Complains Of Fence Law.

Corn standing IN d field, and hay

q man may have q good fence but
his neighbor won't make his lawfnl,

MAINTAINING FERTILITY.

1t rs an old rule that proper field cu.-
ture should be the same as for gar
den SPOT. which is to use plenty OF
manure on small areas. work the soil
10 a fine condition for seed, keep DOVE
the grass and weeds and make every
inch of space produce to its fullest
CAPACITY instead of wasting time, la
Dor and manure over large fields that
can not be properly cultivated. Every
farmer knows that plant food in the
form of manure and fertilizer give
increased yields. but it may be waste
of labor not to perform the work OF
APPLYING such to the field at the prop
er times. Work improperly done Is
sometimes waste of labor and on
many farms there is often too much
work done for the results gained. fire.
quently the mistakes made being pre-
meditated and in defiance of expert
ence and reason. All plants require
sufficient amount Of food, heat and
moisture to enable them to reach ma
turity and yield to their fullest capac
ity and where the ground is annually
devoted to crops the great difficulty Is
to retain its fertility and to secure
from it all that should be derived
under the best possible conditions.
Any diminution Or deterioration OF the
plant food in the soil must be resuP
piled in some shape and it is import
ant that the farmer attend to keep
ing the land up to a high standard OF
fertility at all seasons. for land that
has been bountifully fed will be in
better condition for succeeding crop.
while that which has been Overtaxed
will gradually lose fertility and entail
an additional expense every years.

tuberculosis from Drink.

The rayages of the white plague"
in France have reached most alarming
proportions, official reports showing
that in that country 10000 persons
die from tuberculosis each year;
among workmen the mortality from
this cause amounting to over 80 per-
cent An eminent French scientist
and member OF the Academy OF Medi-
cine states that the abuse Of spiritu-
GUS liquors is responsible for a new
form Of tuberculosis, which. ne states,
in the case of hard drinker, develops
at the top of the right lung toward the
hack whereas ordinary cases develop
first at the top of the left lung toward
the front. 1t is the first mentioned
development that is now oftenest
found in France. This high authority
further declares that any hope of pre-
venting the spread Of tuberculosis is
futile until the spread of alcoholism is
checked.
Statistics show that from $4,000
wine shops In France in 1889, the
number has increased to 475,OOO, while
the amount Of alcohol consumed has
almost doubled.-Harper's Weekly.

HOW IS THE HORSE?

In view of the panic which over
came some people when automooilSs
got thick on the roads, here is part oi
a letter about the growing demand 'oi
horses. by writer in Chicago pa
per This doesn't look as though inc
hcrse was sick The writer says:
A doctor in an Illinois town told ME
RECENTLY ,and | verified his statement
so far as was necessary to convince
me of its truth. that he purchased
twelve years ago. colt. paying soo
for it. He used the colt in the prac-
tice till few weeks ago. and theh
he sold it for $175 This may seem
incredible to you but If you kne" Oh

occur at the present time you "ouldh

town. for instance, team OF stone

Those blind horses ten or Twelve
years ago wouldn't have brought $40
apiece.
\ travelled lately from Chicago. as
far East as | could stand him, with
horse buyer from good town IN Ne"
York state. He showed ME list OF
the horses he had bought in the Chi
cago market, with the prices annexed.
He had purchased one carload for
town in West Virginia and another
corload for his own town. The prices
read like fairy tales. But have been
close enough to the horse market dur
ing the last six months to know they
were the bitter truth. One span OF
black horses weighing about 1.40O
pounds each. he had bought for $3.50,
and they were not fancy horses either
One of them, on the contrary, was
touched in the wind-''not heavy. y

Teams of draft horses that run in
age from s to Il years and in weight
from 100 pounds to 1900 pounds
horse sell for $500 to 500 a span
These look like fancy prices, and they
are. In addition, not half the care is
displayed in regard to blemishes that
was shown formerly when prices rang
ed more than so per cent. lower.
This and much other evidence that
easily might be secured ought to indi-
cate conclusively that the horse has
triumphed over handlebar and hOnk;
that he is here for keeps, and that the
demand for him will not soon, if ever,
grow seriously less. But, Of course,
the breeders will go ahead and supply
the demand and put the prices back
where they belong as measured by the
intrinsic value of the animal-ln-

DRAINING MEADOW LANDS.


