liairjlng ft* a Renovator of Exhausted
Farms.
To make the advantages of butter
dairying most eil cent, in recruiting an
exhausted farm, the butter should be
rna<ie upon the farm, or by a creamery
system, so the skim-milk shell be fed on
tie term. While butter alone makes no
draft upon the soil, milk carries off no
inc nsiderable amount of fertilizing
matters from the relds upon which the
milk-giving animals feed. An average
cow uses annually in her milk about
forty pounds of bone earth, which is
lost to the soil if the milk is carried o r
from tl.e farm for consumption or man
ufacture. TMs, in time, will impover
ish the soil, beeanse when land lies to
grass, and gets no cultivation or stir
ring. its bruited exposure to the ele
ments will not cause a sufficient solution
of mineral matter to keep up such a
drain, and sooner or later it will fail in
productiveness. Farms from which
milk is continually s >ld, soon show the
cflecis of the dra't made upon their
slock of fertil tv, if they are wholly or
< hie y devotee! to the production of
milk for market, unless man re of some
sort is brought on from sources outside
t»f the farin'. When all the milk pro
duced upon a dairy farm is sent to
market or to a cheese or butter factorv,
with no -return of whey or sk m-mdk.
there is not much diflerence, so tar as
recruiting the tarm »s concerned, be
tween dairying and any kind o'stock
raising. In view of the fa t that w heu
land lies constantly to grass, without
any -birring or cultivation, the develo >
ment of plant food from decomposition
of the soil s too slow, usuallv, to sup
ply the material for a heavy cro - of
grass, it hai proved the best po'icy for
most da rv farmers not to keep the
who’e fa ro to grass or forage plants,
but to cultivate every year a consider
able fraction of the arable land for the
purpose of loosening ami aerating the
soil, to hasten deconiposit'on. f-neh a
course improves the productiveness of
the soil faster than to let it lie still too
long, and makes a better division of
labor and a larger anneal return than
when the whole farm is devoted exclu
sively to the production of milk, or to
any other a ngle product, ami dim n
islies the danger of fa'al or distressing
loss from a ailure, when all is staked
on a single production.
\\ hen worn-out grain ' arms arc turned
into dairy farms, a better thrift sel
dom fails to l e observed, whatever may
he the particular mode of dairving
adopted. When such farms are seeded
down, much better crops of gra-s can
be grown than of gra n, notwithstand
ing grass and grain belong to the same
family o' plan's, and hence are expected
to use the same kinds of nuti cut ele
ment in their growth. Then theie is a
mni«p certain rel ance to be placed on
crops of grass than on grain. It is much
lecs liable to injury from wet or drouth,
heat or cold, or irom hail or storms of
wind or rain. 'I his greater seci r ty
against adver e sea-ons is an in pnrtant
clement in favor of dairying, over al
most any other rural industry. In
whatever way we may compare them. :
the chances are far better for tl e owner
of a ba ling grain 'arm to turn his atten
tion to dairying, than toekeout a scanty
and uncertain livel hood in growing di
friftiutive crops of grain, to reduce year
bv year the producing capacity of hi»
farm still lower and lower.-—Xationd

