Planting Seeds.

Thousands of seeds are buried alive-are
suffocated through excess of covering I'm
due hardness of soil may also prove an OBJ
stacle to growth, but the seed bed and its
covering may also be too soft. A certain
amount of resistance seems needful for the
development of healthy growth in Seeds
The advice not to cover with soil at all, on
ly lay sheet of glass over pans or pots of
small seeds, is also good: but caution is
needful in reference to it. Seeds so covered
and placed on shelves within full reach of
the sun have to endure heat almost be-
yond belief. The glass should either be
whitened over or covered with paper; but
seeds are much better placed in the shade
or even in the dark. Until they terminate
they need no light to excite them into
growth. As soon as the germ developes in
to stem and leaf not before-can it make
any good use of light. Of course, seeds ger
minated in the dark need careful treatment
in their first stages of planthood; but with
careful Introduction to the light the young
plants speedily gain strength, while larger
percentage of seeds will terminate in shade
semi or total darkness than when exposed
to light from the first.

Law Of the Fence.

Much hard feeling between neighbors and
no small amount of litigation have resulted
from disregard of the law relating to divis-
ion of fences. Sometimes this is due to
"bad blood'', but much oftener to ignorance
of what the law is. In Judge Benefits
Farm Law, which has been noticed in
these columns, We find the following laid
down as the Law of the Fence" which we
advise those not already familiar with the
law to carefully study. Every man must
keep his cattle upon his land at his peril
He is liable if they stray away into others
grounds. 1t was long ago provided by stat
ute law that adjoining owners of improved
land should maintain partition fences in
equal shares, and if they did not agree how
the fence should be divided, either might
apply to the fence viewer, elected by the
town every year, to decide which part each
proprietor should keep up. And if after
such decision either party re-
fused or neglected to keep in repair
recover thesexpensessof the delinquent own
er by suit at law.'
eff my adjoining owner does not keep UP
his half of the fence. and my cattle get
through and injure his crops he has no re-
dress against me, since his own neglect was
in part, at least, the cause of the injury.
But if my cattle stray bepond the immedi-
ately adjoining land into the larm of a third
person, and there injure his crops, am liza
BILE for the damage to him, although my half
of the fence is good and my animals escaped
through my immediate neighbours defective
fence, because, as to all persons except to
my nearest neighbor, am still bound to
keep my cattle on my own land. You are
not obliged to have any fence on the road
except to keep your own cattle in. If other
people leave your bars down, by which your
cattle escape into the highway, and thence
into my corn-field, you are responsible to me
for all the damage, although not actually in
fault, If you keep all your fences up. On
the other hand, if you are carefully driving
your cattle along the highway, and without
your fault, they break away from your con-
troll, and run into my adjoining land, and
you drive them out as soon as you reason
ably can. you are not responsible for the
damage done, for you have a right to
drive them along the highway, with
proper care and attention, The proper le-
gal height of all division fences in this
State is four feet, and they may be made of
rails, timber, boards or stone wall A brooH,
river, pond, ditch, or hedge may also be
sufficient, oil any other thing which the
fence viewers consider equivalent to four
foot rail fence. MAINE Farmer

AGRICULTURAL
Kicking Cows.


There always have and probably always
will be, COWS that have shown and will
show a carelessness in the use of the hind
leg that is always veXa.ious and sometimes
dangerous. To curb the propensity to kick.
many devices have been adopted, some of
which we have been publishing during the
last few weeks. In the adoption of RENE
dies simplicity is usually aimed at, and
when the means used must result in abso-
lutely making it impossible for the COW to
kick, the plan published in our last issue is
probably as simple and good as any. But it
very often happens that this is not necessa-
~, that the COW may be dec lived into the
belief that it is impossible for her to kick,
when at the same time she could indulge
herself in her peculiar amusement Just as
well as not. In such cases still more simple
appliances can be adopted, and as they are
not only simple but cheap, it costs very lit
tie to ascertain whether or not they will be
sufficient. One of the most vicious cows we
ever knew. was broken of the habit of kick
ing by being theoretically cramped against
the side of shed by two rails resting in
holed posts. The top rail came about half
way of her body or a little higher and the
bottom one near the level of her belly. 1t
was close fit, and she knew, of course, that
she was deprived of her liberty, but there
was nothing at all to prevent her from kick
iuS, III sue Wantcu 10. one never QlQ KICK,
however, after being placed in this simple
continuance, and after awhile she could be
MIXED in that spot without the bars being
put up, but she could be MIXED nowhere
else; aud it did not require twenty minutes
work, to make the remedy. Of course if
one did not have the post on hand, it would
be a question, if it would pay to try the ex-
pertinent, instead of adopting means which
would be absolutely certain in their results
The imagination of animals is often sus-
ceptible of being very advantageously
worked upon. We once had friend who
had very vicious young mule, that would
kick whenever the attempt was made to en-
ter her stall. Our friend concluded to
''cramp' her, and so attaching a rail to the
manger, he fastened the other end in way
that confined her muleship to the side of the
STALL She thought she was fast, ard never
offered to kick; and in time, she was all
right If the rail was up, even hough it did
not touch her. But if anyone attempted to
enter that stall when the rail was not up, he
would think that howitzer loaded with
mules, heels had exploded. These are only
two of the many illustrations of the fact
that animals do not know their power, they
cannot reason, and it is very fortunate for
men that they cannot. They are faithful
servants to us, because they do not know
enough to be our masters, and this lack of
knowledge often makes it easy for us to con-
quer their viciousness'- Western Rural.
