BARBED WIRE- FENCE.
-De-scripflon of a Tried Method by
‘ Which One Man Can 1!qu
On‘e \Vithout Hell).
\
At each end of the line of fence set
three posts two and a half feet deep,
tamping the dirt firmly about them.
If the work is done in early spring, the.
posts can be sharpened and driven in
with a maul. The posts should' be just
one rod apart. The intervening posts
can be set about two feet deep and. a
'rod apart. The value of the barbed
Wire fence depends upon; the tension
of the wires. If they are loose, the
'fence is ineffective and dangerous for
farm animals.
If the end posts are
firmly braced and the wires tightly
stretched at first there will be no dif-
ficulty in this respect.
In bracing, the plan. suggested in
the accompanying illustration is very
desirable. Between: the end post and
the one next to it, set an extra. post.
You will thushave two spaces eight
feet and three inches apart in' which to
put braCes (as). For braces use strong
material ’that will not bend' and then
counterbrace it by means of wire (bb)

THE SYSTEM EXPLAINED.
attached to the bottom of the first post
and the top of. the secondI for the first
space, and from the bottom of the sec-
ond post to the top of the third: for the
second! space, and so on. These braces
should be made of two strands of wire
twisted together by means of a. small
red until they are very tight. If there
is a tendency to loosen, the wire can be
further twisted and» the slack taken
up in this way. This matter of end
braces is very important and- if the. soil
is soft or if there is any danger of their
becoming loosened, get extra large
posts and' set- them in the ground deep—
er, say three and: a half to four feet.
To unroll the wire, place a. tough
pole four feet long through the spool'
and. lay it across the wagon bed, so
that the wire will roll off the top of
the spool. Stick small standards in
the staple at each side of the bed to
keep the spool from rolling off. Take
out the end gate, fasten the wire to the
end post at the required height and
drive the team slowly, watching to see
't-hat the wire does not become entanr
,gled as it unrolls. When you get to
'the twentieth post, stop the
team,
brace the wagon so that it cannotrnn
backward. Easten one end' of a chain
to the spoke of the hind wheel. next
the posts, and the other end of the
chain to the wire. now tum the wheel
by hand and wind the chaiinup on. the
hill) until the wire is tight, and. then
staple the wire fast to the posts. If. it
is a long stretch of fence, it is best to
pxitiu braces occasionally to assist in
stretching. By this method, one. man
can build: a wire fence by himself. If
anyone has a better plan. I will be glad
to hear of it.—:Americar..Agriculturist.
DEWBERRY CULTURE.
Each Fruit Grower Should Make an
Effort to Raise at Least a.
Few of the Plants.
There is no more delicious berry than
the dewbergry when i-tis fully ripe. Even
when only turned bldck and not yet- as
sweet as it becomes when perfectly ,
ripened it makes delicious sauce and
pics that come as nearly to Wholesome-
ness as pies ever get.
The berries are two or three times
as large as blackberries and the plan-ts
of most. varieties are perfectly hardy.
The Lucretia. is probably the best one
ever introduced, as it was the first, this
variety having been found growing
wild in Virginia. by an Ohio,so.ldier
during thegre‘bellion. Noticing its
good qualities, he marked the place,
and after the war was ended he went
back and got the original plant, nam-
ing it. after his wife, Lucretia.
The difficulty with and chief cause of
complaint against the dewberry is its
trailing habit, although its dreadful
spines come in for considerable criti-
cism.» As-there is no rose without a.
thorn, so it seems one of the best her:
ries must have the longest and sharpest
thorns of any of its family.
With all these faults it- pays to have a
few de-wbcrry plan ts, and usually these
make a place for themselves that leads
to an increase in the original planta-
tion. , They should be trained to a low
trellis or over a frame and given the
very best. cultivation, rememberingthat
' it is impossible to make the soil too
rich for them. If this is kcptin mind,
ilewbern'ies will, add to the value of the
berry products of the farm" and pro—
duce: crops that will overbalance any
physical failing its habitof growth may

