A New Board Fence.


Having seen the subject discussed as to
the best method of setting posts for board
fences for durability, l have devised plan
which | respectfully submit to my brother
farmers and other readers of your valuable
paper, which think will supersede any
other, and do away with the mode now in
use:
Take three posts of any durable timber,
four feet long; lay them on the ground,
near the line of fence; nail on the board
to each post; imbed q suitable stone in the
ground where the post is to be set; raise
the section of your fence on the same, and
drive two stakes near each post; draw
them tight together at the top; take a
strong wire of suitable size, loop one end,
bring around into the loop. loop in the
other end and cut off your wire. For the
second length or section, nail on two
posts, elevate, properly secure the same By
stakes and then nail the loose ends to the
first section, and so proceed until the fence
is finished. would also recommend the
stakes to be cut long enough to drive the
second time when rotted off.-C.r. Western

HOME INTERESTS.

CUsTARD WITHOUT EGGS.-Boil a quart
of milk, except teacupful in which to put
four tabIespoonfuIls flour. When 1t bolls
put in very little salt and stir the hour
Just as for starch. Add two tablespoon1uls
of sugar and such spice as you like.
CLEANING CANE SEATs.-Turn up the
chair bottom and with hot water anu a
sponge wash the cane work so that it may
be thoroughly soaked. Should it be dirty
use little soap. Let it dry in the air, and
it will be as tight and firm as when new,
provided the cane is not broken.
IRON MOLD IN LNEN.-Wash the spots
in strong solution of cream of tartar and
water. Repeat if necessary, and dry In the
sun. Another method-Rub the spots
with little powdered oxalic acid or salts
of lemon and warm water Let it remain
few minutes, and then rinse well in clean
water.
To PREPARE WOODEN PAILs.-f COM
mon wooden pail receives three coats OF
common cepal varnish on the inside before
being used, it will never become water
soaked, nor will it give any disagreeable
flavor to water that may be allowed to
stand in it for any length of time. Thus
its usefulness and durability are greatly
ncreased.-Hearth and Home.
BUcKwHEAT CAKEs.-f you want buck
wheat cakes at moments warning, mix
in a large stone or earthen pot. When you
take out gssantunt su6fcat for breakfast or
supper, mix as much in another vessel as
you take out, and pour it into the large
pot, stirring it well. By observing this
rule you will always have nice light cakes.
The large pot must be kept in the cellar.
APPLE FRITTERs. Sour milk. one pint :;
saleratus, one teaspoon; flour, to make a
batter not very stiff; six apples pared and
cored; three eggs. Dissolve the saleratus
In the milk, beat the eggs and put in, then
the flour to make a soft batter, chop the
apples to about the size of small peas, and
mix them well with the batter. Fry in
lard, as you would doughnuts. Eaten
with butter and sugar.
To Cook PoULTRY.-All kinds of poul-
try and meat can be cooked quicker by
adding to the water in which they are
boiled little vinegar or piece of lemon.
By the use of an acid there will be a con-
siderable saving of the fuel, as well as
shortening of time. Its action is benefi-
cial on old, tough meats, rendering them
quite tender and easy of digestion. Tainted
meats and fowl will lose their bad taste
and odor if cooked in this way, and if not
used too freely no taste of it will be ac-
quired.
JELLY.-The juice of apples boiled in
shallow vessels, without particle of SUI
gar, makes the most sparkling, delicious
Jelly imaginable. Red apples will give
jelly the color and clearness of claret,
while that from light fruit is like amber.
Take cider just as it is made, and not al
lowing it to ferment at all, and if possible
boil in flat pan very large and shallow.
Any one living near a $ house" for boil
ing sorghum juice can make this jelly to
perfection.

Strangles in Colt.

This complaint, known very commonly
as distemper, is nothing serious. The
swelling which appears at the junction OF
the jaws and throat win in time break OF
itself and disappear. The only treatment
necessary is to give the colt soft feed, with
bran mashes, and no medicine at all. The
appetite, which falls off while the fever
accompanying the disorder remains, will
return as soon as the abscess has broken.
If the enlargement increases to such an
extent as to threaten partial suffocation, it
may be opened with a lancet and dis
charged. Nopoultice should be applied to
the swelling. Sometimes, when the abb
scess refuses to break or is slow in sup
pl.rating, it may be fastened by rubbing
it with little ointment composed of one
part Spanish flies and six parts of lard

Potato Blight and Rot.


