Uses of Barbed Wire Fence.

Barbed wire fence is steadily gaining
favor ON its merits of strength, dura-
bility, effectiveness and low cost. The
galvanized wire lasts many years, and
only half as many posts need be used
as with other kinds of fences When
the ground is so wet that other farm
work cannot be done is proper time
TO build barbed wire fences AT such
time the ground is generally moist and
soft enough to admit of driving the
sharpened posts from the wagon, thus
avoiding the expensive labor of digging
and filing holes. To fence securely
against sheep five smooth wires and one
top barbed wire are needed. Six barbed
wires make good hog fence, but will
not prove absolutely reliable as regards
very small pigs For cattle and horses
three barbed wires answer fairly well,
but 1t will be more satisfactory if four
strands are used. - american Agricul

Three Ways of Ending Stumps.

Three ways of disposing of stumps are
suggested in The Rural New Yorker
One correspondent says kerosene will
end them. He bores hole in the heart
of the stump, fills it with kerosene and
covers it over In month he fills up
with kerosene again and a few days aft
er sets them ON fire and burns out the
stump. roots and all. Another plan is
to twist them out with pole, while
third plan consists in blowing them out
with dynamite
To twist stumps out with pole cut
a strong lever 20 feet long, and with
strong chain you can pull any stump up
to eight or ten inches through. Select
one stump for anchorage, lay the lever
on the opposite side from that you wish
to draw, and with a good pair of horses
at the long end of the lever you can
draw more stumps in one day than with
any stump machine l have ever seen.
You will require a chain made of three
fourths inch iron to pull 10 inch
stump With chain 25 feet long you
can clear all the stumps within reach Of
the firs1anchor stump. Leave one stump
within reach of the chain to pull the
anchor, and the work is complete

Matching Chicks by Electricity.

A few years ago the suggestion that
chickens would ever be Matched by
steam would have brought down no end
of ridicule on the head of the prophet,
and yet today steam is recognized by
experts to be the most efficient means of
incubation, and now the novelty is the
Matching of eggs by means of an electric
incubator. The special feature of this
machine is that Che heat of the egg
drawer is automatically regulated to the
fiftieth part of a degree F. 1t consists
of tank incubator, heated by radiation
from the bottom of a water tank, which
is constructed on the multitubular sys-

A New Insecticide.

F. G. Moulton Of the gypsy moth
commission announces new insect
eide. 1t is arsenate of lead, fine white
powder, which is lighter than paris

in its operation in destroying insect life
it is also claimed that it is preferable
1t has the advantage Of being readily
seen on the leaves, so that one can tell
at a glance which have and which have
not been sprayed, which is often Of
great convenience Being lighter than
paris green, it does not settle so quick
ly, and as result can be distributed
more evenly over the foliage. A great
objection to the use of paris green is the
liability Of using an overdose and there
by injuring the foliage Of the plants

SLIDING Corn, Ears and All.

1t is a common notion among many
that it is waste to cut up the ears with
the ks when putting them in the silo.
They hold that if the ears are picked off
and dried, the stalks when put in the
silo will make as good silage and 90 as
as far as if the ears were left on. They
seem to reason upon the absurd basis
that part is greater than the whole.
The Wisconsin experiment station un-
dertook to solve the problem of SLIDING
corn, ears and all, and found that there
was a loss of seven per cent in dry mat
ter where the ears were picked off and
dried and the stalks sliced, more than
where the corn, ears and all, was sliced.
In feeding out the corn it was found
that the cows ate little more of the
silage containing the ears and also
drank trifle more water while on this
food, but the difference in either case
was small. They also ate little more
of the silage containing the ears than
of the other food which had the dried
ears added to the feed. The COWS,
however, produced more milk and
more butter when fed the silage, ears
and all. The difference in milk yield
was All pounds or 3 per cent, and of
butter, 165 pounds or 60 per cent.
Figuring on the basis of the amount of
dry matter, it was found that 100 pounds
of dry matter in the sliced corn ration
produced $50 pounds of milk and 3.lS
pounds of butter as against 6S,3 pounds
of milk and 309 pounds of butter from
the ration composed of sliced stalks
and dry ears. Add to the greater feed
ing value of the corn when sliced, ears
and all, the greater amount of dry mat
ter attained by preserving the corn in
this way, and the difference between
the two methods is more marked. Their
taking into consideration the extra la
Dor of picking, husking, drying the
ears and grinding the corn, the econ
omy of SLIDING the ears with the stalks
is very apparently. e. Homestead.

