Jnrm, THE FENCE QUESTION. One kind of work which farmers have been much accustomed to perform in winter time, hitherto, was that of turning the proper tirn bor into rails and stakes for fences. Doubt less many look with a feeling of sorrow and apprehension, at the present time, on their decaying fences, and wood-lot devoid of tim ber for rebuilding th;m, and wonder what an other generation will do when the rails and rail timber are alike among the things of the past. Well, amongothcr important subjects which the farmer should carefully consider and dis cuss, in his time of leisure, is the fence ques tion. The rail fence, has had its day ; from necessity wo must abandon it when the pres ent stock of rails is worn out and decayed. And with it will vanish a slovenly appendage to the farm—one of the chief harboring pla ces of small vermin and foul weeds, and a too convenient lcoeptacle 01 stone, stum>s, or any loose rubbish of the fields. If, then, the state of our farming is such that fc-ncea are n necessity, and aro likely to so continue, wo ■i 11st adopt something more readily accessible than timber, and more durable and tasty. On the vast, monotonous prairies, we think is the most appropriate places for hedges; the fielilß are likely to be made large, and in the ab sence of hilto and groves these lines of living green are needed to break the monotony view, aud supply some shelter from the bleak winds. Hedge rows running north and south should be grown as tall as possible. In Now Euglaud, the Middle and Southern States, the sole use of a fence is to turu stock ; and it is desirable to occupy as little fat nd with it as possible. Where stone abound other material will be less required. In many places ditches with a sod and stone wall will answer the double requirement of drain and fence, and there will, doubtless, eventually be found hedging plants adapted to the cold est and warmest sections. In this connection it is not amiss to hint to the tile makers that it is just possible burnt clay, in some form may become a substitute for the wooden ends ol fence posts that are inserted in the ground. ' But we will just hint to the farmers who are anxiously studying how to restore their fences in the cheapest manner, that the first step is to dispense with a large pepportion of what you already have. This will give some ma terial to repair the remainder. Make the fields larger—but remember it is not necessa ry to always plow the whole field, or sow it all to one crop. All the grain land and meadow might be in one field and thus save hundreds of rods of fence on a farm. A string of movable fence may be used when portions of it arc required for pasture. In short, look over your farm and calculate how many lines of useless fence you have ; next, how many rods ol permanent fence can you dispense with by using one hundred rods of movable ; third, what material you can best use to make your iudispensible fences really permanent. —liural New Yorker. TOO MUCH STOCK. It shonld ever be a rule with the farmer to winter no more stock than he can winter well. 1 A single sheep or cow, well cared for, and I provided with a sufficiency of wholesome aud nutritious food, water, and cumfbriaDie Stiet ter, will be of more value to the owner than two, poorly kept. It is a singular error in domestic policy, to appropriate to two or more animals the food necessary for one. Yet this singular mistake is often noticeable among those who consider themselves —and arc called —good fatmers : and indeed, is, or has been, often practiced by whole communi ties. In seasous of scarcity, more stock is kept than there is food to supply their wants > consequently the price of hay is nnduly rais ed, and suffering, often irremediable and ru inous to the community, is the result. The true policy is, to keep just as many animals will consume the fodder produced o the farm, and no more. But this would not pre clude the plan of purchasing fodder —were the money at hand to do so—with the inten tion of increasing the quantity of manure and the productive power of the farm. Practices on the farm have greatly changed in this respect a3 in many others. W'e have heard men boast of wintering a cow of com mon size on a single ton of ordinary hay. Under such a practice, nearly every farm in the neighborhood would lose one or more an imals every spring, by some disease induced by want of food or exposure to cold. Swiue died, and so did nearly one-half the lambs and calves. Cows and working oxen casnc out of the winter poor and weak, the former giving but little milk after calving, and the oxen entirely unfit for performing the spring work on the farm. It was a wretched policy. We trust that it is abandoned among all en terprising farmers. Feed your stock well, and they will feed you. - HINTS FOR FARMERS. A correspondent of the Germantown Tele graph says : It is not what we make but what we save that makes us rich. In looking around among my brother farm ers, I notice many things wherein there might be greater economy in my opiuion. In turning cattle out in the fall, when the ground is soft, to be trampled upon. In letting cattle stand in an unsheltered yard in cold, stormy weather, when there is room in the stable for them. In throwing their fodder in the yard to be trampled under foot, instead of feeding it in racks. In not having water in the yard for the cat tle, in place of driving them through snow and all kinds of weather to tho creek, there by losing more in manure during the year than the interest of what it would cost to bring the water in the yard, to say nothing of the convenience. In not having a house for poultry to roost in, and save their droppings; the value of the latter from one hundred fowls, in one year, would pay the cost of the building, not counting the advantage it would be to the fowls. In not having a wood-house to cut in, on rainy days, and store up dry wood. In leaving potato vines, weeds, Ac., go to waste, instead of hauling them to the hog pen to be worked into manure. In riding about and leaving the manage ment of the work too much to hired help. And last, but not least, in sending their children to school a day or two in each week, and allowing them to play and loiter about the rest of it. A ROMANTIC yonng man says that a young woman's heart is like the moon: it changes continually, bat it always has a man in it. pJttmoMwg. ~ THE gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising. THE last place to look fop-the milk ofhu mau kindness is in the pale of civilization. WHAT is society after all but a mixture of mister-ies and miss-eries? Is what color should friendship be kept?