There is certain carelessness
about the care of meadow and pasture
lands which is hard to account for. 1t
may be that we are not yet far enough
away from the wild lands of decade
or so ago to forget that they grow
luxuriant grasses without care or
pillow. Any one who will take the
pains to examine a dozen meadows
cannot fail to be impressed with the
lack of attention which these lands
receive. If a piece of ground is too
poor to grow grain crop it is turned
to grass; if it is too wet it is turned
to meadow, with the result that lots OF
this land is not producing enough to
pay taxes on 1t.
Drainage is the only thing needed to
convert these low, Improbable lands
into meadows that will produce two or
more tons per acre of commercial hay.
The heritage growing now on much OF
this is of no practical value, but when
once the soil is subdued and dried out.
other grasses readily take hold and
make bountiful crops. We have often
wondered why so mary continue to
sow expensive grass on these lands.
without first getting rid of the surplus
water and other vegetation that is not
congenial to tame grasses. Some OF
the finest meadow lands we have ever
seen were fow years ago marsh
lands, where marsh hay grew five or
six feet high. These lands were first
drained by big open bitches, and then
were covered by system Of dies.
Within two years after the opening OF
the bitches this waterlogged soil be-
came dry enough to work. and then
the sun and rains did the rest. Stag
nant water kills vegetation. Drains
carry off this water and let in air and
sunlight and enable the soil to digest
the rain water as it falls and sinks
into the earth.
GROWING PICKLE CUCUMBERS
A profitable crop for summer plant
ing is the picking cucumber. 1t may
be grown to good advantage on piece
of run-out pasture land of medium
soil. Such land should be plowec
early and thoroughly worked to SCI
loose whatever plant food is available
Fresh land of this kind is likely to b.
free from the various blights and dis
eases which so commonly attack Gu
cumbers in old land A gravelly o.
clay loan will be satisfactory. Th'
crop should be planted some time II
June. It is a quick growing specialt.

Scnurz Describes chanc nceIlorsville.

Forty years ag , IT, the afternoon of
the second of Way. "a number of deer
and ia bbits came bounding out of the
woods" In front of t1r Eleventh Corps
of the Union Army at Chancellors-
vile. Behird tb, m ,me the dashing
Stonewall JACKSON wicn $4,000 men,
and in one hour and half his great
hanking force had 'elescoped the
Eleventh Corps with its 5000 men and
driven them back in retreat. 1t hap
pened that thev had no reserves and
that the Elevcnth's line was facing
the front instead of the West flank.
Gen. Carl Schurz had foreseen the
flank attack and he had begged Gen.
o. o. Howard, who was the Eleventh
Corps Commander, to be allowed to
rearrange his line and face 1t West
and to place reserves in anticipa tion
of this very flank movement, but
General Howard Thought" Jackson
was retreating and would not give
orders for change of front.
Four days later the Eleventh Corps
and large part of the Army of the
Potomac retreated to the Kappa ham
mock. There Schurz's brave soldiers
found the newspapers full of "the
frightful story of the unexampled
conduct of the Eleventh Corps" and
other tales of the "cowardly Dutch
men, who had at the first attack
thrown down their guns and fed in
disgraceful flight without firing a
shot" Not general except Schurz
tried to correct the false statement.
Schurz's report of the whole action,
his request for an investigation by
which he could easily have cleared his
men of the dreadful SANDER, we're
pigeon.holed by the authorities in
Washington.
In the June McClures instalment of
his "Reminiscences" Schurz bluntly
tells the whole tale and shows that
his men bore the brunt of the figh ting
and afterwards bore the whole blame
and they we're elected as scrape-
goats" to shield those who blundereG.
Schurz frankly speaks out his mind in
, regard to Gen. o. o Howard and
General Hooker and puts them in nc
enviable light. 1t is graphic de.
scription of the defeat of Chancellors.

changes in histories.
