The Difference.

One day last week we met Mr.. J. Z. Campbell,
Of Hesper, (Uncle John, as he is more famliarly
called,) coming into town with load of fat hogs.
We thought we would ask Mr.. Campbell a few
questions. So after he had unlOaded his pork
we asked him if he had few moments to an
swer questions. He said he would spare n little
time, and here is what followed: "Mr. Camp
bell, did you raise the corn to fatten those hogs
this yearf" Ans. 81 did" GLOW many hogs
did you fatten this yearf' 81 fattened forty,
and have forty more to keep over, also have sew
enty head of horses, mules and cattle, and Thirty
sheep, and have plenty of corn, when n large ma
jOrity of our farmers raised none at ALL" Ser
tainly: in the first place, plOwed my ground
by the middle of April, then when plowed my
corn did not scratch over the top of the ground
but put my plows as deep into the ground as
could get them, and the consequence was my
corn grew rapidly and was matured before the
grasshoppers got here. l tried an experiment
this year on four acres. / first plowed the
ground, deep as said before, then took an old
subsoil plOw that was worn ont and welded
shovel on to the point of it, then hitched four
good mules on and let her into the ground fifteen
inches, and marked out the four acres in that
way, then planted to corn and tended WELL and
the consequences was, had more and better
corn on that four acres than neighbOr did Just
across the fence on thirty-two acres"
Have you paid your taxes yet, Mr.. Campbell
'Yes, six weeks since, and got the benefit of Eve
Der cent. rebate" "What did you sell to get the
money withf 81 sold wool, payed my taxes and
had money left"
We publish the above in hopes that it may be
beneficial to the farmers of our State. Mr. Camp
bell is well known by nearly every one in Dong
las County. He lives about twelve miles south
east of Lawrence, and his farm shows its owner
is q thrifty man. He has good stone house,
aud a large stone barn, and all his hedges are
kept well trimmed, and he is surrounded with
not only the comforts, but some of the luxuries
of life.-SpiTit Of Kansas.

The Law of Fences.

often notice apparently conflicting decisions
of learned judges in regard to "the law of fences
and it looks very odd to young post -bellum far
mer in this re- constructed Dominion that as in.
animate and harmless thing as a fence should
need any legislation at all, either as re-
CARDS the height to which it should grow, or the
kind of material of which it should consist.
Here in Virginia we have, worry wisely, | think
changed all that. As the war left no fences i'm
many sections, we have done away with all leg
islation in regard to them, and now simply re-
quire every man to be responsible for the keen
ing and good behavior of his own animals, from
children to Chickens and liable to pay for all
trespasses Every man is at liberty to build fen
ees around his crops or not, as he chooses but is
compelled to see that his cattle do no injury to
his neighbOrs As consequence, any poor freed
man can rent or purchase land in any section as
destitute Of fences as of fencing material and set
in to farming with entire protection from his
neighbors' cattle The complicated laws about
fences are as obsolete as those about slavery
And why should they mott Doesnot common law
and common sense say let every man raise what
ever animals he chooses, but make him RESPONSE
bic for their restraints, either in fences or cages
Would such laws simplify matters very much.
and save a vast amount of expense and litiga-
tion to the farmers, to say nothing of the eo1a-
ninty 1t would afford the judicial minds of the
country, so often perplexed abont the "law of
fences" The agricultural interests demand a
new departure from the old fence law system
winch did well enough fifty years ago, but which
suoulu now become obsolete. Ii is my opiuion |
FORMED irom experience, that nothing would |
give greater impetus TO the agricultural in |
terrsts OF the country than the doing away with
all laws in regard to fences let fhe harmless |
crops have tull, free breath, and reouire every

all his animals, from the pet lamb to the sbsen

To PREPARE HEATHEEs FOR USE.-AIake bags
of coarse unbleacled elOth-one to contain the
geese and ducks feathers, aud the others fer
chickens and turkeys feathers. When plucking
the poultry, cut off the wings first and if not
needed for busters, strip of the feathers from
the parts nearest the body. and then peel of the
fcathery parts from the quill, but take care that
no skin or flesh atlheres to any of the feathers
Pat the bags into brick oven, if you are the

duck feathers make the best beds, but the mixed
feathers do well for cushions. If any of the skin

mountable objection to their use; but if, after a

Old Bob Hilton was one of the hardest case
that ever existed in Georgia or anywhere else
He excelled in only two things-in the frequency
of his sprees and the number of scrapes they led
him into. Bob had brother whose name wa.
Peter, called by his friends Pete. Pete was a tall
specimen of the gems homo, standing about six
feet two in his stockings. He was very far from
being Julius Cesar IN point of bravery; but
where there was no danger no man could talk
louder, or come to blood and thunder on a larger
scale. One day during a court week, Bob as us
ua became decidedly tight, or, in Georgia dialect
Slightly inteTrogated." Getting rather quarrel
some, some psfson had presented him with a beam
tifrl black eye, stretching him out on the floor.
Pete heard of il, and understanding that the gen
tleman who bad been kind enough to give Bob
the floor had left, ,-he started up, and putting on
feroeiOus countenance, exclaimed: "Who
strnck my brother Bobf' No one answered. for
all were too busy talking for themselves "Wbo
struck my brother Bob! Z" he cried the third time
working himself into perfect fury and stalking
about the piazza of the grocery as if he did moi
fear any one. He felt convinced that no one
wonld take up the matter but the striker him
self; and he was not in the vicinity, he was
not afraid, not he. lie was, however, doomed to
disappointment, for just as lie yelled ont the ter

THE DEBT AND CREDIT ACCoU,T.

