FARM AND GARDEN.

A new kind of fence is being manufactured and put up pn numerous farms in the last three years, says the Rural New Yorker. *ltis a combination wire and slat fence. The, upright pickets, four feet high, are woven in a better manner than kinds similarly made some twenty years ago. There are five double strands each strand or cable made of two galvanised wires twisted several times between each picket, inclosing it tightly. The pickets are previously soaked in a tank of red mineral paint, and the whole fence is made very rapidly by a special

automatic machine. The fence is sold at 50 sents per rod. Small machines are owned and used by farmers. If posts are set too far apart, in case of this fencing, it is apt to sag, and this is corrected by a A-shaped brace wire. I have also contrived to use this fencing with a bottom board, with a slat set on the upper edge of tbe board. The slats being Only three feet long and costing 46 cents per rod, makes the fence just as cheap as the whole length slat, or as the common board fence of four boards. If posts are set eight feet apart as with board fences, this arrangement is stronger and much better than a board fence. It can be made very substantial with posts 12 feet, or even 16 feet apart in which case the 16-foot board is stayed in the middled by an upright board or stake-post 18 inches or longer, so projected above the upper edge of the board as to hold in place the bottom of the slat fence. Putting one stay-board or stake on each side is the proper way. This is my ideal fence, especially as it combines the necessities of a legal line fence, being safe against injury to stock, making a complete barrier alike against lambs, pigs and small stock as well as horses and cows and animals with jumping habits, i It is 4) feet high and the slats are less than three inches apart. It is very durable, stout, and ornamental. Posts add vety much to the cost of a fence and their distance apart makes important differences in that respect. Parasites which infest the flock are much to be dreaded. The worst is the lung thread-worm, which prevails everywhere and is most destructive to the lambs. The worm is almost always present in the old sheep, which by reason of their greater strength to resist its injurious effects, don’t suffer from it very seriously. It is a long thin, white worm, called a thread-worm, (filaria) from its resemblence to a piece of thread, It is found in old sheep, mostly in the intestines, where it subsists upon the mucous secretions, and unless quite numerous gives no apparrent indication ■of its existence; but when in large numbers it produces diarrhoea, coughing and emaciation. The mature worms perish as soon as they have completed their reproductive function, when a large number of eggs are disengaged and pass off with the dung. These eggs are loosened as the droppings in which they are entangled are washed apart, and they adhere to the grass, with which they are taken into the stomachs of other sheep or lambs pasturing upon the herbage; or they are gathered with the hay and with that gain access to their new . hosts.- Hatching in the stomach, the young worms make their way to the throat and there gather into masses as they«couple for the purpose of impregnation. These masses are found in the throat and bronchial tubes and cause intense irritation, preventing perfect respiration and the consequent full aeration and oxidation of the blood. The result is imperfect nutrition, loss of vitality, and weakened blood. The skin and the visfblejnembranes are thus deprived of their and becomes pale and thin, giving rise to the wellknown condition known ak “pining,” or “paperskin,” and by veterinarjns as ‘anoemia,” or want of blood. / / One other evil is foot-rot, which may 1 be easily avoided and the disastrous results which may follow may be readily prevented. The foot of the sheep is peculiarly constructed. The horn grows downwards and when it reaches the sole, separates from this, and, like a loose curtain, folds under it, thus affording a lodgement for filth, sand, small stones, or wet mud. The sole is then very soon softened and worn away, exposing the exceedingly tender and sensitive laminn of the foot and causing intense pain. Sheep, in this condition, go about on their knees, refrain from feeding and 4U*e much weakened and disturbed by the suffering. No other animals being so sensitive to misfortuues as sheep, they quickly fall off in condition, and unless Relieved, the inflammation spreads to the inner parts of the foot, producing ulceration and virulent suppuration, which ends in malignant and contagious foot-rot.

