FENCES AND INSECTS.
Interesting Notes Furnished by the Ohio
Experiment. Station.

Interesting Notes Furnished by the Ohio
Experiment. Station.
The Ohio agricultural experiment
station, at Wooster, furnishes some in
teresting notes about fences and in
sects. The old worm-rail fence, the
stone wall, and the hedge ara harbor-
ers of a vast number of pests of agri-
culture. Even the board fence offers
them ample protection, as may be as
certained by anyone who will take the
trouble to examine them in the late
autumn or winter. The chinch-bug
passes the cold season safely under the
leaves and matted grass, and the army
worm often originates there in album
dance. The larve of the stalk borer
pass their early stage in the stems of
grass, and grasshoppers breed there.
The fall web-worm delights to pass its
adolescent stage in the creviceS about
rail and board fences and stone walls.
Many other pests are named as per-
petuated from one warm season to an
other by the protection thus afforded.
The barbed wire fence offers the min
imum of such protection. Soon after
it's Introduction it was discovered that
domesticated animals were more or less
liable to injury from the barbs- This

placing a board horizontally above the
wires, and these boards have been
adopted as highways by caterpillars,
which travel over them in vast num-
bers. The common yellow bear thus
migrates in the fall in search of suit
able place for cocooning. 1t is especial
ly liable to attack from fungous dis
ease. the empusa. When first attacked
it becomes paralyzed and limp, but
later it is rigid and attached to the
board so tenaciously that it only dlsap-
pears when disintegrated and washed
off By the rain When caterpillar is
thus fixed on the narrow way it is
brushed against by Others, which
catch some of the spores of the en-
pusa, die in consequence and commu-
nicate the disease to other travellers. In
a short time the upper edge of the
board may become literally strewn
with corpses. and the empusa is thus
powerful agent in checking the album
dance of these caterpillars- AS they
cannot crawl along the barbed wire it
is left open to inference that the board
should not be used--Chicago Tribune.

a PEOPLES PRESIDENT.
What We May Expect of Grover CIeve
land AS Chief Executive

What We May Expect of Grover CIeve-
land N Chief Executive
1t seems more than ever likely TO be
demonstrated in the second admlnis-
tration of President Cleveland that he
means to be indeed the president Of
the country while in Office We have
had none too many of such men in the
presidents chair, but 1t is a notable
fact that those who have thus asserted
themselves have more than any others
found favor with the people The two
most conspicuous instances of this kind
have. perhaps, been Jackson and Lin
coin Their way of asserting them
selves, respectively, were as far apart
as possible; yet each was sure to at
tain his end at last, and each had the
full appreciation of the people in so do
ing. jackson was a man headstrong.
violent. willful, but honest, thorough
ly patriotic, thoroughly American. He
fought some of the ablest men in his
own party that any president has ever
encountered. 1t is not at all sure that
he was right in all these controversies,
yet the heart of the people was
with him. They liked his courage,
and they particularly sympathized
with his disposition to resist
tn . attempt of cliques in his party to
control They even overlooked the
fact that other chques were insidious-
ly doing the same thing because they
saw that jackson was unconscious of
the fact and also that he was earnest
in his resistance to the attempt OF the
money power of the country to obtain
special privileges in the government
There is an unmistal1able analogy be-
tween the position of Jackson and
that of Cleveland on this latter point
Cleveland is more like jackson than
like Lincoln in his personal tempera-
ment He is frank rather than polite
in his methods. He has a much better
comprehension of the principles of gov
eminent than had jackson, however,
and less tendency to personal willful-
ness Both men have sought TO serve
I. the country, but jackson acted more
from impulse, and was apt to forget
everything bus self when he encoun-
tered opposition in the government
He made everything of this kind 2 per-
sonal matter. We do not find the same
disposition in Cleveland, but we 90
recognize in him a strong sense of whas
he owes to the country. and a determi
nation to discharge his duty in this re-
spect- Here his assertion Of personality
is as strong as that of Jackson He
will use the whole power of his great
office to such an end. In so doing hc
will find the country with him.-Bos-
ton Herald.

TO PREVENT OUTLYING.
Winter Is One of the Best Sssssone sss
Filling Up Holes.

