    Wire Fence Heel.
For a home-made wire fence reel
limply convert an empty barrel into
hand roller. Across the open end,
two pieces are nailed at right angles
and in the center of this, ti.s well as the
bottom, .a hole is bored to admit an
Iron rod. The push frame cnn be made
of light pieces of hard wood braced
across and on the under side a staple
or hook is Inserted to carry a can or
paint bucket with tools, staples, etc.
This may bo suspended from the rod
of the Government farms we find 20,
000 district samples of milk tested to
establish one fact namely, that when
a cow has reached her maximum er
centage of solids In the milk she pro
duces, an increase of richness in the ra
tions she Is fed on does not yield an in
crease In the total quantity of milk she
produces.
Coal Ashes as Manure,
Chemical analysis shows that there Is
very little of value in coal ashes. Yet
the fact that they are porous makes
them nn excellent mulch for fruit trees,
and If they are spread thickly on the
grass, by destroying that they save the
soil beneath from loss of moisture
and fertility, and have thus practically
the same effect as pinnure. Some re
markable growths of squashes, pump
kins and tomatoes have been made on
heaps of coal ashes where the seeds of
those plants had been scattered. But
in every case there was some wood
ashes among the coal ashes, or else the
coal ash pile had been for months the
convenient receptacle for every kind
of refuse from the house, most of which
contained considerable of the elements
that make fertile soil.

'Just inside the open end of the barrel
by means of an S-shaped wire, but Is
not quite so convenient. , In removing
wire, one end is stapled tp the barrel
ond then It is a simple matter to push
,the contrivance before you. In this
way the wire is not dragged through
the dirt ond so does not gather much
litter. If it is a temporary fence, It Is
frequently necessary to move It but a
short distance and then it can be push
ed all the way, but it the removal Is to
a greater distance, the rod can be taken
out and the barrel with its coil of wire
lifted Into a wagon. Orange Judd

Small Farms Pay. '
Small farms can be made to pay if
properly utilized. One farmer in New
York State -who lias but twenty-flve
acres keeps two horses, one cow, and
. iraises two pigs each year, growing all
'the food required to support his family
and stock, making poultry and eggs his
specialties. lie devoted moat of his
Itlme to poultry, claiming that it was
iless work than hauling milk to the rail
road station in the winter, and that
leggs bring good prices every year. Tha
result was that he made a fair profit,
while farmers with large farms claim
'ed to have made nothiug.-When farm
ers decide that poult ry can be made a
leading object on farms, and not given
up to women and children, they will
have a source of income better than
;many others and for every mouth In
the year.
Milking Stool.
I have used a milking stool made
and illustrated on the plan described
below for six years, says Lyman Par
,melee, in Farm and Home. The seat
board (a) is of two-inch plank, nine
inches wide, 14 Inches long. The stool
board (b) is two Inches thick, nine
Inches broad and long, out round. A
three-eighths Inch Molt (c) is put
through the middle, the head sunk, the
nut left off, so the seat will revolve,
The seat Is 11 Inches high. A hoop (e)
Is fastened with staples on the upright
board (d) to hold the bucket so it will
be 11 Inches from the floor to its upper
rim. I use a two-gallon tin pail. -A
heavy wire Is used for a hoop. . The

An Karth Scraper,
This is a valuable Implement on the
farm. If perfect under-dralnage has
not been secured, the surface channels
should not be lost sight of. On every
farm there are slight depressions or
basins, which might be easily emptied
by lowering the rim at some point by
removal of the dirt to the lowest places.
It will be a surprise to those not having
tried It to apply a scraper in a judicious
manner to such places to see the re
sults. Water should not be permitted to
stand upon the soil during any portion
of the year. It Is very injurious to
laud. In fact, an excess of saturation
is more damaging than drought. AY.ater
estroys fertility as well as crops,
hile dryness preserves the richness of
the laud, if vegetation does suffer for
lack of moisture.

