DERBY LINE.
Some amusement was caused at Derby

a trick upon a certain fish peddler, who
had gained an unenviable notoriety fol-
his pressing attentions to females, on
one occasion having nearly torn the
clothing from a girl whom he had en-.
ticed to ride with him, before she coulC
get away from him. Recently he haC
pursued a young woman with frequen
invitations to ride, who finally by the
advice of others, consented to ride will
him on the above mentioned night
When the proper time arrived, he pro

After riding a short distance and finding
his companion rather taciturn, he man
aged to get view of his fair cOmpan

prise, he found she had developed
black moustache since he had befor
seen her. An explanation ensued whicl
showed that some ladies had dressed u
young man in women's toys for thi
occasion only. The chop-fallen gallan
was met with such storm of ridicul

WhiteyRsh fol Outbuildings.

The following is from the proceedings Of
the New York Farmers Club: The Char
man said that in response to an inquiry fol
the best whitewash for barns and OutbuIldIngS
he had received the following: Take bush
el of well-burned lime, white and unslacked
twenty pounds of Spanish whiting, seventeen
pounds OF rock SALT and twelve pounds OF
brown sugar. Slack the lime and sift ou
any coarse Jumps and mix it into good
whiiewash, with about forty gallons of water
and then add the other ingredients and s,il
the whole together thoroughly, and put or
two or three coats with common brush To
make cream color add to the above tbre,
pounds of yellow ochre; fawn color -four
pounds umber one pound Indian red, and
one of lampblack if gray or stone color IS
wanted add four pounds of raw lumber and
two of lampblack. Dr. Smith said that he
was of the opinion that sugar was of no ser
vice in the making of whitewash 1t was
nonsensical to use it in such mixture, as |,
would dc no good and Its use would be sim
ply waste of money. The rock salt men
toned he supposed was coarse salt. lie
could not say whether or not the latter would
improve the mixture. Mr.. Ely said that he
had found In his experience that tallow was
good ingredient for whitewasb, but DR.
Smith did not agree with him, as he thought
that tallow would not mix we'll with lime.

Why is it, when growing wheat or rye is
being struck with rust, that little plot here
and there where stumps, logs or brush have
been burned to ashes, will be bright and free
from the attack of rust Because the grow
ing plants employ potash and silica not only
to give stiffness and rigldity to the straw, but
to form, as 1t were, CLASSY coat of mail over
the surface of every leaf, CLONE and straw,
to fortify the tender delicate parts against the
attacks of spores that are floating in the at
mosphere. We all know how readily sub
stances in the atmosphere are turned away
when they come In contact with CLASSY sur
face. Potash and sand are the essential ele-
ments of glass. The roots of growing plants
have the power to employ the sharpest sand
and potash to form thin, elastic, glossy COW
ering which is spread over the surface to ex-
clude moisture and to repel and attacks of
fungus Practical Farmer.

With the increasing cost Of fencing mate.
rial it becomes more interesting question
to The farmer: How can | economically
build new and repair old fences? A Western
nan suggest the use of sods, and writes: "In
England and Ireland they have the "sod
fence" I have seen it in this country Occa-
sionaily, but think If our farmers knew Its
practical merits we should see it oftener.
Only dig two bitches two feet apart, three
feet wide and two feet deep; throw the dirt
from bitches on the space between, beat il
down TIL it has some hardness, and give il
enough slant to prevent "caving," ana you
have fence for "A lifetime. In most cases
here we need no turf or "whin.bushes" as
they do, for IN year the bank will be cover
ed by luxuriant growth of black. berry
bushes, answering every purpose Even
where timber IS plenty we can make this
fence cheaper than almost any other.-Phrea-

NEW KIND OF SPINACH.-Sevcral years
ago new kind of spinach was introduced
into England, under the name of Australian
Spinach (ChenopOdium nurieonium), which
according TO the unanimous opinion Of con
noisseurs must be regarded as valuable nc
aulsitien. 1t is perennial, very hardy
reaches height of six inches, and affords j
large quantity of tender leaves, which are
soon reproduced after plucklng. Its flavor
is similar to that of common spinach, but moi
so grassy nor 50 harsh, and, in general, finer
1t is best prepared by throwing the leaves into
boiling water, and after pouring this off
cooking it as usual. Its cultivation is simple
The seed may be sown in hot.bed in March
for subsequent transplanting, or in the open
ground in April or Nav.

The results OF single top.dressing on eight
plots Of nearly half an acre each OF sandy,
warm soil of our State Agricultural College
farm exhibited the following facts at the end
of three years: The top.dressing was applied
IN 1864 and the grass was cut twice each sea-
son in 1864 and 1865 and once in 1856. The
produce of each cutting and OF each lot was
weighed separately and perfect record kept
The results for the four seasons were as fol
lows: On the plot to which no manure or
fertilizer was applied the total weight of hay
yielded per acre was $40 pounds. Where
two bushels Of plaster per acre were applied
the yield per acre was 1926 pounds, gain
asa pounds Where five bushels Of wood
ashes were applied the yield per acre was 12,
907 pounds, a gain Of 4,1G5 pounds Where
three bushels of salt were scwn per acre the
yield was 1860 pounds, gain per acre of
1927 pounds. Where twenty loads of muck
per acre were land on the yield per acre was
1886 pounds, a gain of 1924 pounds. Where
twenty loads of horse manure were laid on
the yield was 1866 pounds, "A gam of 1894
pounds. These are results which indicate
that there are fertilizers which will produce
as good results as plaster For instance, the
plaster yielded gain of 81 per cent, while
the horse manure gave an increase of II per
cent, or nearly ton more grass per acre In

To PRESERVE AUTUMN LEAVEs.-Firs
gather the leaves from the trees just rs they
are ready to fall or as soon as possible after
they have fallen; press them Immediately
for week or more until they are perfectly
dry. Get half a pound of yellow beeswax
put in TIN vessel, and place the vessel in q
spider containing little water, which mus
be kept constantly boiling on the top of the
stove over steady fire. Take each leaf by
the stem and dip into the hot wax. Once
dipping is usually sufficient If the WAX
gathers on the edges, touch the places light
~ with the hot tin. The leaves dry instantly
and all the bright, natural colors are preserv
ed, ana will remain for az year by piercing
