SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

The August number of this valuable
Tennessee agricultural journal is before
us, and we find it, as usual, replete
with choice reading matter for the far
mer and his household. We are not
going to tell our readers they ought to
take Southern Industries because it is
a home publication, but on account of
its valuable reading matter. This ag-
ricultural book or journal is published
in Nashville, monthly, at So 90 per
annum in advance. We wrote Maj.
Saunders, its editor, that we would be
glad to see Southern Industries read by
every family in the State. He has in
formed us that we can club it with the
STANDARD at 81 90. AS nearly all
our readers are regular subscribers for
the STANDARD, we propose to furnish
Southern industries 10 all our readers
at 81 90 per annum in advance, with
3 cents to pay for remittance, Every
farmer should take at least two or three
good agricultural papers. Southern
Industries, at the price we offer it to
the readers of the STANDARD, is very
low, and but little, if any, above ac>
tual cost of publication. We desire to
see the farmers supplied with good ag-
ricultural papers. By calling at this
Office, or writing to Southern Industries,
Nashville, Tenn, you can see or get a
sample copy.

THE MAD STONE.

The little daughter of M. B. Har-
we'll was taken to r.IGreen Fletcher's
again last Saturday and the mad stone
applied to another bitten place which
was overlooked on the Tuesday before,
and to which the stone adhered about
an hour and three quarters.
Since this mad stone has been in Mr..
Fletchers possession it has been applied
to % different persons, and no signs of
hydrophobia have developed in any of
them since, the stone proving effectual
in every case. The stone will adhere
to no other kind of wound but poison
Gus bites, and when applied to such
wounds it cannot be pulled loose with
out tearing the flesh until it has accom-
plished its work. When the stone
drops from a..wound it islput into pan
of warm water, where it fries and sim
mers as if hot for about five minutes
and is then ready for use again. The
stone will never adhere to the same
wound the second time. The time
which it adheres varies according to
the severity of the bite. This stone is
smooth and black in appearance, about
II inches long, 4 of an inch wide, and
3 of an inch thick. The circumstan>
ces under which Mr.. Fletcher procured
the stone are as follows: Some six or
seven years ago be had son farming
in Virginia, who was taken down sick
at harvest time and Mr.. Fletcher went
to Virginia with his team to gather his
sons crop. On his return home he
fell in with a family travelling over
land 70 Texas. On reaching Mr..
Fletcher's house in Coffee county, this
family stopped over with him for sew
eralldays, and on leaving, ladyi in the
family, who had two of the stones,
made Mrs. Fletcher present of one
of them. Mrs. Fletcher has been
offered $500 for the stone, but refuses
to part with it at any price. They
make no charge whatever for its use.

Wheeler, A. D. Wheeler,J. B. Ritchey,
j, r. Groves, James Webb, E. 7.
Drake and w. D. Smart. To the
above list of delegates were added all
the officers and committees of the asso-
citation.
After the association was organized,
Col. j. II. French was called on to adj
dress the meeting, which he did in a
few very interesting and appropriate
remarks. His speech was principally
about fine stock, their value when com.
pared with common stock, and the i'm
portance of breeding with a view of
continually improving stock. One very
important idea advanced by the speaker
was, that in selling off our surplus
stock we should always sell the inferior
and keep the best. Many farmers sell
the best because it brings more money.
We should keep the best and continue
by judicious breeding to make every
cross better and better.
After the speaker closed his remarks
the convention adjourned to meet at
the courthouse at 10 o'clock a. m. on
the first Monday in September, at
which time it is hoped there will be a
large number of farmers present.
AS the fare on the railroads has been
reduced to half rates for delegates to
the Farmers Association to meet in
Nashville September 18th, we hope a
good delegation will be present from
all parts of the State. Let all go who
can.

FENCES.

