ALL AROUND THE FARM.

Do WITHOUT fences wherever it is pos
sible. A fence is costly luxury, as it
is useless unless kept in repair, but
when it is harboring place for insects
and vermin of all kinds, which find ref
uge in the collections Of refuse in the
corners, it causes the farmer more labor
to repair the damage to the farm than
the advantages gained from the fence.
CORRESPONDENT of the Maine
Farmer cures collie in sheep by dissolv-
ing two tablespoonfuls of EPSON salts
in about half pint of warm water, and
adding one teaspoonful of essence of
peppermint. Open the Sleeps mouth
and insert a small funnel in it. A boy
can pour the salts while the sheep is
held. In about two hours the sheep
will be all right.
IT is not advisable to feed young pigs
on fattening food, nor should they be
kept in fat condition. The pig should
be kept growing, and it is time enough
to fatten him after the frame has been
produced. Some farmers keep their
pigs fat all the year, which not only
affiicts them, especially in summer, but
too much fat retards growth. A clover
pasture is better than feeding largely
on grain.
BEET sugar is receiving more atten-
ton every year. Clay soil gives the
highest percentage Of sugar. The
average yield of sugar from beets is
about fourteen per cent, and over
twenty tons OF beets can be grown on
an acre, the cost of which, for seed,
labor, etc., is about $40. Over 1000
pounds of sugar can be realized from
an acre, but this yield depends on the
soil, the fertilizers used and the season.
THERE is always a market for some
thing better than the market affords.
By producing only the best quality of
meat, butter, milk or fruit, plenty of
room will be found for it, even in a
crowded market. The surplus remain
ing unsold is that which is inferior. By
carefully asserting all articles that can
be examined and "culled," less trans
portation costs will result and the
prices attained will be much larger.

1here died recently @ Lowcstofts
England, one who 4 spoken Of by the
local press - - very popular member
Of the stan Of the Great Eastern rail-
way. He was black and tan collie
dog, and he was not appointed to the
position which he held BY the officers
Of the company, but BY himself. Al
though self-appointed, time and habit
brought about his recognition 81 as
sistant train-starter at the Lowestoft
station. Through residence ct the
station he had acquired an instinct
which told him the exact time atwhich
each train should start from the ter
minus on its journey. As the moment
drew near, the collie became restless
and excited. As the bell uttered its first
warning sound, he would scamper down
the platform, and, planting himself
close to the engine, bark furiously until
he saw the wheels begin to move Having
accomplished the starting Of the train, as
he supposed, he would rush to the guards
or conductors van, and hurry the
conductor to his post. AS the train
passed out of the station he retired and
was seen no more until the time was
near for another train to start. Youths

CONCERNING Car Horses.

Scar horses come from the uttermost
parts of the earth, remarked the secrc-
tary Of one Of the big city car compan-
les during discussion Of that variety OF
steed, land as rule we pay one hum
bred and fifty dollars per head for them.
This is our limit, and in buying horse
his age, If he be in good condition, is not
a matter of much consideration. This
is explained by the fact that car horse
never lasts more than two years, while
some of them pound to pieces on the
cobble stones in six months. When
they are thoroughly worn out we sell
them off at twenty-five to thirty dollars
apiece. If the purchaser is a sharper he
puts the beast out to grass for months
rest, and when next seen in public that
horse turns up at a horse auction where
he is warranted sound, kind and true

To Set Trees ana shrubs.

In small lawns trees and shrubs are
set to the best advantage regularly, but
ON large lawns, school grounds or
parks, groups of irregular shape, with
curved outlines, are more pleasing. Such
groups are usually placed at 1.-The juno
tion Of walks or to hide unsightly OBJ
jects, but they should always leave
room for broad stretches Of grass be-
tween. In lawn planting, as in
street planting, the ROOTS should be
freed from all bruises BY pruning away
the injured parts Tho rich top soil
should be placed among the roots,
which must be given their natural
spread, and all parts should be set firm
". Keep the soil near the transplanted
trees free from weeds and GRASSLAND il
mulched the mulching can be removed
at intervals and a good hoeing win
prove useful, after which the mulch
should be replaced. Charles A. Keffer,

barn, which can be built at small cost
and with little labor. The barn is 20
feet wide by "a feet long, and is IS feet
high to the caves. The frame consists
of three rows Of posts Zone at each side
and one down the, center), eight to the
row and IL feet apart. These posts are
set four or five feet in the ground. The
center posts are four feet shorter than
those at the sides, and 2xs inch planks,
90 feet long. are spiked across even
with the top Of the center posts and
four feet below the tops of the side
posts for ties. A 2x6 inch plate is put
on top of the side posts, and braces
from the posts to plates four feet apart

There has been an absolute revolution in the
practice Of medicine and In the treatment Of
human Ills. Instead of undermining the vital
forces by cupping and bleeding, the vitality is
now sustained In every possible manner. In
stead of tearing down we seek to build up. In
stead OF increasing misery we seek to create
happiness.
But the greatest advancement in medical
science has been made by discovery. Harvey
could afford to endure the ridicule OF the world
cized, but millions have benefited by his dis
covery orvaecnation. Pasteur lived in q more
enlightened age and escaped ridicule, while the
world received the benefit which his discoveries
have brought. Koch, although forced to reveal
his discovery before its perfection, will be re-
vered by future generations.

In no city in the west is there sign

There are two ways to look at such
condition, but, in my opinion, the two
ways are not what they are commonly
supposed to be- One way should be to
look with envy on the rich, who thus
may send their children to school for
eight years, while the poor, who must
put their little ones to work at tender

The other way might well be to COM
