Making Hedge Fence.

In our travels over at least four of
our best prairie States of the West,we
have seen but little good hedge fence.
What farmers usually call hedge fences
are merely rows of hedge plants, stand
like young forests, shading the fields
and sapping the ground for rod or
two around. The larger it grows the
more worthless it is for fence mere
ly a barrier against cattle, but will not
turn small stock. You can make
good board fence out of good materi-
al, you can make good hedge fence
only out of suitable material. Now
you may stop here and ask what good
hedge material is, and we will answer:
stalks, or hedge row grown in nat
raj way:
l. All worthless plants should be
thrown away.
?. The Usage Orange plant is pc
culiar plant, taking more than two
years to mature or become fit for set
iiuS 1Ol lcuCC.
Set your plants regularly, putting in
nothing but good plants, and give them
proper care and cultivation.
When grown large enough, make or
lay them into fence. Make your pig
fence first, if you don't you will never
have it, which is called the foundation
of your fence, making this by bring
ing down to proper angle all the large
ends of the plants close to the bottom
and place the small brush on top, then
pou can properly trim the fence and
make it ornamental as well as good,
and do it with very little labor or ex-
pense, and your fence will turn the
least pig as well as the largest steer.
The base of your fence should occupy
less than one foot of ground, and the
roots of the plants be exposed to the
sun and air. Should you fail to get
the sun and air to the roots, you will |
soon observe the plants beginning to
thin out.
In conclusion permit me to say, we
are living in a progressive age, and |
that we believe in improvements on
fences as well as in other things, and |
by making good and ornamental fences
around our firms, we will be able 10
get from $500 to $1,000 per acre more
for them should we wish to sell.
Many say. 81 have my hedge fences
made" Those are the men we ale
talking to. Take away those insight
ly rows you have on your place, and
make fence properly, growing 1t in
a natural and careful manner, with an
eye to beauty as well as use.-KansGs

How to Raise Stock Proftably.

No question can come before the
American farmer that is more impor-
tant than this is. And yet we never
hear it discussed. We have discussion
after discussion about the cheapest
and best way to raise the various fruit
crops, and the various farm crops, and
much light has been shed on these
matters. But when it comes to the
most profitable methods of raising,
feeding and fattening stock, our stock
growers are silent as the grave. Now
and then an agricultural editor will
discuss some branch of the question,
perhaps, but the practical, experienced,
interested stock grower scarcely ever
tries any experiment or has anything
to say on the subject.
And why it is that the growers of
stock do not discuss questions like
this, we do not know. The growers
of fruit delight in enlightening the
public on the best methods of fruit
culture, the best varieties OF fruit, and
the best system of marketing them.
You can hardly pick up an agricultur-
al paper that has not one or more
communications ON these subjects.
The truth is, our breeders of stock
have got to awaken. A new interest
must be shown in the improved breeds
of stock, and in the improved meth
DDS, if any there be, of feeding and
caring for them. The real cost OF
raising and fattening steer for the
shambles must be ascertained, SO as
to know whether there is profit or
loss in the business. Whether it will
pay to feed certain amount of meal
to each head in summer time when at
pasture, must be ascertained. Wheth-
or ii is better to raise grass and make
hay and harvest and feed it to young
cattle that are going 10 be raised for
beef, or to prepare winter pasturage
for them and let them mainly feed
themselves, should be known. Wheth-
err to feed grain ground, or unground,
cooked or uncooked, is an inquiry OF
the greatest importance. AT what age |
it is most profitable TO sell cattle for
beef, for milk, for butter, for cheese
and for all or any of these purposes
combined, ought to be definitely
known.
Now, If we could get our intelligent
stock men TO tackle these questions,
discuss them pro and con, with sharp
ness and vigor, much light might be
shed. And we appeal to them to
write upon these m stters.-C olman's

Pruning Timber Trees.

Ii is important that timber trees
have long and straight body. Fol
this purpose they should be pruned in
the fall as soon as the leaves fall. And
the limbs should be taken off for at
least two-thirds of the height of the
tree. Limbs, aud especially old dry
ones, seriously mar, and even destroy
the tree for all timber purposes. II
pruned off carefully, the wound heals
over solid, and is then good for tim
Der. If the lower limbs are left on,
they die, and the dry stubs lead the
water into the tree, where it creates
rotten places, difficult knots, and
eventually kills the tree by continued
decay at the heart. Trim forest trees
carefully and thoroughly at seasons
when they will not bleed sap.--Iora
Stute Register.

Manure.

