Cheap Board Fence.

Ia saw for fencing boards | think that
there is too much lumber used in the fences
tor profit Some six years since we built
Il board fence, and it is seemingly as good
to-day rs when put up, and stands as fair
The posts were some old lOiSt which we
took from a building when we took it
down. They We're four inches square set
in the ground two and half feet The
boards were four inches wide and one inch
thick. fifteen feet in length, one post in the
middle and one at each end The top Of
the first board was nailed four feet from
the ground. and the others We're put equal
distances apart from each other. This
fence is not rakcd by the wind nor does it
stop the snow, and it gives full protection
from the cattle.
AT SD per thousand feet the boards
only cost thirty cents for fifteen feet in
length and your readers can guess at the
cost Of the posts. We think it preferable
to split with 4 saw all posts that are large
enough, so as to have fair surface to nail
to, and it makes the fence stitfer Also
the flat surface in the ground stands better
and will not be racked so much by the
force of the wind. Farmers can Just as
well cut their logs the RIGHT length, and
save lumber

acres, which we fenced with only one
board in height three and one-half feet
from the ground, and found no difficulty

season late, oats cannot be got in till the

Prune Orchards.

Trees that are hardy may be prnned in
midwinter, provided no large wounds are
made. An orchard properly and timely
attended To Will rarely require the removal
Of large limbs. We often see recommen-
dations to prune early in summer. because
the wounds heal rapidly at that time.
That season may answer, provided the
cutting is very sparingly performed. or
and grow with great vigor. But early
summer pruning always tends to check the
thrltness of trees; and if vigor Of growth
is desired. always prune before the buds
begin TO swell-either in winter or very
early in spring; and if trouble is likely to
occur from the flow of sap, cover the
wounds with paint, grating wax, shellac
ValniSh, or 4 mixture of tar and brick dust
OF road dust If the wounds are made by
winter pruning the cut surface will become
so dry in Il few weeks that either of these
applications will adhere we'll and serve as

by fever, inflammation of the mucous

Keeuing a Milk Record.

There is no herd of dairy cows in eXis-
tence but that some cows are less valuable
than others The scales point out these
variations, and the judgment of the farmer
does the rest The keeping record is so
readily done that it is surprising that the
system is not adopted by every intelligent
farmer. A pair of spring balances weigh
ing two ounces. and milk pals of the
same weight; as each COW is MIXED the
pail is hung on the hook to the balance,
and the weight recorded 1t takes but
moment, and at leisure hour the weight
of the pail can be subtracted, or if the
farmer prefers, the index to the scale can
be set back on the dial just the weight of
the pail, and then the observer reads off
each time of milking the true weight

answered:
