THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Fence Posts Top-end Dowif.
At a discussion at the Centennial Grange
Encampment, I see that many advised set
ting fence posts top-end down, although no
one could give any reason for their lasting
longer in that position. This question may
often have arisen in the minds ot the readers
of the Country Gentleman. A study of veg
etable physiology led me to try several ex
periments, many years ago, to throw light
upon this question. The sap or moisture
goes up in the sap-wood from the roots to the
leaves of trees. I found if the post is butt
end down, the pores are open upward, and
water can go up, and thus keep the post
moist between wind and water, which must
cause a rapid decay. It appeared probable
that the pores were open oulv upward, and
not downward in the tree. To lest this, 1
cut a small maple sapling (two inches
through) in May, leaving the limbs all on,
and placed the butt-end in a pail of brine.
In 36 hours the leaves were saturated with
this brine, the taste of the salt being strong.
At the same time, I had cut another maple
sapling, and cut off the top branch, leaving
the rest of the limbs on. After winding a
cloth over the butt end, to prevent evapora
tion, I placed the top end in a pail of brine,
and allowed it to remain several days, but no
brine had been absorbed at the top end. It
had not even penetrated the pores as far as
the end was immersed in the brine, for if the
bark was scraped, there was not the slightest
taste of salt to be touDd. This being the
case in the green tree, how much more must
the pores of the dry tree be closed from the
top end downward? I have tried many sim
ilar experiments, and think the question
settled that if a post placed top end down,
no moisture can ascend from the bottom of
the hole up the post to rot it; but when the
bult end is down, the moisture can ascend
the pores very rapidly if green, and slowly if
dry. Seasoned posts are found to last
mucl^ longer, because the pores are
more or less filled in the seasoned wood. I
should also infer that placing the top end
in a down would make more difference
green than a dry post. In pursuance of
the fact that the pores of green timber are
open from the butt to the top, timber has
been often saturated with differerent solutions
to preserve it, by immersing the butt end,
freshly cut, in the solution to be absorbed.
It will also be noted that burning or charring
the post only closes the pores and prevents
the absorption of water—Country Gentleman
The Packing Season.
The present packing season has now fairly
opered, and about all the leading houses
around Chicago are engaged in the business
to a greater or less extent. The receipts of
hogs for the first half of the present month
have been about 67,000 head less than for the
corresponding time last year. We have no
doubt but the Presidential canvass and elec
tion has interfered to some extent with the
movement of Bogs and packing operations
thus far this season, and then it is stoutly
claimed from various portions of the country
that hog choleta has materially reduced the
supply. Be that as it may, we have been for
some time satisfied that the entire packing
business of the couutry was in process of
change as to its entire character. The sum
mer packing business has come to be very
formidable, and we have no doubt will oper
ate in the near future so as to nearly equalize
the packing business among all the months of
the year. During the last summer there was
a large increase iu this summer packing bus
iness here at Chicago and at all other points
in the country where this business is carried
on. This, of course, has operated to reduce
the natural supply of hogs for the present
regular season a good deal below what we
should have bad under other circumstances.
As the case now stands we shall not want
much winter packed meat in the future as iu
former years, as the summer packing will
no doubt continue to increase in future.
Meats that are cured in the winter become
very hard and dry, losing all the natural juice
and chiefly on this account the newly cured
meat from the bouses that are engaged in the
summer packing is much more popular with
consumers than the hard salted winter-cured
meat, and as they can now have a full supply
of newly-cured meat during any month in
the year it is likely that the winter-cuied
meat will, in the near future, be reduced
nearly to the summer standard as to quanti
ty. It is true that the curing of meat in the
winter can be done much more cheaply than
in the summer; but we think the growing
prejudice against the winter curing will more
than offset the difference in this respect.—
Drover's Journal, Chicago.
Grapes as Food.
We have on former occasions referred to
the value of fruits as articles i f diet, both in
health and in sickness. Grapes may deserv
edly clame a high rank among fbe fruits in
this respect. They contain a considerable
amount of hydro-carbonaceous matter, to
gatber with potassium salts—a combination
which does not tend to irritate, but, on the
contrary, to soothe the stomach,and which is
consequently used with advantage even in
dyspepsia. Accoding to Dr. Hartsen, of
Cannes, in France, who has recently con
tributed an article on the subject to an
foreign medical journal, the organic acids in
the grape, especially tartaric acid, deserves
more consideration than they have generally
received. Their nutritive value has, he
thinks, been much underrated. It is
known that they are changed to carbonic
acid in the blood, and possibly careful research
may show that they are convertible into fats.
Dr. Hartsen thinks that they should be rank
ed with the carbo-hydrates as food. They
have been found a valuable diet in fever, and
the success of the “grape-cures” in the Tyrol
and other parts of Europe appears to show
that they are positively beneficial in other
diseases. No doubt the good results of a resi
dence at these establishments are in a measure
to be ascribed to the climate and the general
hygienic discipline adopted. The advantage
does not wholly consist in the fact that so
many pounds of grapes are eaten daily, but
partly in the fact that other less healthful
things are not eaten; and pure air and exer
cise are also important elements in the cura
tive treatment. But after giving all due
weight to these allied influences we must
allow no small fraction of the beneficial result
to the grapes.
We rejoice, therefore, at the increased cul
tivation of the vine in this country, and hope
to see it go on extending wherever soil and
climate permit. Let every man who can do
it plant a centennial grape vine, or a score of
vines, beside the “centennial tree” which the
papers have been advising him to set out.
He can eat the fruit of the former sooner than
he can sit under the shade of the latter, and
his children will bless his memory for both.—
Boston Journal of Chemistry.
Vermin on Sheep.
Dr. J. C. Y. Smith said that most of the
preparations offered for ridding sheep of in
sects have oil (or the basis, and he believed
that common oil or lard thoroughly rubbed
through the wool is as effective as any elabo
rate concoction. The insects breathe through
minute orifices in their sides, and any mat
ter which closes these destroys them; 'grease
will accomplish this, hence his reasoning that
the wool well oiled will exterminate ticks.
Mr. Lawrence testified to the fact that
years ago before people had learned to util
ize it with greater profit, condemned butter
was bought up at a low figure and exported
to England for the purpose of rubbing sheep,
whether for ticks or some other disease, he
was not able to affirm.
A member said that smearing or salving
sheep is a custom rarely practiced in this
country, though common in Scotland and
other countries in cold, exposed positions.
This salve is usually made of butter or grease
aod tar, in proportions of one pait tar to
twelve of grease. The salviDg may be done
any lime after shearing, but it is generally
performed late in October. The object is to
prevent vermin and skin diseases, and to fur
nish additional warmth to the fleeces oi
breeds that are deficient in volk. The mix
ture is not required for fine-wooled sheep.—

Chicken Jelly
Boil a pa'r of chickens until you can puil Iba
meat from the bones; remove all the meat and
the bones to boil half an hour longer; stand
this in a cool place and it will become jellied;
the next day cut the meat into small pieces,
melt the jelly and throw it in; then add two ta
blespoomuis of Worcestershire sauce, two of
walnut sauce, one tablespoonful of salt, a pinch
of powdered mace, cloves and allspice; slice
ten hard-boiled eggs and two lemons, line a
large bowl or form with these slices, then pour
in the mixture and let it staud in a cool place
(but cot to freeze). The water should just cov
er the chickens when put to boil. This is a
very ornamental dish and keeps for a long
while.
