After the detective and Jockey Todd were

FARM AND FlREsIpE,

BE careful not to put too much Paris
green on the potato vines. A tea
spoonful in fifty quarts of water, ap-
piled twice during the season, good
authorities claim is sufficient.
Graham Pudding: One cupful of
molasses, two cupfuls of graham -four,
one teaspoonful of soda, one cupful of
sweet milk, one cupul of raisins, seeded
and chopped. Steam for three hours
and eat with Kentucky sauce.-Good
Housekeeping.
Cherry Pudding: One teacup of
cream, one of sweet milk, one egg, one
teaspoonful of soda, one teacup of
seeded cherries and flour to make a
batter, add the fruit last. Bake in a
buttered dish, and serve with sugar
and cream.
Many a good crop is almost ruined
by neglecting to harvest it at the
proper time. Corn fodder becomes dry
and weather-eaten if allowed to re-
main too long in the field. Oats, buck
wheat, rye and other grain crops waste
very ripe if allowed to stand after they
are ripe.
Timothy is a good grass, yet it
stools but little, thus showing plainly
that to keep it we'll in the ground and
to protect it from upheavel by frost, it
should be grown with such other
grasses. as will come on we'll to the hay
harvest and also form good sod.
1t Is the verdict of many who have
had experience that it is throwing
away money to doctor hogs already af-
flicted with swine plague. The ounce
of prevention is better than the pound
of cure.-Wester7s Swineherd.
Farmers should consider that corn
is not proper food for young stock.
1t will fatten them, but does not en-
courage growth. A young animal
should be made to secure bone and
heavy frame, not fat. It can be fat
tened after maturity. It is simply
wasteful to feed corn to young stock.
| The clover should not be over
looked. For pasture the white clover
may be advantageously used. For a
grass crop to be moved, and the ground
used for corn after the sod is turned
under, red clover has no equal. On
light soils it may be seeded in the fall.
and on heavy soils in the spring, on
grain land.
Mutton should be as plentiful as
pork. There arc hundreds of farms
thnt could be devoted to sheep, but
which are now Improbable. 1t re-
quires less labor for sheep than for
hogs, while the prices for choice NUT
| ton and lamb are at times very high,
though the markets at such times may
be we'll supplied with inferior grades
of carcasses.
For grape butter, stew the grapes
and squeeze out each pulp from the
skin, removing the seeds; keep the
skins in q small, thin bag; to each
pound of pulp allow one pound of SUI
gar, half pint of cider vinegar, tea
spoonful of cloves, one of cinnamon
and one of nutmeg; boil this slowly,
putting in the bag of skins, tied secure
ly; when it jellies by dropping in cold
water it is done. Put away in jars.
For an ornamental dish it can be heated
yer and put into molds to jelly.

SERVICEABLE FENCING,
Description of n New Plan of Building q
Old STYLE Fence.

Description of n New Plan of Building an
Old Style Fence.
AS every farmer is more or less inter-
ested in fencing, will describe a new
kind of fence, or rather a new plan OF
building an old style of fence, that a
number of our farmers are building.
In order that no one will think he
might get himself into trouble by build
ing such fence, will add that man
in the neighborhood applied to the
department for a patent nearly year
ago, but his claim was rejected on the
lack of novelty. 1t is in reality an old
style of fence, the only change being
that barbed wire staples are used in
the place of nails as in the old plan.
There are two advantages connected
with it. One of these is, all kinds OF
rails can be used, and that without any
extra work of trimming or getting
them ready. 1t takes up but little
room and is easily built. The posts
should be set in line, the distance apart
being determined by the length of the
rails, eight for eight-foot rails and far
ther if longer rails are used. A sup
ply of No. IL wire and also of barbed
wire staples should be secured.
After the posts are set, two are neces-
sary to put up the fence to any thing
like good advantage. Commence at
the bottom of the post and staple the
end of the wire as close as you want the
first rail to the ground. Lay in the
rail between the wire and the post,
then pull the wire on the outside of the
rail, and staple to the post again. Then
put in another rail and then staple the
wire to the post again, and so on until
the desired height is reached. A panel
should be laid up at the time. Some
put the end of one rail on the outside
of one post and on the inside of the
other, while others put all of one panel
on the outside, and all of the next on
the inside. The latter plan is the best,
for tho reason that if any of the rails
should happen to be a little longer than
the others, the ends will stick out too
far. The old style of building this
pan VI lcllCc w do w ltoo 11llS lIlSUcttu Ol
staples, driving them into the posts not
quite up to the head, and then giving
the wire a twist around the head. The
staples are better and easier to use, and
do good work. Where there is a supply
of old rails that it is desired to utilize,
a very good fence can be put up in this
way, and one that will not occupy much
room, and at the same time be effective.
The claim is made that it is an easy
fence to repair. If any of the rails rot
or get broken, being in a place by itself
it can be taken out and a new one SUBJ
stituted. Less wire is required than
with the old style of rail fence, and in
many cases by purchasing wire, staples
and posts, good fence can be made
out of an old one.-Cor. Farm, Field
and Stockns an.

