the land drained by rivers flowing
eastward to Canada. Plans of the

A Grateful Little Miss.

No trait in childhoyd is more
lovable than that Of generosity
and consideration for others. A
beautiful incident illustrating this
fact occurred not far from Albany
recently. A little child was given
permission to hold 4 party for
some of her friends and enjoyed
the occasion with extraordinary
zest. At its close she went to the
place where she kept her little
savings bank, and, taking it TO
her mother with q beaming face,
said: Mamma, | have had such
a very, very delightful time and
enjoyed my party SO much that |
want you to take twenty-five cents
out of my bank and give 1t to the

Depth to Set Posts.

Correspondents in different parts
of the country differ widely as to
the depth of hole needed for fence
posts. Some say that two feet is
ample depth, while others insist
on three feet. Both may he and
probably arc right. The depth
must vary with the probable freez-
ing of the soil. The bottom of
the post ought to be at least six
inches below the probable depth
Of freezing. That amount of
soil will remain packed about
the foot of the post and hold it
down. Something also depends
on the material of which the fence
is made. Boards offG too much
resistance to winds, and ut the top
Of the fence act on the post as on
lever, twisting it out. of the
ground. Fence rails attached to
posts have the additional object
tion that their weights sags tho
post so soon as the wind causes it
to lean. Careful farmers now
make post-and rail fences with
one or two strands of barbed wire
at the top. After a little expcr-
renee with this fence by leading
stock up to it they generally learn
to give 1t o wide berth. Such q
fence will not blow down nor easi.
