A. Fayorite" Fence.

A correspondent in the Country Gen.
tlemaa says his favorite fence is a COM
bination of post, boards and wire. This
is the way he describes it:
My favorite fence is one made of three
boards and two barbed wires. 1t is pos
sible to make a pig-proof fence with
wire alone, but this requires 80 much
wire that boards below are the most
economical. set the posts 80 feet 8
inches apart. Midway between these
posts short ones, high enough for the
boards to be nailed to, are set. These
are posts that have rotted off, but the
tops of which are sound; or posts split
from short cuts, made when it was i'm
possible to get a cut long enough for the
ordinary post. These short posts are to
be set as carefully as the long ones, as
they must hold the ends of the boards.
We now have posts fifteen feet four
inches apart. Midway between these
we set one of the weakest of our short
posts, or even a short stake. Another is
easily driven in at its side when needed.
Just after the frost has come out of the
ground in the spring, stout stake can
be driven down thirty inches into the
ground, using a heavy sledge. This
gives a. support every seven feet eight
inches for our boards: and for the wire
every thirty feet eight inches-close
enough together when barbed wire is
used.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Best Time in the Day to Cut Grass.

The best time to NOW grass is in the
afternoon about 4 o'clock, says Editor
A. W. Cheever. Dew will never injure
unwilted grass, and Will dry OF mown
grass in much less time than from grass
that is standing Grass cut in the early
morning while heavy with rain or dew
may require most of the first days work
to get it free from the water upon it.
Grass cut when free from outside moist
ure will often dry as perfectly in one
day as wet grass would in two. Grass
cut and left in swaths with the dew on
is something in the condition of cut
flowers with their stems set in damp
moss or a dish of water. Grass cut be-
tween 4 o'clock in the afternoon and
dark will begin to dry the following
day, if fair. soon after sunrise; if stormy,
it will not suffer till the storm is over.
If grass is grown and ready to cut it
should be cut even if storm is expected
the following day. Storms seldom in
jure freshly-cut grass. In variable
weather cut all the grass in cloudy
days, and then have the whole of the
fair weather for making it into hay. The
man who is in constant worry tor fear
of bad weather tomorrow is likely to
cut his grass in clear weather and have
it to make into hay as best he may in
cloudy.

RoISehold Hints,

Vegetables are best stored in a room
by themselves.
Sweet, light, fne-grained bread,
twenty four hours old makes the best
sandwiches.
Never send to the table the same food
for three meals in succession, unless
varied IN some way.
A cool cellar aired on a warm day will
gather moisture To avoid this open
the windows in the evenings.
Half a teaspoonful of common table
salt, dissolved in little cold water and
drank, will instantly relieve heartburn.
One pound and half of copperas dis
solved in gallon of water makes an
excellent dislnfectant for the kitchen
sink.
| Scraps are regular savings bank for
the good cook. The greatest possible
variety of good things can be made out
OF them.
Fruit that has been canned or pre-.
served can be dried by skimming it out
of the liquid and treating the same as
toulalo hSo'
After cleaning lamps and wiping them
! dry, turn the wick down below the top
of the burner. This prevents oil on the
outside of the burner.
A good cook throws away nothing.
Every piece of bread, every inch Of meat,
every particle of vegetable can be turned
into something palatable.
Flour should be bought by the barrel,
but Indian meal is 80 apt to become in
tested with weevils that it should not
remain much over a week on hand.
When you boil cabbage tie a bit of
dry bread in bag and put it in the ket-
tie. French cooks say that the unpleas-
ant odor will be absorbed by the bread.
Mayonnaise dressing, made with the
yolks of two raw eggs, stirred with the
best olive oil added drop by drop,
is the foundation of the best salad dress
ing.
A good way to distinguish mushrooms
is to sprinkle salt on the spongy or under
side. If it turns yellow the speci-
men is poisonous: if black, it is whole

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A Good Cleansing Fluid.

For removing spots from furniture,
carpets and woo.en goods generally,
prepare a cleansing fluid as follows:
Cut fine two ounces of white CASTLE
soap and dissolve it in pnt of hot
water over the fire, then add two quarts
more of water, and, when nearly cold,
two ounces of ammonia and one ounce
each of alcohol and glycerine. Put all
in a gallon Jug, shake we'll and it is
ready for use. Keep it closely corked
when not in use. TO wash woolen or
cashmere dress goods, place teacupful
in a pail of warm water, rub the ma
terial quickly with the hands, rinse
when clean. and iron while it is damp,
OIL the wrong side. For cleaning car
pets, wet a cloth in the fluid with a
little water and rub the spots until they
disappear. r.-Pyuiri5 Farmer.

Railroad Innovations in Scotland.

The blasts of trumpet on railroads
as means CT giving signals to engine:
runners, switchmen and others engaged
in switching and drilling operations, are
now extensively used in the large yards
of the Caledonian Railway in and around
Glasgow, Scotland, and are about to he
introduced on some of the great railway
systems having termini in London.
According to the code of trumpet
signals for shunting, in operation at St.
Rollox freight yard, Glasgow, the
various signals are represented by long
blasts, short bla,ts, and "crows" Of the
trumpet, the repetition of each varying
the directions. For instance, one long
blast of the trumpet mems 'move for.
ward" and two long blasts are signal
to "move back" Each shunter, and in
some cases the signalman, is furnished
with horn trumpet, which is eleven
inches in length, having reed inside
the moutb-piece, the whole being of very
light construction. The trumpet is car
ried by the shunter, slung over his left
shoulder with piece of cord, and
hangs across the right hip. Another
ancient and pastoral implement, the
shepherds crook, is also used for facili'
tating switching operations across the
water. Each yardman carries a sort OF
sherherd's crook by which he lifts the
chain coupling. It is stated on good
authority that since this method Of
coupling freight-cars has been adopted
on the Caledonian, that not a
single man has been injured in
coupling cars. This can be readily
understood, as the shepherds crook
obviates the necessity of going between
the tars.-Arsonaut.

