MAKING RAIL C.


SOm0 u the Woo1ls which Have Good
Lasting Qualities
To make a good fence, good materials
and good workmanship are required.
This is well illustrated in the making
Of Virginia rail fence, which l believe
Is the most exsravagant fence ever
made, and yet there is now, and il
likely to be for some time. as much OF
this as of any other kind of fence. 1t
is pity. that the man who discovered
(nOt invented) Virginia rail fence and
bars, did not die when he was an in
FAINT.
Some woods last better ON or in the
ground than others. and in buildin.
rail fence this should be kept in mind
Thus, the hickory. cut when the bark
peels of, makes a very durable rail OH

ground. For the ground rails, we in
this locality find nothing so good az

and red elm. all when the bark
will peel of and the rails set up to sea-
son, will, when we'll built. require
scarcely any repair for fifteen years.
White elm. wild cherry and dead pin
oak. make such poor rails that it does
not pay to cut them for this purpO
But II pin-Oals is cut while vet alive
and while the bark will peel oil, it
makes q very durable rail if kept oil
tho ground.
A good rail fence can not be built
unless the rails are laid directly over
each other, making upright corners.
Split rails should be laid, as much as
possible. with the heart wood un. A
rail so laid will last almost twice as
long Is when laid with the sap wood
up. The weakest rails. or those likely
to rot soonest, should Be reserved for
the upper courses, "a in those courses
a broken rail a be replaced more
easily than in the lower part of the
fence. 1t pays to put down good. dur
able grOund-chunks; and a man care
less about setting the stakes will not
make y good fence. The stakes should
be set deep "a mattock is much better

Trimming Roses.

In regard to trimming roses, an ex.
perienced culhvator advises the readers
of the New York World, that when tho
buds have swelled sufficiently TO show
their condition, the plants should be cut
back to the plumpest bud, cutting in the
weakest growers to within four or six
buds above the ground, particularly if
growing for exhibition purposes; if large
blooms are not required, the shoots may
be left longer. The strong growers must
be left MS long as sound buds and wood
will admit. Intersecting shoots should
also be cut out so as to leave the centre
of the plant with free exposure to the
air and sun, for it is among these short
stems that the red spider and other pests
harbor in the summer. Another impor-
tant point to remember few weeks later
in the season is that for growing large
flowers certain amount of disbudding
must be practised. Around the central
flower bud will be noticed two or three
smaller buds, which must be removed to
throw the entire strength into the central
bud; then, if properly cultivated, the
single stem will carry a splendid flower

Making Hny.

The best quality of hay, everything
considered, is made in dry but sunless
weather, with little dew, and as little
handling over as is practicable. Too
long exposure to burning sun renders
the hay brittle, and consequently some
of it will be lost in the handling.
Glover hay, it is generally conceded, is
best when the clover was only fairly
wilted before being put in the cock,
there to remain few days, the cocks, in
the mean time, to be opened two OF three
times.
Experimental evidence largely favors
the idea that early cut forage is superior
to late cut, not only as regards its
chemical composition but its diges-
tibility, This is explained by the fact
that young plants, while in state of
active growth, contain relatively more
protein and less fibre than do mature
plants.
Professor Armsby, of Wisconsin, says
on the subject; Three elements enter into
the problem of selecting the best time
for cutting the grasses, viz, the quality
of the fodder, its quantity and the
amount Of labor expended upon it.
While any grass is ripening a large part
of the protein and starch passes from the
leaves and stem to the seeds, which are
so small that they are seldom masticated
or digested. Moreover, these are easily
lost in curing. The hay made from fully
ripe grass is essentially straw. Ii only
one crop is to be obtained, the best time
for cutting is usually when the plants
are just beginning to blossom. At this
&. 4
earlier, while the digestibility of the hay
is not materially impaired. If cut early,
there is a great advantage to a second
crop In deciding which IS the proper
stage of growth for cutting grass for hay,
one ought not to forget that a late
growth of the plants nearly TO seeding
impairs their strength. In case Of red
clover, it greatly interferes with the crop
of seed which is obtained from the
second cutting.
Professor Sanborn's (of MissourD ex-
periments in feeding hay appear to in
dicate that the value of early cut hay
may have been over estimated. lie says
results obtained make it appear that, not
only is the amount of hay cut from a
given area larger when cut after bloom
than when cut in bloom, but the late cut
hay is most nutritious. Professor Beal,
Michigan, thinks it very doubtful
whether it is best to cut all forage plants
at the same stage Of advancement. Most
farmers, as a rule, prefer to cut clover
when few of the first heads begin to
/ turn brown. Common sense must be
used in the matter of deciding when
. each special kind Of gras, should lie cut
Much will depend upon the weather. Il
] the weather be cloudy with fall of rain

hay must be left standing until the
atmosphere becomes dry again, no mattet