Although Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton is in her eighty-second year, her
voice rang out strong and clear in the
address she recently made in the open
air toabouttwo thousand farmers and
their wives at the Seneca County an

Mrs. Stanton spoke on such national
questions as the recognition of Cuba,
prison reform, silver, and the suffrage.
L. J. Itlckard is a gentleman who has
been building corduroy roads on the
way to Klondike and packing provis

The natural habitat of the sheep 1s
on high and often rocky lauds. By con-
ict with rocks and stones the hoofs of
sheep are naturally pruned. When they
are kept on low, wet ground the hoof
rows long, and being very little sensi
tive it is easily softened until it begins
to rot. There can be no doubt that this
caused by some germ, for rubbing
the hoof with blue vitriol, which Is one
of the best germ killers, will destroy it.
But the germ seems to be Indigenous to
all wet lands where sheep are kept, and
is the worst affliction with which
sheep can be afflicted. When It once
gets Into a flock It can be carried to
land that Is high and dry, and will
propagate there.

Variation iu Knallasfe.
It is too commonly supposed that cn-
silage made from fodder corn must be
uniform in its nutritive value. This is
by no means the fact. The ensilage
nut up the last few years Is much bet
'ter than that which was made at first,
when a large quantity rather than qual
ity was what was mainly sought for.
All corn ensilage requires that some
supplementary food le given with it,
for corn Is not a well-balanced ration
But some corn ensilage requires more
of other food as its supplement. It Is
oosslble to ensilage com when It has
reached the earing stage, cutting up the
ear with the stalk. This is worth twice
or thrice as much for the same bulk a
corn fodder sown or drilled too thickly
tn allow it to form ears, and cut as
soon as it got into tassel.
Experiment Farms.
In each section of Canada Govern
ment experiment farms have been es
'tabllshed as centers of education and
object lessons to the surrounding fanu
,ers. Here tests are made under the
Ibest scientific conditions, and the result
applied for the betterment of the meth
ods of the average farmer. Thus a one

strength to get home in time for din
ner." Sir Isaac Ilolden, the Inventor of the
lucifer match, died recently in England
at the age of 91. Though he did not
profit by that luvention, others, espe
cially in woolen machinery, gave him a
large fortune. He set out comparative
ly early in life to live as long as possi
ble. In the matter of exercise his rule
was to spend at least two hours a day
in the open air, and it is told of him
that on first going to work in his youth
he agreed with his employer that In
stead of having a yearly vacation he
should have an hour every afternoon in
which to take a walk. In the use of al
cohol he was abstemious, yet not a
total abstainer, and he smoked tobacco
moderately. In diet his chief peculiar
ity was that he avoided bread. His
chief foods In his later years were
meats, soups and fruits. Yet ho was
not a man who lived by invariable
rules, for he was long a member of the
house of commons, and when over 80
years old he saw the session out at 2,
3 or 4 o'clock in the morning oud smok
ed long cigars in the smoking room.
GEE-WHIZ.
At every motion of his body or limbs he
aid "Gee-whiz." If he raised his armjor
crooked his elbow, or when he got up or sat
down or bent over; if he bent his knee or
turned his head, he said "Gee-whiz." Gee
whiz wits his way of expressing vexation
and trouble, and he had his peck of it.
Thousands do as he had done and have
bushels of it. He simply did a very foolish
tiling. He took off his coat at the wrong
time and in the wrong place. The tune
was when tie was overheated ana tne pince
just where a cold draft struck him. He
woke in the morning with soreness and
stiffness from head to foot. If he had be
thought him of the right thing to ao, as
most' men do, he would have gotten a bot
tle of St. Jacobs Oil and rubbed it over his
body. Use it on going to bed and you'll
wak'e up, open your eyes and say, "Gee
whiz!" .ie soreness and stiifness are gone.

