"If tlicro ain't them hem again," taldKU&a Long, KCttliiK down tho mlllc-pall. on tht lichen xrrli 1th a jerk, Tho ttout, (ilea ant-fucttl uutn.in to whom he hpoke paused In the doorwny with her bare arnn twisted lito her t'nllcu npron, and regarded tha olTenclpra nilMljr. They were Mi-ngllng throygh onoof the immeiiiin ;nri fit tho broken down fence which parntiil Sir. Tung's garden from that of hU neii;hlor, Alvln Taleott a procession of nine, clucking In a crooning way and ttcppltiK high. Tftoy rame on with composed deliberation, pnu.lng among tho cticumliers witJi a contemplntivo air, skirting tho radishes after a dissntlslled survey, and settling dow 11 at last nmotig tho tomatoes with a chorus of victorious clucks. "It ain't going to do," said Mr. Tiong, wiping a dlsturlied face with his old, red silk handkerchief. "I ain't going to stand itl" "It nln't likely he's thought of it," said hit wife, tranquilly. "Ho can't think of nothing but that peky rrcnniet liu-lm-M,"' rejoined Mr. Long, jerking his head tow arils hU neighbor's yard from which the sound of voices and the click of mallets proceeded. "Oh, laws, llllasl" Mrs. Long lwgan, 111 easy iemoii.st ranee; but hor liURbnnd had seieil nil old tin dipier from tho porch-shelf, nnd wns making for the tomato-patch as fast as Ills IV) j ears would permit. There was a wild cackling nnd scattering as he threw his ilipiKT into the midst of the scratching flock, pursued them unrelentingly to tho farthest pusvihle jHiint, and leaned exbaustedly against the sunken gnto of tho dilapidated fence. It wns 'sunken with tho weight of the many f l ienilly chats held across it since the long ago iiiod of its erection; chats held at all times of day and upon nil subjects politics, mowing-machines, fertilizers, sewing soci eties, crocliet jkitterns, raised cake recljies, etc. Mr. Tiflcntt's croquet-ground was before him. Mr. Taleott himself stood near, lean ing the weight of bis small and wiry person on his mallet; his hat over 0110 car, Ills cueer ful, round face shining with eagerness, his whole attitude expressive of watchful and profound absorption, Mr. Ing surveyed tho sceno witli displeas ure. Ha had, originally, strongly disnjv proved of Mr. Tulccitt's croquet-ground. He hud not lsrn sure that croquet was not on a level w Itli "keerds" and gambling; and that a deacon of the church and n memlwr of tho town council should countenanco and encour age such iniquity was a subject for grave re flection. From this after frequent gllmpes and oc casional considerations of the game, over the fence ho had softened to the opinion that it was a w aste of time and a pack of foolishness; falling gradually into tlio habit, despite his convictions, of uliscrving it regularly grad uating from the fence to Mr. Talcott's door step, nnd thus acquiring a tolerablo knowl edge of its baleful metbeds. He had even lieen known to manifest an interest in the game, to tender advice in a crisis, to gh e his opinion on a disputed point, to join in applause of a good strike. But he had always considered that his pres ence was something of a reproof and re straint. Just now, as ho stood frowning down tho long liewickoted ground, nothing could have convinced liim that he had ever retreated in tho least from his primal attitude of rigorous disapproval. Mr. IiOrg shifted his position nearer. "You'll havo to keep them hens of yourn to home," ho wild.' "Thoy're spoiling my garden jest aliout as fast as they can manage it." Mr. Talcott's smiling face hardened. It was not the first time his neighbor had men tioned the hens; Uiough never hitherto with so much decision. "I don't really know as it's any of my con cern," he said; "you can't jest expect for me to 1 chasing hens everlastingly." "I don't know but what you tietter bo chas ing hens than wasting time over this here," responded his neighbor, surveying tho croquet-ground with sternness in his long featured face. Mr. Talcott's small, bright eyes snapped. "You h'nln't no call, ns I now of, to give 110 opinion whatsoever," ho retorted, Mr. Long turned his eyes upon his irate countenance. He .was slower to anger than his nelghlior. "About them hens," ho said, "I ruthcr guess this line fence lietter bo tbted up; needs it. They couldn't get in then unless they should go round by tho orchard, and that ain't likely." "I h'ain't been calculating to lay out any thing on fences jest at present," said Mr. Tal eott, bracing himself on his short legs de fiantly. Mr. Long's thin faco grew grim. "You better jest think over nbout this hero fenco," said he, as ho turned stifily away, Mrs. Taleott had come out of the houa with n little bowl in her hands; a thin woman, with pleasing remains of sandy haired prettiness. "I want you to take in some of my rising to Hannah," she said. They had known each other by their first names for some fifty years. When Mrs. Long ojiencd the kitchen-door atfi o'clock the next morning, and stood looking out ut tho early August day in the moment before the fried pork had sizzled it self quite brown, and the corToo come to a boil her faculties concentrated thenisehes ujion an unexpccUnl circumstance just be neath her eyes. "Kilns," she said, "he's tearing down tho line fence. He's got Job Dwyer helping him." She w as devoid of suspicions concerning the fact; her oice was merely inquiring. Mr. Long was tipped back ugaiust the wall studying the city tiaper to which he sub scribed. Ho brought the front legs of his chair to tlio lloor at his wife's announcement, and c.iuiH to tiie door rather slowly. He