A sheep that is put in good condition will go through the winter safely under ordinary good care. One that is neglected and suffered to fall off Will hardly be restored, and if she is brought through to the spring,the lambs will be lost or the ewe will not have milk enough to nurse them. Exposure to cold rains ia especially hurtful, for the soaked fleece chills the loins and the spine, which is the center of the nervous system of the lower part of the body ■and of the digestive organs. This soaking of the fleece and consequent chill induce the sheep to huddle together for warmth, and the heated, wet wool mats and felts on the sheep’s back and so inures the fleece, producing the inextri-

cable entangling of the wool that is known as cotting. TO PREVENT WINTER KILLING OP WHBAT. Every spring when the crop-reports begin to come in, more or less is heard of winter killed fields of wheat. Whatever tends 'to prpve this, helps to invcrease the crop and the farmer’s profit The American Agriculturist gives the following upon this subject, which is worthy of trying: The most effect'vfiand beneficial mode of preventing the wheat plant from being injured or destroyed by the freezing and heaving of the soil, is liberal mulching, top dressing .with fine manure or compost from the barn yard, or slacked peat from the muck pile, to be evenly* spread over the fall sowed wheat field. In autumn, when the ground is sufficiently frozen to bear the wagon wheels, spread just thick enough to have the ground lightly covered, so that when the soil freezes, cracks and heaves, the wheat roots will be covered, protected, and not torn out, but the mulch or compost will fall into the cracks and cover the roots, sheltering them from the effects of the weather. We have several timesseen fields which were liable to freezing and heaving, with wheat drilled in, portions of which were top dressed in-autumn as above directed, and on which a full crop of plump grain was secured, while on the portion of the fields not mulched, in every instance the crop of wheat was a total failure, not showing straw or grain enough to be worth harvesting. In fact, the grain obtained from the top dressed portions of the fields much more than paid the cost of the operation; besides the ificidental benefits of this light mulching as a surface manure, it was a protection to the soil from scorching sun rays of summer, and sheltered the young grass when the grain was cut off. In fact, liberal, frequent, careful top dressing of fall sown grains as well as meadows, is one of the most profitable and reasonable methods for preserving fertility of soils and protecting grains and grasses that farmers can practice, and will be found always profitable.

But Would It?

Washington special. During the debate Colonel Oates, of Alabama, indulged in some sensational war talk. He stated that, while not very well posted on all of the details of the bill, he favored it, and advanced the very original reason for it that possibly the United States government’s deep interest in the Nicaragua canal might involve it with some foreign power in war. Colonel Oates took the ground that a foreign war would be a real blessing to this country. “That is,” said he, “a war that would not be too expensive. Not until the North and South have joined hand in hand, and on a common field of battle have resistedja common foe, will the talk of sectionalism cease. JTthere should be a lively foreign war, the firm bond of union which would thereby be established would be well worth the expense and the outlay of treasure and blood.” Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, chairman of the naval committee, stated that he shared the views of his colleague. He said that he courted complications with foreign nations. He followed out the same line of argument—that a foreign war would be a blessing in disguise. He too, said that not until the South, by her loyalty on the field of battle, fighting for the stars and stripes, had testified with her blood, if necessary, her devotion to the Union, would the past be forgotten by the North. The sentiments expressed by these men, both prominent ex-confederate officers, excited much surprise and comment.

Execrable Spelling.

N. Y, Sun. The ignorance of some people is inmake the countryman understand the bunco game; the stories of the victims are told each week in the papers which the country folks read, yet when the bunco man cries “Next!” they crowd up, almost quarreling for the honor of being cheated. Another thing that never seems to occur to the countryman--and to many a city man, too, for that matter —is that he can use the newspapers as a spelling book, or get other good from them than news. Two letters reached the Sun yesterday; the writer asked for “Webster’s tinder Bridge Dictionerry;” in the other, the writer said he could “youse” something if he had it. This second man lived in' this city. From the country some time ago came a letter asking, “What was the unforbedient fruit? Why did King slew Able?” And similar letters come almost every day, signed unblushingly “Constant Reader” or “Old Reader.” It never seems to occur to the writer that by signing himself so, and at the same time misspelling most atrociously half of his words, he writes himself down largely as an incorrigible sluggard who knows not how to use his opportunities; but he does; whether he knows it or not. b

Increased Lake Shipping.