Comparatively speaking, there has
been little pains taken in Kansas TO
enrich the soil. Our land has been so
productive hitherto that farmers have
not, as general rule, applied much
manure to their fields, gardens or or
chards. But the time is coming, nay,
has come, when the application of ma
nure will richly repay the farmer for
his trouble and expense of transport
ing it from his barn-yard to his fields.
1t will cost, say fifty cents a cord, to
spread 1t on his corn land, and every
cord judiciously distributed would
increase the product, at a moderate es-
mate, to the amount of four bushels
If this estimate is correct, ii would
be labor probably applied to keep the
stock yard and the premises round the
barn and house well cleaned out of ev.
cry particle of manure and rubbish
which could be seraped up.
There are various deposits around
almost every farm house, of ashes
chips and refuse matter which if placed
around the trees of the orchard would
cause them 10 put on dress of darker
foliage and stimulate them to boun-
tiful fruitage. The early part of win
ter is a good season for carting out,
spreading and blowing in ell the ma
nure that can be gathered up; and the
next season viii show a large credit
Oh the balance sheet of the farmer, due
to this process of enriching his land.

Care Of Farm Tools.

We believe that there is no exaggera-
ton in affirming that in the course of
years the farmer sustains as much loss
in the decay and injury of his farming
utensils, by their needless exposure to
the weather during the season they
are net in use, as be does from the ac-
tual wear of them ON the farm. The
wagon, the moving machine, the har-
ness, the plow, with the whole cata-
logue eff minor tools and implements,
we are convinced by actual obser, a.
ton, suffer more from the influence OF
the sun and shrinking and cracking,
and in the decay caused by exposure
to the wet when not in use, than they
would be if kept constantly employed
in the work for which they were de-
signed The cost of a suitable wagon
and tool house would not equal the
loss occasioned on many farms by the
careless exposure of the farm tools in
three years. The thrifty farmer Gill
see to it that his farming implements
are well sheltered when not in use.
The good care of tools is an economy
which always and everywhere pays

Protecting Raspberries.

We have several inquiries from am
ateurs as TO whether all raspberries re-
quire winter protection. We answer.
certainly not, though we believe that
they will produce better fruit and
more of it if all are laid down and COW
cred with few inches of earth. The
Clarke, the Philadelphia, the Early
Purple, the common red, the wild
blackcaps, the Allen, the Catawissa,
the Herstine, and generally the Hud-
son River Antwerp, do not require
laying down. The Hornet, Brinckle's
Orange, and Eastolff do, never mind
what the books tell you. AS we have
often said before, the Catawissa is
principally valued for its second crop;
and in order to get this to its utmost
extent, cut down this years canes in
the ground next month, and cover the
stalks with good coat of manure. In
the spring fork this in, and you will
have raspberries from the goth of Au-
gust to the end of October generally,
of a quality which all ought to enjoy,
as this variety is the true representa-
tive in flavor of the family Wilkes-
barre Record.

A Grange is an organized co-opera.
tive society and is, or ought to be, a
all times. in complete running order
Its object is the benefit ofits members
intellectually, physically, morally and
pecuniarily. How best to accomplish
the desired object and reap the full
benefit Of cooperation should be the
constant study of each and every
member.
We take it for granted that no Pa.
tron of Husbandry is SO stupid as TO
believe that he or she can realize any
very decided benefit simply by joining
the Grange and paving the monthly
dues. Joining the Grange is simply
placing ones self in position where.
by earnest and well directed effort,
greater good can be accomplished
than by the most persistent individu-
al endeavors. The monthly dues can
only be regarded as contribution for
incidental expenses and eau form no
part of the cash capital required for
the accomplishments of the real objects
of the society.
In this article we wish to point out
a single way in which every Grange,
no matter where located. can, by CO.
operation, decidedly benefit every one
of its members. We have told the
story many times, in various ways,
but it will bear repeating and must be
repeated from time to time, till the
full measure of good, sought for by
the Order, is attained.
Every Grange should, at once, assess
its members and raise Sufficient sum
to purchase thoroughbred bull, ram
and boar These three males should
be procured without delay. They will
be property of the Grange and be used
for the benefit of its members only.
The expense, per capita, will be small.
Two hundred and fifty dollars will
buy superior animals and five hun
dred will procure first-class. If the
Grange has large membership, a
stallion may be added to the list, and
the great work of stock improvement
will begin.
There is more money and less labor
in stock than in anything available to
the farmer. The scrubs which are
everywhere seen, are of little value,
but every year, with proper crossing,
their value can be increased in almost
geometrical proportion. The climate,
range, water and markets, of the
south are peculiarly adapted to this
industry and it should Immediately |
take front rank among our resources
aud will do so, if the suggestions we
have made are adopted by any consid-
cradle number of our Oranges.
Let the improvement begin now.
Do not wait till next year or any peri
od more remote. Every day daisy de-
ay is money lost. The plan is entire
y feasible and requires no great skill
Dr. experience TO accomplish the inau-
curative movement. Common sense
md generous supply of money will
tart the interested parties on the road
% real prosperity.-Son Of the Soil
