| A contributor of the Home and Farm
says that during the last twenty years
he has greatly reduced the cost of fenc-
ing on his farm, and has come to the
conclusion that half the money spent
for fences is wasted. He has saved the
most from reducing the amount of inside
fencing. His farm contains ninety
acres, and he has thrown sixty of it into
one field, and has not turned an animal
on it for twenty years. The writer says:
Il have found it easier to keep this land
up to high state of productiveness than
if had pastured it. / rely largely on
clover to fertllize it, and in most sea-
sons, by not pasturing after harvest, I
can get as heavy growth of clover as
| those farmers who pasture their young
clover after harvest do in the following
June. l consider that this land grows
three crops in every two years, for get
one OF corn and one of wheat, and
clover crop which grows after the wheat
worth, on an average, as much in pro-
portion to cost as the grain crops.
find this land is improving under this
rotation. The idea that all the land on
the farm must be pastured, and every
fence made hog tight, has cost our farm
ers millions of dollars
The writer recommends, if the farmer
wishes to have some clover pasture, or
to pasture portion of his large field,
that he get good portable fence. With
this he can temporarily fence off por-
tions of his field. Clover managed in
this way will not only benefit the land
more, but also will furnish more feed
than if always kept cropped short. The
best grasses for early pasture are blue
grass, orchard grass and red-top. These
all start early, and grow rapidly in the
cool, moist weather of spring; they are
not much injured by tramping, and will
bear heavy stocking early, if the stock
can be turned off as hot, dry weather
approaches, and this will give them a
chance to grow up again for fall pasture.
The portable fence gives an opportuni-
ty to fence off portions of the pasture
to have chance to grow while the cat
tie are feeding on other portions, or on
some corner of clover patch.
To the farmer who has always kept
his farm fenced in permanent fields, the
plan seems difficult, but any one who
tries it will be pleased with it, and
would not 60 back to the fence plan if
he could do it at no expense. The
work of keeping fence-rows clean and
fences in order, and the loss of the use
of land occupied by the fences, foot up

Some Points About Feet.
San Ernncisco Chronicle.


don't believe that it is when wo-
man has a small foot that she wants to
show it just little. l am open to Sc
rious correction, but there seems to be
quite satisfaction to woman in know
ing that she has pretty foot, and
woman has way anyhow of believing
everybody knows what she knows unless
it be a secret. Then she never believes
that anybody else knows it even if she's
told by them dozen times. But when
a woman has a small foot and has had
it all her life, and known it and been
told about it for twenty years. beg
pardon, no lady is ever over that age,
say ten years-she gets so accustomed
to it that it ceases to be piece even OF
her vanity. It's the woman with the
long foot and the high instep that wants
to show them. The high instep some
times goes before a fall, and that's why
people with high insteps are always said
to have plenty of pride. When woman
has succeeded in pinching a big foot in
to very small shoe she does not pro-
pose that all that trouble is to be gone
to and all that agony suffered for moth
ing. So she always makes it point of
having it displayed somehow. l beg
pardon of the ladies for thus drawing
attention to something I have no busi-
ness with. l think the rudest thing l
ever heard of was what one of the papers
said about Mrs. Langtry, that after one
of her scenes several of the ladies threw
flowers at her feet. Mobbing her was
all very we'll, but throwing flowers at
her feet was carrying things too far, and
an outrage. Did you ever see woman
try on pair of shoes7 You have! Then
you're either married or engaged in a
shoe store, l hope.
She had lovely foot and her visitors
were admiring it. They were ladies OF
course. A man who is not shoemaker
dares not mention such thing unless
they are alone in dim corner OF the
drawing-room where nobody can over
hear.
'What beautiful foot you have, dear?'
sYes; pa says when we go to Europe
he'll have bust of it made. Song!

The Summer Girl.
Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
The time for the summer girl is at
hand. 1 mean the girl who snaps her
fingers at satins and disdains to put on
silks. The one who doesn't try to rob
the birds of their plumage to put on her
hat until it looks like the show window
of millinery store. 1 mean the girl
who believes in white and in the lawns
that look like what Mr.. Bulwer calls the
pavilions of the sky-in other words
clouds. There are girls who are afraid
to put on this attire outside of their own
homes. They look we'll enough there
but are too careful when they 60 out on
the street. The summer girl, as rule,
is pretty, independent and charming
sort of a creature. A white dress, or
something equally cool in appearance,
with a ribbon around the waist and silk
mitts-half- handlers, I think they call
them-and chip hat of some sort, with
Just enough trimming on it to look like
a sample, parasol that is light and airy
these are articles which the summer
girl delights in and is not afraid to wear.
Such a girl makes man feel cool. She
gets the seat in the car. She is asked
to have two dishes of ice-cream where
the girl in silk is never asked to have
one. She gets the bargain at the coun-
tiers, and she will win money at the races
this week. The summer girl is not as
many as she ought to be. But wherever
she is she is attractive and adorable, and
it was just this sort of girl which
prompted the poet to write
On nothing fairer upon the earth,
The sun or the moon looks down;
She's as sweet and as fresh the morning breeze
The girl in the muslin gown.

