Setting Fence Posts.

Twenty-Five years ago I was building a
board fence where used forty posts, and
having heard that posts would last longer to
be set top end down I thought I would test
the question. I took a log and split it in six
parts and set three top and three butt end
Down. The three set top end down were the
very first of the whole lot to rot of, though
they were much better timber than some
that were used. have been amused many
times to see the difference of opinion on the
subject of the durability of timber when set
in the ground. The difference is owing many
times to the difference in the preparation of
timber for use. Timber that is cut in the
winter and lies over the summer without be-
ing sawed or split is nearly worthless. have
used such that has rotted off in two or three
years, and which if it had been split or sawed
would have lasted fifteen or twenty years.
have fence made of chestnut posts and hem
lock boards that has stood twenty-five years.
There were two chestnut bar posts that stood
on my land thirty-6ve years, then were acct
dentally broken of. They were charred or
burned but this was done to harden them
through Cor. Country Gentleman.

Starting Early Vegetables.

Window boxes answer nearly all the pur-
poses of hot bed for garden IN which the
number of plants required is small. A kitchen
window is preferable to any other as the air
is usually more moist. Sow seeds in the
window boxes, and when the plants are up,
turn the boxes every day TO bring the oppo
site side to the light and keep them from
growing to one side. When the seedlings
get two or three "rough" leaves, those be-
yond the seed-leaves, they should be "pricked
out" or planted in other similar boxes, set
ting them an inch or more apart, according
to kind. The young plants may grow in
these until time to put them in the open
ground. Set the box out doors in the mid
die Of every mild day, or open the windows,
in order to harden the plants. The kinds
usually sown in hotbeds, frames and window
boxes are cabbages, caulifowers and others
of that family; lettuce, tomatoes, peppers
and egg plants; the last two will do month
later. CucumbeTs, melons and early squashes
may be started later, few seeds to give
plants enough for hill, in small box or
four inch pot. The roots of these are larg.
and do not succeed in small pot.

AGRICULTURAL.



In the setting out of shade and ornamental
trees, as well as of fruit trees, there is great
loss in not doing it in thorough manner.
All trees when transplanted should have all
the fibrous roots remaining that we possibly
can secure, and unhurt set in the hole.
These should be carefully placed and covered
with the fine earth, so that there may be no
air spaces left, but all should be thoroughly
imbedded in the soil. To secure this, it is a
good plan when the roots are all covered to
pour on few pai'sfuls Of water before filling
the hole even with the surface. But above
all, dig large and deep hole, and be sure
that it is well filled with good earth below
and beyond the circumference of the tree
roots. We have before us now some maple
trees, some of which were placed in holes
thus prepared, and others where, although
the work was done sufficiently well other
wise, this direction was not carried out It
is surprising to note the difference in the
growth of three years between the trees thus
planted. The small expense of the extra
preparation is more than repaid in the re-
suits.
In transplanting trees, vines or shrubs,
carelessness in the work never pays, and it is
far preferable TO do the job too well, If such a
thing were possible, than to err even the
slightest In the other direction. There is
seldom any satisfaction gained in watching
the growth of poorly transplanted tree, but
when transplanted in the best way it is one
of the pleasures of country life to watch the
success which always follows our best efforts.

At recent meeting of the Maine Board Of
Agriculture DR.. North of Augusta made a
speech which is reported as follows :"Had fed
roots and most kinds of grain. Thought
feeding bran or shorts has tendency to de-
crease the size of butter-gobules, hence de-
creasing the relative amount in the milk.
Some food has the tendency to increase the
size OF the butter globules. Butter is harder
to come where bran is fed, on account of the
smallness of the butter globules thereby. The
grains of butter are also smaller The small
er the globule the harder to churn. Thought
feeding cotton-seed meal had tendency to
increase the size of butter-globules. Milk.is
richer, cream churns easier, causes the cows
to keep in good condition. Fed cotton-seed
meal with corn-meal half and half, one
quart each per feed twice per day. Hal new
er fed pea and oat meal. Liked oatmeal.
Did not think much of roots as seed for butt
ter-makiDg. Had sowed fodder-c0rn and fed
It. Slowed millet and Hungarian grass now.
Preferred Hungarian grass now.

Potato Cheese.

A French paper says that cheese is made
from potatoes in Thuringa and Saxony, in
the manner described below. The process is
worth trying In the country:
After having collected quantity of pota-
toes, of good quality, giving the preference
to large, white kind, they are boiled in a
caldron, and, after becoming cool, they are
peeled andreduced to pulp, either by means
of crater or mortar. To five pounds of this
pulp, which ought to be as equal as possible,
is added one pound of sour milk, and the nee
essary quantity of salt. The whole is knead-
ed together, and the mixture covered up and
allowed to lie for three or four days, according
to the season. At the end of this time it is
kneaded anew, and the cheeses are placed in
little baskets, when the superfuous moisture
escapes. They are then allowed to dry in the
shade, and placed in layers in large vessel,
where they must remain for fifteen days.
The older these cheeses are the more their
quality improves. Three kinds are, made
the first and most, as detailed above; the
second, with four parts of potatoes and two
parts of curdled milk; the third, with two
parts of potatoes and four parts of COW or eve
milk. These cheeses haYe this advantage
over other kinds, that they do not engender
worms, and keep fresh for number of years,
provided they are placed in dry situation
and in well closed vessels.

S0ws Eatiu Vouny

a letter from Paris, France, TO the Lancas-
.el ffornler, says that many plans have been
tried TO prevent sows from devouring their
young; the mothers voracity is due to the
pain they infiict on her when they first begin
to suckle, for they are Uttered with milk
teeth, and the latter, often not being sufic-
iently distant from one another, the teat is
thus bitten. In France the milk teeth, at the
extremity OF the Jaw, are extracted, SO the
mother, not being wounded, does not become
furious. Another plants to rub the young with
gin, as also the mothers snout; the odor will
ward of her attacks; or pour into her ear at

To Wash Black Cashmere.

Take hard soapsuds. wash your goods thor
oughly, and after you have rinsed them in
warm water, rinse them in warm coffee, with
teaspoonful of gum arabic to every pound
of goods; take piece of dark flannel or place
layer of flannel and then one of the goods,
and SO on until you have finished, then, roll
up tight and leave until morning, then iron
on the wrong side. You can also wash
soiled velvet in this way.-N. e. Farmer.
