THE HARTFORD
Hedge and Wire Fence Co.
A Properly Planted and Cared-fOr
Hedge is the Cheapest, Best and Pref
test Fence i'm the World,

We claim the following, advantages for our
Hedge: 1t is the cheapest fence made. 1t is the
most lasting. Winds do not blow it down.
Floods do not wash it away. 1t does not decay.
Stock cannot rub it down. 1t protects itself 1t
stops sheep dogs and trespassers. 1t takes but
little room. You can cultivate close to 1t. 1t
lasts for generations. No new material needed
for repairs. 1t is ornamental to the farm. 1t is
mule high. bull strong and pig tight.
The farmer prepares the ground and works the
plants as he would corn. We do the rest and
guarantee good fence, keeping it in order for
you afterwards at a trifling cost.
Usage Orange Hedge Fences are no expert
ment. There are many hedges in Pennsylvania
and Maryland which were planted 70 years ago
and show no signs Of decay. Figure up the
cost of post and rail fence, estimating its dura-
ton, and contrast it with the prettier and more
durable fence we will give you. at only 81 .25
rod and you will readily see which is the cheap
er. The easy terms of payment we offer are and
other great advantage. Twenty-Five cents per
Rod at the time of setting the plants, IS cents
per Rod when re-setting is done in 1891, Is cents
per Rod when re-setting or side-trimminR in
done in 1892, and so cents per Rod when and is
proportion as the FLASHING is done. For cir
cuars address

That Exemption.

Dodgeville Chronicle The Demo
cratic legislature did one thing last
winter for which they can offer no ex-
euse, and for which the farmers of the
state will neither excuse nor forget them.
1t has always been Just grievance of
the farmer that the real estate was pay
ing more than its just proportion of tax,
as there were many hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars of personal property
that paid no tax at all. The members
of the last legislature were, or should
have been. as we'll aware of this fact as
the farmers have been for many years,
and vet, instead of relieving the land
from some of the taxation, the legisla-
ture exempted 5000 of personal property
which class of property has always been
assessed too low in the state, or not as
sessed at all, the result of which is, this
deficiency in personal property valua-
tions must be made Up on the real estate
by increased taxation.
Prairie du Chen Union:-It is no
apology for this law that the men who
made it are ashamed of the job 1t was
not the only shamful Job enacted by the
majority of that legislature under the
direction Of Wall, Peck & Co., but. is a
fair sample of the capacity Of the great
reform legislature of 1890. 1t will re-
man for the taxpayers in 1891 to rise
up and call them blessed.

MEASURING LAND.

Three Devices Which Enable Every Farm

AT odd times in the last few months l
have been amusing myself in accurate
~ measuring different fields and plan

mated by pacing. can on nearly level
ground Ilce quite accurately five PAGES
to the rod. as for example a rhombus-
shaped piece which paced and made
to contain 40 rods, measured when
tested with a rod pole 1877 rods. i'm
agine that good many berry growers
as well as farmers have only a vague
idea of just exactly how large any par
ticular field is, and therefore in stating
yields either wrong themselves or the
public. Not many months ago l saw
statement by widely-known newspa-
per writer that field that he had been
calling twelve acres proved on accurate

Chinch Bugs on Corn.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION.
Madison, Wis, July, 20, 81.
The numerous letters received at this
station in relation to the chinch bug
show that this pest has already dope
much harm to wheat and barley in
so1e sections of the state, and that 1t is
now moving from the grain fields to
the corn fields. ANY remedies tried
must be quickly applied 1t is now too
late to introduce infected bugs. such as
have been sent out by Prof. Snow, of
Kansas. The kerosene emulsion rem
edy here recommended is being success
fully used by DIR E. Fred Russell, of
Poynette. Columbia county, as was
learned from personal inspection.
How to make the emulsion.-Slice
half pound of common bar soap; put
it in kettle with one gallon of soft
water and boil until dissolved; put two
gallons of kerosene in a churn or stone
jar and to it add the boiling hot soap
solution; churn from twenty to thirty
minutes, when the whole will appear
creamy. If properly made no oil will
separate out when few drops of the
emulsion are placed on piece of glass
To each gallon of the emulsion add
eight gallons of water and stir. Apply
with q sprinkling pot.
Every farmer should learn to make
this emulsion as it is most useful in
secticide. 1t is especially valuable for
killing lice on cattle and hogs. Paris
Green will not kill chinch bugs. If
the bugs are not yet in the corn, pillow
a deep furrow along the side of the field
they will enter and throw into it stalks
of green corn. When the bugs have
accumulated on the corn sprinkle with
the emulsion. Put in fresh stalks and /
sprinkle whenever the bugs accumulate. !
Ii they break over the barrier as they
probably will run new furrow few
rows back in the corn and repeat.
Where they have attacked stalks of
standing corn destroy by sprinkling.
If the remedy is tried it should be used
perslstently. To kill one lot of bugs
and then stop will do little or no good.
When the bugs threaten to destroy as
much as i've or ten acres it will pay
one or two men to devote their whole
time to the warfare. Only q part of
each day, however, will be needed,
Some corn will be lost at best, but the
most of the field should be saved.
Anyone trying the remedy is request
ed TO send the results of his experience
to this station.

