Farm Fences.

At recent western institute one of
the speakers said: in summing up
this question, will say without fear
of successful contradiction that the ex-
perience of the farmers of this coun-
try has demonstrated the following
facts:
First-That the wooden age. in farm
fence building has passed, and the iron
age is on.
Second-That woven wire fence will
be the kind of fence that the farmer
will build in the future.
Third-That it should be made on
the farm and by the farmer.
Fourth-That the use of barbed wire
fence is cruelty to animals, and a
menace to property, and should go.
Fifth-That a simple cheap and dur
able machine for weaving wire fence
is great want at this time.
Sixth-That when such machine is
placed within the easy reach of all
the evolution in fence building will
cease for many years, and new epoch
will have set in; and,
Lastly, the average farmer fences
too much, and in some cases he should
not fence at all-Farming World.

Great Eastern railway has perfected
system of suburban parcel delivery
that works admirably. From the out

miles-an agricultural country in the
main-the passenger trains bring into
London and to the neighboring sea
resorts all kinds of produce packed IN
boxes of definite size and shape which
are furnished by the company at from
four to eleven cents. The service fee
is moderate, eight cents for less than
twenty pounds, two cents additional
for each five pounds, up to sixty
pounds, above which the fee is twenty
five cents. Stamps affixed to each
package show prepayment. The com
pany publishes two pamphlets, one Civ
ing the names of producers who use the
service; the other. the names Of
season-ticket owners who are in con
slant need of such produce. The
success of the plan was immediate.

PouItry.Yard Notes.

Fowls will endure dry cold better
than damp.
Buckwheat, barley and oats make a
good variety.
The large breeds, as rule, are the
best for the table.
Good laying hens are neither hungry
nor too fat.
The best plan is to give good var
iety of both cooked and dry food.
Use carbolic acid occasionally in the
dust bath to destroy the lice.
Paralysis in chickens is often due to
overlooking and lack of exercise.
Wheat, corn and buckwheat fed to
fattening fowls will whiten the flesh.
Reduce the winter stock of poultry
to layers as much as possible.
Dry-picked poultry is considered
the best; pick 7rhile the flesh is warm.
The ducks Intended for winter and
spring layers should not be made too
fat.
1t is often a good plan to feed corn
Smelling.
Well-fed fowls rarely become over
fat when they are compelled to
scratch among litter for their grain.
So far as possible in feeding, scat
ter the grain so that the whole flock
will have an equal chance.
The winter care of fowls is an easier
matter than the summer because there
is less liability of disease.
Never try to stimulate egg produc-
ton with irritating condiments, as
they usually do more harm than good.
Hens will not lay when their combs
are frosted. This is one reason why
warm, dry quarters are necessary.
Hardness, vitality and vigo-r of con-
stitution are of more Importance in
poultry for profit than all other quail
ties combined.-Western Fruit Grow

A CONTRAST.
Difference Between American and En-
slish Newspapers.

gish Newspapers.
The American newspaper isLfrom
one point-of-view, at least-much more
open than the English; there is no in
fiuence whatever that will induce the
average American journalist to sup
press what he considers to be news,
however embarrassing the disclosure
may be to the government, notifying
to individuals, or discreditable to the
general reputation of the community.
The result of his ferreting out every
fact of interest, and perfect candor
and unshrinking holiness in publish
ing it, is that foreigners obtain the
impression from reading American
journals that American life, in all of
its branches, social, political, COM
mercial and financial, is the most cor
rupt in existence; but this is because
all that is bad is dragged into light
If the press of Europe today were as
candid, bold, and thorough as the
American press, there would be
spread abroad as deep an impression
of corruption in some branches of
European life-in the social and
financial, certainly; perhaps, in the
commercial. though not in the politi-
eal-as now prevails about Ameri-
can life.
How long would the American press
have refrained from exposing the in
efficiency and incompetency which the
English, themselves, admit they have
in too many cases shown in the boer
war, had that war been one In which
the United States was engaged? I'M
like the contest with the beers, the
Spanish-American contest was tri-
umph from beginning to end; and, yet,
this did not deter pitiless exposure
at the moment of every error of judg-
ment and of every instance of cor
ruption that marked its progress. If
the boer war had been an American
enterprise, not a single transaction
would have been left in the dark I;
there would have been no veil to tear
away from its events when the con-
hict was over, because no veil would
have been permitted to exist from the
beginning; nor would any man have
been too high in rank, though sec
rotary of war or comman6er-in-chief
to be held up to condemnation II In

Good Outlook For Peaches.

A dispatch in the Morning News
from Fort Valley, Ga, contained thg
information that the outlook for
good yield Of peaches in that locality
is very promising. That is the grea.
peach section Of the state, and IL the
crop is good there it is safe to say
1t is good in most other parts of the
state. The crop will not be as large
parhaps as it was last year, but the
peaches will be much finer, because
the trees are not so heavily laden.
And being finer, they will command a
better price. 1t would not be surpris.
ing If the crop this year brought more
money into the state than the crop
of any previous year. The railroads
will not do as well, because they will
not get SO many carloads to haul, but
they will be benefited by the increase
in the states prosperity.-Savann

about as small demaud for education
as one can make, People who have
paid the most attention. TO domestic
training and have studied it from the
scientific side. women who are leaders
in school established for the study
of domestic science and for work along
the line of child study, will readily
acknowledge that the college woman
is the one who is taking the lead IN
the most important line Of home and
child culture, is having the greatest
success in making her home what it
should be and caring for her children
as they should be cared for. The
college education results in such train
ing of mind and heart that the college
woman is more likely to appreciate
and set high value on those thing
which help to make a happy home
Mrs. G. p. Williams. cf Milwaukee,.
also an alumnus of the University of
Wisconsin, said: THE people to be
consulted with in regard to this ques-
ton are the husbands of college wives.
| think that broad, general and
liberal education should make any
woman better able to fill her position
in life, whether it be that of house
keeping or teaching. The education
Which one gets in the college OF today
is not mere collection of facts. but 1t
consists of that broadening and de-
veloping of character which helps to
fit a woman for whatever position In
life she may be called upon to fill.
Statistics 80 to prove that the per
cent of divorces between husbands
and college-bred wives and the per
cent. of mortality among children
whose mothers have been college-bred
are lower than in any other cor
responding classes"
Mrs. George w. Peckham. of Mil.
waukee, who was graduated from
Vassar, says: Prof. Clark. in making
such statement. certainly cast more
disrespect on himself than he did ON
college women. Their lives speak for
themselves, they speak louder than
anything else. ! think that the
average American man would be quite
as willing to advocate the college
education for women as for those of
his own sex. True. our girls do not
find much time to give to the study of
domestic science while they are In
school, but the woman who has had
the advantage of mind training Is
more able to do the work of the home
when she sees she has it to do, than
she would be without this training.
II she have special taste for the
domestic, she will learn it. no matter
how much time she may give to the
development of her intellectual
powers"
