Thousands of dollars can be saved BY
using proper judgment in taking care OF
the health of yourself and family. If you
are bilious, have sallow complexion, poor

Somebody has made n calculation showing
shat the nancy invested in fences in the United
States amounts in the aggregate to more than
the national debt. The fences moreover must
be renewed ON the average once in every ten
years. They are growing more expensive with
the scarcity of timber and the increasing demand
for lumber for more important purposes Some
substitute must be found. Wire is extensively
used, but there serious objections to il in all
its forms.
Why not adopt the Usage oranse' Properly
treated, it makes an excellent hedge. When the
plants are allowed 10 grow mp unframed they
make beautiful trees. and few of them, permit
ted to shoot up at intervals in the hedge, are
very desirable, both for shade aud ornament.
With good attendance hedge may be obtained
in three or four years that will turn the largest
or the smallest stock. Better still, it will turn
men and boys. The lawless trespasser will have
a hard road 10 travel when he has either to bolt
through an Usage hedge, or run quarter of a
mile to find gate.
Nothing would 90 farther to relieve the farmer
from this annoyance. which in the ncighbUTood
of towns is almost uncomfortable, than the eencr-
al introduction of the hardy Usage hedge. The
sportsmen, who are annually urging the Lrgis!a-
ture to greater stringency in the laws for the
preservation of game, may also PTohtahly con-
slider how mnch this cheap and simple eXpcdicnt
would contribute 70 their object. The hedge is

Cure for Iron Puncture

happened, to-day, to in your triple sheet
for the 18th of last month, an article of death
from Nail Scratch" and hasten to write to You
about n remedy for wounds of iron that never
failed as far as / know, and have known it
used for many years. and it is copper. On a
wound occasioned by iron, rusty or not, put on
copper.
In my native town, where was for years a
ship owner, when vessel was to he sheeted on
the bottom with copper, they had TO drive iron
bolts deeper in, put a wooden cover outside,
then Use paper under the copper. When it was
intended to cOppersheet a vessel when new, they
had not to uss the iron for bolts. You see it
will be easy to convince people that know of
copper destroying iron bolts in a vessel, that
copper will eat or destroy iron in wound, and
believe il has been known to do it. There
may be scientific evidence for my assertion in
the fact that in medicine the antidote for cap
rum is forum.
In the emigrant vessel / came over in ] had,
with the Captain, the medicinal care there be-
ing no doctor ON board. One day, girl came
with her hand bleeding. She had stumbled
down a staircase, and slid her hand. in the fall,
along an old rusty iron handwriting, 40 the
most, if not all, of her fingers were much hurt
by the rusty iron. l put ON some coins like
your copper cents, and bandaged it, and she was
healed. There are many other instances know
Of and also / know how little this remedy is
known. A doctor, / was told, died Of having
got nail in his foot.-ReW ReHrseH.

Msrfal aud Curious.
The Care of Lace

yaleucienues is the cheapest lace, in the end,
for many reasons. 1t is made with n round,
whole thread. Worn carefully, not daily, it can
hardly be worn out Is can be washed any nnm-
Der Of times; and not 80 peculiar as the point or
applique laces, the meehlins, etc, all of which
are mnch more fragile, it gives the soft effect of
lace without attracting too much attention, so
as 10 be recognized easily again. 1t is very
great mistake to keep laccs particularly valen-
cienues, which is not ut all injured by being
waslied) for years without washing. Many NO.
men believe that all lace is ruined by washing,
and will keep some cherished bits Of lace for
years, turning yellow with age, and rotting
with the dust it has accumulated till it really
drops to pieces. yaleneiennes does not need a
skilfull French blanchisseuse to ''do it up,s as
the phrase is. Let the owner wrap large bottle
closely in white flannel, then sew tightly over
the flannel piece of cotton. After washing the
lace carefully in lukewarm water and soapsuds,
in which may be dissolved q little borax (say y
thimblefnl of borax to pint and half of water,)
and rinsing the lace several times in clear water
till no soap remains in il, wind the lace about
the bottle which you have prepared rs above,
50 that the lace lies quite fiat without wrinkles;
open the little loops that form the edge with n
pin; stand the bottle in the sun. When the lace
is quit dry, that you may be sure of its entire
cleanliness, you may, if you desire TO give it the
yellow appearance of old lace, take a soft hand
kerchief and dip il in a cup of black coffee and
soap the lace with it with sponge, trying to
do 80 evenly; then let the lace dry. Some people
prefer to rinse the lace in coffee before putting
il into the bottle, but have found the method
described above better

this fence five years ago and it has stood oTr lca

three pieces split or sawed ont of any durable
timber, 2x3 inches, 6 feet 6 inchceS long, aud
firmly nailed together in shape like the letter \,
only that two posts on one side , OF inches
apart, according 10 the thickness of the rails. 4
piece of inch board. or inches wide, must be
nailed acrnss the double posts for the lower rail
to rest upon. The brace is nailed acros the posts,
the butt of brace being feet from the butt of
the posts, and the top being few inches down
from the top of the outside post. When the rails
are II feet long the posts require TO Ice II feet
apart; that will allow the rails TO overlap
six inches at each end when they are laid in be-
tween the posts. Where the land is clear of
stumps and stones we pillow two straight burrows,

Rustic Hanpinp Basket.