DR.. Thomas Taylor. of Washington. d.
c., communicates to The Lens the result
of experiments upon potatoes, from the
examination into the chemical and struc-
tural theories of DIR. Lyon Playfair and
the fungoid views of several leading my
cologists.
Among other tubers, one-half of pota-
to brought from Santa Fe, New Mexico,
was placed in water with diseased speci-
men and the other half in water to which
sugar had been added. An Ohio potato
was similarly arranged, and the effect OF
allowing it thus to remain for considera-
BILE period noted. On the twentieth day,
the Ohio specimen had entirely dissolved,
while the Santa Fe potato was uninjured.
Comparing the portions in the sugared
water, the Ohio tuber appeared mass of
infusorial life, myeellum, and budding
spores, with a strong odor, no starch cells
being diseernible.
The New Mexican specimen showed few
infusoria, and the starch gr%nules arranged
in celIuloSe, between which bundles OF
mycellum and budding spores appeared in
profusfon. No liberated granules were
visible. Since these experiments, other
northern and eastern varieties have been
tested by f1ngoid solutions in contrast
with some of the New Mexican varieties,
giving like results, clearly demonstrating
the superiority of the Santa Fe potatoes,
over all others thus far examined, in re-
spect to their powers of resisting fungoid
and infusorial action.
We note that the government is about to
test, by samples of every variety of potato
from the above mentioned locality, their
anti fungoid qualities in the open field and
in contrast with the usual varieties grown
in that section of the country.-.scienttfc

THE attention of our many readers is called
to the attractive advertisement of j. N. HAIR
ris & Co., advertising their great and valuable
lung remedy, g Aliens Lung Balsam." This
Balsam has been before the public for ten
years. Notwithstanding this long period, it
has never lost one whit of its popularity, or
shown the least sign of becoming unpopular,
but, on the contrary, the call for it has been
constantly increasing, and atno previous time
has the demand been SO great, or the quanti-
ty made been SO large, as at this day. We
earnestly recommend its trial by any one who
may be afflicted with cough or cold, and
we warrant it to cure if directions are fol-
lowed. 1t is sold by all our city druggists.

Important Pension Ruling.

The Commissioner of Pensions to-day
announced the following highly important
ruling:
Section of the act of March 8, 1873, pro.
vides for no addition to the two dollars in
crease pension in any case. 1t is "a consol-
idation of section 2 Of the act of July %,
1886, and sections and 5 of the act of May
q, 1868, with an amendment to the former
sections, so as to give the same increase to
the widow of the soldier or sailor for the
children by former wife as for the chill
dren by herself, and to the widow of an of
ficer as well as a soldier or sailor. 1t also
gives the increase to all the children under
sixteen years of age of officers as well as
soldiers and sailors, instead of all but one
where there is no widow or where she has
died or remarked. in other respects it en-
bodies the provisions of the three sections
named. 1t is proper to add that such was
the object of the section as held by the
Commissioner of Pensions in both Houses
of Congress. - Wash. Dispatch, 9Th.

payers he apprehended that by going to
ballot without having the matter more
fully investigated and explained to the
people, the measure would be lost. He
wished the question fairly understood by
the citizens before they were asked to vote
upon it. aii ~ "a
Alderman YardIey thought that rescind-
ing that part of the action of the Board
which had reference to ordering an cleo
ton would not reflect upon the report of
the committee. He had found many citi-
zens in his ward who would vote against
the question in its present shape. They
wanted TO know what the probable cost of
] the water works will be before they vote
on the question at all. go
Alderman Camp thought the motion of
Mr.. Fouche was too indefinite to vote up
on. If it was to rescind the entire action
of the Board he was opposed to the motion.
He stated that the committee had received
letters from different large cities,
on the subject, and estimates of the
probable cost, and that it would
not go much beyond $50, GOO. He, at some
length, showed up the workings of differ
ent systems in other and larger cities, and
offered motion in lieu, that they rescind
only that part of the Boards action which
fixes the time of election.
Alderman Fouche stated that he could
not see how this would help the cause any,
as the main objection was not the time of
election, but that it did not cover ground
enough. @ .r, ~
Alderman Yardley thought it would be
best to have the estimates made of the cost
of the water works, and then submit an
appropriation to cover the whole matter at
one time. tt'
Alderman Camp stated that he was in
favor of employing an engineer, and as the
city treasury was empty, he was willing to
pay one-sixteenth part of the expense, if
the remainder of the Board would do the
same.
Alderman Carpenter was also in favor of
employing an engineer, and would pay his
sixteenth part of the expense.
Alderman Camps motion in lieu was
carried.
Alderman Kern suggested that as Mr..
Camp had eXerted himself so much to OBJ
tain information in regard to water works,
it would be a good idea if he would lay
what information he has obtained, before
the people of the city through the columns
of the papers.
On motion of Alderman Camp the cleo
ton was postponed to June 10th.
Alderman Yardley moved that the mat.
ter be referred to the same committee to
make an estimate of the cost.
Alderman Camp made motion in lieu,
that the Mayor appoint committee of
five, who shall have power to employ a
hydraulic engineer and have the matter
thoroughly Investigated and estimates
made of the cost, and report the same at
the second regular meeting Carried.
The Mayor appointed the former COM
mittee with the exception of substituting
the name of Mr.. Carpenter in the place of
that of Mr.. Kern, at Mr.. Kern's own re-
quest. The committee is as follows: At
kin, Carpenter, Logan, Baxter and Camp.
Mr.. Henderson moved that the commit
tee be instructed to investigate the Scotch
mill system of water works. Lost.
On motion the Board adjourned to next
regular meeting.
