Building Board Fence-Ca,c..

wish TO say, in addition to an excellent arti-
Gle contained in a late number of the Ohio Far
ner, under the title of "Fenciug in March" that
the durability of board fence depends much
upon the manner in which the boaads are ap-
piled. 1t is very important that the boards he
put upon the posts TO break joints, not al
lowing a tier of boards to end upon the same
post, for the fence will very sag in and ont.
Ii can be done by merely saving one of the mar
row boards in two in the middle. Begin mailing
the boards at one end of the row of posts; apply
the bottom board at full length: then one-half of
the narrow board; again full length board; then
the other half, and full length top board; the
balance of the fence can then he built of whole
boards, and the joints broken in such manner
as TO make the fence a strong and durable one.
In the same article, the author states that the
best gate is made of scantlng aud boards, well
braced, and swung on hinges. That's a fact, but
he gives no method of making the gate The
following is the best that know of in use. Take
two pieces of three by four scantling one piece
from four to five feet long-according to the
height of the fence-and the other eight feet
long; match the boards into the scantling their
thickness; then dovetail brace into the notches
already eut, rnnning from the top of the latch
end to the bottom of the hinge end of the gate.
This brace can be made of strip of fence board
three or four inches wide. After putting the
gate together put on battens aud nail them
firmly to the scantling; also nail batten board
in the middle of the gate, and cap upon the
top. A three-eighths rod of iron should be fas-
tened to the latch end of the gate and to the top
of the hinge scantling, with a nut upon one end,
that il can be drawn tight Set the post upon
which the gate is to hang firmly in the ground,
and let it extend eight feet above ground. Put
a solid pair of hinges, one within a foot of
each end of the scantling, and the gate will new

Amount Of seed 10 the Acre.

1t is impossible to give arbitrary rule for the
amount of seed, since there are so many circum-
stances to be taken into account. Where after
thinning is practicable, it is expedent to use
seed literally, but where this cannot be done,
we think the error is usually on the side Of too
thick sowing. Wheat, for example, if evenly
sown and well covered, will do better with
small quantity of seed. The growth of both
straw and grain will be larger if the plants be
not too much crowded.
The following gives the smaller and larger
quantities usually sown or planted Hpon an
acre:
Barley, broadcast, II to 2t bushels; in drills,
to IL bushels. Beans, 2 TO 3 bushels. Beets, 2
to 5fbs Bnckwheat, to II bushels. Carrots,
TO p lbs. Corn, (Indian,) to II bushels. Broom
Corn. to II bushels. Flax, for seed, I to

Glover, 10 to Is MS; White Clover. to & lbs;
Blne grass (Kentucky,) 10 to is fbs; Herds grass
(Red Top,) Is to is quarts; Orchard grass, 20 to
so lbs; Timothy. IL to Is quarts. Hemp, for seed,
to bushel; fibre, TO II bushels. Mllet, l to
II bushels. Mustard, 10 to 20 qts. Oats, to 4
bushels. Onions, 4 to its. Parsnips, to fts
Peas, in drills, 1t to II bushels; broadcast, 2 to
81 bushels, according to size of seed. Peanuts,
in hills or drills, to . bushels Turnips, II to

were to increase the paper circulation by 10 per

vanced simultaneously exactly 10 per cent, the
only important class Of persons who would be
injured would he those to whom debts of def

that, if the laboring man now gets So a day, and

Purier characterization.

What can be more appropriate than the now
prevailing fashion of ornamenting the interior
of private residences with artificial flowers
Parlors reception rooms boudoirs, and dining
rOolns are made brilliant with bright garlands of
flowers. Parian marble and decorated China
vases upon the mantel shelves contain bouquets
in imitation for the rarrsr blossoms of the con-
servatory On the window inches and the funr
carriers of the room handsome jardiRiere1s are
placed upon rosewood aud black walnut stands.
These are filled with sawdust and covered with
dried moss, and from this "soiF' pyramids,
crowns anchors, cruises, and wreaths of flowers
are built up in the most graceful manner. Proud

meek violets, and the sweet little arbutus, min
gle in lovely confusion with leaves aud trail
ing Wild vines, falling gracefully over the jar

emerald leaves. These are expensive luXnries,
bnt nevertheless whatever makes our homes at

extravsgant clothing.

A Negro Di,eu,.ion absu, EGGS.

