A Movable Fence.

There are great advantages in moving
poultry yards from one spot to another,
SO that the ground enriched by the &C.
cupancy of fowls may be profitably us ed
in growing luxuriant crops, while at the
same time it is purified and prepared for
re-occupation as poultry yard another
season. Every farmer and family, with
q little spare ground and moderate in.
genuity, can contrive to shift the poul-
try yard alternatively north, east, south
and west of the fowl house, if the latter
is located, when built, with that object.
The pickets are six feet by two and
onehalf inches. Thin stuff for pickets
will last longer in proportion to the cost
than inch stuff WILL The rails are three
inches square. AT each end of each rail
there are U shaped pieces of thick hogs
head hoop-iron, fastened 10y screws so
as to form staples, through which posts
seven and one half inches in diameter
are passed and fixed in the ground. The
rails are fastened at different distances
apart, in adjoining lengths or sections
of the fence, SO that the staples shall
not interfere, while at the same time the
points of the pckets shall be in lime.
Such u fence would sooon begin to lean,
and be blown over if not stayed by a
brace at each post.
This brace, placed outside of the yard
of course, so that the birds may not use
it as ladder, is made by saving raj
stick in two, and furnishing each end
with staple fastened upon it at an OBJ
fuse angle, and made at the top of the
right length to inclose the post, and al
the bottom long enough to admit of 8
suitable stake being driven through il
into the earth, with the top inclinins
away from the fence. Of course the
ends of the brace must be beveled to fl
the ground and the post.
TO set such fence to advantage two
men are needed, one at each end of /;
section. 1t is one of the advantage
which this fence possesses, that whel
taken apart it packs fiat, and may there
fore be carried on wagon or sled, o
stored under cover when not in USE

Sowing Grain.

Experiments in sowing wheat show
that in plots where one bushel to the
acre is sown the proportionate yield is
greater than on fields where two bush.
els are sown. 1t is estimated there are
from GO, 600 to 700, 900 grains in bushel
sf wheat-say 100000. There are
6,273,640 square inches in an acre.
Using one bushel per acre there would
be about one seed TO each nine and one.
third square inches. Suppose each plant
to tiller nine or ten fold land it most
certainly will, under halfway favorable
conditions), it gives one stalk or head
to the square inch, which is many more
than can mature under the most favor.
able circumstances. 1t is, therefore,
plain that one bushel of good seed per
acre is a superabundance. In sowing
two we waste one, even though it does
not decrease the yield.

The cause of horse kicking at night
is oftener the result of nervousness and
restlessness than of vicious propensities.
1t is form OF hysteria of the limbs.
We have cured animals OF this by at
taching round ball of wood weighing
two pounds to the hind fetlock of the
limb most used in kicking, by means of
a strap two and half or three feet
long. When he kicks he administers
to himself blow from the ball. He
quickly finds that if he keeps still he
receives no blow, and ceases to kick

How to Save Clover Seed.

. A Canada farmer put wire bottom in
a trough in which he fed his stock, the
wire being two or three inches above the
close bottom of the trough. The stock,
in pulling the clover hay from the rack,
would scatter the seed, almost pure,
through the wire into the receptacle be-
low. In this way he saved seed enough
for his own sowing, and to pay for all
the dry goods used in his family, and
received $25 in cash besides.

Americans in Paris-Their Extrava.
gauce the Talk of All Europe.

Black~oods Magazine, in a well-digested
article on French dress, sustains the
testimony OF correspondents as to "the
extravaganza of American Travellers"
1t says vely justly, that if Worth has
made Il fortune out Of the wants which
he supplied, he deserves the credit of
having intelligently understood his
time, and OF having been the first to
satisfy new demand. He has no re-
spons!bliity i'll the matter; he happened
to possess certain natural gifts OF u
peculiar kind he was able to invent
dresses with IL fertility, u variety, an
audacty, and skill which no one else
possessed in the same degree; SO the
women who wanted dresses cane to
hun. Finding that the current had set
his way, he asked prices which repre-
sented two separate sorts of goods
material and invention. His rivals
could only execute; he was able to
create; he naturally claimed to be paid
for both, and the world he served &C,
cepted his conditions. 1t is correct to
say "the world" for two thirds of all
Worth's productions have been absorb
ed by foreigners. The Americans especi.
ally have been his largest customers.
1t Is necessary to state this, so that the
blame OF giving $500 for d plain cos
tune or 81 GOO tor a ball dress may not
be attributed to Frenchwomen alone.
The truth is, as may easily be ascer-
tanned by little inquiry in the right
places, that the great providers of the
various details OF toilette who cluster
round the Rue de la Paix-the makers
not only OF Uncomfortable gowns, but of
fairy bonnets, adorable jewels, dreamy
chauSSureS, and the other thousand deli
cacies which contribute to make up the
modern woman-all work more for the
United States and Russia than for
France. There are ladies at st. Peters
burg WHO spend 5000 year in shoes
alone whose annual cost Of gloves and
stockings would keep six families of
weayers who think it quite natural TO
pay the journey of their favorite auteur

abusing Frenchwomen for their cx-
travagance-as we all do SO willingly
let us be honest enough to remember
that not one of them attains the height

ladies whose names it is not necessary
to mention, but who are well known on

stories might be told if discretion did
not bar the way.
The Boston Transcript says: "Those
who remember Mr.. Stewart in his per