The ship yards of the great lakes will exhibit active operations this winter, Fifty-nine new vessels are to be built and eleven of them will be entirely of steel. They will cost $7,124,000; and they will add 100,950 gross tons to the carrying capacity of the commerce of the great lakes. "

Arc We to Have Another War?

Some political prophet* aver attest we shall. Be that as it may. the battle wagW by medical science against disease will never cease until we arrive at tnat utopian epoch when the human family shall cease to be afflicted with bodily ailments. One of- the moat potent weapons which the armory of medicine furnishes, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is of special utility as a family remedy, as it is adapted to ihe immediate relief and ultimate cure of those disorders of the stomath, Uver and bowels which are of commonest occurrence Indigestion, biliousness and constipation are inseparable companions, and these ailments are completely eradicated by the Bitters. But the remedial scope of this superlatively wholesolme and genial medicine takes in also nervous ailments, rheumatism and kidney troubles;-its action in these, as in the other complaints, being characterized by unequaled thoroughness.

A dead level—A Kansas graveyard.

A Dream of Fair Women. Tennyson in his exquisite poem, dreams of a long procession of lovely women of ages past. This is all very well, but the laureate would have done the world a greater service if he had only told the women of the present how they could improve their health and enhance their charms. This, he might easily have done by recommending the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Health is the best friend of beauty, and the innumerable ills to which women are peculiarly subject, its worst enemies. Long experience has proven that, the nealth of womankind and the “Favorite Prescription” walk hand in hand, and are inseparable. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from the manufacturer, that it will give satisfaction in every case or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years.

Leave hope behind, All j e wne enter here! So ran the dire warning which Dante read on the portals of the Inferno. So runs the cruel verdict of your friends if you are overtaken by the first symptoms of that terrible disease, consumption. “Leave hope behind!

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured hundreds of cases worse than yours; and it will cure you, if taken m time. But delay is dangerous. No power can restore a wasted lung; the “Golden Medical Discovery,” however, can and will arrest the disease.

Religion in the Colleges.

Harper’s Magazine. The colleges never had so many professing church members in them as at present. A few examples will show this. Yale College in 1795 had but four or five students who were church members; to-day nearly one-half hold such membership. Princeton in 1813 had but two or three openly professing the Christian faith; to-day about one-half, and among them the best scholars. In Williams College 147 out of 248, and in Amherst 233 out of 352, are members of churches. In many other celleges, as proved by Dr. Hodge, from whose carefully prepared tables these figures are taken, the proportions are still more favorable to the prospects of religion.

How to Slake Money and How Not to Lose It!

“Twenty-eight Years in Wall Stbeet,” by Henry Clews, is attracting a great deal of attention and is having a wide sale. All the leaders in the great drama of Speculation, during more than three decades, are faithfully portrayed, from Commodore Vanderbilt, Daniel Drew, Jay Gould, William R. Travers, and George I. Seney,down to that Colossus of egotism, who came with his millions to shear, and remained on the scene, shorn—James R. Keene. Henry Clews is said to be the most successful and sagacious banker is the world, and his success is due not alone to his intelligence, but to a conservatism that seems as firmly planted in bis breast as his integrity. A member of the New York Stock Exchange recently aaid that Mr. Clews’ customers invariably consult him in regard to the purchase and sale of shares, and hence seldom lose, but are invariably on the winning side of the market, whether it goes up or down. Mr. Clews is the barometer of Wall street, and the controller of the largest marginal business in the world, and is backed by many “Twenty-eight Years in Wall Street” is as entertaining as it is instructive,{and is issued by the Irving Publishing Company, N.
