Protection of River Banks.

The preservation of banks along W est
crn and Southern rivers is of great
interest to thousands Of land owners
The communication below is reported
, to the Department Of Agriculture by
Mr.. :. H. Mather OF Washington
county. Ohio, near Marietta, and affords
a valuable hint both to farmers and
navigators:
Every wear the river cncroaChcs more
and more upon its banks, and
thousands of acres of valuable land are
annually lost. \ simple, practical method
of preventing abrasion has been tried by
Mr.. A. p. Sherman, which now, after
thirteen years, gives perfect satistac-
ton. Mr.. Shcrman'S land lies on point
in the river where the current cHerted
It's full strength, in washing away the
bnnk. Finding that it WAS washing
away 50 fast that his house was in dan
ger. he determined to prevent further
rucroarhmcnt. When the river was low
he set between the foot Of the bank and
the water. three rows of posts. ten feet
each WAY. Tn" posts were six inches
in diameter. seven or eight feet in length
and set in the ground five feet deep. He
then scattered brush between the posts,
care being taken in cutting and placing,
to make it compact rs possible. He
next pressed il down and confined II by
placing over it poles, crossing each other
at right angles. and pinning them to
the posts, The object of the brush was,
to form II lodging place for the earth
Z IN
retain the sediment deposited by the
water. After the next spring treshet had
subsidized the brush was covered with a
dcpo>itc of sand. In this he planted
willows thickly, and protected them from
the dcprcdations of cattle. He has never
since put any work on it Now he has
y regular grade from the top of the bank
10 low water, and the bank instead OF
washing away is gaining steadily every
wear For several years he has been
grtting hay from what was former! y
The naked beach. His river front Is
TWENTY-FIVE rod, in length. and he estl-
male, Tie cost Of the work at not more
than 800. For those who have the ma
tvriM on their own premises 1t, OF course
would be less.
1t Is more important that the bank of
the Ohio should be protected, from the fact
that the earth washed from them helps
To- form the bar, which are such obstruc-
tion, to its navigation; moreover, if
they were protected, the river would be
dcrpcned. The shoals of the great Kama
wha which were drcdged during the war,
have not vet filed ny, because the banks
are protected by the timber that has been
allowed to remain upon them If the
shoals Of the Ohio were to be dredged,
and it, banks protected AL along it,
cour,c. it would be many years before they
would fill up. In that case the govern
ncnt would be saved much of the eX-
pense which il /, annually mourning for
It's improvement, and many thousands OF
acres of valuable land would be re-
claimed.

Editors OF the Register:
We may conclude that winter is over
now from the several warm days that
have passed, and the second vista
ton of vegetation this spring, but we are
needing rain crymuch to push up the
grass. Our farmers are busily engaged
in planting corn, and seem to be getting
along as we'll as usually, Notwithstanding
the latcncss OF spring. The fruit Is all
KILLED or nearly so, but if nothing Injuries
the wheat. there will De more in the coun-
try than anticipated, after the ''cold
snap" Many OF our farmers have sown
their fields in oats, where the wheat was
killed.
We had thought that we would not
hear from that pest known as the "tater
hug after such a severe cold winter and
sprinc but 70 our surprise We see huge
"fcllprs" watching. and when Il young
,prout has veuturcd to come through the
ground it i prancrd upon by those pests
and dcvourcd.
Last week, while visiting on Roaring
creek, Randolph county, | took walk
to the famous rattlesnake den for the
purpose Of making war with them, but
came oil of the field disappointed, by
only helping to kill two snakes. Two
weeks before party of thirteen persons
killed forty-two at the same den, and
fo.,v.six during the day. Marshal Scott
nn,'3 five mt three shots, and another
-,.,l. tried I, fa.tcn It's faums in Mark
Carriers flesh, hut was unsuccessful. The
Whcelingitcs could not find better sport
than to resort to this place in the sprng
or fall, when they are laying in huge
nile, around their den, or while walking
through and over the shelyy rocks doz-
ems ot them are shaking their latter
ends" on either side of You, and bidding
defiance to all powers.

ally surrounded by fire, the flames shoot
ing up fully twclv" feet. The people at
once set to work to cNtinguish It. The
scene was terrible TO behold. Horses
neighed and whinned in their agony;
people screamed; men rushed backward
and forward, excited and anxious to rem
der Ass stance; brave men rushed through
the flames and cut the halter.straps OF the
ticd-up horses; the animals then hhdlhg
themselves loosened, ran away, dashlng
the carriages against the burning trees;
men with rakes and clubs and other srtlr
cleS set to work vigorously to beat out
the fire; women screamed. and stood IN
terror viewing scene that few people
are ever called upon 10 witness, and
above the noise and din of everything
could be heard the dvcing shrieks and
groans Of the poor horses and the pistol
shots sending bullets through the heads OF
the animals to kill those that were burn
cd almost to death | shall never forget
the sickening sight, and those that were
present were of the same opinion. All
was hurry and excitement. A high wind
prevailed, and heavy sparks desceL ded
hundreds of yards away. At one time
fears were entertained that the church
would be swept away in fiery element,
but the work of brave and determined
men spared the community from any
further calamity. 1t was terrible day
for Upper Bern, and saw men stand IN
tears viewing the suffering Of the dying
horses a. the flesh quivered with pain.
The scene that followed is beyond de-
scrIption. After the excitement was par
TALLY subdued, ! learned that the woods
had been accidently set on fire by gen
tleman who was lighting his cigar. A
lighted match fell from his hands. Dnr-
ing the excitement a gentleman named
Lurkcnbill, who was cutting the horses
loose in the woods, accIdcntly inflicted a
serious wound in his chest, which was
dressed by DR.. Pottciger, Of Hamburg.