Filling Up Holes.
Where the land is somewhat broken,
especially If the soil is a sandy loan, it
is quite an item to manage the land in
such way as to prevent Outlying.
Where it is seeded to grass, either as
pasture or for meadow, this is. of
course. greatly 1essened. as the roots OF
the grass plants aid in holding the soil
together.
When it can be done. undertaking
is another good means of holding the
soil together, as it affords an outlet for
the surplus water below the surface.
But it is not always possible to under
drain, nor can all of the broken land
be kept seeded to grass. and some other
means must be resorted to.
One good means of preventing injury
is by proper blowing. While this may
not altogether prevent Outlying it will
lessen it materially, while the soil
taken in one place may be saved in an
other. In nearly all cases it is the
most valuable or richest part of the
soil that is taken away, and this makes
it the more necessary to save it One
help in doing this is to keep a strip of
grass or meadow along the lower side
of the hill This will catch good part
OI WHAT Is WdSucu 0O"n 1TOIu tLC Hills,
and as an aid it will often be a good
plan to pillow a good sized land at the
edge of this strip, throwing the soil
towards the strip of grass and every
year making it two or three burrows
wider up the hill. This will tend to
make the strip at the bottom of the
hill wider and more level each year,
and while it will contain the richest
of he hi oh ole .f
least save it, and this is much better
certainly than to allow it to be carried
entirely away.
If there is a gully already made that
it is desired to fill, begin at the bottom
and fill up at intervals, using brush,
old straw, cornstalks or other litter.
During the winter is one of the best
seasons for doing work of this kind. as
the thawing and freezing will aid in
fastening it and prevent it from being
washed out by spring rains. Get a
strip along each side of it seeded to
grass. This will not only prevent fur
Their washing, but also help in holding
the material put in to help fill up.
Blue grass is the best to use to prevent
washing. 1t is rather slow to start, but,
once esta blished. it fills the soil so thor
oughly with its roots that it very large
ly prevents washing.
For blowing, no set rules can be
given, as the character and lay of the
land must always be considered and
will make the management necessarily
vary in order to secure the best results.
But the first rule should be to avoid
washing as much as possible first, and
then to plan to avoid losing entirely
the soil that is washed. 1t is always
best to commence in time, as in all
cases, if proper management be given
at the start, it will be easier, as well
as more economical, to avoid washing
or Outlying than to remedy after it is
done.-St. Louis Repub bile.

HARRISON'S SYSTEM.
Partisan Appointments Under the Ea
publican Administration

Partisan Appointments Under the &c
publican Administration
The attempt of Mr. Harrison adj
ministration, after a vigorous spoils
policy of four years. when every office
is filed with republicans, TO extend
the civil service system so as to cover
thousands of his partisans whose ap-
pointments were made regardless Of
fitness, will hardly meet the approval
of the incoming administration This
attempt to perpetuate men in office who
will not be in harmony with the pol
icy of the new administration Is not in
accordance with the fitness of things
No one hopes for or expects sudden
changes in those offices which might
have a tendency toward Gripping the
service While the policy of President
Cleveland eight years ago, in which he
allowed competent officials to serve out
the terms for which they were appoint
ed, disgruntled the Office seekers
and professional politicians. it never
theless met the hearty approval
of the country at large. Under
Mr.. Cleveland's administration when
changes were made in the civil service
every thing moved along III the even
tenor of its way. Those who are look
ing for political preferment under the
new regime will no doubt receive due
recognition when the time comes. And
the only regret will be the fact that

Method Which Is Easy, Convenient and

There is no doubt that in a great
many localities where the methods
which experience has shown to be

are unknown. How to dispose of the
droppings is a very important matter
We give the method which best suits
the majority of cases. Make a long,
stone boat and place upon it a box re-
sembling a wagon box. though not so
long. Have the boat with its box large
enough to hold one days droppings-
Clean out every NOR ming. throwing the
droppings into the stone boat and haul
directly to the field. This saves loss
through teaching in the barn yard
Scatter as you unload. The person un-
loading can stand on the ground. so
need not get soiled.
The stone boat will run winter, sum-
mer, spring or fall. It will go over
snow. bare ground or mud. ANY time
the team can keep on top of the ground
the stone boat can be used. For great
est convenience arrange the stable door
so one horse or two can haul it inside
and move it along behind the cows as
fast as the droppings are scooped in.
If there is not room to turn it around
inside, it can be pulled in backwards
with single horse, then hitch him to
the front end and let him haul it along
as far as the door. when his mate can
be hitched on. IL the door Is too mar
row to let a double team through. OF
course the droppings are N gutter so
they are easily scooped into the boat,
or the COWS stand on platform and
the droppings lie in line on the floor
behind. This saves work and manure.
