Cow with Queer Appetite.

Occasionally we hear of cattle that
develop an abnormal appetite for
WOOD, eating rotten pieces of boards,
etc. contributor to National Stock
nan states that at one Crawford
county institute a gentleman COM
planned that one Of his cows had
eaten pig-pen, string of fence and
other lumber on the premises, and he
mad been compelled to fence her away
from the barn to save it. He has fed
her many and various feeding stuffs,
besides bonemeal, sawdust and other
slde-dishes. With lumber at present
prices, the cow has expensive tastes.
ne wishes to know what produced the
appetite, and what will cure it. He
thinks he has provided foods that fur
nlsn all the mineral elements needed,
sna the inclination TO chew sticks and
guards seems now 10 be only vicious
habit.

CONVENIENT RAIL FENCE.

just above rail with long staple, doing
same at both ends; put on another rail
as before, and continue till top of posts
is reached, which completes the first
panel. The other panels are made in
the same way, taking care not TO have
both ends of the panel on the same side
of posts, but run alternately as started.
The illustration shows the way rails
are stapled to posts and the manner OF
running panels. As the rails when put
on posts in this way do not touch each
other they will last longer than when
put on any other way; and | like this
method of making use of old rails very
well, for by setting posts and using a
little wire a good fence can be made
from very poor one. Build six to eight
rails high. Should post rot off any
time set another near it and fasten
rails as before. - j. G.. Allshouse, in

HOW TO PREVENT FLIES,
First Essential Is the Removal of
Filth and Trash, Their Natural
Breeding Ground.

One of the greatest nuisances abou.
farm is the pest of flies in the sum-
mer and fall. 1t would be hard to
estimate the loss occasioned by them
every year about the barns, dairy and
feed-lots. No COW can do herself JUS
tice where she is forced to keep up a
continued battle with swarm of
flies from daylight until dark. Wor-
rying at the flies is more wearing on
team than hard labor The cause
OF pastured and fattening stock los
ing flesh in the summer is the flies.
As with most evils, the best cure is
prevention. To prevent the pest one
must remove their breeding ground,
which is the filth and trash about the
premises. 1t is the case on most
farms that the manure-heaps are al
lowed to accumulate during the sum-
mer and the yards to go uncleaned.
these furnish the best of breeding
places for the flies. Swill barrels and
buckets, too, are never washed out,
out are allowed to sour and become
inerusted with dirt, another source
OF flies. In feeding the hogs and
calves milk and slop are spilled about
the troughs and barrels day after
Gay. The ground thus treated soon
becomes hotbed for the eggs, which
Will hatch and feed there. Open
closets and uncovered drains are an
other source, as is any place where
there is decayed matter or filth for
the maggots to thrive upon after
Matching. Flies are far more of
local pest than most people imagine.
a farmhouse whose grounds are kept
clean and whose back yard is free
from refuse, slops, ETC., will be little
troubled with flies. Stock kept in a
clean stable or lot will be less troubled
taan the animals of the untidy, shift
less farmer. Cleanliness and flies do
not thrive together.]. L. Irwin, in
Farm and Fireside.

Asheville, the center of this beautiful
morntain-hemmed plateau, is the highest
city east of Denver, and is busy, thriving
place of 1900 inhabitants, with all the
modernisms of city life. The city lies just
at the point where the beautiful French
Broad and Swannanoa Rivers join their
crystal waters.
Within the city or in it's suburbs many
people of wealth have built beautiful and
expensive homes, and most notable among
them being the chateau of Mr.. George w.
Vanderbilt, which, with its great estate, has
cost upwards of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year resort, for the
great mountains protect it in the winter
from the cold winds, and its summer climate
is made delightful because of its altitude.

WANT GOOD ROADS.
The Farmers of Pennsylvania Are Bee
ginning to Pay Attention to the
Cost of Hauling.

The subject of good roads is begin
ming to occupy the attention of the
farmers of Pennsylvania, and prom
ises to become, before long, a prom
inent factor in state and county cleo
tons.
In a recent address at Doylestown
Edmund G. Harrison, chief engineer
of the United States department Of
road inquiry, said the average cost OF
transporting products in the United
States over common roads is rs cents
per mile, an aggregate of SS00,00o,-
coo. With good roads, such as they
have in many parts of New Jersey,
Connecticut, New York, Massachu-
setts and Kentucky, he said, the cost
is reduced to eight cents per mile.
The average of building good roads is
about $4,000 per mile.
According to these figures, it is
much cheaper to maintain good roads
than it is to allow the poor ones to re-
main. Good roads practically effect
saving of two-thirds in transportation.
The residents of cities have learned
to realize the benefits of improved
highways. 1t is safe to assert that
Philadelphia would not go back to the
old era of cobblestone paving and
reeking cutters if they had to sell the

which they are situated.--Philadelp
