his appearance IN the heighborhOod, ostensi

as having lately been engaged IN the lumber
trade at or near Altoona, Pa. He agreed To
pay 800 down to close the bargain, and was
very particular in binding Mop. to keep the
farm in good order and the fences in good
repair until fall, at which time he was TO re-
ceive possession. The parties repaired TO
Butler to conclude their business. The stran-
ger presented check for $500 at one of the
Butler banks, but being stranger the bank
officials refused to cash il unless Endorsed by
some responsible patty. Unfortunately Mr..

With the increasing cost of fencing ma
terial it becomes more interesting question
to the farmer: How can | economically
build new and repair old fences? A western
man suggest the use Of sods, and writes: "ln
England and Ireland they have the "sod
fence" | have seen it in this country occa'
sonally, but | thiHk if our farmers knew its
practical merits we should see it ottener Only
dig two bitches two feet apart, three feet
wide and two feet deep; throw the dirt from
bitches on the space between, beat it down
till ii has some hardness, and give 1t enough
slant to prevent caving, and you have fence
for lifetilie, In most cases here we need
no turf or whin.bushes as they do, for in a
year the bank will be covered by luxuriant
growth OF black berry bushes, answering ev-
cry purpose. Even where timber is plenty
we can make this fence cheaper than almost
any other.-Phren0togacat Journal

WHY CATTLE REQUIRE SALT-We know
why the animal Graves salt and why it ulti
mately falls into disease if salt is for time
withheld Upward of half the saline matter
OF the bread on consists OF common salt
and as this is partly discharged every day
through the skin and kidneys, the necessity
Of continued supplies of it to the body be
comes sufficiently obvious The bile also
contains soda as special and indispensable
constituent, and so do all the carriages of the
body, Therefore, if the supply of salt be
stinted neither will the bile be able properly
to assist the digestion, nor the cartridges be
built up again as they naturally waste.
And when we consider 1t to be a fact that
without salt man would miserably PERISH as
among horrible punshmcnts entaiing certain
death that of feeding culprits on satless
food is SAID to have prevailed in barbarouS
times, we may becom partially convinced, at
least, of the necessity of feeding salt to our
stock-hat 1t is one of the necessaries as we'll
as one of the luxuries OF life for man and
beast; and it should be profusely provided
at short intervals, IN proper places, if it can
not be kept by them continually, so that each
and every animal may satisfy the demands of
his nature. Then it shall not be SAID OF us
that while our pudding is well seasoned and
sailed our stock are allowed to suffer for
want Of the same ingredient which is as
truly necessary for their food as for ours

How TO BURY RooTs.-There is one way
70 burying roots so that frost will not get al
them, and that is the placing of layes of straw
between the layers of earth with which they
are covered. II is necessary to be more care
full with potatoes than with other roots as
they will not stand the slightest frost wIthou,
being injured. Potatoes should be laid in
compact heaps and covered carefully with
straw. Over the straw put abou, eight inches
of earth, and over the earth a thick layer of
straw. Over all, put six or eight inches of
earth. Frost will go through almost any
thickness Of earth alone, but it will not pen
citrate far below the ncnconducting straw.
The earth should not be packed any harder
than will suffice to keep it in place. By u.s.
ing straw and earth combined, time is saved
IN uncovering when the roots are wanted to
be got at If the snow is blown from the
heaps during the winter, and the cold is very
intense, 1t Will be well to cover them with a
corting of coarse manure.

The Granger editor of the Farmer City
Journal had lengthy and able editorial in
astweek's issue upon the decline Of interest
in the subordinate oranges, which he attrb
utes to the large dues called for TO support
the state and national grange, for which there
seems to be no adequate return. The editor
advises subordinate oranges so cut loose from
the state and national organizations, lower
the initiation fees and dues TO moderate
sum and thus increase the membership.

The Rural Nep Yorker says the cause OF
most poor land and bad farming is that far
mers too often sell off all the valuable parts
of the Gro, and do not return enough to the
soil. Very good farmers sell the grain and
keep the straw to make manure. But man
urs made of straw is OF little value, either for
nitrogen or phosphates, and unless these are
supplied the soil must deterlorate. Clover
furnishes nitrogen, but the phosphates have
to come from some other source, generally by
purchasing commercial fertilizers.