measurement to have less than eleven
and therefore his large yields had been
still larger. To the unthinking reader
this doubtless reflected additional glory
to that writer
Here is man." they would say,
''wbo has been getting nearly forty
four bushels of wheat to the acre and
he has contented himself with stating
that he got thirty-eight; he surely does
not overstate things" To the think
ing, careful reader, however, this diff
ference of more than an acre in the esti-
mate of twelve-acre field will br lng
distrust and doubt. A man who has for
years been teaching carefulness and ac-
curacy, making them the corner stones
of successful farming, has no business
to make such an error. He should
know to the very last square yard how
much the area of a certain field is, and
knowing, he will have no occasion or
excuse for making erroneous state
ments by estimates 1t is not difficult
to rapidly and accurately measure a
field and know exactly how much it
contains.
The most rapid but not most accurate
is illustrated in Fig. /; b represents a
half rod in distance on the ground. a

b represents pole just long enough
to measure this distance by touching
either end to the ground. This pole is
just as long as from a to added to
the distances from to b. The pole is
first touched to the ground at a, then
tilted over without moving the position
of the hand until he touches the
ground, thus measuring the half rod of
course. The length of the measure
will vary as the person is tall or short.
Used in this way, a person does not
have to stop at every measure. Fig. 2
is simply pair of wooden compasses
with legs eight or ten feet long, con-
nected with a stay rod so that the
points are eight feet three inches apart,
measuring half a rod at time. The
stay rod should be detachable at one
end and there may be other holes so as
to set the points at six or seven feet for
laying out raspberry rows.
When not in use it may be folded up
and set in the corner of the barn or

a Revised Fable.

You may say: ''The grapes are sour"
Smiling add: They're hanging high"
And it is not in my power
Those assertions TO deny
But I'd like to turn the tables,
And display the other side;
For sometimes think old fables
Show extremely narrow pride,
And the fox-poor, ancient creaturei
Has been most misunderstood,
For he surely had one feature
Which we all consider good.
When we lose hope, most cherished,
Who Of Us does not feel sad?
But the fox, when his had persisted,
Made the most of what he had.

Forgive the Wrong.

Forgive the wrong.
Dear boy, has some one done you Ill,
Don't hasten to resent it;
Oft those who seek a swift revenge
Find leisure to repent it.
Though anger for moment rise,
Far better to subdue it,;
One moment lent to passions sway
May leave you years to rue it.
Though anger loud for vengeance cries,
Again, again deny it.;
Two wrongs will never make one right,
Howe'er you multiply it.
Although your wound may rankle sore,
Kind thoughts will soonest heal it;
Forgive the wrong with free good will,
And soon you'll cease to feel it.

put together and until the last few years
it was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced
local disease, and prescribed local REM

with local treatment, pronounced it in
cureable. Science has proven catarrh

termined to indulge in one of the buns
for which the town is famous.

a boy, handed him sixpence and com
missioned him to get 1.-TWO Bapburys,"
one of the two being promised him for
his trouble.
Just as that train was about to start
that boy came rushing up to the car
riage in which the now impatient actor
was seated, and. holding out threepence,
exclaimed, with mouth half-full:
Here's your change, sir
Bother the change; where's the

They had only ore left, replied the
boy. "and I'm eating that
