The ordinary fence laws of Tennes-

and there is neither a common law nor
statutory obligation on them to con-
strrtct OF maintain cattle-guards for the
protection of crops growing on tine
cultivated lands through which their
roads pass. Neither was the act of
1875, c. ia intended to apply to rail
road companies, although the land 4on
which the track Is built is within lone
general enclosure maCle by Joining the
fences of the farmer to the cattle
guards of the railroad. These laws
were intended for adjoining land
owners engaged in agriculture, who
are mutually benefited AS well as bound
by them.

A correspondent in an exchange
gives the following in reference to
distinguishing the sex in eggs; 'Last
winter an old poultry keeper told me
that be could distinguish the sex in
eggs. I laughed at him and was
none of the less skeptical when he
told me the following secret: Eggs
with the air bladder on the centre of
the crown Of the egg will produce
eockrels; those with the bladder on
one side will produce pullets. The
old man was 80 certain Of the truth of
this dogma, and his poultry yard SO
far confirmed it, that I determined to
make experiments upon it this year.
I have done SO, carefully registering
the air bladder vertically, or
the bladder on one side, and
rejecting all others. The result
was fifty-eigbt chickens Matched, three
dead, eleven are yet too young to
decide upon their sex; of the remain
ing forty-four every one has turned
out true to the old mans theory.
This Of course may be an accidental
coincidence, but I shall certainly try
the experiment again.

CHICKEN CHoLERA.-The disease
commonly known as chicken cholera
is one ola contagious character, al
though it will undoubtedly occur
spontaneously in a single fowl of a
flock, and may spread no further if
the sick fowl is removed at once to
safe distance. The disease is intes-
final fever with inflammation Of the
liver. Itmay be caused by unwhole-
some surroundings and by continued
indigestion and malnutrition, by
which the blood is brought into the
precise condition in which it furnishes
an acceptable support to the germs Of
the disease which are floating in the
air Of certain seasons and under
certain circumstances. These, how
ever, are 20 varied that we may
expect them to be present at all times
even in the coolest weather, for even
the fowls are attacked with this disease
The conspicuous indications Of this
disease are . yellowness Of the wattles
and cheeks and green and yellow
dung or . black liquid discharge.
When q fowl ID thus attacked it
should be separated from the rest;
twenty drops Of carbolic acid should
be put into . pint Of water for twelve
fowls, and the sick fowl should have
three drops Of the acid given in
tsaspoonful Of water. No food should
be given for some days and only the
carbolatsd water.

FARM NOTES


STABLE Floors. - The long-de-
bated question as to the best material
for stable floors is being again revived.
A clay floor was adhered to by some
for years, and such was the earnest
ness Of its advocates and the argu-
ments brought to bear upon it, that
We were induced some twenty years
ago to try it. In three or four months
we had the planks back again, being
satisfied of the disadvantages of clay
for this purpose. Our present floor
Of plank is simply inclined little
from front to rear, where the usual
gutter is made to carry off the usual
liquid weddings. We do not believe
in sand, coal-ashes, sawdust, asphaltum,
flags, cobble-stones, or any of these
modern devices to injure horses.
Thus far we have never noticed that
this little inclination was in any way
injurious; and we doubt whether the
wooden grating that we frequently
see placed over the planking that
that some use would be advisable on
the ground that the animal would be
no more comfortable, while this NOV
able grating or second floor might
lead to accidents. When a person
can keep horses in good, sound,
healthy condition for five or seven
years, as we have done on care
fully constructed plank flooring,
inclined . little to the rear, it is just as
we'll to be satisfied with it. Do what
one will, holes will be dug by the
stamping of the feet in the clay, and
these will be filed with moisture
which will necessarily result in
scratches, quarter &c. If the
clay is levelled off and beaten down
carefully every day il will make no
difference. Some time ago we in-
spected number of stables where
many horses were kept, and we en-
countered only one which was COM
posed of anything but wood. OF
course there viii be new things
Neutrality-suspicious. up, which are
to meet and overcome every objection
and there will be some to adopt them
but we shall be satisfied with what
we have until there is something
produced about which there will be
no mistake. - Germantown Telegraph.
