Costumes AND NEEDLESSNESS
OF FENCES.

George N. Whitaker, in his lecture on
Neglected Trifes, makes the following
statement of facts concerning fences: In
New Hampshire the original cost of the
fences is equal to twice the value of all
the stock in the state, including horses,
and the annual tax upon the farms for
repairs of fences would nearly wipe out
all the state tax IL one year. The Con
necticut farmers pay one million dollars
annually for the maintenance of fences,
and farmers are offered in market for
less money than would be required In
building the fences which surround and
divide them. With such facts in view,
people IN many places are beginning to
see that fences are too costly, as well as
frequent unnecessary, while their remov-
al often improves the appearance of the
town. One Of the pleasantest features of
the landscape at the Massachusetts agri-
cultural college, is the entire absence of
road side fences against cultivated fields
and moving lands, and so well does the
idea of dispensing with fences take hold
of the farmers in the immediate vicinity
Of the college, that many of them are
following the example set by the early
founders of that institution, and are lay
ing their own grounds open to the high
way, thus adding much to the beauty of
the landscape, besides saving great bill
of expense to themselves One of the
first things which the rich feel is necess-
airy for their country homes is, that the
view should extend over the landscape
without the ugly interruption of a fence.
This natural feeling is shared also by
| those who are not rich, but like many
other things which exist simply from the
prejudices of habit, it has heretofore
| been considered impossible to realize
To day, however, by the slow process
of generations, civilized men have become
so imbued with love of order and law,
that tbs fence should disappear from the
landscape as the draw bridge and moat
have disappeared from the modern man.

STEREOTYPE PLATES OF CELLU.
LOID.

Anew process for obtaining stereotypes
for printing has been discovered by NJ.
Emile Jeannin, sculptor of Paris, who
proposes to employ for that purpose the
material known as celluloid. The pro-
cess of preparation takes only half an
hour, when the types are once set up.
and the plates thus produced are said to
be remarkably suitable for working on
cylinder machines running at high speed
being light, flexible, and very durable.
In this last respect, indeed. it is claimed
they surpass metal plates. The length
of time for making plate, other things
being equal, viii be great drawback to
the success Of the new process.

STOPPING ENGINES BY ELECTRO
C1TX

An improved method of stopping en-
gines, says The Electrician, has recently
been devised. The main object of the
device IS to enable any child or unskilled
person in any part of mill TO stop tie
engine in case of accident. The action
is exceedingly simple. BY touching q
spring similar to the spring OF an electric
ball is SET in motion. The ball drops and
shuts one of the valves, which prevents
the steam from escaping, and the engine
is brought to standstill.

Butter COlOring.

We have several letters from readers on
this subject, mostly endorsing what we have
said about the superiority of carrot color.
Some, who sell their butter as fast as made,
say that Wells, Richardson & Cos color
serves every purpose. One dairywoman who
uses it says her butter has Melted in the past
two months thirty five cents. She adds that
she will not break her back and tear her
finger nails grating carrot, for fear somebody
will call her lazy. That is not necessary.
The mechanical crater (Which costs only a
dollar) obviates all of that. And speaking of
coloring butter, our own is just now of the
finest yellow we have ever seen, without any
artificial color. We have raised several
hundred (near a thousand) cabbages this
season. From these we have cut the solid
heads (Which the cows will not eat) and
sold them in the village at an average price
OF fifty cents a dozen, feeding the rest to the
cows. The result is big yield of the best
butter we have ever made at this season of
the year. The variety of cabbage is the
Winnigstadt, and they are second crop
on the ground where we grew our Chinese
Multiplier onions. The young plants were
set early in July among the onions, which
were all harvested before the first of August.

UnwhOlesOme Wells.

The great trouble with wells is that in the
course of years the ground around the house
and barn becomes so impregnated with sew
age and other contaminations as to affect
the water. In the first report of the Massa-
chusetts Board of Health, Dr. Derby says
Z" AS rule, well receives drainage from a
superficial circular area whose diameter is
from one to three times the depth of the
well, varying with the character of the SOIL"
On this principle, no well thirty feet deep
should have privy, pig-pen, barnyard, or
cess-pool within fifty feet of it in any direc.
ton, nor should any slops of the house or
refuse of any kind be thrown upon the sur
face Of the ground within the area of this
circle. How many farms are there on which
this principle is not violated? 1t is not a
sufficient reply to say that the family have
drank from such wells with impunity for a
score or more of years. 1t must be remem-
bered that when the wells were first dug the
water was pure, but the ground has been
gradually impregnated with foul matter,
which, it it has not already permeated to the
water, will finally reach and contaminate it.
After fatal case of typhoid fever it will be
too late to resort to a crystal spring.

A Fine Gala.

A lady correspondent writes 81 have
Gala, one year old last August, that bios
somed in May, in August, and is now again
in bloom November 10Y. A florist, who Wis
tied us this summer, pronounced it the finest
one he had ever seen. 1t was planted in a
mackerel kit, with mixture of garden soil
and fine muck, with an inch Of white sand
over the top. The kit was not filled within
an inch and half, and nearly one inch of
water was kept over the surface. A spoon
full Of Bradley's phosphate was applied
when the plant was first set out" This
was giving the Gala just about the condi-
tions in which it grows naturally, and this
principle should be followed as nearly as pos
sible with all kinds of cultivated plants.

Even at EtOn.

The aristocracy Of England sense the sit
uation more promptly than the snobocracy
Of America. Eton College is the prepare
tory educational school which fits the boys
of the English gentry for the universities.
1t contains some hundreds Of boys from
twelve to twenty years old, the noise Of
whose play can be heard in Windsor castle,
mile or two away. In 1879 a school of
practical mechanics was added to the estab
lishment, which, at the commencement
lately held, was thrown open to the inspec-
ton of visitors for the first time The
young aristocrats, if we may believe the
newspaper reports, have done wonders in
the way of handling tools. upon entering
the iron-lathe room, steam engine of prob
ably five horsepower, made from end to end
by Etonians, is the first object that meets
the eye; and in the other rooms, all the
wooden fittings to lockers and other ad-
juncts of a workman's mandatory, are the
manufacture of Young Eton; admirable
work it is, too, conscientiously done, and
excellent in its finish. The smithy, with its
rows of bright fires, all waiting for the
young blacksmiths, is piece of delightful
realism when met with in such surround
ings." Now we hope that those heightened
New England educators who have heaped
foul scorn upon such as have desired practi-
cal education for their sons, will take
thought and revise their notions. Labor is
King in these times, gentlemen You may
pooh pooh away all the breath in your
bodies, but you cannot prevent the emo
bling of industry. Take warning by the
great men who were left stranded while
sneering at the anti-slavery movement. Get
on to the ship of progress before the gang
plank is drawn in and the hawsers cast off.
You'll be left
