l notice many farms OF from fifty 10
two hundred acres, upon which the
matter OF fences must be about as much
an encumbrance as would be heavy
mortgage. Indeed, | have sometimes
thought that the removal of at least one
half the fences upon these farms, would
be one good step towards removing the
bebts under which some of our most in
dustrious and hardworking farmers are
laboring Not only this, bnt it would
also tighten the demand that i. constant.
being made upon their time and pa.
tience to repair fences. Dividing q rarm
all up into fields of from one to five
acres, seems 10 me to be useless. Good
line fences are generally a necessity.
But after that. fences to inclose pasture
land ought TO about end the fence mat
ter. Ot course, circumstances NAV re-
quiie few extra fences, as about a gar.
den, orchard. 6c., yet think many of
the inside fences might be dispensed
with TO great advantage.-Cor. Germ.

boards, worth perhaps sixty ceuts, to
make each gate. Add to that ten cents
for nails, and the value of one hour of
your time, and you have the whole ex-
pense. A gate of this kind will outlive
framed one costing -, and - no
hinges are used, that expense is saved
also. 1t is held in position by means Of
stake driven in the ground four or five
inches from the post; not in straight
line, but little more than She thickness
of the gate toward the driveway, SO that
when opened the gate can be turned
halt way around and be parallel with
the driveway. IL is kept few inches
from the ground bv strip nailed 10 both
stake and post, on which one end rests
when shut, and on which it slides half
its length and then swings round as on
pivot when opened. The strip is usu-
allv placed under the second board, In
space arranged for il, by cutting away
two of the battens. This strip takes the
place of hinges. A gate OF this kind
can be made in much less time and at
as little expense as pair of bars, and is
certainly much more convenient.

Orchard Planting.

February and March are good months
in which to set out fruit and other trees.
when the ground is not frozen. The
holes should be dug in the autumn or
winter, so that the ground may be
heayed, crumbled and mellowed BY re-
peated freezing and thawing They
should be made large. The writer has
had the holes generally dug five feet
square and eighteen inches deep, and
before setting the trees shoyelled in sur
face soil, 50 as 10 fill them about twelve
inches. The trees, instead Of being
grubbed up with little root, as many do,
should be taken up with as much root
as you can get. Do not spare labor in
this, and the additional growth of the
trees, and earlier bearing, will amply
reimburse the additional expense. The
small roOtlets should not be permitted
TO dry, nor TO freeze. When setting the
trees, be sure that the holes are amply
large 10 accommodate the roots in their
natural positions, without cramping or
bending. Then threw some water on
the roots, scatter fine earth of the soil
on them, shake the tree up and down
slightly, to settle the earth well among
them, repeatedly, then throw on more
earth and tread it down.-Then wet the
earth, secure the tree to stake, if it be
deemed necessary, TO prevent the wind
from affecting its vertical position, and
the tree will grow well. The writer has,
from boyhood, been accustomed TO sci
trees in the manner indicated, aud rarely
has lie had one tail to live and grow
well. Fruit trees set rs above in broad
holes, with little curtailment OF the nat
ural roots, Will come into bearing some
years sooner in stiff soils, than when set
as they often are, in small holes with lit
tie root. The earth should not be disied
around The tree so as TO permit water to
accumulate around it, nor supersaturate
the earth beneath Farmers Home

Whipping Eo,ses.

Prof. Wagner. in writing upon this
subject, says: Many think they are do
ing finely, aud are proud of their success
in horse-training, by means OF severe
whipping, or otherwise arousing aud
stimulating the passions, and then
through necessity crushing the will
through which the resistance is prompt
ed No mistake can be greater than
this, and there is nothing that 20 fully
exhibits the ability, judgement and skill
of the real horseflsn, as the care dis
PLAYED in winning instead of repelling
the action of the mind. Although it
NAV be necessary to use the whip some
times, it should always be applied ju-
diciously, and great care should be TAX
en- not 10 arouse the passions or excite
the will to obstinacy. The legitimate
and proper use OF the whip is calculated
10 operate upon the sense of fear almost
entirely. The afiectionatc and better
nature must be appealed TO in trsining
horse as well as IN training IL child. A
reproot given may be intended for the
good of the child, but il only the pas
-ions are excited, The object j, dcprav-
iu- ard injurious. This j. ayiiai prin-
cipie, and can be di,regarded in the
management OF sensitive and courageous
horses only at The risk OF spelling item.
have known many horses of nstur-
ally geutle character to be spoiled by
whipping once, and one horse that was
made vicious by being struck with
whip once while standing in his stall.

Farm Fences.

In some soils, immediately after a
heavy rain that Las made the ground
soft, posts may be driven into the ground
sufficiently deep with beetle, and thus
save great deal OF labor IN digging
post-holes. Read the following: Il had
secured split oak posts at cost of ten
cents, delivered. These were sharpened,
and calculated that the chips and hew-
ings pay for this work. After the posts
were sharpened and placed on the lire
of the proposed fence, stakes were set
firmly on the line, fifty feet apart, and
two lines drawn, one at the bottom and
top of the posts. With BiBe-fect meas
ure we proceeded to lay off the place /,
for the posts, sticking down pegs foot
long. With a sharp spade, hand fol-
lowed and took of the sod. and also re-
moved the earth one spade deep. | fol
lowed with An iron bar, round and sharp
at the lower end, but enlarged upward
until fifteen inches from the point, il i
lOul lnOiCc uiduIctcE. w llu iIlls
strument man may make the holes
very rapidly. After making the holes
for five or six rods we set the posts A
strong bench was made about the hight
of a table, having a cleat nailed to the
legs on each side for step. Armed
with beetle, one man mounted this
bench while the other held the post, and
il was sent to its abiding place quicker
than / can describe the operation" !"
When a cheap fence is wanted about
tour and half feet high or little high
er, the lower board may be put on Is
inches from the ground if heavy plow
be run On each side to throw up the
earth about foot under the fence.-Ex.
