Sod Fences.

With the increasing cost of fencing
material, it becomes a more interesting
question to farmers how they can ecos
nomically build new and repair old
fences. A Western man suggests the use
of sods and writes: In England and Tres
land they have the sod fence. l have
seen tin this country occasionally, but
think if our farmers knew its practical
merits.we would see it--oftener. Only
dig two bitches two feet apart, three feet
wide and two feet deep; throw the dirt
from bitches between, beat down until it
has some hardness, and give it enough
slant to prevent caying, and you have a
fence for lifetime.
In most cases here we need no turf or
twin bushes as they do, for in year
the bank will be covered with luxuriant
growth of blackberry bushes, answering
every purpose. Even where timber is
plenty, we can make this fence cheaper
than almost any other.

| meath the foot of horse IS designed to
subserve the same purpose. But the
manner in which most horses are shod
lifts them up, as it were, on short stilts,
so that the frog cannot perform its appro-
pirate functions.
If @e look carefully at the young
horse when he is trotting or running, it
will be perceived that every foot Is
brought down to the ground in such a
manner that the frog receives the pow~
erful blow. By this means all injury to
the animal is prevented. Science teaches
US to permit the frog to develop and ex-
tend downward. But most bIacksmiths
seem to think that the AllwIse Creator
made a mistake when he formed the hoof
of horses. Hence, they FILL at the frog
with red hot burning irons, with edge
tools, and with any other appliance that
will enable them to remove this extras
neous excrescene. IIlustrious ninnies

Facts About shoeing HORSES.

AS the number of men who are compe~
tent to shoe horse correctly is so anna
zingly small, and as horse shoeing is a
q science barely in infancy as yet, any
facts hat will elucidate this important
subject will be hailed with immense sat-
isfaetion by every one who is friend to
this noblest Of all domestic animals-the
horse. Whoever las made himself "a
miliar with the anatomy of the horse.
does not need to be told that the prevail
ing manner of shoeing them is ruinous
to the natural form of the hoof, always
tending to incalculable injury to the
horse, thus depreciating the market
value. Most of the horse shoers Of the
country prepare the foot, fit a shoe, and
secure it to the hoof in the same manner
that wood butcher fits shoe to an old
wood ox-sled. The mechanism of a
horses hoof is one Of the most wonder
full and ingenious structures that can be
found in all the works of the Creator
Beneath and in the rear of every hoof
there is frog, which is a tough and
elastic pad for preventing injury to the
animal whenever he plants his foot sud-
denly on any hard Substance. Large
rolls Of cylinders of india rubber are
placed beneath railroad cars to prevent
injury to any part Of the car or the cargo

this little valley flowed a tiny brook
which bore away to the Connecticut
river the surplus rain water and ill-spared
soil, the loss of the latter causing the
rock surface to spread out wider year by

and with a match cover both edges of the
articles with it. Press the pieces firmly
together, and cover the outside with a
piece of narrow white tape besmeared on
one side with the white lead, which will
cause it to adhere closely to the dish:
Press it down perfectly smooth, and tie
the pieces together with a cord. In two

mented, and will never break apart in
the same place.

A Cure for Gravel.

DR.. Streeter, of Santa Barbara, tells
the atlas that the worst case of gravel
may be cured, the deposit dissolved and
passed away, by using the water in
which potatoes have been boiled to pies
ces; strain the water, sweeten to taste,
and drink for two or three weeks. This
is a painless cure. The same authority
states Turing or coating on the inside of
steam boilers may be easily removed,
making the surface appear ike new iron,
by placing quantity Of raw potatoes in
the boiler and letting them boil to pieces
After two or three days open the man~
holes and q sandy deposit will be found ;
brush it out and the boiler will be as good
as new.

Fences a Burden to the Farmer.

We have more than once expressed
our faith in the Order of the patrons
of Husbandry," and our belief that it
will inaugurate a new era in agricultural
history and lift the nursing mother of
all the arts to the exalted position
among the industries of the world which
is her undoubted right. Our expressed
sympathy with the Order entities US,
we think, to submit to its most earnest
consideration the question of farm inclo>

agricultural interest than all the taxation

an unwise and too often corrupt legisp
lature Without obtruding any argus
ments or reasoning of our own, we sims
ply submit the following statement de
rived from authorities which have always
commanded the highest respect Mr..

hundred millions), and their annual ex>
ponse he estimated at SI0,O00,O0O (ten
millions) a distinguished writer on
national wealth says Strange as it
may seem, the greatest investment in
this country, the most costly production
OF human industry, is the common
fences which inclose and divide the
fields. No man dreams that when cons
pared to the outlay on these unpretend-
ing monuments Of human arts, our cities
and our towns, with all thier wealth, are
far behind In many places the fences
have cost more than the farm is worth. 1t
is this enOrn Gus burden which keeps
down the agricultural interest of this
country, causing an untold expenditure,
besides the loss of the land the fences
occupy.-Itsrf, Field and Farm.

Airing Bed Rooms.

The most delicate looking, sick>sm ell
ing, and every way repulsive room in
most houses in cold weather is the cold
unVentiiated bedroom. The prevalent
notion is, that if it is cold, it does not
need ventilation; and the next thing is
to caulk up the windows. so that they do
not get opened by any chance. This is
all wrsng. Other things being equal,
cold air is more inyigorating than warm
air, because more condensed, and there
fore cold air in the bedroom is to be
preferred during the night. It is also
true that cold airdmay be impure and
warm rooms need ventilation even in
winter If the room is warm, the air
being colder than in warm sweather,
rushes in more eagerly, and we feel il
more keenly, and that misleads US to
think that we need not take care to ven~
tilate rooms in cold weather. ALI this
being true, a fire in the bed room helps
the ventilation, especially an open fire,
and it is well enough to take the chill off
the air and bedding every evening. 1t
may be kept going all night, provided
you have some window or ventilation
open. If you have not been accustomed
to sleep with the window open, begin
with a very small opening, and then
gradually increase it, but do not let the
wind blow directly on you. If you feel
it and cannot avoid it, turn your face TO
it. In the morning, just as you are va
eating the bedroom, throw it open, and
all the more if there has been no fire
in it.
