FENCING.

There are many farms on which the fence has
cost more than the farm and fence too would sell
for, either at auction or private sale. Let any one
who is so unfortunate as to be the owner OF farm
fenced with post and rail fence, make an estimate
of the cost, and he will not only be surprised but
that what l have stated is not far from
the truth and unless his wooden fence is new
and strong he will find that it will cost him more
for repairs than the tax on his farm. The wind
will try it, the cattle will try it, the climate will
rot it, the worms and insects will eat it, and do all
they to destroy this very important part of the
farmers property. After all, some fence that can
be moved from place to place is needed, and must
be maintained. The outside fence should be of Il
more substantial and enduring material. First
among the materials is stone, but when this is not
on the place, some other material must be brought
out. The live hedge seems to stand next in point
of economy and durability. If am not mistaken
most of the shrubs that have been tried have proved
wholly or in part, a failure, and have been aban-
doned, and the eXperimentor forced back to the
old wooden fence. More should be written and
published upon this subject; those who have met
with success should let it be known, 80 that others
may benefit by their suggestions, and those that
have failed should let their light shine also, that
others may not fall into the same error. have
had no experience in this matter, but have been
thinking it and have come to the conclusion
that the native, sturdy and hardy oak would make
good hedge if properly planted and managed.
would plant the acorns in two rows. say about ten
or twelve inches apart, and the same distance be
tween the hills, SO placed that the hills should not
be directly opposite each other but in alternate
places. When the plants are about one year old
they should be cut back to the ground this to en-
more vigorous growth. After the hedge
has grown SO as to turn cattle, one of the rows,
which | will call No. |. may be cut down for fire
wood, letting No. stand until No. has

TO HAVE PLENTY OF cuCUMBERs.

A correspondent of the Iiorticulturst writes: l
had narrow border not more than two and half
feet wide on the edge of a high fence. planted
three cucumber hills in the border and laid some
brush (such as is used for pea vnes) between them
and the fence. AS soon as they crept up to the
brush, | pinched off the ends of the vine, which
thickened rapidly around the roots, and in every
direction, throwing out the most vigorous foliage
and profusion Of flowers.
did not allow the cucumbers to grow, but
watched them, and such as wished to reserve for
the table picked they became of proper
size; and all the rest were gathered every day for
pickles; every day pinching off the bud mt the end
of each shoot. In this way the hill continued fresh
and productive until they We're touched by frost.
Some Judgment can be formed of the value of this
practice when l add that more than a barrel of
pickles made from three hills, besides allow
ing supply for the table.
Whenever leaf begun to look rusty Or yellow
ish, it was removed, and the cucumbers and leaves
cat off with large scissors. AS not to dis
turb or wound the vine There is an advantage in
having them run into brush instead of trailing over
the ground; because they are much injured by
being trodden on, and by being kept low on the
bushes they can be easily and thoroughly eNamin-
ed over every day, which is essential if cucumbers
are overlooked, and grow very large ii stops the
yield of that vine.

HONEY BEES GOSSIP.

Come, darling, you've played i'll the fragrant red
clover
Till cheeks lips and forehead have caught its soft
glow;
I've seen you roll merry over and over;
Come here to my side; you're tired know.
Sit down here and listen; I'll tell you story;
Eve heard all the flowers and grasses have said
How hrmming-bird cOurted the pink morning
glory,
And afterwards married the pansy instead
Just now 4 brown bee DER the meadow came flying
And told what the butter cup said to the sun =

Because the south wind has the ribbon-grass Won
He says that the asters will blossom in season,
And wed with the golden rod. yellow and tall,
And the.brde's maid, It's whispered, he says. and
with reason.

The last thing he humned to the pretty red clover
Was of the old mullen stalk, withered and gray
But Just then you laughed as you gaily rolled over
And taking his honey, he hurried away.

FISH

In spite of all that has been written on the propa-
cation of fish, few persons are aware how systema-
ticay the business is carried or its great value.
1t Is reported that in 1863 there We're carried to
London market alone nearly four million pounds OF
salmon worth million OF dollars. These fish are
furnished from the rivers OF Ireland. England and
Scotland. The fishing rental of the river Tay for
the year 1864 seventy-housand dollars in gold.
Scientific breeding and raising OF fish have increas-
ed very much since that time. The propagat ion OF
the oyster has been carried to great extent in tins
country. Every village and city in the country is
supplied with them. Itmust require many millions
of oysters year to do it. In France the oyster
culture is carried on to an extent absolutely AS
tonishng Thus the sea, the rivers, lakes and
ponds can be made to furnish vast amount of
wholesome food to meet the wants of man. We
hope and believe the time is not far distant when
our rivers and lakes will be stocked with fish
They are often now only useless wastes. MiSs;t-
chllsetts and New Hampshire ure initiating expert
ments on this subject, and If found to succeed, ii
will be well for us in Maine to see what can he

HOW TO MOVE EvERGREENS.

them well cared for on the passage and then bed
them out so closely that the foliage will nearly or
quite cover the ground; then take some old hay
and cover them all thinly, to break the intense
rays of the sun, that they may start out new
bres before full exposure. With this care, success
is almost certain. Some bed out on the back or

satisfied that they are genuine. The only
counterfeit coupons that have been discov-