Sheep and Woal Growing.
In the United States the history of
sheep biisi au rv has been marked by
movements so pecul ar as to warranttho
t< nn "manias” in des ribwg them At
times there has been shown a strong de
sire to engage largely in sheep fami ng,
and a most evo y farm had then its
flock: at- other t ines an equally string
determ nat on has been shown by thou
sands to get rid of all their sheep at any
pr.ee, or almost at no price. These
mov-ments lia e not always been im
mediately preceded by a marked ri e in
the pr.ee ot wool, nor has this desire to
increa-e or to diminish the number of
sheep been in direct re'ation to an ad
vance in the value of their fleeces at thj
moment.
In the year 1878 the advantag s of
fered to sheep h sbandrv b. the newer
States and Terri ones attracted the at
tend no capitalists and others, and by
the middle of tiie year 1*81 many thou
sands of sheep were ranging where but
a very few years before n ne were to he
found. Yet in 1878 medium wool sold
for some cents per poun l more than in
1881. In 1 80 wool irom Kansas and
.Nebraska sold or prices tanging from
sixteen to twenty-six cents, yet there
was a steady and rapid growth in the
interest taken in sheep farming and a
large in rease in the number o' sheep
tak n from the Eastern and Middle
Matos for ti.e purpose of start.ng ranches
in the West.
With a diversity of soi', forage and
climate espeeiail v favorable to woo - I
grow ng, that Industry has received in
,'orth America far less attenti n than
might have proiitably been given to it.
The e were consumed in the United
States between the yea s 1861 and 1*79
a total of 3,«»2t,76 ,000 pounds of wool.
Of this quantity 950,4 6,* 00 pounds, the
custom-house valuation of which was
§165 415,950, were imported. As the
value of goods impo ted or e ported i.
greatly underestimated in returns made
by the revenue department, the above
figures may be sa ely doubled to get at
the eal market value of the wool iin
po ted. This wo i d give £u lv §151,
000,000 as the sum paid in the seven
teen years to other countries for wool
which m ght have been grown at home.
As an item of passing interest in this
connection it may be stated that iu the
year 1872 the value of imports of wool
was plac d by the Troas ry l'epart
ment at *27,214,195. the quantity im
ported having been 122,256,500 p<> nds.
The civil war of 1861 -’65 compelled the
neop e of the United States to buy
largely and at high p ices the products
of the loom, and the supply of cotton
being c t o't in a great measure,
caused a arger demand for w oole s.
Stimulated b these c rcum tanees mill
owners increased their facilities inti
they great y exceeded the no mal re
quirements of the country. For some
7ears the production of goods vent ou
active y, even after the war had ended,
until theie was a large over- uppy.
W lien the panic of 1873 came many
mi i- stop ed, and the irrpo tati n of
wool f 1 from '22,256,500 jo nds,
b:o ight in 1872, to 47,390 pounds in

Farm Fences.
Tt is claim d by theorists, and also by
some practical farmers, that a 1 fenc tig
to inclose ea tie is a useless expense,
made necessary only by the costly
sv.-tein of pasturage. That so ling or
the keeping of stock in the stable or
yard the year round may be profitable
i nder some circumstances is not
denied, but tiiat it can be adopted in
gene al | raetice in our country, at least
in the Fastern States, is not to lie ex
pccled, lor e\v farms are in whole ara
ble, ada 'ted to plow and to mowing;
hence, fences are a necessity and the
question is, what style is most desira
ble. Taking into account co-t, dura
bility,, and e if caoy. none is equal to a
good stone wall and. in the long run,
none cheaper wh-re material is availa
ble.
On many farms stones must be re
moved for convenience o cu tivation.
and if removed to where permanent
fences are wanted, such as line fences
or other permanent divisions, the ma
terial for the best ences is there for all
time and the budding of a wall is no
more expensive -than the material and
la!>or of any good wood fence, and if
well built will last fifty years or longer
with hut little repairs, the material be
ing always on the spot when rebuilding
becomes uecssary. A stone wat! stand
ing four and a half feet high will t rn
any animal that should be allowed lo
run at pasture, and if pigs are turned in
to glean the grain stubbles there is no
danger of their gett ng through into
other tields. Cattle and horses that
jump a wood fence of the same height
w 11 keep clear of a stone wall.
To construct a good stone fence th »
surlaee should be taken off to the de th
of six inches or more, according to soil.
This can be done with plow and scraper
at small expense, and the earth taken
ou' should f»e banked up to the wall
alter it is built. The fo ndation should
be about three feet broad and the wall
ta ered up on each side equally to one
foot on top, to be capped by one stone.
When the stones are .small, as is usual
with field s one. three or four courses
of flat sticks should be laid across to
hold it from falling down by the action
of frost on the foundation. For this
purpose cedar timber is b st, but any
timber that splits freely will do, and
evert old staves and refuse boards are
often used. Where field or quarry
stone are not found on the farm for
fencing, either wood or iron must be
used.
The best wood fence is the old Vir
ginia “worm,” both as to du ability
and cheapness, where timber is pientv
and suitable. Anv lasting timber, such
as cedar, chestnut, white oak or black
ash, makes good rails for wood fence,
and when properly laid, xvith stakes and
w re support, makes a ve y e licient
and la-ting fence against all domestic
animals. The ob ection that it occupies
too much space is true where land is
used for cultivation exclusively, but not
when used for pasturage. The corners
are quite liable to become rilled with
briers and loul weeds, but the thorough
farmer will tind time to destroy all - uch
unsightly and wasteful g owth
The common no t and board fence
has at leiyjt the merit of neatness when
new and in pe lect repair, but it is the
most expensive fence the farmer builds
conside ing its lacks of durability—
from ten lo fit teen year, t eing about " lit 1
lifetime of such st uctures. ( n moist
•oils the posts will be lilted, by frosts
rom year to yea till the fence will
stand on legs aud he twisted by the
winds, the boards torn off; and other
wise di bgured. Other styles of board
fence are const ne ed either in panels
fo movable purposes or stayed on the
surface by di erent devices, but none
of them have come into common use
on the farm. Ba bed wjre will -be but
little used when other m tei ial is coft-1
ve ient. On the western p irie , for
fencing against catt e only, it has con
tider&ble merit.—Gur. V. Y Tribune, j

