Barbed Wire Fences.

Steel wire in omeofits many forms
is becoming, in certain quarters, the
fencing material for farms and rail
roads, and even for garden and lawn.
Some of the points claimed in favor
of this new fence are cheapness,
durability, ease Of shipment of the
and indestructibility by or
binary fires, like those arising from
sparks Of a passing locomotive. The
barb shoald be short, with keen
point, standing at right angles to the
wire. Some have advocated a dull
point as more humane, but the sue.
cess of the barb in turning stock re.
sides in its sharp point. Often ami
mails have been injured and even
killed by wire fences. and all need to
be introduced to this form of barrier
A colt, or COW, that has once beer
pricked by the barbs, will keeI
at a safe distance from the fence
Most of the damages has been done
by the animals running upon tn,
wires without seeing them. A stril
of board may be nailed from post t
post, near the top, to make the fenc,
more conspicuous. The ribbon wir
is more easily seen than the rount
form, but experience has laugh
that it is less durable. Now durip,
the winter is a good time to look int
this important matter Of barbed-wh'
fences. American Agriculturist 70

All kinds Of food for man and beast
should be eeonomized at once and
increasingly, and ample provision
made for early crops Of vegetables,
cereals, and other food crops other
wise we shall lose all the advantages
gained in better prices Of our great
staple, and we shall have the mortl-
fcation of seeing many Of our plan
tiers again enslayed by mortgages,
liens, bonds, etc.
The best thing to plant now is the
red russet-proof oats Of the South.
Sown early, it is a never-failing crop.
MANY have not found time to SOW in
September, October and November !;
and hence they cannot have the great
benefit of these oats for winter pas
ture. They may, however, be sown
now, and on, till the first Of March.
The sooner the better; the later the
less certainty Of a heavy crop. Once
indeed, had very heavy yield of
grain, but rather short stems from
oats sown in March. This however,
was a single exception in the expe-
perience Of over 40 years, and
resulted from popularity Of season
mainly, but in part from special con-
dition Of the land.
All oats sown i'll winter should be
plowed in three or fQur inches deep.
| If the ground could be plowed and
narrowed once or twice before sowing,
the extra labor and expense would
be amly compensated by the vastly
increased yfeid Of grain and straw.
If the ground is well prepared before
planting, and the seed plowed in, the
harrow need not follow. For if clay
be superabundant, and the surface Of
the field made very smooth, winter
rains followed by drouth, will crust
the ground and damage the crop.
If, however, the ground cannot have
proper preparation before planting,
the harrow must be used in finishing
up the planting, and the rougher
the pillow leaves the land, the heavier
must be the harrow and it may be
necessary to harrow more than once,
aid in different directions across the
field.
If the land is not rich, or if it lacks
nitrogenised material, use stable
manure or other fertilizer containing
nitrogen. Cotton seed make an ex-
celIent manure for oats In the late
fall and winter they may be applied
green. They should be scattered
broadcast at the rate of % to 1O(
bushels per acre, according to the
needs of the land; then oats sowI
two bushels or more per acre, ant
all plowed in together.
Land Will generally produce twic
as much bushels as Of outs Of corn pc
acre, up'to 80 bushels per acre of tn
former. More than this quantit
per acre of oats may be readily prc
4 duced, but in practice it is not prof
/, able; for on passing this limit tn
r stems become too tall, and so man
fall down that extra labor isrequire
in harvesting, and much must niece
tarily be lost.

HOUSE. FARM AND GARDEN


From the Philadelphia Record.
The true farmer does not stop to
count the cost of improvement, for |
his reason prompts him to believe |
that he cannot 90 wrong by endeav-
oring TO improve. Every acre Of his
farm is cultivated to its highest ca
pacity, and his soil never deteriorates
in quality. He rotates his crops with
a view to increase fertility, and he
estimates his profits by the amount
of expense entailed in securing that
profit. The failure to realize immed-
late results does not discourage him,
for he knows that. through his judi
cious system Of cultivation, the reali
zation is but deferred for a little
while longer. He farms for profit
and he spends for profit. He knows
nothing Of stinted-economy, which
saves to-day and robs tomorrow.
The farm is his bank, his workshop
and his occupation, no stone being
left unturned, and no portion slight
ed mt the cost of another part.
4 good farm means good stock.
The squealing hog has no place on it,
but must be superseded by the quiet
thoroughbreds. The tanglefleeced e,
sma l-carcassod sheep cannot be al
lowed where only the merino, the
Cotswold and the Oxford down are
adapted. The scraggy bovines Of the
past are seen no more, for the deep
milking Holstein. the cream-giving
Jersey and the beefproducing Here
ford have occupied their places. The
thoroughbred and the Clydesdale
pillow the fields tina. formerly yielded
to wind-broken plugs, and the wagons
and implements are Of the most inn
proved and labor-saving patterns.
All this means capital and is expen-
sive but when we consider the fact
that it costs no more to keep the best
than the bad, and thatexpense means
profit in the end, the cost is not so
Formidable as it seems.
But the manure heap is the most
important ofall, A good farmer can
be selected by the manner in which
he keeps his manure. The manure
is the wcalth--the bank on which
the check is drawn-and it ii impru-
dent to neglect it. Drenching rains
and scorching suns carry upward and
downward the soluble and volatile
constituents ofthe unprotected heap,
and often great bitches are dug to
allow the black liquid riches to pass
off and away forever. But the good
farmer works differently. He makes
his manure fine, attends personally
to the process of decomposition, pro
tectsssit from the weather and endeav
ors to make it q ready food FIR the
crops when hauled to the fields
Farming pays wcll-to good farm
ers.

and John B, Elan spoke for the State. ana J. W.
Gordan and John W Duncan for the defense,
and at 4:3U O'Clock in the afternoon
Judge Norton gave his charge, which was
brief and to the point. On the first ballot
the jury stood eleven for conviction and one for
acquittal, and on the second a unanimous YER
dict of guilty was arrived at. The question of
adequate punishment was discussed for nearly
two hours, and the conclusion reached above in
dicated. The prisoner did not show any especial
agitation over the verdict but Major Gordon ex-
claimed Fundamentally, "My Cod this iuno-
cent man must be saved" He was granted time
in which to file a motion for a trial, and
Wachstetter was sent to jail. An appeal will
doubtless be taken to the Supreme Court, but
pending decision Wachstetter will be serving
his time. The punishment will be very hard
on him, especially, as he is man of considerable
wealth and confidently expected an acQuittal.

one night, as he was going home, after closing