Protection for Horses.
It Js undeniable that horses at work
on cold, blustering winter days suffer
severely from the chilling temperature,
especially where
they ore com
pelled to pause
every little while
after severe ef
fort. Fit a shoul
der blanket to
the work horse,
like that shown
lu the cut. Tho
forward part of a
SnOCLDHK BLANKET. n-nril-OUt stable
blanket can often be utilized, or a
shoulder blanket can be made from old
carpeting. This will protect the vital
organs, and will iu no way interfere
with the harness. It is in the interest
of humanity and may also save a val
uable horse from sickness. New Eng
land Farmer.
Cultivation of Oats.
At Cornell University oats were sown
broadcast. In the usiHil wanner, the
yield per acre being thirty-seven bush
els. On another plot the oats were
drilled In fifteen inches apart, the
hand-wheel hoe being used to work be
tween the rows. This may appear to
some as giving a large share of labor
in that manner, but as the yield on the
drilled and worked plot was sixty-one
bushels per acre the method Is worthy
of attention. A man with a wheel hoe
can go over a large piece of ground la
a day, and it Is possible that the meth
od will pay.
i Horse Talk.
When loaded let the team stop often
to get their breath.- It pays.
Better go twice than overload the
team. This overloading is a fruitful
cause for unsoundness.
Be especially careful in loading tho
colts a little lack of judgment has
ruined many a fine horse.
If you find you have too much load
for the colt, throw part of It off liefore
he Is discouraged. Let his muscles be
come used to work by slow degrees.
Drive colts only short distances first,
not far enough to tire them in tho
least. Increase the distance a little
every day, . and you will Insure a
prompt, free driver. ,
If you have a man In your employ
who is timid and nervous, keep him
away from the colts. It requires a
level-headed, cool, courageous man to
handle colts successfully.
Inspire the confidence of colts by
kindness and firmness, every time you
go near them them, and the education
will be easily and successfully accom
plished. Horticultural Notes.
Make quality rather than quantity the
principal aim.
Having the orchard properly trimmed
keeps the trees bearing well.
Annual pruning largely avoids th
necessity for removing large limbs. .
Fruit trees or plants will not take
care of themselves. They must be
helped.
. In setting out a tree, save some of the
top soil, especially to put around the
roots. Rural World.
Dumas the elder was not in the habit
of counting his money, but did. once,
leaving it on the mantel while he left
the room for a few minutes. When he
returned and was giving some Instruc
tions to a servant he mechanically
jounted tho pieces over again and found
a louis missing. "Well," he said, with
a sigh, "considering that I never count
ed my money before, I can't say It
pays."
During a recent session of parliament
Sir William Ilarcourt found himself un
expectedly in view of on important
speech and, having no notes, went into
the stenographer's room to prepare
some. He procured a lady typist and
dictated to her for some time. As he
wound up a glowing peroration the lady
typist suddenly gasped and burst into
tears. "Would you mind saying all that
again?" she said, plaintively; "I've for
gotten to put any paper in the ma
chine!" The late Gov. Henry A. Wise of Vir
ginia received from admirers more than
two dozen dragoon pistols and Colt's
revolvers, said to have been taken from
John Brown In the engine house, while
there are few homes in West Virginia
that do not contain a rifle, pistol ana
dagger taken from the mnn whose
"body lies molderlng in the ground,
while his soul goes marching on." There
Is n dealer in Washington who has built
a block of houses with money made by
selling pistols and pikes taken from
Brown and his supply Is still ample for
the demand.
A young doctor had among his first
patients an uncommonly dirty Infant
brought to his office lu the arms of a
mother whose face showed the same
abhorrence of soap. Looking down up
on the child for a moment, he solemnly
said: "It seems to be suffering from
'hydropathic hydrophobia.' " "Oh, doc
tor, is It as bad as that?" cried the
mother; "that's a big sickness for such
a mite. Whatever shall I do for the
child?" "Wash its face, madam," re
plied the doctor; "the disease will go off
with the dirt." "Yash its face wash
Its face, Indeed!" exclaimed its mother
losing her tomier; "what next, I'd like
to know?" "Wash your owui madam-
wash your own," was the rejoinder.
Many years ago, Mr. Gladstone,
speaking of Mr. Parnell, made use of
the oft-quoted phrase, "Marching
through rapine to the dismemberment
of the empire." On the same day there
was a horse race, In which the winners
were respectively Veracity, Tyrone and
Lobster. These facts were cabled to
New Zealand together In the usual
shorthand style of the cable. The re
sult was that next day the New Zea
land papers contained the followinv
extraordinary paragraph: "Mr. Glad
stone denounced Mr. Paruell as march
ing through rapine to the dismember
ment of the empire, and said that the
Irish' leader had the veracity pf a Ty
rone lobster."
A Swede came Into a lawyer's office
one day (says the Cincinnati Enquirer)
and nsked: "Is hare ben a lnwyer's
place?" "Yes; I'm a lawyer." "Well,
Maister Lawyer, I tank I shall have a
paper made." "What kind of a paper
do you want?" "Well, I tank I shall
have a mortgage. You see, I buy mo
a piece of land from Nels Petersen, and
I want a mortgage on it.". "Oh, no.
You don't want a mortgage; what you
want is a 'deed." "No, maister; I tank
I want mortgage. You see, I buy me
two pieces of land before, and I got
deed for dem, and 'uother fallor come
along with mortgago and take the laud;
so I tank I better get mortgage this
time."

