AbOIIshing Fcnces.

To make the declaration, 1.-THE
fences on thousands of farms should
be abolished" is putting it pretty
strong for the acceptance of the aver
age farmer 1t Is quite likely there
are many farms where part of the
fences might be abolished as a mat
ter of economy and as being really I'M
necessary to the farm, but we cannot
conceive of the thousands of farms
that would not be aCtuallYinjuTed by
abolishing fences. There is where
real injury is done to farming inter
ests-the making of thoughtless
declarations by an agricultural writer
of perhaps little or no actual expert
enCe upon the farm, that are in con-
fiict with The good Judgment Of prac-
tical and judiCious farmers. Such
talk is 'bosh' in the eyes of intelli-
gent farmers, who will simply laugh
at such an exhibit of lack of knowl-
edge of farming. No, farmers under
stand very well what is necessary
upon the farm, and usually regulate
their fences according TO some pre-
yaiIing necessity And it is wise
forethought in farmers to provide
fences, so that writers upon agricul-
tural topics may as they have op-
portunitY sit on them and think, yes,
and study subject that requires a
pretty thorough understanding of in
order to write or talk inteIligently.
Fences are a necessity upon farms,
and if that fact were not fully recog-
nized there would be less labor spent
in fencing prairie lands where there
is an entire lack of fencing material.
Fences will be abandoned when farm
ing is. -Germantown Telegraph,

Wire Nails.

1t was only few years ago that tho
first wire nails were used in this coun-
try, but now the industry has attained
large proportions. This is we'll shown
by machine shipped from GreenpoinU,
N. Y, to Everett, Wash, The machine
weighed 12I tons, and turns out nails
spikes would be better terfh-7-l6 Of
an inch in diameter, IL inches long and
weighing just half pound each The
wire from which they are made passes
between series of rolls which
straighten it, and is then grasped by a
pair OF jaws which pull it forward the
proper distance to make nail. 1t is
then firmly grlpped in another set of
jaws and the head is formed by pow
erful blow with die of the proper
shape. The headed wire is then pushed
along until other dies cut off and shape
the point and tho finished nail falls from
the machine. II anyone had prophesied
five years ago that the little wire brads
then coming into use would be followed
in few years by such spikes, he woult
have found few believers.

To Prevent tho Ravages of Rabbits.

A writer in American Gardening
says he has tried tarred and oiled pa
per for two years for repelling rabbits,
and has been disgusted with the re-
suits, the tar blackening the bark and
the oiled paper becoming torn with
storms and affording shelter for in
sects. But washing with soft soap
and carbolc acid has proved effectual
and satisfactory. A quart of soft
soap is added to three quarts Of boil
ing water, and two ounces of carbolic
acid are added. An old shoe brush
is used IN applying it. He applied it
last autumn to 1000 trees, and not
one was injured by rabbits up to this
year, although these animals are
abundant, Applied twice year it

Top-Crnfting NOn-Bearing Fruit Trees.
Many farmers have In their or
chards or about their yards fruit
trees and especially apple trees, that
do not bear fruit enough to pay for
the use of the land they stand on.
Some Of these are trees that were
bought upon the representation Of
some agent and found not to be true
to name, shy bearers Of undesirable
sorts. One who has taken the trouble
to raise trees like these are some
times at q loss to know what to do
with them, for it takes years to grow
a new set OF trees and often they
stand where their shade is desirable
We have some of these sorts on our
place that were putout by urpredeces-
sor and we have been studying what
to do with Them says a writer in the
Farmers Voice, A few days ago an
acquaintance solved the problem for
us and we feel now that we are
going to have some good fruit from
these trees in a very few years, and
not be compelled to wait till a new
lot can come into bearing, We were
visiting friend who lives quite a
distance from our home and men
toned the trees that were doing us
no good anG he told us he had had
the same trouble when he first bought
his farm, and that he got out Of it by
top-graftlng his old orchard Then
we went out to the orchard and he
showed me trees, now eighteen inches
in diameter, that were originally
natural fruit but had been top
grated until they were bearers
Of the best sorts of apples. One
tree especially he showed us that
when it was grated had over
100 Baldwin clons set in and now it
is as pretty as one might wish to see,
and good bearer A tree of this
kind should be grated in such man
ner that when the cions are grown
they will make the top symmetrical
and evenly balanced. Any limb that
is not more than two inches in dame
ter may be grated and two cions
should be set in, AS the new CRAFTS
increase in size the old parts of the
trees may be pruned away unUil only
limbs Of the improved variety are
left. This will not make the best
shaped tree, but it is better than to
cut one that has made several years
growth, and begin over The trees
we want to improve are in a place
where there shade is very welcome on
q hot day, and we are going to keep
the shade and IN few years have
good fruit from them also

Sweet Com in Succession.

Those who grow much sweet corn
find that the effect Of plucking off the
ears while the stalks are green rapidly
increases the fungus growth that
when ripe makes the black smut, If
corn is grown in succession year after
year, this smut increases so that 1T
will spread even before the picking Of
ears commences 1t is a good plan
to remove the crop as soon as the
ears are harvested and pow the land,
This will cover up the smut, and dur
ing the winter a good deal of it will
be destroyed by contact with moist
earth, But for those who have plenty
Of land sweet corn should not be
grown in succession. 1t succeeds so
much better on a clover sod that this
should always be provided if possible.

A celebrated artist somewhat addicted
to joviality was painting the portrait of
great teetotal divine. His reverence
thought this an excellent opportunity,
while sitting to the artist, to give little
homily on total abstinence, and so, all
the time the painter was working, he
delivered his harangue, which he thought
exceedingly impressive and must have
both convinced and converted the artist.
He paused to hear what the artist had
to say in return, when that parsonage,
with the utmost sang froid, smoking his
pipe all the time, said:
Turn your head little and shut your
mouth.

Glover In Grain stubblos.

AS soon as grain is harvested look
carefully to the clover seeding. II 1t
has failed no time should be lost in
blowing the field and trying another
grain crop this time sowing some
timothy seed In Fall so as to be sure
of catch of some kind, Often, how
ever, 1t will be found If the grain is
stout that the grain is not killed, but
merely held in check. If let alone
the rains that come during and after
harvest will bring it forward and
make a large stand where at harvest
time there seemed to be nothing.
This will especially be the fact if
plaster was sown in the spring. Some
farmers SOW plaster on grain crops
mainly for help to clover 1t may be
sown in midsummer, but unless rain
come will not do much good until the
following year.

Sheep and Swine.

KEEP sows in an enclosed pasture
where they can have good pasture and
yet not stray away.
IT is the full feeding at every
meal that counts, especially when 1t
comes to fattening hogs,
THE production Of better class of
wool than the average is necessary to
secure the very best prices,
SHEEP suffer severely from colds,
and, if allowed to run on too long it
is liable to turn into lung fever.
PEAS and beans make a good cheap
feed and can often be used to a good
advantage TO make up variety.
WHEN a sudden check is made in
the growths both the body and the
fleece suffer to a more or less extent.
DO NOT be tied to one particular
way Of feeding so as to be unwilling
to try new plan that promises well.
A LITTLE attention paid to the
construction of the feed racks will
lessen the amount Of dirt in the
wool.
FAT sheep rarely go to extremes in
prices, neither selling very high nor
very low as compared with other
stock,
ALLOWING too many to eat at one
trough will almost always bring on
inequality-something always to be
avoided,
SHEEP are dainty and will neither
eat dirty food, nor drink pool water,
unless forced to 1T by excessive thirst
or hunger.
