FE WEIR FAR RIM FENCES.

The old-fashioned zigzag, or "Vir-
ginia" rail, fences so common forty
years ago are now seldom seen, and
perhaps are never built. Stone walls
are cumbersome, often thrown
down by the frosts and subsequent
tina wing, and are not economical,
except on farms so covered with
stone that that it is of first impor-
tance to get rid of them. Post and
rail or slat fences are expensive,
more so in the aggregate than most
people would suppose without re-
Election on the subject. Wire fencing
is probably as cheap and lasting as
any in use. There are serious obiec-
tions to barbed wire, and MANY pre-
fer the smooth wire, either straight
woven or twisted or woven. But IS
1T necessary for farmers to build as
many fences of any kind as has been
the custom in the past? If the laws
which most states now have con-
corning cattle were respected and en-
forced, farmers would be relieved of
the necessity of fencing every foot
of their land bordering on the public
roads. Nearly every farm has fields
that are never pastured, and it
would seem, need not be enclosed.
The great burden upon farmers for
needless fencing is imposed not to
keep their own cattle in, but to keep
other peoples cattle OUT. I am
pleased to observe the tendency to
build fewer fences than formerly, not
only to subdivide farms, but espec-
tally along the highways. If these
are left unfenced and rows of shade
trees planted out on the boundary
lines, farmers will be saved a great
deal of labor and expense, and the
country roads be made more enj JOY
able and attractive.-[S B. Reach in

GRANGE NOTES.

Less of politics and more Of COM

will at once be convinced that his
antagonism or opposition is entirely
unjustifaDle.
Intelligence among the farming pop
ulation always produces thrift, and
thrift produces wealth. AS good
grange always results in greater
degree of intelligence among its mem
bers, there ought to be no serious
grange question as to whether the
paws or not There can be only
one answer.

grange meetings are held in New
England every month in the year

NET PROFIT.

The practical dairyman is running
his herd for the profit there is in it;
not for the glory he may attain by
having COWS that give a pile of
butter" l am aware that the latter
cannot be attained without liberal
feeding, but l am also aware that it
NAV be so wasteful that it ceases to
be profitable. If my observation
has taught me anything, it IS this:
that there is a limit up to which a
COW can pro6tably assimilate food,
and when you try to force her, by
feed, beyond that capacity, the ratio
of cost to production is SO increased
that economic production ceases.
While the decision in the World s
Fair tests to base award OF merit

mic feeding and was prohibitory OF

Agricultural Affairs,
THE RIGHT SORT OF BARNS.

American Cultivator says: There
is some difference between the mod
ern barns in which the manure never
freezes and the cattle never shlver
and those ancient structures with
the cracks between the boards
through which the wind could enter
freely and in which one needed to
chop the manure up with an axe be-
fore it could be shoveled out. This
difference means that a less amount
of food is needed to keep up the
animal heat, that more milk can be
produced for more months In the
year and that the farmer can milk
and care for his stock without suffer
ing from the cold. Again he is more
apt to be thorough about it than he
would be if it was zero weather in
the barn. We know of modern
barns in which water would not
freeze in our coolest nights yet they
are so well ventilated that there is
no disagreeable odor in them to be
impaired to the milk. Those who
have such barns make money farm
ing and enjoy the business at the
same time. On the other hand we

construction and detail that those
who work in them hate the milk
business and the COWS as well. de-
claring that there is no profit in the
the business. And, finally, we
should think the cows would hate
the one who owns them" This
would all have sounded we'll a year
ago, but now with these warm
barns turning out tuberculosis it
seems that this difference in barns
means something more. When the
cows see their companions drawn
out and killed by the score because
their lungs have been weakened and
diseased by warm, foul air and their
systems impaired by stimulating
food, they may think it would be
better to have crack for the wind
to blow through.

Poor Farm Inspection.

According to the requirements oil
law, the county commissioners today
made their annual visit to the pool
farm. By their kind invitation they
we're accompanied by Hon. W. j.
Lingenfelter. A. A. Richards, Ira
Dobbins and the editor of this paper,
and we want to express ourselves here
as having been entertained in royal
manner, and we are deeply indebted
to the county and the genius in the
culinary art of Mrs. G. A. Stewart,
our hostess, for one of the finest
dinners we have ever enjoyed. We
hope to be among the favored few
next time the commissioners make
their visit.
But the dinner was not all which
struck our fancy. The genial keeper
of the farm, Mr.. G. A. Stewart, took
Us around the premises and showed
US the products Of their industry.
The farm originally consisted Of 100
acres bought Of Mr.. Hastings for
the sum of 1850. But since that
time there has been a CessiOn of 70
acres made by the Water company
for the privilege Of placing the dam
where it is. On this farm, Mr.. Stew
art has raised in the past year, 1853
bushels of wheat, and 600 bushels of
corn, besides other classes of grain in
smaller amounts. A better yield OF
corn and wheat was realized from
this farm this year than from any
neighboring farms. Neither is there
any necessity for selling the grain at
the present low prices, for on the
place are found Is head of hogs, 7
head Of cattle, and 4 head Of horses,
besides poultry of all kinds. We
visited the orchards also and found
them well cultivated and well cared
for, but badly injured by Wellington's
fearful cyclone.
The commissioners discussed the
ACCESSIBILITY of planting another
orchard just ACROSS the creek from
the house, but have not fully decided
as to what they will do in the matter.
They also considered the matter,
and decided that it would be the
better policy to sell some of the live
stock at once, rather than buy FEED to
keep it.
The commissioners express them
selves as being perfectly satisfied
with the management of Mr.. Stewart
and consider themselves fortunate in
having secured himin charge
Altogether, the visit was Almost en-
ioyable one, the pleasure of which
was greatly enhanced by the good
nature displayed in jokes too nGfher-
Gus to mention.
Much credit from the county is due
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart for their dis
erection in managing the affairs COM
mitted to their charge. The county
could not make better choice.
Success to them, and many thanks
for the royal manner in which we
we're entertained.-DGily Mail.

OF a hollow tube leading into the
cavity Of hemisphere, which acts as
socket for a round wooden ball.
The experiment is to ascertain what
the effect would be upon the ball
placed in the cavity, if one should
blow through the tube into the
cavity. Anybody would naturally
expect the force of air to drive the
ball before it, but instead of doing
so, it puts the ball in rotary motion
