Stone Fences,

While the stone fences common in
all sections where stone abounds cost
nothing for material, and with hard
work are therefore within any ones
ability to construct, they are not usual
ly very satisfactory. Horned stock
soon learn that the top stones can be
easily displaced and then the fence can
be jumped. The best way to stop
jumping is to place barbed wire over
the fence, fastening it to stakes firmly
in the ground. 1t may seem cruel, but
the stock must learn not to jump, and
they won't get hurt. But when sheep
have learned to jump low stone wall,
even q barbed wire over it will not
stop them. There must be several
wires, so close together that the sheep
cannot get their heads between. That
will stop the first sheep, and no one of
the flock will try to jump after the
leader has turned back.

A GOOD MEMORY.
Witness Caused Shivers to Run up and down
the Lawyers Back.
Love


cit isn't often,' said the well-known
attorney, as he smiled to himself,
"that witness gets the best of a
lawyer. But I remember one that got
the best of me in a way that caused
the shivers to run up and down my
back.
"a good many years ago I was re-
tanned upon, a line fence suit between
two old farmers. 1t had been in the
courts for ten years, and bid fair to
be there for ten more unless the
parties became bankrupt in the mean
while.
'It was my first appearance in the
matter, l having taken the place OF
one of the lawyers who died.
II was very, very young. In fact, it
was my first case, and l felt my i'm
portance more than l do now after
thirty years Of hard grind.
Among the witnesses was an old
farmer that I knew personally, having
been born and brought up i'll the same
neighborhood.
HE was put on the stand to swear
to some facts that happened ten years
back, and when he was turned over
to me for cross examination l pro-
ceeded to test the value of his men,
Dry dating so far back.
"'Do you mean to say began
sternly, that you can remember a
mere incident that happened ten
years ago?
Eyes, SIR he answered.
"'Then, perhaps said I, sarcastic
ally. you con remember something
else that happened upon that particu-
lar day?

water Horses Freouent1y.

1t Is not natural for the horse to go
long without drink Of water. His
stomach Is small and cannot hold a
water supply for long time. Water
ing morning, noon and night when at
work in summer time is none too often.
II the work Is very heavy two table
spoonfuls Of oat meal stirred in the pail
will make the horse drink better, and
will also prevent so much cold water
from injuring his stomach. 1t is mis-
take to suppose that a horse or any
other domestic animal prefers to drink
water only a few degrees above the
freezing temperature. If it Is luke
warm the horse will drink more freely
and the water will be less apt to injure
him

Keep the Meadow Clean.

Briers, bushes and weeds really have
no place in the meadows or cultivated
fields, and their growth should be care
fully kept down. Every farmer ought
to have some sort of rotation of crops
for his land, and of kind that expert
ence teaches him is best for his pur-
poses. But even with this, from vari-
Gus causes, special work will need to be
done from time to time. 1t is desirable
to have the best possible returns from
the moving fields, and as the crop was
being secured it was quite easy to note
what particular places or fields needed
most attention. There are some por
tons of the meadows on most farms
that it is rather difficult to plow and
cultivate, but yet with proper treatment
can be made to produce excellent crops
of hay If these can be made smooth
for the harvesting machinery and q
good sward secured, they can be kept in
condition fer long time with blowing
by frequent top dressings of manure

Fine pastures make fine focks, and
this fine Lincolnshire sheep is reared on
the richest pastures Of the world, as
well as fed on the succulent roots
grown on the fertile farms.
Recently this sheep has come into the
forefront as an improver of the native
focks of Australia and South America,
the half-bred mutton making the finest
shipping mutton for the English mar
kets. The ram whose portrait is given
was purchased from the leading flock
in Lincolnshire, England, for the sum
Of one thousand pounds sterling, an
amazing figure for something over
three hundred pounds of mutton. But
the animal was unquestionably worth

Clover Fails on Glover Sod.

Glover Fails on Glover Sod.
Almost all farmers know that it is
not safe to pillow a clover sod, or, in
fact, any other sod in the fall, and then
sow wheat with the expectation of get
ting a clover catch from seed next
spring. There have been various rea-
sons assigned for this, the old one be-
ing that the clover sod while 1t is rot
ting in the soil "poisons" the land for
clover until the routing is completed.
But it Is quite as impossible to seed
with clover on any newly plowed sod,
and that disposes of the clover-poison-
Ding theory. The true explanation seems
ito be that when sod Of any kind is de-
caying under the furrow it allows the
soil above 1T to fall down, thus destroy
ing the slight hold which the young
clover plant has, and obliging 1t to re-
gain its hold before the leaf willis and
kills the root. Glover will come up
well enough ON a clover or any other
kind of sod, but unless there are al
most constant rains during the spring
little of 1T will live. Even timothy
seeding does not do well on a newly
plowed sod, though in young plants the
proportion of leaf to root is much less
in the grass than it is in any kind of
clover.

Don't Borrow.

