Fence Planting on the Iowa
and Nebraska Prairies.
Respectfully yours,
r. L. PORTER.

The erection of board fences on u
prairie farm is an expensive operation.
In Nebraska the law wisely removes
the necessity tor fence building, by
providing fol the herding of live stsck !;
and in Iowa, the needs Ofpractical farm
ing life brings about very much the
same result.
But in each case, the law and the
practice are the things of the day. it is
an instinct in the owner of land to de-
fine his possessions by metes anu
bounds, obvious to the eye, which sep
arate his land from that of his neigh
Dor. Ifiences were not convenience
there would be fences therefore; but, as
fences are a convenience, the improy-
ing prairie farmer sets himself to their
creation as soon Us his house is built,
and his land broken. Live fences, OF
course, are the desideratum; and there
are three plants which are most in fav-
or for the purpose. The Honey locust
the Usage Orange and the White willow,
make good fences. The two former are

Stumping the Speller.

1t is said that the following arrange
ment of words, it dictated with any
degree of rapidity, will stump the best
speller: "The most skillful gauger /
ever knew was 4 maligned cobbler,
armed with peniard, who drove ped
d!er's wagon, using mullen stalk as
an instrument of coeracion to tyrannize
over his pony, shod with ealks. He was
a Gulilean Sadducee, and he had a phth-
iscky catarrh, diptneria, and the bilious
intermittent erysipelas. A certain sibyl,
with the sobriquet of Gypsy went in
TO ecstacies of exclamation at seeing
him measure bushel of peas, and sep
arate saccharine tomatoes from heap
of peeled potatoes, without dyeing or
singeing the ignitable queue which he
wore, or becoming paralyzed with a
hemorage. Lifting her eyes to the cell
ing of the cupola of the capitol to con-
ceal her unparalleled embarrassment,
making a rough courtesy, and not har-
RAISING him with mystifying, rarifying,
and stupefying inuendoes, she gave him

From the Oberlin News
Agricultural Notes.

Peddlers should be set out as speedily
as possible.
Squash vines should be transplanted
i'm the new of the moon.
Always sprout dried apples during the
equinoctial snow storm.
Buttons and beeswax are an early veg
etable, and require sowing early.
Apple sass plants should be started in
a little wooden box with an eyeglass
over it.
In trimming rail fence be careful not
to break off new shoots, as 1t is liable to
injure the fruit.
Stock should be watered twice day
now, especially railroad stock, which is
apt to shrink If 1t is allowed to become
dry.
If your wife cleans house this month
it would be policy to chop cord wood up
in the mountains, and keep house on the
European plan.
There are several choice varieties OF
cabbage In good and regular standing,
The Pink-eyed, South Down, Short
horned, Herefords and the copper-toed
are counted among the best.

COUNTY O., THURSDAY,

impermeable to stock; and, when the
latter is well established, the same char
acter may be claimed for it. The
White Willow is also of hardy and rap
id growth.
Mr.. c. B. Mendenhall, of Marshall
County, Iowa, has used the White Will
low extensively. On his farm there are
about thirteen miles of White Willow
fencing, of from three to seven years
growth, about half of which will turn
cattle, and portion cut half cord of
wood to the rod. Mr.. Mendenhall has
also grove of White Willow, COW
ering twenty acres, set out six years
ago, and which he considers to be worth
$500 per acre.
As, we doubt not, some of our readers
are even. now considering the question
of moving west to Iowa or Nebraska,
and, as knowledge is light burden to
carry, we give Mr.. Mendenhall's meth-
od OF planting:-The willow slips are
to be eight inches in length, thrifty
sprouts of one or too years growth.
The ground for the hedge-row is to be
plowed as deeply as possible during
4 dead furrow being left where
It is proposed the fence shall stand.
Just before frost comes the land is to be
turnd back, the dead furrow being fill
ed in. As soon as the earth is open,
plant the slips eight inches apart, COW
ering them with finely pulverized
aarth.--Cultivate as corn for two years,
keeping the infant fence entirely clear
Of weeds. The following method will
ensure rapid growth: Mulch well in the
fall after the second year, placing the
as close to the plants as may
be, without touching the stems. By
following Mr.. Mendenhalrs plan, the
prairie farmer, with White Willow,
will have thrifty fence in the course
IF three or four years; and in six years
mis- enclosure will be perfect.

N ational Agricultural Con-
gress.

A National Agricultural Congress is
in session in Atlanta, Georgia, most OF
the delegates present so far being from
the South. President Jackson, in his
address, warned the farmers to be care.
full that their organizations are not Sc
duced into demoralizing political alli-
ances or prostituted to the purposes of
designing men. At the same time he
claimed the right of the farmers to pro-
mote among themselves a more intelli-
gent understanding of political econ
omy in its relation to agriculture by
papers and. discussions upon finance,
taxation, commerce and so forth, TO the
end that they select such Representa-
tives, State or National, whether far
mers or not, as will be likely with aDil-
ity, diligence and integrity to sustain
and advance the cause of agriculture.
President Jackson said:
The farmers have greater inducements
to be patriotic and conservative than
other vocations. That business sus-
tains the Government, and the Govern
ment must sustain the tree that bears
the fruit-it must be nourished and pro-
tected. The feelings and desires Of the
farmers remain uncared for, but rail-
road monopoly, stock association, the
petitions and wants of bondholder,
or the combinations of an ofiice-seek-
er, is of more moment than the price
of wheat, corn or tobacco, even though
that price involves a loss to the pro-
ducer.
Our Government has i'm times past
dealt out our public domain with Law
ish and profligate hand to provide
homesteads for immigrants from. for
eign lands as well rs for natives; and
very large and liberal appropriations
of the public treasure have been set
apart to aid railroad enterprises, and
yet these advancements to public works
have been coupled with no restrictions
on railroad tariffs for the protection of
the population induced by Government
bounty to settle on or hear the line of
their works. In word, nothing has
been done by the Government to bring
about cheap transportation, and doubt
the railroads, if honestly and
conducted, could afford
sufficiently cheap transportation for as
bulky commodities as corn and grain.
Besides there is not a sufficient number
of railroads for the transportation of
.he product of the grain producing re-
sions of this country. 1t seems to me
hat the Improvement of water routes,
he openings Of new canals, is neces-
'ity. We should approach with great
care any action looking to the disturb
lnce of vested rights by legislative en-
actment. Railroad charters are in the
nature of contracts, and it would be
lnwise and unsafe to establish the pre-
,edent of violating contracts, though /
am aware that an eminent journalist
thinks that the passenger and freight
tariffs on railroads should be regulated
rs tolls on turnpike roads. The reme-
ly lies in examining whether these cor
porations have violated their charters.
If so, annul them and begin anew. And
permit me in this connection, gentle |
men, to remark that the most effective
method to reduce the cost of transpor-
tation is to encourage the building of
establishments to work
up the raw material. .,.l