To the Standard.
eve have more fences than are
profitable. The fences on many good
farms are o great tax on the owners.
1t is senseless and expensive custom"
The fences On the farms of the United
States cost more than all the farm
houses and buildings; and the
fences, costing such immense sums of
money, must, in general, be renewed
every fifteen years. No fences are alb
solutely essential, except those about
pasture lands and grain fields, except
few hundred rods of movable fence
that can be set anywhere on short no.
tice. Division fences for many reasons
are unmitigated nuisances. A great
objection to them is, they cost too much
money. They also occupy good land,
and harbor weeds and briars and YER
min; they are in the way of cultivat-
ing and harvesting our crops, and the
sooner we stop building them the bet
ter. We do not say tear down good,
new fences, but build no more except
extra high and strong ones around your
pasture and grain lands. We think it
bad policy to pasture grain lands.
Heavy stock packs the land and nearly
destroys its fertility.
A good post ond plank fence costs
% cents per yard, barbed wire fence
20 cents, and where stone is plenty and
handy, good stone fence costs forty
and fifty cents per yard. The first two
fences must be renewed every fifteen
years. When we bought the farm on
which we now live there was mile or
more of cross fences on it. At % cents
per yard the rebuilding of it would
cost three hundred and ninety dollars.
This, at compound interest for fifteen
years, would amount to nine hundred
and thirty dollars. In addition to cross
fence, with its weeds, briars and YER
min, occupied three acres of excellent
corn land, and with ordinary cultiva,
ton would produce thirty barrels o.
corn, worth forty-iye dollars, after de
Quoting five dollars for cultivation o.
each acre. In fifteen years this would
amount to six hundred and seventy.6vt
dollars more. Thus it will be seer
that if were to replace the fence i
would cost me 81, 800 in the next ff
teen years. The supposed convenience
and profit of the cross fences woult
never repay this large loss. l coul'
not afford to have them rebuilt if don
for nothing. l would even resist tn
attempt with shot guns.
In China and other parts of Asi
fences are seldom seen. On the Con
necticut river farmers have found
profitable to dispe nse with fences.
We can stand on our homestead an
see seven thousand dollars worth G
fence made to secure the crops of tn
owners against half dozen fifteen do
lar cows which infest our lanes, an
reel with poverty on the scanty gra'
and mullen to be found therein. BIZ
this is free country, and where else
the poor man to pasture his COW an
find the aforesaid mullen. Trul
farming is a great business where it ca
stand such drains on its resource
Down with every rod Of unnecessar
fence. E. L. GARDENHIRE.

Family OF Cranks.

OMAHA, July 23.-On one of the hills
south OF OMAHA lives a family of father
and mother and seven children. They
reside In neat and ordinary looking
cottage. which is somewhat isolated
from its ueighbors, being on cross
street as vet but spafseiY built up. In
this house the man and wife have lived
alone for neatly ten years, aud al their
children have been born here More
than that, they hsve never been permit.
ted to see the outside world at all and
neither parents nor children have ever
stirred outside Of the house except at
night, when they occasionally walk out
in the dark of the moon They have
dealt steadily Tor ten years with one
grocer, who furnished their supply Of
meat and fuel as we'll as Of provisions,
and it was from him that pointer was
obtained under promise of secrecy H.
sends the supplies up In the evening
and they are taken in through widow
IN the rear Of the house, SO that he has
never seen any OF the family. The bill
is paid regularly once month and there
seems to he no lack of money to sup
port the family, who never kick about
bills.
Another curious freak Of this curious
outfit is that they keep coffin in the
house for each member OF the family,
and order new one rs It is incre ased
in number. These cofflls are procured
from some point il the East, and are
all of the size for adults, 80 that they
will be large enough whether the owner
dies at an early age or maturity They
are stored in the attic Of the cottage,
and are kept ready for use at all times.

w Governer Foster, in his dislike
for the Germans, which is continually
cropping out in spite Of his efforts to
keep it back, Is in exact accord with a
large humber OF his political friends. s.
There is an antagonism which certainly
does the German no discredit. Many
of Governor Fosters party are more
outspoken about German tyranny. He
is prudent and cautious, and yet can not
avoid giving voice to that antagonism
which exists between the remains of Pu-
ritan ideas and the German element
1t is an antagonism which lies back OF
the liquor question. That has really
very little to do with it. The German
in America came here to e cape the ap
plication of precisely such views as
Governor Foster and his party advocate
and press forward whenever they can
and dissemble when they meet with de
feat.
