We see good deal in the papers now days
about big fat hogs and hear them spoken Of as
if they the chief objects ofthe farmers toll,
but we see very little of that really good savOry,
substantial old time bacon were accustomed
to twenty or thirty years ago. There is plenty
of fat bacon in the Market but it is also spengy,
insipid, badly cured, gross and unhealthy. A
piece of old time bacon, firm, clear, muscular,
and savOry, is hard to find. Our bacon has suf-
frred mighty deterioration within the last
quarter of a century, and consumers are the
losers. Much of the bacon consumed now is

Barbed Wire for Fencing.

Experience has demonstrated the practical
value of the following suggestions for construc-
ting barbed wire fence: Set substantial posts
one rod apart; the post at the starting point
shonld he well braced by cutting n notch in it
two and half feet from the ground, and run
ming n strong pole from the notch TO the foot of
the second post where it is fitted TO rest firmly,
and il supported about two inches above the
ground by means of short block driven down
beside the fence post. This method of bracing
should be repeated once in forty rods. family
construction would he TO cut the notch in the
starting post four feet from the ground, make
the brace shorter, and allow the lower end to
rest upon the ground; for the moment the wire
is frightened upon the fence. the short brace acts
as fulcrum to lift the initial post. When the
posts are set a wire is wrapped firmly around
fine first post, four feet and two inches from the
ground; then the coil is unrolled forty rods and
the wire drawn tight by means of n set of small
pulleys with grapples. After this wire has been
securely stapled, second is similarly fastened
one foot below it, and n third and fourth below
this, leaving a foot space between the respec-
tive wires; the ground space is fourteen inches.
-Four wires thus arranged make a perfect cattle
fence. For horses the lower wire should be
without barbs, to prevent cutting the knee, and
a fifth wire should be placed upon the posts five
feet from the ground.-PreC s. 4. Knapp, in
american .igriculfnist for NOrcmber..

The chinch bug is an indigenous American in
sect and thrives most in southerly latitudes. 1t
delights in n warm dry climate. During revolu-
tionary times il flourished in the Carolinas and
in Virginia, rather than in New England and to-
day is more disastrous in Southern Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Texas aud the Southwest, though
it extends farther north in the Mississippi VAL
ley than on the Atlantic coast, owing, no doubt,
to the greater dryness and the isothermal pecul-
iarities Of that portion of the continent.
As the chinch bug prevails most during the
years of drouth, it is somewhat difficult, in esti
mating injury caused by tho insect, TO eliminate
that due to drouth alone. Careful compu-
tations by myself in Missouri, and DR.. lie Baron
and Prof. Thomas in Illinois, show that the loss
to those two States, in 1874, amounted to about
fifty million dollars, and these figures arc suffi-
cient indication of the insects destructive pow
ers.'
The food of the chinch hug consists Of the
grasses and cereals, wild and cultivated, and ac-
counts of injuring other plants are misleading
allied species being conlounded with it. Belong
ing to the half-wing bugs (Hetaopterd), its
mouth is hdHsteitdte and food Is obtained, in con-

correspondent of the Stockton (Cal.) Herald
writes follows:
herewith append a recipe which has been
used to my knowledge in hundreds Of cases. 1t
will prevent or cure the small pox, though the
pittings are filling. When Jenner discovered
cow-pox in England, the world of science hurled
an avalanche upon his head, but when the most
scientific school of medicine in the world-that
Of Paris-published this recipe as panacea for
smallpox, il passed unheeded. II is as unfail-
ing as fate, and conquers in every instance. 1t
is harmless, when taken by well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe
as have used it, and cured my children of scar
let fever; here it is as / have used it to cure
SMALL when learned physicians said the pa
tient must die, it cured:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox glove, (diGi-
tails, one grain; half teaspoonful of sugar;
mix with two tablespoonful of water. When
thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of water.
Take a spoonful every hour. Either disease will
disappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller
doses, according to age. If countries would
compel their physicians to use this, there would
be no need Of pest houses. IT, You value advice
and experience this for that terrible disease.

Nnteson Indian Corn.

To improve corn, one should study the plants
on which lie intends to experiment. Let him
take pattern after the successful breeder of ami
mails. The latter studies the animals which are
mated. Let breeder of corn select the best
stalks in his field, cover the young ears before
the ''silk" comes in sight. Then take pollen
from a stalk very much like the one which is to
to bear the seed corn. Save the best ear, plant
in a good place by ITSELF and cultivate we'll Con-
tinue this work, and in few years he can make
almost anything he chooses of his corn. One
should let no popularity of corn escape his at
tentiOn. See which endures dry weather best;
notice the height of the upper ear, the stalk, the
earlness, the number of nodes, whether the
stalks are slender or stout; whether the ears
have long short hnsks, long or short, or large
OF small shanks etc. This is a fascinatin study,
and he who will begin an intelligent series of ex-
periments looking 10 the Improvement of corn,
Will he quite sure to succeed. He will interest
and profit himself, and also become bencfactor