A remarkable instance ot presence ot
mind on the part ot an actross is re
ported from Chelsesville, in Texas. At a

out behind the scenes. Tnstead of mak
ing a precipitate retreat, and thereby
causing a disastrous panic—as nine per

have done—she quietly ordered the cur

condition. The mou had just returned from
some work around the deetc rn order for
which h. d interrupted Brown’s story a few
moments previously.
“A tear ago this day I was hove to In Ihe
‘jiill man’s’ sick bay in the Hoh/I'T- then off

“How did you pucker out of itl” asked a
gunner's mate.
“Wa’all,” replied Brown, “my Cbinee

the doctor Tie laughed and »jjs 'twas no good,
but Id cu the regui tieus says from the
first, an'here I am, ag’ia the doctor’s ideas

With this triumphant assertion Brown
looked about the circle. Then, lowering hi*
voice, said, “boy*. I’ve four of those prec.ou»

Three weeks latter found tlie Nomad mak
ing the lurl or of Montev dco. Alter sever#
and prolor^od weather she had rounded th#
Cape and now was standing In the ha bar for
the pui pose of recoalIng a d watering. To
one given to the study of human lineaments
the fates of those aboa'd th# flagship this
bright m >rnlng would have aflorucd Infinite
scope for such pursuit Hut the so tree of
cam man’s happiness flowed from the same
fouutain of griteful joy. The beloved admiral
was the cause of this. And why) If you I
could haie seen the admiral this bright morn
lug, de.ir reader, your an -wer would havo :
been easily found iu his face. A changed
mau was he. Victory was perched ou ilia
gu.dons 1 the dread enemy was slowly retreat
ing! The fight was a severe one, but with no
cess tiou iu vigilant action end careful ap
plication of the co itents of four bottles the
a lmir l had turned the flank of consumption,
and was s owiy but aurery driving him off the
the field with a power which aetou ded tho
doctors and filled all hearts with joy and
thankfulness
What was this then that had won the vic
tory for the seaman brown, and Wns now
leading th.- admiral’s shuttered forces to the
same grand result! Wheu ask#d this ques
tl in by one of his office s on duty, in Moute
video.’the admiral, slowly lifting h a hand,
re lied, "I wou d that iu letters of gold, and
so placed that all the world could read them,
| the name of this great, remedy could be
shown, coupled with the genius who discov
ered it--*TnK GOl.DKX Medicai. UlSCOVEItTl

has given to h s follow men the greatest re

“This is the name of the contents of tU it
bottle ou my table, and God i less the man
who his found the secret of filling it with a
in# icine at once purifying and strengthen
i ut, wholesome end thorough in its results,
and cla niing, in my hq nbl • o Inlon, nothing
for it-elf that It cannot reasonable perform.
Nature’s a ly against the abuse of o\an I”
Well might tho admiral sing the praise* of
that which had so unexpectedly rescued him
from a fatal illness. When the ship anchored
the first commission for the admiral’# son to
execute was a large purchase of I)r. Bierce’s
Golden Vcdloal Discovery, which, as the ad
miral ssdly admitted, he had seen In every
port the world aroun l and had only admired
as an evidence of the energy and enterprise
of an American who could thus place Ids
Golden Medical Discovery In every nook and
corner of the girth"; But sow he was one
more to testify to the woiderful powerof this
j medicine, and e. tainly did so In Montevideo,
| bv praisiug it np to all the high officials who
j visited kirn.
A week later and the Nomad sailed for
I Boston direct What the condition of the
| admiral was when she arrived there is shown
J in his letter above. Let It be recorded to the
f credit of the doctors on the flagship that they
were com letely cured of all di like for th!
Gold n Medical D soovery, used It faithfully
on the voyage to Busion, and landed, through
its wonderful power, the ad ideal (run iletely
