Gan act to constitute legal barbed.wire
ferc,," proposes to make atbrse-barbed.wire
fence, with top wire not less than four feet
high, a legal fence; but in townships or
COUNTIES where hogs are allowed 10 run at

If wire fence is allowed at all there ought
to be board or stat not less than three or
four inches wide above the top wire, 80 that
stock could see the fence. Any kind of ALL
wire fence ought to be prohibited by law;
but bsrbed wire fence without board
above it is species of cruelty that ought

a GIRL WRO SPELLS WORDS
BACKWARD.

In the plantation Of OAk6eld, Aroostook
county, Maine, there Is girl who possesses
the faculty Of spelling difficult words back
ward without hesitation. Her name is
Hattie NJ. Drew, and che is just Isst her
12ih birthday and resides with her parents
at Oak6eld. They are people Of moderate
education, living upon farm in a rural
community. While this little gi1l is bright
and smart as the average of her mates she
never attracted particular attention until, a
little more than year ago, it was discovered
that she possessed the singular faculty OF
spelling any word with which ths was ac-
quainted backward and without hesitation.
At spelling match recently held in the
school which she attends, without any warL-
ing, she stood before the audiencs for some
ten minutes spelling words selected at ran.
dom some for their difficulty of combination,
but without any previous knowledge OF what
they were to b., rapidly and correctly, ex-
cept one or two which she could not epell in
the proper way, and when prompted in the
correct spelling of these Immediately re-
versed it. Among the words which ste
spelled were: Galaxy, syzygy, astronomy,
robin, photography, difficulty, attendance,
indivislble, etc. All of these words were
spelled as rapidly as the eye could follow,
without single misplacement of letter.
Has any other person without any training
been able to do this or similar fea.s? In
addition, it may be said, upon the testimony
of the girl, that "she can see the words in
her mind, and knows no reason Why she
should not read the letters backward as in the
usual way"

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1883.

More people have read "The SUM-" during the
year just passing than ever before since it was
first printed. No other newspaper published on
this side of the earth has been bought and read in
any year by many and women.
We credbly informed that people buy, read
and like "The SUM-" for the following reasons,
among others:
Because its news columns present in attractive
form and with the greatest possible accuracy what
ever has interest for humankind; the events, the
deeds and msdeeds, theowisdom,the philosophy,
the notable folly the slid sense, the improving
nonsense-all the news of the busiest world at
present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that III its remarks
concerning persons and affairs s'The Sun" makes a
practice of telling them the exact truth the best
Of its ability three hundred and sixtyfve days in
the year, before election well after, about the
whales well about the small fish, in the face of
dissent as plainly and fearlessly as when supported
by general approval. "The Sun has absolutely
no purposes to serve, save the Information of its
readers and the furtherance of the common good
Because it is everybodys newspaper No man is
so humble that 'srhe Sun is Indifferent his well
fare and his rights No man is so rich that it can
allow injustice to be done him. No man, asso-
citation Of men, is powerful enough to be exempt
from the strict application of its principles Of right
and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for dozen
years, without intermission and sometimes almost
alone among newspapers, the fight that has resulted
in the recent overwhelming verdict against Robe
what party is in power, "The Sun" stands and will
continue to stand ike rock Tor the interests of the
people against the ambition Of BOSSES the cncroach
ments Of monopolists, and the dishonest schemes
Of public robbers.
All this is what told almost daily by our
friends. One holds that "The Sun" is the
best religious newspaper publish I'd, because its
Christianity is undiluted with cant. Another holds
that it is the best Republican newspaper printed,
because it has already whipped half Of the rascals
out Of that party, and is proceeding against the
other half with undimnished vigor third be-
heves it to be the best magazine of general ltera
ture in existence because its readers miss nothing

thought. So every friend Of "The Sun" discovers
one of its many sides that appeals with particular
force to his individual liking.
If you already know "The Sum- you will OBJ
serve that in 1883 it is little better than be-
fore. II you do not already know "The Sum-" you
will find it to be mirror Of all human activity a
storehouse of the choicest products Of common
sense and imagination, mainstay for the cause OF
honest government, sentinel for genuine Jeffer-
sonian Democracy, scourge for wickedness OF
every species, and an uncommonly good investmen,

tubers without cutting, afterward thin
ming out all the plants in the hill TO
single one.
Always select good ears of corn for
seed--the best you can find. Take
them from stalks, bearing two or more
ears. "a perfect ear, says the timer
tcan AgricultwiSt, "has all rows per-
feet, small butt end, the cob well tip
ped out with grain, and covered with
husks, the kernel uniform and well
ripened." The careful selection of ears
is one of the ways of improving the
quality and increasing the quantity Of
future crops.
Ground mllet seed is excellent feed
for hogs. 1t has nutritive ratio of
1:5. 4-that is, 1 of albumnoids to 5,4
carbohydrate. This is good fatten-
ing ration, and it will depend upon the
relative price Of corn. Half millet and
half corn, ground fire, will make bet
ter ration than corn alone. The pork
will have better proportion Of lean
and the pigs will be healthier while
fattening. Ground millet viii be found
very appropriate food for growing
young pigs giving them larger and
more muscular frame.
A large fowl will make more meat
than small one, but requires longer
period in which to mature. Early
maturity in hens is Of more impor-
lance than size or weight of carcass.
Sorghum seed Of the amber-canc
variety is sold readily at 65 cents per
bushel, and at this price it will pay
all expenses of tue crop. 1t weighs
nearly or quite 60 pounds per bus bel.
A Montreal dealer ships tomatoes
to England, where they bring good
prices. The taste for tomatoes has
been acquired, but the English eli
mate will always be too cold for them
to ripen.
Scottish eggs are caused by de-
ficiency of lime. Oyster shells are
composed of carbonate of lime, and
serve as "grit" in grinding the food
as well as for material for forming
the shell.
Fowls need gravel, oyster shells
and some green foods. When in
confinement these substances should
not be overlooked. A head Of cab
bage or an onion or two will always
be highly relished.
In manuring fruit trees the cherry
should receive lighter application
than most other kinds. 1t is not
benefited by much stable manure, but
can be top dressed with ashes or any
thing containing pot ash, almost with
out stint All stone fruit, especially
those that are acid, need liberal doses
Of potash.
Vegetables, like grain, seem to pass
through a sweating process when
placed in a heap, which guides those
storing them in large quantities to be
careful of the temperature of the eel
lars and store-houses in which they
are kept. They need not only tenn
peratnre suitable, but also more or
less ventilation in the heap.
The New Hampshire Mirror and
Farmer recommends that fine salt be
sifted over cattle from head to tail
about this time, and again later in
the season, as remedy against lice.
About pint to each animal is suffi
cient. A correspondent who tried
the remedy selected a few animals
for experiment with the salt, and
omitted its use on others, and the
result was that those that were sailed
were free of lice, while those not SO
treated were lousy.