I have found it q great mistake to-
make a practice of borrowing what we
need from neighbors. l have also been
troubled a good deal by neighbors COM
ing to borrow. One of my neighborS
has one thing or the other over there
nearly all the time, while | have Dor
rowed but one thing from him in the
last few years. But when he comes to
borrow, of course, give with willing
heart, for were | to refuse him he
would regard me as an enemy, and
would rather give him what he wants
than be his enemy. l would rather buy
on time than borrow and be disliked by
the neighbors. With things of our own
we can go ahead with our work With
out waiting for neighbors to get
through. A man is welcome to borrow
from me if he will bring the article
home when l want 1t. But they often
forget this, and wear them out faster
than would myself.-M. w. Yoder, iB

When Papa,s Sick.

When papa's sick, my goodness sakesf
Such awful, awful times it makes,
He speaks in oh! such lonesome tones,
And gives such ghas'ly kindsef groans,
And rolls his eyes and holds his head,
And makes ma help him up to bed;
While Sis and Bridget run to heat
Hot water bags to warm his feet,
And must get the doctor quick
We have to jump when papa's sick.
When papa's sick ma has to stand
Right side the bed and hold his hand,
While Sis she has to fan an fan,
For he says he's "a dyin' man."
And wants the children round him to
Be there when "sufferin' pa gets through"S
He says he wants to say good-by
And kiss us all and then he'll die;
Then means and says his "breathin's
Thick
It's awful sad when papa's sick.
When papa's sick he acts that way
Until he hears the doctor say.
You've only got cold, you know,
You'll be all right'n day or So
And then-well, say! you ought to see,
He's different as he can be,
And growls and swears from noon to night
Just cause his dinner amt cooked right,
And all he does is fuss and kick
We're all used up when papa's sick.

An EnglishwOman's Fad.

The daughter of an English country
gentleman prides herself on possessing
the largest and most comprehensive
collection of luggage and hotel labels
in existence. In the albums in which
these specimens are pasted can be
found labels from all quarters of the
globe. San Francisco hotels are repre-
scented by fully half dozen examples.
There are no fewer than 1856 from rail-
WAYS and hotels of the Indian Empire,
Canada, Samoa, New Zealand, China,
Japan, Cairo, Russia, Asiatic Turkey;
all have their sections allotted to them,
the European specimens, obtained
while travelling, from friends, or by
letter application, numbering some
thousands. Another English woman )
pet hobby is a marvellous collection of
all sorts and sizes of buttons. Many
are yeritable works of art. The most
valuable, or rather the rarest, are two
Chinese official buttons, which in real
ity are decorations, and buttons from
the garments known to have been
worn by Marat, Robespierre, Charles
Dickens Walter Scott, Washington,
Nelson, Byron, Defoe, George H..
George III, Napoleon, Wellington, Bis
marck, Irving, Garfield and numerous
other celebrities of both sexes. The
collection numbers some 10000 speci-
mems. ranging from the commonest
bone buttons to enamel ones set ia
gems valued at as much as $1,750.-.

Dehorning Young Calves

Preventing horns from coming is bet
ter than cutting them off after they
have formed. If when q calf is a few
weeks old the head is examined, the
place where the horns will appear can
be plainly seen. Get stick of caustic
potash and apply it to this spot, first re-
moving the hair, and hold the potash
there until it makes slight sore. There
are few or no nerves where the horn is
formed, and this sore will not affect the
calf injuriously in any way.

Odoriferous Feet.

Few things are more insufferable to,
their possessor or to the public at large
than feet with an odor. 1t is worth
knowing, however, that this trouble
may be corrected. The remedy, as.
given by one who has had occasion to
try it, Is as follows: Dissolve one half
cup powdered boraX in a gallon of hot
water, and soak the feet in this from
five to twenty five minutes. Then add
one teacupful of vinegar. Scrub the,
feet thoroughly, using strong soap,
suds. Rinse in tepid water, then in
cold, and dry thoroughly, rubbing with
a heavy towel

Strainiuc Milk,

There are some points about strain
ing milk that are not generally thought
of, and therefore the milk is not wholly
cleared Of it's bacteria. In the first
place 1t is important that the milk
should be put through the strainer and
set where its cream is to rise as soon
as possible after it comes from the COW.
It often accumulates bacteria very rap
idly If left in stables exposed to foul
odors. Besides, if left long some of the
cream will rise and will be so mixed
with the milk that what does not cling
to the strainer cloth or wire will not
rise as cream again. The strainer
should be thoroughly washed by dip
ping it first in cold water and moving
it rapidly through both ways, so that
bacteria will not adhere to the under
side, as they are apt to do If the rinsing
water Is merely poured on the strainer
from above. Then repeat this process
with water pretty near scalding heat.
In that way if there are any bacteria
on the strainer they will be killed.

Rusty Nails for Borera.

that have borne fruit for n long time
that when first set out were greatly

were destroyed before some friend sug-

trunks near the ground where they
work. Since doing this not a borer has
ever troubled them. G. S. III.
