive the vacuum made by its loss.
With it, poverty becomes hand.maid ;
with it, wealth is disgrace.
With it, the humblest relations Of life
are blessed and enuobled; without il, the
highest titles, the most honorable position
and the most favorable human relations
are marks of humiliation and insignia Of
worthlessness.
A good name is the blossom and fruit
of goodness. It is not mark pasted on
character BY some outside hand, but the
proper developement Of the inner man
the shining light which pure aud good
soul puts in sight from within.

CRANBERRIEs FOR POTs AND HANGING
BAsKErs.-A correspondent Of the Cali
fornia Farmer makes tho following excel
lent suggestion lido not see how any
one, who has ever noticed the delicate foli-
age and flowers of the cranberry, even
when wild and uucultivated, could fail to
be struck with its beauty. But my object
now is to call the attention Of your readers
to its value when cultivated in pots, in the
house, or, still better, in hanging baskets.
When thus grown, the long, slender stems,
dropping from the basket, together with
the rich fruit, form a most beautiful OBJ
jech Let those who mourn that they
cannot afford to purchase foreign novel
ties, make rustic basket, and put q few
cranberry plants in it, and hang it in the
window, and they will say they never saw
anything more beautiful"

drank largo quantities, sometimes IS much
as four or even Eve quarts in morning,
without any mixture or infusion, aud as
hot rs he could bear. His manner was to
peur about pint at time into = basin,
and to drink it with spoon, As lift had
been soup. Warm water, he said, would
relax and uauseate, but bot water was the
finest stimulant and most powerful restor-
ative in the world. He certainly thought
it sovereign cure for every complaint;
and not only took it himself, but prescribed
it with the confidence Of Sangrado to
every patient that came in his way.

A VAPoR BATH.-A simple and easy
method Of taking a Russian bath on .
small scale at home, but method quite as
efficient as any other, is this: seat yourself
unclothed on a cane. e.bottomed chair, under
which you place very hot brick on 4
plate. Wrap large blanket around you
from the neck downward. inclosing the
chair, and carefully close the borders.
Pour from time to time a little hot water
on the brick, and the body will soon be in
an atmosphere of highly heated vapor.
If dry-air bath is preferred, place spirit
lamp under the chair, and arrange the
blankets as before. When tho perspira.
ton has lasted from fifteen to twenty min.
utes, throw aside the blanket. and plunge
into tub already filed with cold water,
or take cold shower bath.
The only warning need in this proce.
dure-but that is an important one-is
not to allow the body to become cooled
between the hot and the cold stages. The
transition must be sudden, and the cold
dip or shower must last but for second
or two, otherwise trouble may result.
