prised her friends by announcing at
table one night that she would 60 to
London in June to see the jubilee pro
cession. Some Of her relatives warmed
her of the burdens of age and failing
health, but she would not listen to
their objections.
II know" she said, "that am
eighty three, but was in Westminster
Abbey when the Queen was crowned,
and shall go UP to London to see the
jubilee parade"
The objectors shifted their ground.
They mentioned the high prices which
windows and platfornl-seats were al.
ready commanding, and suggested that
she was hardly rich enough to hire
any place along the six-mile route.
Il shall arrange that little detail" !"
she replied, confidently. Il shall write
to the Queen about 1t. She will know
my name, for 1t Is one of the oldest in
England. She will insist upon having
q seat provided for me.n a
The old Lads enthusiasm amused her
friends, but she was wiser than they
were. She wrote respectful letter to
the queen, relating her good fortune in
having been witness to the corona
ton service, and also Of the first jubilee
festivities ten years ago. and adding
that although she was 50 and very
feeble, she was bent upon going up to
London and seeing the second jubilee
show.
The letter was sent to Windsor pal.
ace, and was answered by the Queen
herself with little delay. She was
touched by the old lady's anxiety to
witness the parade, and moreover rec-
ognlzed the name as one which had
come down from the era Of the Norman
Conquest. The reply was cordial and
gracious. and was In the Queens own
hand. She thanked her correspondent
for the loyal interest displayed, and ttn.
nounced that she had given orders that
a window In Buckingham Palace
should be reserved for her on the day
Of the jubilee parade. She hoped that
one Of the oldest and most respected Of
her subjects would live to occupy q
seat In the window.

A CHICKEN-PROOF FENCE.


I have tried various moods of fen
cling chicken yards with more or less
success, but have never found any,
thing that gave really good satisfac-
ton until recently. One of my former
difficulties was so to arrange the posts
that the fowl could not alight ON the
tops and then hop out.
Two years ago I built another yard
and worked another idea into my
fence. l procured some short posts,
four or five feet long, and placed them
in the ground the usual depth. then
finished out the remaining necessary
height by mailing three-inch board to
the outer edge, so that 1t made the post
six and half feet high. At the bot
tom I placed two siX-inch boards five
inches apart. l then used fiye-foot
netting, which was put on in the usual
way, making fence between six and
seven feet high.
# were to build the fence again, l
should do everything as l did before,
except, possibly make my post seven
feet high, as l found later that I could
have easily stretched the netting the
extra distance. In fact, to give the
netting good shape, l was obliged to
nail it from four to eight inches below
the top of my baseboards. think,
also, should place my posts eight feet
apart, instead of twelve, as l now have
them. l find the wider the netting, the
nearer the posts should Bee. P.

THE FARM AND GARDEN,
ITEMS OF INTEREST ON ACRlCOL'
TURAL TOPICS.
Wheat After Potatoes...The Tide Turns
Preparing currant cuttings-'Cheap
Storage for Roots, ETC., Etc.
WHEAT AFTER POTATOES.


The potato crop always leaves the
soil full of nitrogenous plant food de-
veloped by the all-summer cultivation
which for the potato crop is still fur
ther aided by the stirring of the soil
required in digging potatoes. Thus, af-
ter potato crop, wheat will bear to be
sown later than it can be after spring
grain. We have sown wheat the first
week in October after a crop of late
potatoes, and it wintered we'll. 1t is
best not to plow the potato ground be-
fore sowing; rake off and burn the taps
and then use the cultivator and roller
alternately until firm seed-bed is
made.

HOGS ON THE DAIRY FARM.


When there is ND demand for the
skimmilk of dairy farm, some meth
cd must be devised for disposing Of it
to the best advantage, says e. r.
Towle, of Vermont, in the New Eng,
land Homestead. One very good way
is to keep hogs; with the average
size dairy quite number can be kept
to advantage.
At present the market demand Is for
light hogs or well-fed pigs weighing
about 200 pounds. TO supply this will
require more pigs that must be dis
posed Of at six or eight months, old.
This means the raising or purchasing
of more stock, and as the last will
require quite an outlay the first
should be practiced when possible.
Much will depend on the sow for
this purpose. Some are quiet, gentle
and make good mothers, while fully as
often they are just the reverse. II a
sow proves to be good mother it
will be found far better to keep her
steadily at raising pigs rather than
changing every year. have a SOW
which nas averaged two litters an
nually for the past four years. Each
litter had eight pigs which lived. She

easily kept when not sucking pigs and

With dairy of eighteen cows l

eight months of age, and are always

MINERS CONVENTION.
Another Disagreement Between OPP
orators and Workers Probable.
STRIKE AMONG POSSIBILITIES.

Tho Working Miners VIII Demand O
Rate Which VIII Doubtless Be Re-
IL !jected by the Empioyers-Wil Ig-
Il more the New Mining Law Entirely.
y Plttsburg, Dec. 21.-The coal oper-
ators and miners held separate conven-
tions yesterday, preliminary to today's
Joint convention for the purpose of
fixing the mining rate for 1885, Both
conventions were largely attended, and
the important questions which are to
come up today were thoroughly dis
cussed. Judging from the results of
yesterdays work 1t would appear that
today's convention will not fix the rate,
and another general strike Is one of
the possibilities.
The miners convention was asked
by the uniformity committee to allow
a differential of ten cents In favor of
the operators who sign the uniformity
agreement. The miners, by a meager
majority, decided to allow the differ
entlal, but when the matter was
brought before the operators conven-
tlon 1t was ignored. Thus 1t looks as
though uniformity in the Pittsburg
district Is remote.
! On the rate question the miners
passed a. resolution which means a
I complicated fight. In spite Of the fact
that the courts have 5uled that the new
mining law Is ltional, the
resolution, demands a rate of 40 cents
a ton for coal as it comes from the
mine, without being screened. The
operators decided to ignore the new
mining law entirely
Both conventions favored an attempt
to bring about an interstate conven-
tlon Of operators and miners, to be held
at Columbus, O., some time next month
for the purpose of fixing the mining
rate for the several states.