Does Farming Pay.

Much has been said about advantages
of farms during these hard times, but l
want to add word because it has been
so wildly brought TO my notice to-day.
A painter who has just finished JOB
for us said he did not know what to do
next-wished he owned farm or could
hire one, for he had orders to go some
hundred miles away to paint on a large
house. He said board ranged from
81. 80 to So per week; then there were
some days when he could not work,
and he had family at home to sup
port and could hardly make ends meet,
to say nothing of laying up anything.
His is only one case out OF hundred
that | could mention in this town; and
vet boys want to leave the farm to go to
painting, carpentering or standing be-
hind counters in stores which are almost
suffocating this warm weather, until
ten or eleven o'clock at night To be
sure, in some cases boys cannot be
blamed for wanting to leave the farm,
because their father is singing, morn
ing, noon and night, the old, old story
Farming don't pay" Still another
Casa man who has two grown sons
and two daughters, all at home but one.
Some one said, d" He ought to get liv-
ing"; but he told me the other morn
ing, " How can l get living if | can
not get work." This same man thinks
of getting farm. One word of eau
ton to the over-eager: You won't make
fortune on farm, and not much sue
cess, unless you mix brains with plenty
of hard work. Whoever heard of a

is of his own accord?-COmtrg Cen

The SOuthdOwns.

The following is condensed from the
report Of Secretary John G. Springer
at the late meeting of the American
Southdown Breeders Association:
The belief is that sheep. breeding in
this country will, to a large extent, be
changed from wool to mutton pro-
ducing industry. By CHS change
Southdown breeders have reason to
expect that their sheep will be in de-
mand, and they will have an opportu-
nifty that is not often presented for the
advancement of their interests. But
they must not expect that the advan-
tages the situation presents will be of
large benefit to them unless they use
energetic efforts in making known the
superiority of their sheep. The claims
of other breeds will be forcibly and
persistently presented by wide-awake,
progressive breeders, so that other
sheep may take the place that South.
downs should fill, if Southdown breed
ers fail TO forward their interests by
making it known in every possible
manner, and to all parts of the country,
that the SOuthdOwn is the best sheep
for the Western breeder of large focks,
as well as for the farmer keeping a
small number, because Cd They are
hardy, will flock in large numbers, re-
qure little care, will thrive on less feed
and therefore the best of any sheep for
arid and grainless regions. (2) They
are healthy, less liable to diseases than
other breeds; seldom have foot rot or
scab; are more prolific than other
breeds, frequently bringing twins and
often triplets, are good mothers, and
the lambs take care of themselves at an
early age; are early maturers, compar-
ing in weight at from six to ten months
old with the larger breeds, and always
heavier in proportion to size than other
sheep. (3) They are the best for NUT
ton; the meat is the best graded with
fat and lean, is the juicest and best
favored, will market more meat to the
acre, and to produce its meat costs less
than for any other sheep or domestic
animal. (4) Their wool is next to the
Merino in fineness and brings better
price than that of any other breed.
(5) They are of all sheep the most
beautiful in form, majestic in carriage,
and are an adornment as well as the
most useful and profitable of all domes.
tlc farm animals. (O) Ihey nave been
bred in purity longer, and are certain
in impressing their good qualities on
other breeds; all attempts by crossing
with other breeds to improve their good
qualities have proven failures-they
have been for many years, and remain
the recognized head of the mutton
breeds.
Comparing favorably with the Meri-
nos in tineness of wool, in ability to eX.
ist with little care and in large flocks in
the grainless parts of our country, and
superior to them in mutton qualities as
well as in less liability to the diseases
that have been so hurtful to the wool
growing industry, the Southdown is in
every respect the best, is the natural
cross for changing the Merino from
wool to mutton and yet retaining the
highest-priced wool.