No one can pursue business intelligently and
prchtably without careful debt and credit ae-
count. With these accounts carefully kept the
farmer can by yearly balances see Just what he
is doing If the account is too heavy ON the
debt side, the farmer can see just where he is
tending, and viii by this information be infiu-
enced to take a new tack, and recover himself
before he has gone too far.
Now, January will be here, and we advise
all who have not done 70 before to open an ac-
count with the farm and its operations Here
are the items that should be
CHARGED AGAINST THE FARM:
Interest on the capital invested, at the usual
rate, 10 per cent.
Tho taxes.
The depreciation in value from exhaustion.
The interest un the capital invested in imple-
meuts farm machinery and the stock employed
to work the farm.
The depreciation in value of these from use.
This item can he estimated by the average length
of time these articles last by good usage.
The value of manures and seeds, and of the
materials for repairs and improvements.
The interest on these until returns are had on
The cost Of all labor, both Of the owner and
his hired help, at the rate he pays for help.
The actual cost of board for his hired help.
All female labor employed in the production
of butter, cheese, etc.
CREDIT THE Farm WITH:
All its products, both that sold aud that con-
sumed by the family.
The enhanced market value of the farm.
Permanent improvements.
The rent of the Dwelling house.
We can not too strongly urge the importance
of q knowledge of Just how our affairs are going.
If the facts, which will be brought in these ac-
counts each year, show that We are on the down
grade, We shall be prompted to call a halt, and
to begin earnest inquiry as to what we should do
If it should be found by comparing notes with
our neighbOrs that exclusive corn growing was
the cause of our trouble we should take q new
tack. lfi should prove to be an attempt to
grow wheat, OF any other special crop that caus-
ed the failure, We should cast about to see just
what our farms, and our locations to markets,
require that We should do.
Friends, we repeat again what we have often
said in the Farmer information about our bus
iness and upon kindred topics, lies at the bottom
of success. Success was never secured without
it. except in rare cases of force of circumstances.
We must, above all, have reliable information
about our business affairs, and how can we have
it, except We carefully collatc it, and compare it,
and weigh itf
Open your account on the LIST of January, keep
the items. 1t will prompt you to look carefully
after the little details, and save much that is
now wasted

DRESSING BLACK HOGS.-A corresnopda,t of
the Michigan Farmer says: The princinaI Oh
lection to the Essex and Berkshire breed of bogs
l find TO be their color. Now, as Youatt inst7v
observes, this is not ''skn deep" The coIorinS
matter will be found to be secreted between the
trne skin and the epidermls, CT outer skin. If
care be taken in scalding black hogs, they can
be dressed as white as any white hog. Ii is n
well known principle that all black Substances
absorb heat. Hence, in dressing black hogs the
water should not be so hot as in scalding white
ones If this simple rule be observed, there will
be no difficulty in dressing black hogs Instead
of this color being an objection, consider it an
advantage, for the skin Of black hog will al
ways be found to be smooth and glossy free from
cutaneous eruptions, and always clean.

Every person should know how to treat flesh
wound, because one is liable to be placed in cir
cumstances away from surgical or veterinary aid
where he may save his own life, the life of a

lips of the wound with hands, and hold them

THINKING TwICE-A strict father strove To
impress upon his children the importance of
thinking twice before speaking once. His old
est son, William, was one day walking past his
fathers stable, when the hostler called him in
and told him to run home quickly aud tell his
iather 10 come to the stable immediately, as one
of his horses was dying. He went home. and
seeing his father, said, very slowly: Father
think once About five minutes afterward he
added: father, think twice; one of your hors-
es is dying" Now that boy wished to be smart ;
and his father made him smart very rapidly, half
an-hour later, on discovering that his horse was
dead. He tanned the rearpart of Williams pan
falcons so vigorously with shnglc that he boy
has since been taking his meals in an erect posi-
tiun.

OLD Ira Thornton was q dreadfully mean man.
and had difficulty, sometimes, in drawing his
breath, because he begrudged the air necessary
for that operation. One day the old fellow was
at work upon the high beams of his barn, when
he lost his balance and fell heavily upon the
floor, twenty feet below; he was taken up for
dead, with fractured skull and carried int,J the
house. All efforts to bring him to consciousness
were nnayailing, and the doctor was called. Fl
nally, the doctor having trepanned him. turned
and asked Mrs. Thornton for silver dollar TO

AN ALTAR-ATIoN.

When Pat was counting Archie Mil,
He begged-as lovers often will
In accents softly spoken,
That she one lock Of brindls hair,
From her fair head to him would spare,
By way Of a love token.
Now Pat and Archie are man and wife.
Their counting turned to marriage strife,
And sad difference makes it:
Though still attracted by her hair.
He ne'er BOW begs a lock shel spare,
But out in handfulls takes il.