Feeding a Family at a Cost of Kitchteen
Cents a Day for Kacli Person.
In the Ladles' Home Journal, Mrs, S.
T. Korer tells how a family of eight
persons can be fed and well-fed at
the aggregate cost of $10 a week. She
presents a bill of fare for each intvi,
with suggestions for changing and
varying them, and details how to pre
pare the main dishes that enter into
her economical plan of supplying the
family table. "To carry out the
scheme," she says, "articles must be
purchased economically, and no waste
permitted. A table which is supplied
for a family of eight for $10 a week
must, of necessity, be plain, but It may,
at the same time, uot hick for variety
or wholesomeuoss. Sweetmeats and
rich desserts must be counted only as
occasional luxuries, and 'company'
dishes must be omitted altogether.
Meat, the most expensive food item,
may be purchased in a mucu larger
quantity than Is needed for a single
meal, and utilized French fashion. The
poor and middle classes of this country
must learn more about the fowl value
of the legumens, more about the proper
preparation of fowl, and last, but not
east, more about the proper combina
tions of food. Avoid the buying of
steaks, roasts and chops each week. It
is an expensive household indeed
which has no repertoire of cheaper
dishes. A beef's heart or a braised
calf's liver makes an excellent and.
economical change. Broiled sheep's
kidneys, with a little bacon, give a
good breakfast at a cost of ten cents.
Smothered beef, which may be made
from the tough end of the rump steak,
is appetizing, and only costs half tho
price of an equal foot! value of tender
loin, steak.
"The housekeeper should go to nvy
ket early and buy oidy the best materi
als. They keep longer and go farther
thau the Inferior ones. Perishable food
should be 'bought In small quantities
two or three times a week. Groceries
enough to last a mouth should be laid
iu. Canned goods and conserved sweets
should bo bought sparingly. Meat Is
always a most expensive article, and
not a particle of It should be allowed
to go to waste."

Has Already Cost Millions.
In 1S09 Mr. Trouvelot, who had gone
to Massachusetts from Paris, had taken
with him some eggs of the gypsy moth.
These lay, oue duy, on a tray near an
open window and a breeze blew them
out of doors, lie recognized the mis
chief he had wrought, but his an
nouncement of it created little excite
ment at the time, as the people of Med
ford, where he lived, knew nothing of
tills insect. And, Indeed, little more
was heard of it for about ten years,
while not until 1880, or twenty years
after the escape, were the ravages of
the moth such as to call for action by
the State. At that time the worms hud
spread through thirty townships, ruin
ing shade trees everywhere, and attack
ing also farm and garden crops. Ac
cordingly, in 181)0, Gov; llrnekett called
on the Legislature for help, and that
body authorized a commission for the
purpose and appropriated $25,000 for
its work, which sum was doubled a few
months later. The next Legislature
had also to expend $50,000, and others
followed with still larger sums annu
ally. .''.-.
Last year the actual expenditure was
about $120,000; and Mr. Femald, the
entomologist of the State Hoard of
Agriculture, in his last report, estimat
ed that to exterminate the moth would
require $200,000 a year for the next flye
years, or $1,000,000; then $100,000 a
year for five years more; finally, $15,
000 n year for a period of five years,
making .$1,575,000 in all. Supiwslng
that the moth should then disappear,
this cost, added to what has already
iH'on laid out, would exceed $2,000,000,
apart, of course, from all losses of
woodlands and crops caused by the in