She Tried to Draw Him Out.
Boston Record.


Il am going to have the celebrated
Prof. Won Dunkelheim at the reception
tonight said Mrs. Marlborough Cre.
sus to Mrs. Sharpe; 'he's great acqui-
sition-so very profound and learned,
you know-but he won't talk. Nobody
has succeeded in making him talk. If
there's anybody at Newport that can
draw him out, my dear, it's you, and l
want you to try your skill on him.
whats his specialty?'
Butter (That was what Mrs. Sharpe
understood Mrs. Marlborough Croesus
to say.)
Butter? Why, that's a queer fad for
a learned Professor. But I'll do my
best
That evening, at the reception, Mrs.
Sharpe opened out bravely upon Prof.
Won Dunkelheim at the first opportunity.
'As we were driving out on the island
this afternoon, Professor, said she, Il
saw some of the most beautiful herds
OF Jersey COWS that | have ever seen in
my life.'

'And at one place the cows beyond
the fence contemplated us with such
gentle, tender eyes and such soulful
moos that for moment l forgot their
lions. But after all, I thought, it is not
! Eor .hei- beauty that ohould value
them, but for the butter they produce.
sUm.'
Mrs. Sharpe ratified on about the COWS
for a conversational mile or two without
drawing out any response from the Pro-
fessor. 1T is because he thinks don't
know anything about the way butter is
made that he won't talk, thought Mrs.
Sharpe. well, I will convince him
that do know something about it. >
And she proceeded to discuss the cream
cry methods in vogue in Vermont, with
an infinite deal of talk about coolers and
temperature and mechanical butter
workers, and so on. She hadn't cram
med on the subject all the afternoon for
nothing.
But not word could she get out OF
the Professor beyond 'Um' and 'Ah.
He was plainly very much bored and
edged away after awhile. Mrs. Sharpe
was in despair.
Presently Mrs. Marlboroug h Cresus
got her into corner and said:
sWhy, what in the world do you NEAR
by talking forever to Prof. Won Dunkel
l.eim about cows and creameries and al
that sort of thing?
isn't that his speciality Didn't you
tell me so?'
sWhy, never in the world!'
'What is it then for heavens sakeF
'Buddha, of course. He's writer
any number of books about Buddhism.
There is marked GOODNESS now be
tween Mrs. Sharpe and Mrs. Marlbor
ough Crosus. Mrs. Sharpe says that ;

Care of the Finger Nails.
Cleveland Plaindealer.

In order to have pretty looking hand
the finger-nails must be kept in good
shape. They should never be cut too
short, as this deforms the finger ends
and renders them stubby. They should
always protrude triAe beyond the ex-
tremity of the finger, and be pared only
to slight curve, without encroaching
too much on angles. To preserve the
half moon or lunula, which borders the
lower part of the nail, and is thought a
great beauty, the skin must be kept from
encroaching upon it by pushing it back
every morning with blunt ivory instru
ment. By this means the annoying
hangnail will be prevented also. Filing
or scraping the nails is very injurious
as it tends to thicken their substance
The nail brush should alone be used to-
cleaning and polishing the nails.

Cherished Hopes.
BY CHAS. II. GABRIEL.

Cherished hopes of long ago
Ye have vanished like dream,
Ye have faded like the dew
Meath the mornings ruddy beam;
Long watched the castles grand,
AS they rose before my eye,
But as years have rolled along
They have faded from my sky.
Cherished hopes and youthful dreams,
That have long before me stood,
AS near the tabled strand
Why thus vanish in food?
l have hoped to reach thy land,
And enjoy thy peace at last,
But 1 find thee dead and gone,
And thy radiance is past.
Cherished hopes of long ago,
Ye have left me all alone,
l had hoped to climb thy mount
All my longings to atone;
But, alas like as a dream,
Ye have vanished from my sight,
Only in the future thou
Dost appear so true and bright.
Cherished hopes will fade away,
They are castles in the air;
--Th III aY tl, in distance .oply. shine.=

'Meanness is often confounded with
economy, and generosity with waste,
but they are far apart. Meanness is the
fruit of fmiserliness and selfshness. Econ
omy is the fruit of the noblest idea of
generosity and unselfshness. An eco
nomical person saves on ribbons and
gewgaws 10 have suplus for bene6cence
and unselfish purposes. Economy is
duty; meanness is sin. There is no
true generosity that is detached from
economy. The following conversation,
overheard between two women on
horse car, illustrates very popular idea
of so-called 'meanness.'

something, and she never lays out a

Il declare, hate such stinginess.
What do you suppose makes her SO
miserly2' .
The cause of Mrs. ks so-called
'miserliness is gwen in the following
extract lately taken from paper pub
lished in the city in which she lives:
sMrs. H. L. c. has just given ten
thousand dollars to the fund being rails
ed for the Orphans Home in this city.
The same generous and noble minded
lady has also given ten thousand dollars
towards an institution for the education
of poor boys and girls. Her constant
charities in other directions are said to
be very large.
