Permanent Fences.

The farmer should avoid building
temporary fences, unless 1t is his in
tention to remove them occasionally
10 make way for his rotation OF crops.
Most farmers, however. do not do this:
but expect always to keep one fence in
place. One cause of loss on American
farms is the lack OF permanency in the
fences. A man should build a fence
that will last a lifetime, says the
Farmers Review. he should select
posts that will not decay and have
them so long that he can set them
deeply in the ground. In fact, they
should be set so that neither the frosts
nor gales nor foods can shake them.
1t takes little longer to build a
fence of this kind, but in the years to
come the extra labor at the beginning

THINKS FOR THE FARMER.

The cross-eyed person shows that
there's more than one way Of looking
at things.
Don't judge the country by the land
along the railroad track.
Old blood is thin and runs slowly:

The size OF the kernels of seed corn
should be as nearly uniform as pos
siole. No one who plants grain from
tips and butts can expect an even
stand.
If there are thin places in your pas
lures. put the feeding boxes or salt
boxes around them. The droppings
from the animals will be helpful in
building UP those spots.

DISEASE OF lNEBRIETY.
A Medical View Of Drunkenness and
Some Theories as to It's
Treatment.

The disease Of inebriety is a condI-
ton Of morbid impulse, in which the
patient is impelled TO secure relief
from a state Of exhaustion and feeling
OF want which nothing but alcohol
can crafty. II is not q matter OF
reason or judgment, but an insane i'm
pulse which so pervades the system
and controls 1t as to dominate every
Other instinct. There may be stages
OF this impulse in which 1t is weak
and can be- diverted by drugs or rene
dial measures. There are other stages in
which nothing but force can prevent the
person from gratifying this impulse
II We could determine the degree and
intensity OF this impulse, we should be
able to apply the exact means, but not
knowing this and attempting TO use
uniform remedies mistakes will occur.

ONE CASE.
How an injury Was Followed by
Periodic Cases OF Drunk
enness.

This incident is by no means rare,
but fits significance has not yet been
realized. A temperate, hard-working
man was made unconscious by the
kick OF a horse on his head. The
next morning he awoke and demanded
spirits. Whisky was given him, and
he soon became intoxicated. On re-
coNery he demanded more, and con-
tinued 20 drink TO intoxication for the
next three days. then a pronounced
epileptic paroxysm came on from
which he recovered. Two months later
he began to drink again. becoming
wildly intoxicated, then recovered.
From this time on for the next i've
years until his death from an accident,
he was a periodic drinker. and when
intoxicated was very dangerous. The
free intervals were marked by intense
efforts TO help himself. and great con-
triton for his condition. He was
treated as n moral delinquent who
could have helped himself. but did not
care TO do sO.-Journal Of Inebriety.

MANNER OF BUILDING THE PILE.

Build a fire in the center OF the top
OF the heap and allow II to burn down

another row Of holes about half way
down the sides OF the pile. AS smoke
ceases to come out OF these holes make
others below and stop those above.
With some woods considerable tar and
acid will be formed. which must be
drained of from the bottom Of the pile
by a ditch.
When smoke no longer comes out OF
the holes they are stopped and the whole
pile allowed 90 cool two or three days.
Then remove the soil and sort the
charcoal, putting any that is still HOT
into water and quench Il. n thorough
