loud and profane language The boys
father-a poor was unable to raise
the full amount, but managed to pay
one dollar on account, promising to set

Fence Posts.

The fact that there is a great differ
ence in the lasting qualities of fence
posts set green, and those that are well
seasoned, or that there is any prefer
ence, as to the season for cutting, is
too often entirely overlooked by farm
ers; they use posts just as they chance
to have them; if they have them on hand
all seasoned at the time they wish to use
them, they set them, but if not. and
they have them growing, they will cut
them and set them green. This is not
good economy, for. a post set green and
full Of sap will not season well in moist
earth, but instead of drying it will soon
begin to decay. It is better to season
posts that are to be set in the earth, at
least one year before setting; by so
doing they will last nearly twice as long
as posts cut at the same season of the
year, and set green; but a post cut in
September, and set green, will probably
last nearly. if not quite as long as one
cut in March or April. and seasoned a
year before setting.
There are more farmers that know
that it is not economy to set green posts
than there are that know that there is a
great preference as to the season Of cut
ting. Timber, to be good, should be
cut soon after it has made its growth
for the season; then the sap has formed
into wood, leaving it comparatively
dry; but if cut the latter part Of winter
or the first of spring the sap is flowing
up through all parts of the wood in such
quantities as to make it very difficult to
| dry it; hence its increased liability to
decay s. S 81
Farmers who cut their own fence
posts should look ahead far enough to
enable them to cut them at the right
time, and have them seasoned when
| they want them for use. M ssi &; .5i
For reasons that do not appear very
clearly to us, it is found by experiment
that posts will last longer if the top be
set in the ground. Some give as q rea-
son for this that the moisture from the
earth is more readily drawn up in post
set in the natural way, than if reversed.
Admitting this to be true, and that the
water thus drawn up causes the post to
decay, why will not the descending rain
enter the large end of the post, when
reversed, and keep the post even more
moist than when set the other end up?
| is d question that has often occurred to
| us. But whatever the cause. there
seems to be good evidence that post
set top down will last longer than one
set the butt end down.
/ The more difficult it becomes to get
fence posts the closer should be the at
tention paid to cutting, seasoning and
setting. - II Massachusetts, Plough7ad11.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Two year-old trees of the apple,
plum, pear and cherry are the best size

specimens will give the best satisfaction.

According to Prof. Beal, of Iowa,
the bat, instead of being an object of
aversion should be regarded as a true
ss.friend of man." as it is great de-
stroyer of insects, and unlike many of
the tropical species, does no harm to man
or beast.
In England window curtains of
stained glass, for the lower half of the
window, are becoming usual, and are a
very great improvement upon the ugly
structures of woven wire and wicker
which have done service for so long a
time. 'sThose who know assert that
these particularly pretty additions to
the windows will soon be equally usual
in New York residences.
Corn will shrink from the time it is
husked from the field or shock. in the
autumn, in we'll protected cribs, from
twenty to thirty per cent by spring.
That is, one hundred bushels will shrink
to seventy or eighty, according to how
dry it was when gathered. Sound corn
will shrink twenty per cent. SO that forty
cents per bushel as it comes from the
field is as good as fifty cents in the
spring.-M Y Examiner.
4 The Gardener s Monthly says: ut
has only recently been clearly demon
.strated that dead branch of a tree
makes almost as great a strain on the
main plant for moisture as does a living
aone. This is one OF the most important
discoveries Of modern botanical science
to the practical horticultural, as by this
knowledge he can save many a valuable
tree. Any dead branch, or any weak
one. should be at once cut away"
"A writer in the National Farmer
says: "A half pint of sunfower seed
given to a horse with his other feed,
each morning and night, will keep him
in better health and better spirited than
he will be without it, while his hair will
be brighter. When a saddle horse is
required to be particularly sprightly, he
may be given pint of sunflower seed
with his oats at night, and half as much
in the morning; he will be found more
| antic and sprightly through the day,
and consequently be more pleasant to
| the rider.

IN TIE SAME STRAIN
Mr.. ScovIe stated this afternoon that the &C
ton taken by his wife in hCago, To be APP
pointed guardian OF Guiteau, was intended
only to apply to the money received by HIM
from his book, and not to raise the question
of his insanity for trial in the Chicago courts.
Moreover, Mrs Scoylle had an idea that the
prisoner would soon receive handsome rev.
enue from the sale Of the new edition OF his
book, and was afraid that he would waste his
money Mr.. Scoville said he had advised with
his wife not to take the step she had, as he
thought that if the prisoner received any more
money than he needed that it should be de-
voted to paying his counsel fees. lie could
not 90 to see Guiteau at present, tor he had
taken exception to some remarks, made by
him few days ago, and the mere mention OF
the name of Scoville Sutticed to throw him into
frenzy. He was raving mad to day when
Reed informed him of Mrs. SCovillc's action.
BROTHERS. BAsENEsS.
Warden Croker says he has never seen Gui-
teau SO enraged as since hearing the move OF
his sister to have a Chicago court give her
legal custody of his estate. Guieau thinks all
his sister wants to accomplish is to get the
profits of his book. lie declares that if he
has to die he will make a will which will keep
her from getting cent from his estate. SEQ
vile he positively rules out of his case, ard
Reed will hereafter have entire charge. Gun
teau has obtained about $500 from the sale Of
his pictures and autographs The receipts
average $40 day. Should the application
for a new trial be denied the Warden vii! at
once exclude all visitors who call from curos-
ity and put an end to the sale Of pictures and
autographs in Jail. The extraordinary pro-
ceedlngs at the Jail connected with the exhibit
ton of tn" assassin has been entirely under the
control of the Warden. Marshal Henry is
anxious that it shall be known that he is en-
tirely without power over the prisoner since
his committal. Guiteau writes in his book,
.'If all other remedies fail shall boldly APP
peal to the president for relief under my own
hand"