Hanging baskets, whether in tho greenhouse
or the window, Ifnicely filed with living plants,
are always admired They are also quite fash
ionable, and why should not that have sonnet thing
TO do with the matter well with fine clothes.
The potters make pots to hang up, out of clay,
the same as ordinary flower pots These with
plants gracefully depending from their sides are
very pretty. Some Use large sea shells, others
the half of cocoanut SHE'LL while the more cost
~ are many kinds of terra Gotta ware and end
less patterns of rustic work. These last are
what we started TO speak Of We have seen
some very elaborate styles of rustic baskets, i'm
ported from New York, mostly made of knotty
AMI quarry pieces of roots and bark of trees on q
wooden framework, most likely turned for the
purpose. Now these when nicely done, and var
nished, are exceedingly pretty; so too are those
made from the cones of the pine and fir trees.
These usually cannot be readily vanished.
There is yet another material plentiful in the
West, and nothing is better or looks nicer; these
are acorns. Acorn baskets, either with or with
ont the cups. if equal sized aeorns are selected
and nicely put on, which any handy man can do,
and then coated with coach varnish, are very
much admired. To obtain one without mnch
trouble, get a small sized wooden bowl of the
grocer, some brads, and acorns
These are all the materials required. For
suspension cords, take copper wire and run the
aeorns to cover it. To he just right the bowls
riquire to he deeper than ordinary butter or
wooden bowls-hence it is hest to have them
turned. where il is convenient to do Soc. =.

When to Sell.

Without assuming to know more than others
when the farmer should get rid of his crops and
whether ii is better to hold on 10 them awaiting
n rise to what they at any time selling at,
our idea has been to sell as the crops are
ready for the market, for the best price that can
he obtained for them. We think it is even
strange that there should he any doubt about
this. or that any one who is asked for advice
would hesitate moment what answer to make,
for there Is no douht in the world that As gen.
eral rule the man who turns his money round
the quickest makes money the fastest in the long
run. and this Is true in farming as in any 9TH
er pursuit. Once in a while makes more
money by holding on: and in theory it seems
best to hold on. There are large number who
ranst sell as soon as their crops are ready. They
have to sell for any price they can get. in order
to meet accounts long since due. This rushing
in of crops has tendency, or ought TO have, in
making low prices. But this is only theoretical
II is found by experience that in commercial
phrase these auticpatIons are always ''discoun-
ted" Experience shows that there is very rarely
any greater stock in the grain trade that finds
its way into the market than is ahont in fair de-
mand. The only chance to make much money
by holding on is when one has the means at
hand to control large lots, and TINS in a measure
lie able 20 control his price: but il happens
rarely that il is n consideration the average far
mer has nothing TO do with.-GerRaRtoEH Tee

OLD AND NEW.

The Old Year sat beside til. hearth
In thoughtful mood the hour WAS late;
And ere he vanished from the earth
The past he fam would contemplate:
Il brousht a wealth Of joy for those
Who had oerburdened been with grief
He said, and for unnumbered woes
Furnished the cordial Of relief
To some gave a gnr,len's bloom
Sweet pansies and forget menotsI
To some the cypress and the tomb,
The barrrnness Of desert spots;
With love i tzrried for n while
Breathing the sweet Ely sian air;
And bidding hope serrnely smile
Across the Threshold Of despair.
81 entered on my natal hour.
Burtlenod alike with bliss and bane
Commissioned by nv Lord to dover
some hearts with easr. and some with pain.
Where happiness hsd rich increase
shall be h0nored long know;
But thoso robbrl of joy peace
They will be glad TO have me 60.
i've followed many bridal train,
Have watched by many lonely bier:
With mirth and draih, with loss and gain.
Made up the record Of the year
And now beside December's gate
Where hangs the years alarum bell
pause To sean the past, and wait
The sound Of my funeral knell
"One How the hours have slipped away!
Two. some will weep with sore regret;
Three! Could still on earth delay
-Four! S1me good might accomplish yet
Five! An angelic song awoke,
Six, Surely are the letters riven;

Eight, Chime sweetly with the clock Of Heaven.
Nine! am nearer 10 my quail
Ten! Time must eternity bcgni

In solemn tone dies away;
And quick We hear the New Years knock
