ABOUT FENCES Poor fences always
beget unruly animals, which result In
damaged crops and general loss. The
judicious planning and laying out OF
fields will be found a great saving.
Often fully double the number OF rods
of fence Is supported than Is absolutely
required. Sometimes two or three
fl Ids are kept for moving, when by the
Encouragement Of the fences all might
be converted into one meadow, and so
with fields used for grazing and plow-
ing. When the frost ZONES out of the
ground in the spring the earth becomes
soft and the strong winds cause the post
and board fences TO sway over, and at
times they need attention. Straighten
them with props and keep them in line
until the ground has become settled,
and they Will remain straight during
the season.

raised one or two crops for which the

WHes TO WATER A HORSE. Horses
should always be allowed to drink be-
fore being ted. The stomach OF a horse
is small in proportion to tho size OF his
frame. therefore he requires feeding Of
ten. and though three tunes q day Is
sufficient, four times Is better. Unlike
human beings, horses should drink be-
fore they eat, because, owing to the
conformation of the horse, water does
not remain in the stomach, but passes
through it into a large intestine called
the em ,um. II a horse be fed first the
water passing through the stomach will
be likely to carry with it particles OF
food and thus bring about colo. What
ever a groom may say, let a horse drink
inst as much as he likes. If he be wa
tered four times q day be will never
take very much, or too much to be
good fer him. A horse, it will be re-
membered, is fed Oh dry food, aud this,
with the strong work done by a hunter,

Did MIR. Cleveland Once Love?
lPhIladelphia Times Letter.l

philadelphia Times letter.
There is dim, shadowy fear among
the fair sex at the Capital that the
mythical Buffalo lady whom rumor has
betrothed to Mr.. Cleveland may turn
up at any time and carry off the prize,
but there Is the best authority for stat.
ing that the fear is groundIess. The
only woman the President ever loved
has been dead for more than twenty
years. The most authentic reports
have 1t that while quitea young man,
teaching school in Western New York
village, he met and loved young girl
not yet seventeen. They were engaged,
but the poverty of both parties pre-
vented marriage. The young teacher
made up his mind to 60 to Ohio for the
purpose of providing home for his be-
trothed, and was on the point of start
ing for the West when she fell sick,
and in less than week was carried to
her last resting place. There are no alb
solute proofs of the truth of this story.
The President: has never mentioned the
matter to his nearest friends, and the
source of information Is town gossip
handed down with perhaps the usual
variations and additions. Whether the
President has remained single out of ro-
mantle fidelity to the memory of his
youthful love, or wherher a bachelor
life is best suited to his incIinations, is,
ofcourse,a "a matter ofconjecture. Those
who know him best say he is too well
fixed in his old ways to change this late
day, and that no bride will be mistress

tHorcsster gNszs.) Special 10 New York SUM-
Hiram p. Bemis, tax collector, a
prominent church member and farmer
IN the neighboring village of. Paxton,
was victimized by three-card monte
men to-day. No. ! appeared with q
team representing himself as former
cashier in Worcester bank, now an
advertising agent, who wanted 10 nego-
tate for the erection Of signs on the
farmers land. While they were talk
ing No. 2 appeared on foot and Joined
nthe conversation, representing HIM
self to be drover. He told how he
lost 800 at Brighton the other day at q
game he didn't know, but illustrated
with three cards. No. i made several
bets, and every time picked the ''lady
card, as the farmer called 1t. Sudden
ly the cashier tore offthe corner Of the
sslady card" calling the farmers atten-
ton to the marking. Then another
wager was proposed, this time of s., 900,
the droyer producing the money. The
cashier had only 81 500, but the farmer
would make up the balance IL they
would wait until he could come to the
city. So the cashier brought the farmer
to the city, the amount was drawn from
the bank, and on the return the drover
was waiting. The marked card was
still there. The cashier held the stakes;
the farmer drew for the ''lady card, y
but the lady was gone. The drover
demanded the stakes. The cashier re-
monstrated, but gave them up at the
muzzle of a pistol. Then the cashier
said he would make the drover give up
the money In the city, and the farmer
gave him authority to proceed. Half
an hour later it dawned upon the
farmer that he had been swindled, but
no trace or the operators has been dis
covered.
