Cost Of Fencing.

The Miles River Farmers Club, at
its recent meeting, discussed the ques-
tion, "Shall we fence our farms? IF
so, what fence is cheapest and best?"
The subject was found to be too extern
sive to settle at one meeting, and most
OF the time was spent in discussing
two papers presented by members Of
the club on cost of fences and the rela.
tive expense Of different kinds.
The annual cost of building and re-
pairing fences in 1879 vas thirty-fve
cents an acre for the state of Maryland,
and thirty-two cents an acre for Talbot
county. Estimating the value at ten
times the annual cost, the fences on
farm of 200 acres of improved land
would be worth S640, and the annual
cost of maintaining them $l04. The
cost Of new board fence of best mater
ial on 200 acre farm would be about
81 1850, and the annual charge $3.50.
The old fashioned worm fence is too ex.
pensive to use at the present prices of
lumber. as it requires 14S feet of tim
ber to the rod, while the board fence
takes but thirty three feet. The value
of the fences of this county is S350,000,
and the annual charge of maintaining
them exceeds the entire county tax,
including the school tax.

1t is poor economy to keep three

Keep the best COWS, give them the best

A correspondent in the Jersey Bulletin
says one of his COWS gave milk which
would throw all the cream on the sur

the temperature of the room, while
another's milk required from twenty
four to thirty six hours to obtain the

AL cattle foods contain some salt,
from trace to about one-half of one
percent, and all spring water contains
salt which it teaches from the earth.
Common hay often contains 0.43 per
cent Of salt, clover hay 0.34, and cat
straw OH. But this is not sufficient
DR.. Englehardt says: eff we compare
the quantity of chloride of sodium, or
salt contained in the ash constituents of
the vegetable food of our farm stock,
with the amount that is found in the
ash of their blood, it will strike US per.
maps as something remarkable that the
quantity of salt in the latter-in the ash
of their blood-is always much greater
than in the former-the ash of their
food;" while the amount Of salt in their
urine compares more nelrly to that in
their food. Starving animal cease to
excrete salt, but retain it in the blood.
Hence it is concluded that "salt is alb
solutely necessary in the animal econ

The following extract is taken from
the Introductory paragraphs:
"A crime has been committed by an uns
known assassin, within short distance
of the principal streets of the great city,
and is surrounded by an impenetrable
mystery. Indeed, from the nature of the
crime itself, the place where it was COM
mitted, and the fact that the assassin has
escaped without leaving a trace behind
him, it would seem as though the case
itself had been taken bodily out of one
of Gaboreau's novels, and that his fam
GUS detective Lecocq only would be able
to unravel it. On the 27th day of July.
at the hour of twenty minutes to two
o'clock in the morning, a hanson cab
drove up to the police station. in Grey
street, st. Kilda, and the driver made
the startling statement that his cab con-
tanned the body of aman whom he had
reason to believe had been murdered"
The incidents are then described in de-
tail.

Chinese Torture By Famine.


Yesterday We visited the Che-hsien's
yamen in the city for tho purpose Of
inquiring into tho truth of the state.
ment that criminal was exposed in q
cage and was being therein starved
and tortured to death. Such an event
is OF rare occurrence in Shanghai City
Of recent years, and its revival by the
new district magistrate is somewhat
surprising. The unfortunate creature
stood upright in bamboo cage, about
five feet high, which his neck through
a cangue, by with he would have
been almost suspended-or, at least,
the tip OF his toes would barely have
touched the bottom of the cage-had
1t not been that some person had placed
q large stone under the mans feet.
By this his sufferings were greatly
relieved and his chances of death by
strangulation reduced. He did not
look particularly distressed in his
position amid the raillery and the jeers
of the spectators, who displayed an al
most fiendish delight in mocking his
state, to which he seemed not loath to
reply with interest, and a perfect fire
of abuse was kept up between the cruel
people and the wretched prisoner.
We learned that in the morning q
friend of his gave him some rice
and also prepared a pipe of opium
with which to .soothe his sufferings.
If this humane friend however, were
detected in his mereiful ministrations
by the authorities there is no doubt
that he would be punished severely,
perhaps even clapped into a similar
cage.
1t would seem that the yamen people
make no provision for providing the
prisoner while in the cage with any
kind of food, and that they also
direct dire threats against any one
who might give him any. The
man is described as desperate thief
and has been in prison ten years. His
last offense was stripping prisoners
OF their clothes and stealing every
thing else of the little that these
wretched beings possessed. His legs
are weighed down with heavy chains,
and, altogether, his torture in the hor-
rible contrivance gave a strong con-
tradiction to the belief that the Chi
nese are becoming more humane in
their judicial system. In no other
country in the world boasting of any
sort of civilization would such thing
be tolerated, and the worst feature Of
it is that the people generally applaud
the cruelty of the Che-hsien and have
no sympathy with the unfortunate
man. Our impression was that they
were much disappointed that the stone
was given to him, although they made
no attempt to remove it while we were
there, and they also denounced the
humanity of the man who fed him.