Geneva, the lovely village on Seneca Lake,

AIRY ruling:-"ln the fairest village of Western
New York, the "culled persons" in imitation of
their white brethren, formed Debating Society,
for the purpose of improving their minds by the
discussion of instructive and entertaining topics.
The deliberations of the Society were presided
over by a venerable darkey, who performed his
duties with the utmost dignity peculiar to his
color. The subject of discussion on the occasion
of which we write, was, Which am de mudder
OBJ de chicken-de hen wOt lay de egg, or de hen
wot matches de cbickf" The question was warm
Is debated, aud many reasons pro and con were
urged and cOmbatted by the excited dsputants.
Those in favor of the latter proposition were
identity in the majority, and the President made
no attempt to conceal that his sympathies were
with the dominant party. At length intel
ligent darkey arose from the minority side, and
begged leave {" state proposition to this effect:
-'SpOse,' said he, dat you set one dozen ducks
eggs under hen, and dey hatch-which am de
mudder, de duck or de henf This was a poser
was well put, and nonplussed the other side
even staggering the President. who plainly saw
the force of the argument, but had committed
himself too far to yield without struggle; so,
after cogitating and scratching his wool few
moments, a bright idea struck him. Rising from
his chair in all the pride of conscious superiority
he announced: Ducks am not before de house

CATCHING Rurr.

Although bugs are generally sound asleep at

mind the following method for destroying them.

discovery that would be. writer in French

perience:
after sunset place in the centre of my or

previously tarred. At the bottom of the barrel
place lighted lamp. Insects of many kinds,
attracted by the light, make for the lamp, and,
while circlng around it, strike against the sides
of the barrel, where, meeting with the tar, their
wings and legs becomes 81 elogged that they fall
helpless to the bottom. In the morning eX-

Msrfnl aud Curious.
or Car Of Coffee.


1t has been truthfully said that even IN these
enlightened days, and in the lands most dressed
by the in1nence of civilization, there are thous-
ands OF persons born into the world who i've
long lives and then go down into their graves
without ever having tasted a cup of coffee There
are many reasons for this, and the principal one,
Of course, must be that so few persons know how
To make good coffee. Aud yet there have been
thousands of Recipes and directions published
which teach how to make gnod coffee by boiling
il; by not boiling il; by combining the essence
and aroma; by making it in an open vessel; by
sleeping II; by not sleeping it; by clearing il; by
not clearing II; by grinding it fine; by grinding
1t coarse, and by many other methods OppOstd TO
each other and To all these. Now do not in
tend to try To tell anybody how to make good
coffee, but We just wish to say word about the
treatment of the coffee after it is made; and Oh
this treatment depends it excellence, brew it as
you may. The rule is simple: nerer decdnf It.
Whatever else yOn do about it, bring 1t TO the

of good coffee OF course if il is considered more
desirable to have the pot look well than TO have
the coffee taste well, we have nothing more tn

FOR ONLY $50.

We like disinterested benrvolence. 1t is so
rarely found in this selfish world, that when We
find it we feel inclined to stick pin in it, and
examine it with than ordinary care. When
we look over the business chances" in the New
York dalies and how many brilliant opportu-
mites offered for men of small capital, and no
capital, TO make a fortune in q few days, we
wonder how any man or woman can remain
poor an hour. We have offers where a man, by
inclOsing fifty cents TO the extensive hrm of
"GreenhOrn & Co., can realize, by "active can
vassing" from twen VI five TO fifty dollars. Some
of these benevolent fortune makers offer still
better chances. They don't want money-they
want agents, to whom they will give all the way
from two to five Thousand year. How many
young meu have grown rich through these bril-
liant offers the late census fails to tell us. But
the latest, and the must princely offer, comes in
the shape of lottery scheme. IL heads its cir
culars, 'S250, 900 for only So" When we first
read this offer our brain reeled at the suddenness
of The fortune that was thrust upon for ''Only
So" We felt half inclised To take couple,
and give one to the poor, just TO link our name
with the Astors and the Peabody of the age
But We lost the desire to purchase so much for
little money, by reading and thinking too
much of tho scheme. We discovered that we
were addressed as a mere fraction of a unit and
that unit big one. The unit purchased the for
tune for the benefit of its smallest fraction. In
plain English, about sixty thousand persons put
i'll $50 each to make one person rich. The odds
were against us. We tried to figure out the
ghost of a chance, but we abandoned it in des-
pair. We reduced IL to sum IN proportion
