The Cost of Fencing.

The fences in the United States
are reported to be worth 81, 800"
100000, or Si5 per head fo- each
inhabitant. The expenses necessary
to keep them good is at least S1OO,-
100000. Major Brisbane, Of the
United States army, estimates tine
destruction of timber in the United
States at SIS, 800 900 acres, and that
one-half this immense area is required
for fencing alone. However true
this may be, and We cannot help
regarding it as u wild statement, it
is nevertheless true that fencing is
one of the most expensive items the
farmer has to deal with. The in
creasing scarcity of timber in the
West has caused the total abolish"
me%t of fences over large areas.
Barbed wire, in its various forms for
fencing, now constitutes an immense
and constantly increasing business.
1t seems to be the best substitute
yet found for either post and-rail
or board fences.

The National Timber Law.

The requirements Of an act of
Congress giving land to settlers who
should plant certain proportion in
timber, have been modified by an
amendment reducing the number of
acres to be planted. The original
law required that forty acres should
be planted to cn,i.le q settler to a
quarter section. The amount was
so great that the law was inopera-
tive, and has been amended as fol-
lows: Every person who plants,
protects, and keeps in healthy
growing condition for ten years, ten
acres of timber, the trees thereon
not being more than four feet apart
each way, on any quarter section Of
any of the public lands, shall be en-
titled 10 a patent for the whole of
such quarter section, at the expira-
ton of ten years, on making proof
Of such fact by not less than two
creditable witnesses ; provided, that
only one quarter in any section
shall be thus granted" This would
require the planting Of $4,000 trees.
Within ten years these would need
thinning, and there should be pro-
vision Tor that.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
IL matters little if dark or fair
Whole souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where earth fires grow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words,
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work in earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment, the lons day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries 10 and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God wills so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens Of homely care,
With patient grace aud daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless,
Silent rivers of happiness
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.
Beautiful twilight at set of sun;
Beautiful goal, with race well run;
Beautiful rest, with work well done,
Beautiful graves, where grasses creep,
Whore brown leaves fall, where drifts llo
deep.
Over uorn-out hands-oh, beautiful sleep !.

Blind Staggers in Swine.

Hogs, like horses, are subject to
blind staggers. They are suddenly
taken blind and staggering, and in a
short time 90 into spasms, especially
if it be sever case Of the disease.
These spasms or fits last but short
time only, but recur at short inter
vals, and in che of these fits the suf-
ferer usually dies. This disease
makes sure havoc among swine
where it prevails, and no farmer
should be ignorant of a remedy to
apply when needed. Cold water
frequently dashed on the head, the
administration of cathartics and i'll
.iections of turpcntine and oil is one
kinh Of treatment recommended, and
We know of no better. But in treat
ing the disease particular attention
must be given to the dieting of the
animals mild, laxitiye diet being
required for some time after the sub
iect begins TO recover and regains
an appetite for food.-Factory and

Fish Culture.

American enterprise and industry
arc continually discovering and de-
veloping new channels Of industry
to increase the income or add to the
comfort of the people. Of all the
new fields of enterprise, however,
that have opened to our people in
the last ten years, none promises
greater results than the artificial
propagation and culture of fish. a
few men at the North have been
experimenting in this branch of do
mestic industry Il use the phrase
advisedly) for a number of years,
and have succeeded in reducing it to
a science so simple and plain tina.
any one of ordinary intelligence can
comprehend it, and it seems that
it would require only a very rea-
sonable amount of skill to practice
It's manipula:irns, and carry out
successfully its mcst intricate de"
taiis. Any one possessing water
privileges Of almost any kind can
engage in the cultivation of some
variety of the Gnny tribe. An al.

Suffering From Cramps.

These most terrible of pains arise
from the veins being so full Of blood
that they swell out, press against the
large nerves, and thus impede the
circulation of the vital fluid. In
smaller nerves the distension pro"
duces neuralgia, which is literally
"ncrve.ache." The cause Of this
unusual fullness of the vein is, that
it cannot flow by natures ordinary
agencies. In proportion as it is
thick, it is cold, and this abnormal
state is indicated by the feebleness
of the pulse. In cholera patients it
is very marked, and exists days ard
weeks before the attack. The fol-
lowing is a simple method of treat
ment:
When a person is attacked with
cramp, get some hot water quietly
and expeditiously (for noise and ex>
carnations of grief and alarm still
further disturb the nervous eqilib"
riun); put the sufferer in the water
as completely as possible, and thus
heat is impaired to the blood, which
sends it coursing along the veins,
and the pain is gone. While the
water is in preparation, rub the
cramped part very briskly with the
hand or woolen flannel, with your
mouth shut. But why keep the
mouth shut? You can rub harder,
faster and more efficiently, beside
it saves the sufferer from meaning
less and agonizing inquiries. A man
in pain does not want to be talked to
he wants relief, not words. If all
could know. as physicians do, the inr
estimablc value of quiet composure,
and the confident air on the part of
one who attempts to aid sufferer,
it would be practiced with cea elcss
assiluity by the consideratc and the
humane.

Alleged Remedy for DiphtEeria'

DR.. Field, an English physician,
when visiting MS patients afflicted
with diphtkcria, took nothing with
llm but quill and powdered sui"
phur. lie put a tcaspoonful Of sui
phur in q wineglass Of water, and
stirred it with his finger until tho"
roughly mixed. lie then used it as a
gargle. and in ten minutes his pa"
tient was out of danger. The gar
gle was also swallowed, not spit out.
When the disease was so far ad-
vanced that the patient could not
use the garglc, he blew some dry
sulphur through the quill into tho
throat, and when the fungus had
shrunk, used the gargle; or, pre-
vious to using the gargle, he put
some sulphur on live coal, and
made the patient inhale the vapor.
