HEDGE AND WIRE FENCES.


A Combination That Makes Safe and
Permanent Fence.
The Usage orange is extensively used
for division and yard-fences, and. whom
properly set out and cared for. 1t makes
a cheap and good hedge. In some parts
of Illinois there are miles of Usage
hedge to rods of any other kind of
fence, and, where kept we'll trimmed,
they give satisfaction. The chief OBJ
lection to Usage hedge as = yard-fenoe
is that hogs will work under it to find a
cool place. They rub and break of the
lower branches, and eventually make
gaps, through which they escape into the
fields or neighbors' lots To prevent
this, the sharp, spiny shoots. cut from
the top. are piled against the base of
the hedge. But this soon becomes dry
and brittle, and is quickly rooted out
and pushed aside, so that almost con-
slant watchfulness on the part OF the
owner is necessary to prevent the hogs
from working through.
Eight years ago, says contributor to
the American Agriculturist. a friend
called my attention to the hedges around
his hog-lot, which we're rubbed of

advised him to cut the entire hedge of
close to the ground, leaving stumps
thirty inches high, about six or eight
feet apart, then fasten to these stumps
three galvanized barbed wires, the low
est six inches from the ground. the Sec
ond eight inches above that. and the
third twelve inches above the second,
as shown in Fig. 1. This was to be done
in February or March and the hogs kept
out until autumn. This was done, and
the hedge-rOots sent up perfect thicket
of shoots on both sides of the wires,
completely locking them in. In June
these shoots, then four to six feet high,
were cut off to three and half feet in
height and the sides trimmed up until
the hedge was eighteen inches wide.
The latter part of August the hogs were
turned in, and the yard has been occu-
pied by them ever since. In places the
hedge is rubbed smooth off to the wires,
but no farther.
In all of those eight years not pig,
large or small, has escaped from that
lot. and the fence will apparently re-

telephoned for two more rolls Of paper
and forty feet more of border, but he
looked so pale-faced and stoop-shoul-
dered and done out that hadn't the
heart to say any thing about the room.
He fell asleep in his chair while read
ing the paper, and every few mo-
ments uttered groan or sigh. He
was paste and paper from head to heel
and back again, and could hardly get
upstairs from the lameness in his legs
and back. Next morning, as he seemed
undecided whether to go to the Office or
upstairs. asked If I shouldn't telephone
for the paper-hanger. That decided him
and he replied:

you are, Mrs. Bowser, for all the money
in the world. You are shaking in your
shoes for fear that will do a really
nice bit of work"

before he would allow me to enter the

FORMATION OF MILK.

Some Of tho Latest Theories ON this Sub
ject.
The popular idea is that milk is q
product of some internal organ of the
COW, and is run" into the udder through
the big milk veins on the abdomen,
attaching great impor lance to the size
of the veins and the diameter of the
well holes," through which they pass
into the body. At an institute, lately,
says Hoard's Dairyman, a speaker in
some remarks on milk production gave
utterance to the later theory that milk
is not secreted as a perfect milk during
the intervals of milking, but that the I'D
der simply secretes quantity Of serum
and blood elements, which are elabor-
ated into milk during the process of milk
ing, and that q person blindfolded, could
not by the taste, distinguish between
fresh drawn blood and milk.
His deductions were that the feeding
of mich cows, profitatly. must be done
with protein food-bran, oats, peas,
etc., and less corn meal. The reason is
that these being distinct blood foods
tend direct to the developing of more
and better blood, causing the udder tc
secrete larger quantities of this fluid,
and hence better results. By expert
ment it has been found that the udder
before milking contained but small
quantity of milk, scarcely more than a
quart, and the second" flow of milk il
made from the stored quantity of serum.
and elaborated into milk by nervous
power as the process of milking goes on.
The proofs at his disposal were, that
dairymen present were forcing up the
butter and milk yields of their dairies,
just as they increased the bran supplies
of the food ration. This was a new
theme for the farmers present. Some
took a sidewalk objection, as all
bosh; but others could see practical
point for them to put to profitable use.
That of supplying far less fat-formers tc
their cows. needed heat by warmer sta
bles, and tepid water to drink, and more
blood-forming foods.

Horses may be kept in box stalls deep

manned uncleaned for days and weeks
and not become offensive; but the ma
nure cellar for the cow stables
is quite another thing. The farm
er who has concluded to feed a
cheaper food than hay to his stock, and
put it in condensed form. has very little
need of three-stOfy barn; and the
basement stable, stone walled, is an ex-
pensive way to obtain, as q rule, a
stable inferior to q wooden walled build
ing for cattle. The wooden wall, built
double. with six-inch air space, if built
as it may be, results in . warmer, drier,
lighter and better ventilated stable
than can be obtained with stone walls.

He was thinking of his classmate and

A GOOD DEVICE.

How to Make Trclltses and Frames for
Bush Fruits.
Where raspberries and blackberries
are grown on large scale for market,
says Popular Gardening, the expense
and labor involved by the use of even
the simplest form of trellis or frame
must prevent the grower from at
tempting to do more than keep the
plants within bounds by heroic prun-
ing. And this usually answers the
purpose very well. In the home garden,
however, we always pay somewhat
greater attention to convenience and
eat appearance than in the field.
