FARM NOTES,

Posts FOR WIRE FENCEs.-Here in
the West this subject is daily becoming
more important. In the first place this
is not a timber country. We have no
post timber; cottonwood and willow are
about all our variety, and both are soft
woods. So we import our posts ready
sawed out, and get red or whitecedar
at 1S TO 20c. each, but these are not
what an Eastern farmer would consider
durable, as our soil is wet at such sea-
sons as are most conducive to rotting or
posts. Gradually we are settling down
to the conviction that live posts are the
best, as they never rot, or blow down.
We have only to put up heavy corner
posts well braced two ways, and then
every thirty-two feet set In cuttings six
feet long and two or three inches in
diameter about a foot deep. Cotton
woods or willows thus set out are sure
to grow. To keep off fire We plow three
or four burrows each side OF the
fence and fresh plow the strip every
fall. Such fence soon makes a shade
for the stock, and animals thus the
sooner get used to the barbs.

THE crystals of butter and animal
fats differ very materially when shown
under the microscope. The former are
much in the shape of the st. Andrew IS
cross, and the greater or less number of
crystals of that form found in the pa
tent buffers will inform those familiar
with the microscope of the exact pro-
portion of butter in the sample under
glass.

The green color which sometimes af-
fccts American as well as European
oysters has formed the subject of late
special investigation by microscopes
at the Smithsonian Institution. He
finds that it is the minute blood cells
which become tinged with green, and
that these tend to lodge in the heart
and the gills in numbers great enough
to give green appearance. The color
ing matter, which may be vegetable, or
an abnormal product of digestion, is
entirely harmless, and in no wise due to
a copper tincture, as is popularity sup
posed.

THE liquid yielding Of animals is
worth more than-good authorities say
one-sixth more-pound' for pound than
the solid excrements, and are saved
with greater care by the best European
farmers and gardeners. All the leaks
in the stable are not in the roof; those
in the floor are quite as Objectionable,
and are the cause of a great deal of
waste.

Noticing that the little spiders which
live in flowers and prey upon various
insects are sometimes yellow and some
times white, Mr.. James Angus suspec-
ted that their color changes to cores
pond with that of the flower in which
they may be making their home. Ex-
pertinent proved this TO be so, white
spiders being found TO turn yellow in
two or three days after being placed on
a sun1ower. This change in color of
course adds to the facility of these crea-
lures in concealing themselves from
their intended prey.

The last alleged discovery is that
there are horned men in Africa. A
Captain J. 5. Hay recently read pa
IN before the British Association in

and exhibited sketches of them. He
thought that they belonged to the class
of maiformations Of which there was a
noted example in the case of the ''por-

various parts of his body. 1t was re-

SCIENTIFIC.

The first arc lights used IN the SER
vice of the streets in our cities were OF
the double pattern, that Is, were proyl-
ded with two sets or carbOns and me-
chanism for shifting the current into
the second when the first set had burn
ed out. The considerations which have
led to a general change in this regard
are interesting, as showing the singular
items OF expense and the closeneSs with
which accounts are figured. The state
was made at the recent conYen-
ton of electrical managers IN Baltl-
more. s.ad may be assumed TO include
in its provisions nearly all patterns Oh
arc lamps: Single lamps with larger
carbons, even when they must be re-
trimmed during service, are more econ
omical than the duplex lamps. Tbs
globes used on the latter are more eX-
pensive and are more frequently broken.
The unequal expansion produced by
heating the side adjacent TO the arc,
and the sudden change in temperature
from the shifting of the arc TO the other
side, always lead to this result in dou-
bic lamps. The loss on them in this
direction alone would almost pay Tor
The extra service of retrimming simple
lamps. Moreover, owing TO the crowd
ed condition OF the box of the duplex
lamp, it IS more apt to get out Of order,
and, for the same reason, is difficult
TO readjust; and, as carbonS are not uni
form IN their lasting qualities, the loss
from burnt holders reaches its maxi
mum where this lamp is used.