"Fitzgerald" gasped Moreland, growing
pale. "I-I-what's that" he shrieked, as
he saw Whyte's coat, all weather-stained,

mediately recognized.

said Kilsip, quietly, coming behind him,

Trapped, by CO" shouted the wretched
man, wheeling round, so as to face Kilsip.
He sprang at the detectives throat, and they
both rolled together on the floor, but tho
latter was too strong for him, and, after a
sharp struggle, he succeeded in getting the
handouts on Moreland's wrists The others
stood around perfectly quiet, knowing that
Kilsip required no assistance. Now that
there was no possibility Of escape, Moreland
seemed to become resigned, and rose sui
lenly of the floor. d,e5

The letter, however, was not to be found
In the desk, nor was it in the sitting room;
they tried the bedroom, but with no better
result; so Madge was nearly giving up the

fell on the waste paper basket, which by some
unaccountable reason they had overlooked in
their search.

look at Madge. "Ah, and he got tho letter

box, about seven feet high, with door
at the time open. Three patrolmen
stood there and in their custody were
two men; at these the now large and
constantly increasing crowd were gazing
with morbid curiosity, those farthest
away on tip-toe peering over the
shoulders Of those in front. The two
men under surveillance were an ugly
looking pair. The vehicle next arrived
and pushing the fiery bay horses, with
foaming bodies and dilated nostrils
through the crowd up to the point of at
traction, two patrolmen who had come
with the vehicle stepped out and handed
the two prisoners into the wagon; the
horses were whipped up, the vehicle dis
appeared, the rabble dispersed and the
excitement died out.
In another part Of the city, at mid
night, the same vehicle, with its glisten-
ing green body and red wheels stood
within a station house; four mettled
horses were in their stalls quietly MUNICH
ing the wisps Of hay in the racks; five
patrolmen sat, some reading, others
smoking or in quiet conversation. Sud-
denly an electric bell rings out clear in
the night an alarm, two of the powerful
horses prick up their ears, the doors in
front Of them open, they rush to the
front Of the wagon, where they are re.
ceived and harpessed by the men and ere
the echoes Of the electric bell die out,
the horses, vehicle and detail are rumb-
ling over the street en- route to the point
from which the alarm was sounded.
These are two instances in the conduct
Of the patrol-wagon service, the last val
uable acquisition to the metropolitan
police system, the introduction Of which
has done more to increase its efficiency
than most any other feature The po-
lice system in every large city is organ
lied as follows: A police court, sta
ton and various stations in the DIFF
ferent precincts into which the city Is
divided; a main force of patrolmen,
whose duties are to maintain strict
surveillance Of and constant order
throughout the street, and patrol wagon
service, which acts as q formidable ad-
junct to the main force. The police au-
thorities of Cincinnati are fully alive to
the importance of this service, and have
provided for an increase of its facilities
during the continuation Of the Cenien-
nial Exposition, at which time the Queen
City will be the center of attraction for
the world.
To describe the veteran service of the
regular patrol is only to add without
force to what has been so often and well
portrayed before; but at this time word
as to the new patrol-wagon service, the
ambulance service, and the surgeons
department, may not go without regard.

forcement can be obtained almost at
once. The value Of the service in an hu-
manitarian sense may be understood
when it is borne in mind that sudden
sickness or death in the case of un-
known individuals can be reported
through the telephone, and quickly at
tended to by the ambulance service,
without delay. The organization of the
patrol-wagon servic, consists of patrol
wagon, with its outfit, horses and detail,
for each district into which the city is
divided; and ut certain points over the
city patrol telephone-boxes are estab-
lished, to which policemen have access