. HIGHLY UNSATISFACTORY.
The Ordinary Farmer Cam Make No
Money Out of Feed-mg Cattle
for His Neighbors.
A correspondent asks us to advise
him what compensation, a farmer
should have for fattening cattle belong-
ing to another man, says the Home-
stead. He wishes to know what. would
be just and fair to both feeder and
owner, the feeder furnishing every- .
thing in connection with the fatten—
ing of the cattle. The question is one
that. we could not answer with any rea-
sonable hope of furnishing a basis for
such a contract as would be equitable
to both feeder and owner, without see-
ing the cattle, and 'even then it would
depend. upon how good a, guess we were
able ‘to make about. what the cattle
would probably do * in view of their
condition when they go on feed. their
breeding, the length of time they were
,to be fed, the price of feed, and the
other conditions surrounding the un—
dertaking. If there is ‘any one prop-
osition in regard to cattle feeding that
has been more completely established»
during the past couple cf years than
another, it is that there are cattle and
cattle, and that whileysome. willrespond
to feedpromptly and continuously and
make regular and steady gains in a.
satisfactory way. the're is a. large per-
centage of the cattle going into the
feed lots that will do nothing of the
kind. The usual basis on which such
contracts are made consists of the pay-
ment of so much per pound for the gain
that is put on. The cattle are weighed
in to the feeder and weighed back
when delivered back to the owner.
What a given lot of cattle will do in a
given period, however, is a matter that
no one can positively tell in advance,
and even the expert feeder who has
handled cattle all his life can only
form an opinionthat will be of any
value, in any given case,'after a care-
fulnexamination of the lot of cattle it
is proposed to feed. Speaking general-
ly of contracts of this kind, however,
it may be said that they are particular-
ly hard on the feeder as a rule. The
owner puts in his cattle at given
weights, and they may be either good,
bad or indifferent; they may be-of a
kind that will respond readily to feed,”
and gain anywhere from two to three
pounds per day, or they may be of a
'kind that will make only a pound a
day gain, or less. The cost of making
the gain may be as low as four dollars
a hundred, or it may be twice as miich
or even more. All theserisks- the feeder
takestand when the owner receives his
cattle back he pays for just what the
feeder has accomplished. In other
words, the man who feeds another’s
cattle takes all the risks of the trans-1
action without receiving as compensa-
tion-.any of the occasional speculative
gains that cattle feeders now and then
make, by reason of striking a goodmar-
ket. It is not a contract that we would
advise anyone to make unless he is so
poor and so destitute of credit as to be
unable to raise money to buy cattle and
thus entitle himself to all the possible
gains in the transaction, as-well as to
take its risks of loss.
LIGHT , HORSE STALLS.

posure to such a condition. Entire ab—
sence of light in the stall is to be avoid—
ed, however, for this causes injury to
the horse’s eyes when he goes out f-rém
the darkness into the strong light.
When the light cannot be admitted
from the rear, but must- come from the
side, put a grating into the side of the
stall, as shown in the cut. If two or
more stalls are side by side, put such a
grating into each partition. It will
letsome light into even the stall far-

comes in various sizes of mesh, and is

There is great danger of blood pois-
oning if a hog bites the flesh. There
is no poison in the h’og’s :eevthas there
is in the fangs of a poisonous snake.
It is rather the poison which comes
from the saliva, as the hog is a very
indiscriminate feeder and not. at all
cleanly. When a hog is made angry
, the‘amount of its saliva is greatly in- .
creased, and the danger is greater.
Even. a slight contusion from u hog's
tooth should be promptly washed out
With. some antiseptic. Dilute carboljc
acid. one pant of the acid to 2.000 of
water, is «good and always a reliable

Ruined- by: a. Wattle.
Sweden was ruined by a single battle.
It was the battle of Pulto-vva, in 1709.
In this battle Peter the Great of Rus-
sia defeated .Charles XII. of Sweden.
Sweden, under the Great Gustavus, had
risen to the position of a first-class Eu-
ropean power, While Russia was just
emerging out of obscurity. Charles
1111., by his marvelous victories, seemed
on the way to m‘ake Sweden. one of the
greatest of the powers. The crushing
blow that was dealt at Pultowa. ruined
Sweden. At. the battle of J ena, in 1806.
Napoleon crushed the kingdom of Prusn
sia. The battles of Sadowa and Sedan
practically crushed France and Aus-
tria.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