Paradoxes.

Water thrown in a red-hot metallic
vessel does not boil, as we should ex-
pect, but quietly gathers itself together,
forming a more or less perfect sphere,
and in that condition flsats about grace
fully on the hot surface as 1t slowly
evapOrates away. If at the same time
a very vaporizable substance, as liquor
sulphurous acid, is thrown in, the wa
ter may actually be. frozen in the red
hot vessel. sFFffr, Z, i-l-gs
Water boiled in glass flask until the
upper part of the vessel is entirely
filled with the steam, and then dexter
ously corked before air can gain ad-
mission and placed in cold water re-
commences to boil. The boiling is pre-
duced by Geld instead of heat, and the
experiment is known as the ordinary
paradox.
If steam from water boiling as 2l2
deg. is passed into a solution Of salt in
water the temperature of the solution
steadily rises, passing 212 deg, reach
ing the boiling point of the solution;
finally the latter also boils at a temper
ature as high and even higher than $50
deg, according to its nature. Then we
have the extraordinary result of attain
ing higher temperature, say 220 deg.
from lower one, viz: 212 deg.
If there is anything in nature that
possesses positive character it is light.
Yet the physicist may so reflect the
light from given source as to cause it
to destroy itself and produce darkness.
In like manner two sounds may be
made to interfere with each other, and
either produce silence or increased in
tensity of sound, at the will of the

A Type Writing Machine.

There is fair chance now of writing
being done away with altogether. An
instrument has been invented by one
James Densmore, of New York, called
the '.Type Writer" 1t is about the size
Of the sewing machine, and is worked
like a piano. The keys are in four banks
or rows, twelve to fourteen inches In
length, so that the keyboard is about
fifteen inches wide, and the process of
writing is to sit before the instrument
and manipulate the keys. When the
key is struck the type is thrown up,
and will not fall until the finger is re-
moved from the key. The types are
on the ends of series fsteel
bars, pivoted on a circle, so that they
may vibrate on the pivots and all strike
at the same pRinR Directly over the
point where the types all strike an ink
ing ribbon is drawn, so that every type
will strike it before it can strike any
thing else, and is made to move so as to
touch every time in fresh place. Di-
rectly over this linking ribbon the pa
per carriage is made to move from right
to left, and the paper is arranged to go
under a cylinder or roller, which acts
as platen, so that every time a key is
struck type is thrown up sgainst the
mixing ribbon, carrying the ribbon with
it against the cylindrical platen, and
there it leaves its impression. The re-
manning machinery is very ingenious.
The speed is said to be three times that
OF the pen, and the force required very
small. An expert may write sixty five
words minute. The machine has for
ty-four characters. Such is the type
writing machine. All we now want,
says the Inter- Ocean, is spelling ma
chine and patent brain-wsrker,
through which may hatch poetry,
and the summit of human ambition will
have been attained.

they get law, and the law is always il

in Ohio would exist to-day il the Law

Now let us suppose that to be true. II
is the very first principle of equity thai
he who comes into court of equity
must do equity. He who asks for law,
must obey law! Well when you come
to apply this principle to the saloons
where is their standing? How many Of
the 5000 drinking shops of Ohio have
complied with the law fully? Scheid
and his attorney came into the court ol
Lebanon, with the common idea that
they were pursuing a lawful vocation,
and they had right to ask for protec-
tion. If they had, they could not ask
it by injunction. 1t would be to make
an Injunction the instrument Of easy
immortality in the State and to violate
law by law. But what was the state of
fact? The whole case is fully stated in
Judge Smiths judgment at Lebanon.
But there is another ground which, in
judgment, effectually disposed of this
motion. That is the third-viz: That
the allegations of the petition are not
true. He alleges that he kept house
where he conducted business according
to law. From the nature of the case,
the character of his business in this re-
speet is directly in issue, and from the
proof it is perfectly clear to my mind
that instead of this it was place where
intoxicating liquors were habitually
sold in violation of the laws of the
State, and where gambling was con-
being carried on.
Such place as this our statue ex-
pressly declares to be public nuisance,
and which being shown in a proper
case would have to be ordered by the
court to shut up. Now the doctrine is
perfectly well settled that a nuisance,
either public or private, may be abated
even by force, so no breach of the peace
Is committed. Surely, then the means
used here, with the view Oh abating
this nuisance, were net unlawful or in
lerogation of the rights of the plain
.iff, for as the keeper of such an estab-
shment the maintalner of public
nuisance, and gambling house, he can
nave no standing in court of equity,
when he asks to be protected in his un-
awful and criminal business. The in
uction will be dissolved at plaintiffs
,osts.