JOCKEY TODD.
How He Showed His Heart to
Leona as Plain as Day.

OOShOs 1Ouu Was always SenI WIN MS
pair OF bays on the perilous journey of the
torpedo-man. He was in the employ of a
torpedo company, and it was his business to
take the ro-glycerine to the oil well, pour
the fluid into the long cylindrical shell,
lower it to the rock, and drop upon the cap
the weight that would release the explosive
to read the petroleum stratum.
One day on the Custer road he gave the
bays the whip. They broke into wild run,
and the Obstetrics have vivid memory of
Jockey TOdd's dash through the town. He
came down the main street like whirlwind.
and they held their breath, waiting for the
explosion. As he rushed upon them they
lived an age. But Jockey Todd sat on the
box as care.essly as if he were winning a
race in a walk. In the post-office door stood
a girl Of twenty. She had run out of the
street to avoid .::.e team. She had hardly
time to turn around before the bays shot
past. yet her quick eyes noted the calmness of
the man at the lines. i'Oh!" she cried, ssthe
SaDdyw
The Sandy was only small mountain
stream that flowed into the Tuna, but the
bridge had been torn up for repairs. The
plunge into that narrow ditch would be
fatal beyond doubt to the driver, and he did
not seem to know about it
The spectators, fascinated, could not fee.
Their hearts beat hard and their eyes pro-
Iected as they looked for the explosion. The
bays cleared the ditch, and the wagon diyed
into it. The Obstetrics could not believe
their eyes, for there on the ground stood the
driver, unharmed. and away down the road,
with the wagon tongue humping on the
ground between them, the bays were run
ming at full speed toward Hartford.
Every spectator shouted and ran to the
bridge Leona Jervis went with the crowd,
and when she saw Jockey Todd coolly
answering questions she fell in love with
him. Noticing her, he remembered that he
had seen her in the post-ofice door, and he
smiled as he recalled her frightened look
Meeting his gaze, she biushed. and his smile
quickly gave place to scoSyl. Daring al
ways, he strobe to where she stood, and
asked in q harsh tone:
"Did you think to seea man in bits, blowed
in every direction by the glycer'n'!"
ssNo; I come hopin' to see him clear the
ditch as easy as he come to it''
81 ask your pardon My name is Todd
Hiram Todd"
s.And mine is Leona Jervis; I live there, u
pointing to house on the hill above the
Tuna
From that impulsive beginning the ac-
quaintance OF Jockey Todd and Leona Jer-
Wis ripened into mutual affection
Some days after this, Jockey Todd pulled
mp the bays as hewas passing Leona's home
She was getting breakfast for her brother
Grip.
When Jockey Todd was leaving, Leona
threw her arms around his neck and said ::
aGive it up. Hiram; am so afraid all the

aIwin, Leona. I will never drink AGAR. ~
But that was an evasion. She clung to
him tighter, and pleaded: 20, Hiram. I
can't let you go back to it. The terrible
