OF FENCES.
The Tax Is Not the Cost OF
Lumber But the Reckless
Waste of Soil.

Farmers as a rule are too extrava-
CANT in building fences. 1t is rot in
the fences themselves that the loss
comes in. Fences are a necessity, and
a farm without good ones is a hard
thing to manage; but. as in all farm
work. careful forethought and plan
ming should be home before the fence
Is put up. If it is possible to get on
without it, do so. Every fence on the
farm wastes more or less land. The
first cost of a good fence is no small
item, but Insignificant when compared
with the expense of maintaining plus
the value of the land which it oecu-
pies that will become almost useless.
Every man who has had experience
knows that with a hedge fence the
soil for nearly a rod on each side will
grow little of any crop. How much
good land will be taken in by half a
mile of that fence? What would be
the value of the crop grown one year
on that Land? Multiply that by ter
years, and add the wages paid out to
a man during that time to keep the
fence in shape, and you will be set
to thinking by the result. L. Ir.

A Place for the Goat.

On a good many of our farms there
is a place k< the goat. Sheep will
eat a large number of weeds and are
very ~serviceable in that regard. but
the goat carries the same idea to a far
greater length. Sheep are grazer
primarily and browsers incidentally.
But goats are browsers by nature.
They will live and flourish where
even a sheep will grow thin. Kinds
of feed hat would send the sheep
into the sick list will support the
goat and make him fat. A writer on
goats says that they will pass by cul-
tivated grasses to get at burdocks.
mullen and thistles. The bushes that
are constantly springing up on our
waste hillsides might be kept down
by goats. There is no doubt that a
million or SO of goats could be dis
tributed among our farms without in
any way interfering with the stock
now being kept.-Farmers' Review.

SOME PROFITABLE PIGS.
Months by Judicious Feeding
and Sanitary Surroundings.

Pigs may be easily made to weigh
BOO pounds at six months if properly
fed.
L give my experience with a litter of
eight pigs narrowed on June 6, last
year. The sow and pigs were allowed
the run of a 15-acre grass pasture,
which was kept picked pretty close by
dairy cows They had free access to a
river and plenty of cool shade. The
SOW was fed twice a day all she could
eat of buttermilk. with bran stirred in
till it was a thick sop. and the pigs
we're allowed to eat with her when large
enough, care being taken to feed
enough so hat a very little bit would
be left in the trough when they were
all full.
They had nothing else fed to them
till tive and a half months old, when
they were taken from the SOW. The
milk and bran ration was continued,
and one ear Of corn for each pig was
added. At our months of age the milk
and corr were discontinued. The pigs
were placed in a half-acre lot and fed
all they would eat clean. three times a
day, equal measure of bran and corn
meal ground fine, mixed thoroughly
and wet to make a stiff dough. At five
months the pigs were placed in a hoored
pen, and fed one month all they could
eat, three times a day. on a dough made
of two measures of corn meal to one of
bran.
On the Sth of December the pigs were
slaughtered. / weighed the one that
looked to be the largest, after it was
killed, but before it had been dressed
1t weighed $50 pounds. 1 don't think
any one of the pigs would have weighed
less than 200 pounds on foot. They
were not thoroughbred pigs. but were
crossed with Yorkshire. Berkshire, Po-
land China, and perhaps some scrub"
I believe a thoroughbred trough" ia
better than a thoroughbred pig. Ineg,
lected to say that these pigs had ac'
cess to salt and ashes at all times: and

hog that had salt and ashes before il
at all times, and had some bran fed to
it every day.-R. II. Carson. in Country

When a preparation has an advertised rep
utation that is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. Ii you go into
a store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Casearets Candy
Cathartie for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The Judgment
of the people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to sell you
something else" In place of the article you
ask for, has an ak to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
is not what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
our of your credulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try TO sell you a substitute for Cascarets
IS a fraud. Beware of him. He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits of a repu-
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to
go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats
his customer in one way, he will in another
and It is not safe to do business with him.

TIMELY e NOTES.

Every farm where a flock is kept
should have its patch of fax grown
for the seed for the use of the ewes
and lambs.
In the United States we now have
nine sheep to every $40 acres. In
England they have pa on the same
area of land. There is a chance for
improvement here.
AS soon as the sheep are sheared
the ticks gather on the lambs, much to
their discomfort and damage. The
easiest remedy is to dip the lambs.
or to wet the skin all over with any
good sheep dip.
Scours in young lambs may be
checked by giving them 10 drops of
this mixture: One dram each of tine
ure of opium, ginger, rhubarb and
cordamon seed. It is a cordial and
a preventive of trouble Of this kind.
and should be given in a little water
twice a day, or in bad cases three or
four times. Give three times as mich

The Dreamaway place.


The Dreamaway Place Is down by the
brook,
In a cool retreat where tall trees grow;
The moss is soft in the shadowy nook.
And there's music made by the waters
flow,
And you lie at ease and upward look,
And dream the happiest dream you know
A great rock shelters the Dreamway Place.
Afording ever the coolest shade.
The green leaves waver like filmy lace
A fairy veil DER the whole spot laid
And lilies bow with a winning grace
On the edge of the brook in the quiet
glade
Oh, the Dreamaway Place is a remedy sure
Fol worry and heartache and petty care,
And the wild birds song can always cure,
And a tonic turks in the scented air;
The spirit groweth strong and pure,
With an hours repose in Dreamland
there.

The cup Is often bitter
And the path is often steep,

Just before he goes to sleep.