REALTY is the woman you love, whatever she may seem to others. WHY are railroad companies like laundress es? Because they have ironed the whole country and sometimes do a little mangling. It is with the votes of men, as with their actions: it all depends upon the way in which you treat them. IT is said that when a crew of Chinese pi rates get out of provisions they salt their own junk and eat tbnt.

A NEW mode of dispersing mobs has lately been discovered, and it is said to act "like a charm." The mode is, to pass round a con tribution box! A YOUNG lady is charged with having said that if a cart wheel has nine felloes, it's a pity if a pretty girl like her can't have one. A YOUNG gentleman the other day asked a young lady what she thought of the married state in general? " Not knowing, I can't tell," was the reply; "but if you and I were to put our heads together, I could soon give you a definite answer." A LAWYER, ueither young uor handsome, when examining a young lady witness in court, desiring to perplex her, said, "Miss, upon my word, you are very pretty." The young lady replied, "I would return the compliment, sir. were 1 not under oath." "I think," said a wife who could not agree with her husband, "I think, Mr. Jibbs, we had better divide the house. You shall live on one side and I on the other." "Very well, mv dear.'' ronliod <<vnn tl-n <L outside, and I'll have the inside."

WITNESS, you said that while walking with an open umbrella, you fell into this reservoir and were badly injured. Did you break any bones, sir at the time?" "I did, sir." "What bones?" "Whale-bone, sir." "I SAY milkman, you give your cows too much salt!" "Why, how do you know how much salt I give them?" "I judge from the appearance of the milk you bring us lately. Salt makes the cows dry, and then they drink too much water, and that makes their milk thin, you know," THE following correspondence is said to have taken place between a New Haven mer chant and one of his customers: "Sir—Your account has been standing for two years; 1 must have it settled immediately." To which in reply: "Sir —Things do usually settle by standing; I regret that my account is an ex ception. If it has been standing too long, suppose you let it run a little." UNCLE SAM had a neighbor who was in the habit of working on Sunday, but after a while he joined a church. One day he met a min ister to whose church he belonged, "Well, Uncle Sam," said he, "do you see any difference in Mr. P. since he joined the church?" "Oh, yes," said Uncle Sam, "a great dif ference. Before, when he went out to mend his fence on Sunday, he carried his axe on his shoulder, but now he carries it under his over coat." * : ' THE editor of the Cynthiana (Ky.) News, in making an appeal to his subscribers who are in arrears, to pay up, says:—"We do hope they will coltlo —atLi/ut delay. Iful Glut rro need the money—oh, no! Our ink is given to us, we steal our paper, and we win our printer's wages at "seven up." So it costs us nothing to carry on business.

Wonder if he has a wife and children. WHITE HOUSE ANECDOTES.— Some good stories are told of the Irishman "Edward," for four years doorkeeper at the White House. Edward went with Fillmore to look at a carriage which the necessities of some South ern magnate had thrown upon the market. "Well, Edward," said the President, "how will it do for the President of the United States to buy a second hand carriage?". "And sure, your Excellency, ye're only a second hand President, ye know." Mr. Fillmore took the joke but not the carriage. This anecdote was told me by Mr. Lincoln, and was called up by the following: One dark and rainy evening we had got a a far as the door, on our way to General Me ridian's headquarters, without an umbrella, and i'-lward was sent back after one, the President telling him whereabouts he might find it. In a few moments he came back, i announcing a fruitless search, and adding: "Sure, yer Excellency, and the owner must ' have come for it" I The Fresideut laughed heartily, and Ed ward found us another umbrella. ppuosECrirs FOR JBr.