A Sure Cure for COrns.

Replying to correspondent who asks
it to give sure cure for corns, the New
York Sun saws: "Ours is cure without
drugs. 1t can be procured at the shoe.
makers only, and then at the hands OF
shoemaker of the highest intelligence
and without such prejudice in favor of
peculiar cut of shoe that he will be un-
willing to make one different:
"The whole secret of curing or pre-
venting the human affliction known as
corns lies in making very loose boot
which will still hold the foot so firmly
that the latter's sides will not, by wab-
bling about, be irritated by friction
worse than the steady pressure of too
much tightness That can be done by
making the shoe (boots cannot be used
to advantage fit closely around the in
step and all back of it up to the ankle.
And in front OF the instep all desire for
beauty must be abandoned and the shoe
made very loose. For some feet 1t must
be so loose that its upper can be pressed
into folds, and the looseness should ex.
tend even beyond the extreme ends OF
the toes. With this shoe, also, all the
Joints of the foot will expand and play
with the freedom needed to ward of
those more unsightly and no less trouble
some arrangements known as bunions.
Before long the wearer will step OF
with stride as unhampered as that OF
the soft moccasined aborigine, and he
will be ready to plunge into a crowd
where feet are planted at random with a
fearlessncss regarding his own and an in
difference as to where those of Others
NAV fall, which alone is worth the price
of his new shoes. Then he will wonder
how he ever submitted for on hour to
the oppressive measurements of his shoe
maker, and, after the manner of man
without headaches who never knows
that he has head,' his walk through
life will be completed in blissful igno-
rance that he has foot"

The Use OF Oflin Cooking.

It is said by Eleanor Bates, in Daugh.
ters of america, that lady once attend
ed concert, at which she fell into dis
cussion with friend concerning divers
modes of cookery; the theme of the con-
versation proved more enchanting than
the music, which came to a sudden
pause just as her unruly tongue, in spite
of herself, proclaimed in hearing of the
whole audience to their undisguised de-
light: "We fry ours in bItterP'
Beloved sisters, fry no more in butter,
it is expensive, burns easily and needs
constant watching. Not many Of you
turn to lard, that modern American pro-
duct which has been scornfully thrust
from foreign markets. The housewife
who raises her own pigs on the banks of
a running stream and feeds them plentl-
fully on sweet corn meal and buttermllk
she and none other may use lard with
out fear and without reproach, but the
lard of the market is fearfully and Won
derfully made. Produced from unclean,
sometimes diseased animals, and as
proved by recent revelations, more often
adulterated than not, it is an unwho.e-

inaugurate a crusade against it.
What then shall we use for trying?
Clean beef drippings are delightful in
their way, but some of the OBJ tlons al
ways made to animal fats are in place
here. There is an article, however,
against which none of these can be
urged. 1t is cotton-seed oil.
You don't like the taste of oil2 Do
you like the delicate flavor of fresh,
sweet chicken fata The tastes are almost
identical. The cost is less than that Of
lard. A kettleful may be used again and
again. 1t will cook without burning at
a much higher temperature than either
butter or lard. 1t being purely vegetable,
can carry no trichiue, no form OF
scrofula into the human system. 1t
"takes up" in cooking less than lard.
Its merits have long been known to for
eigu chefs, and are proclaimed aloud in
cooking schools, though sometimes dis.
guised under the name of olive oil.
They who have used it the longest, are

Princess Mullins.

We had guest over night, physician
and specialist in dietary matters. The
princess made the breakfast mullins,
which the doctor pronounced 1.-THE best
thing he ever saw in food" He would
like the recipe, provided it were neither
very expensive nor very elaborate. The
princess smiled and said "not very" and
She gave it then and there: "Into cold
water stirred graham meal to make a
medium thick batter, and dropped it
into muffin rings that were ready hot,
then put the pan into an oven that was
at quick, full heat. IL a trife over
fifteen minutes the mullins came out as
you see them" The hygeist stared
'sYou have omitted the yeast, or baking
powder which2" "Both. Not any in
mine. You surely ought to know how
the heat does their work." The whole
secret is the temperature of the oven; a
peasant can make as good mullins as the
princess, if she will attend to this one
point. nt.-.Sturdy Oak.

Vaccination in the Harpm.

The women in the Sultan's seraglio,
at Constantinople, have Just been vac
cinated, to the number of $50. The
ope' alton took place in large hall, un-
der the superintendent of four gigan-
tic eunuchs. The Italian surgeon to
whom the task was confded was stationed
in front of huge screen, and the women
were concealed behind it. A hole had
been made in the center of the screen,
just large enough to allow an arm to pass
through; and in this manner the arms,
of various colors and sizes, were pre-,
sented to the operator in rapid succession.
1t was utterly impossible for the surgeon
to get a glimpse of his patients; but, in
order to guard against the chance of his
being able to see through the screen,
two eunuchs, who stood by the opera
tor, threw shawl over his face the in
slant an operation was concluded, and
did not remove it till the next arm had
been placed in position. --Indian AeaicaI