stood there rubbing his chin doubtfully; and then went dow n tlio steps, and towards bis iicighlioi's yiiril. Somo inner consciousness prompted him tu make a cureless and in direct nppi'uach to pauso and iusiwct the garden, and stop to tighten the empty clothes line, nnd to bring up at tho fence in an accidental and unpremeditated way. Mr. Taleott was w orking energetically. A pile of worm-eaten jiosts, pulled up by tho roots, and broken pickets, lay lwf ore him. A little further down Job Dwyer was amassing a similar heap. "I thought likely you'd thiuk letter of it," Mr. Long observed, with his eyes fixed warily on tho other. "This fence has been wanting fixing for quite a spell. I don't know as it's worth w hllo tearing it down ; I thought, meblie, a little fixing up'd do it. Hut I'm w Ming to do my share, if you lie calcu lating to build a now one." After an unre sponsive imusei "You're calculating to build a new one, s'jiosei" "Yes, I I," Mr. Taleott rejoined, with acrimonious promptness. (Something in hU voice shook his neighbor's composure. Hut ho carried olf his discomfit ure creditably. "Well," he said, "it'll be 11 good thing. I 'poseit ought to been done before." He pulled a grass and Chun ed it undauntedly for two or three minutes beforo ha went into tho house. "Well!" said his wife, as she set tha dish of pork oil the table. "He's set out to build a new Una fence,1' said Mr. Ing, taking his seat and shoving his knife up and down between tha tinus ut hit fork. His wife turned to look at him. Hor sharp Intuition looted out tho dark side of (hefctate ment, "You hain't had words with him, Kliasl" she said, 11 quick alarm In lier pleasant faco. "Now you didn't have no trouble with him yesterday nlmut them lions?" "I told him," wild Mr, Umg, reaching for the co!li-Kt, 1 his hens had lieeu limiting tol'ublo free In my gurden, and tho fenco Ut ter lie flxisl up. If lie's u mind to Hare up up like n fool, 1 don't know as it' any of my concern." , He took a swallow from his cup. His wife watched him wUtfully, tSho looked dazed. 8ho went aliout the house that day with an uneasy apprehension in her face, "I don't know what to maku of it, she kept thinking, in n trnublod way. Khe knew by tho next night. Tha now lino fence was done. It was seven feet high. There was nothing to bo seen across it except the upjier half of Mr. Talcott's house, the tops of tha trees and tha barn roof, It ra tall uud stern and forbiding, And thero was no gate, Jt was a hostile, uncompromising barrier It Mil an etfucflva monument to Mr. Talcott's wratli and resentment, Tho summer jutssud on Into tha fall, and tho fall became raw and windy, and eventu ally snowy, Mr, Long's tomatoes had not suffered avail) f roui M r TslmWs h-" ti-sv had ripened finely. '1 hey hail lieen eaten raw and stewed; they had lieen made uplncatsup, nnd they had been pulled while green to bo sliced and pickled, Mr. Talcott's fenco had accomplished this, and a great deal more. It had stood there like an evil monster, and had never been crossed. It had come down like a curse from the skies, ami shut off all the old communica tion, and turned tho old friemhhlp into a hard enmity, and the old trust Into fixed rancor. It became rapidly known that tha two old neighbors were "not on sjieaklng terms;" and tho causes and circumstances of the rupture were not n mystery, It was known , too, that Mrs. Long nnd Mrs. Taleott were not active participants in the quarrel. Their old pleas nnt comaiilonshlp seemed virtually ended borauso, In their timid womanly submissive ness, they olieyed the unsiwken commands of their husbands rather than face tho displeas ure which would havo followed a defiance of them, llut they smiled when they met each other; they lingered In the church vestibule to exchange good morning. The autumn days filled the nlr with tho dim-blue vapor and not unpleasant odor of lionflre smoke. Mr. Taleott was lata with his. Ho had put it off till his fall clearing was dono tho garden freed of the dried and empty bean-vines, nnd rnked oil; the weeds pulled up which had flourished jwwerless for harm during the last month or two; and which now stood black and frozen; n few dead bushes cut down, and the fruit-trees trimmed here, and there. It was late in No vember when tho pile lay ready, low down in a corner of tho plundered potato-patch. In somo of its rough hollows lay tho remains of a thin snow, Mr. Taleott lighted It ilirectly after supper. Now and then he replenished it; at 8 o'clock it was'still burning. Ho sat down ou an old stump to look at it as it lea)ied and dickered itself out, lighting up a broad space around It nnd shining on tho high fenco. Mr. Taleott sat with his elliows on his knees and his chin in his hands. There was a sort of iaco in tho clear night, and in the early quiet which had settled down upon it. Ha looked around at tho still, bare sceno and tho iale-gray sky, and felt something of the tranquillity. A spark from tha subsiding fire suapiel nto n little pile of dry stalks half a rod dis tant and they flamed up. A twig took llro from them and burned to its end, nnd a loose splinter blazed in its turn. He watched tho curious lino of light as it atoits flickering way along. There was a deep deposit of dead leaves drifted up against tho tall fence; they took the alarm, and glowed and crackled smartly. And then the flame) mounted up, and grow broader and redder the fenco bad caught tire. Mr. Taleott got up and walked over to it. Then he returned, with scarcely the haste that might bo looked for, and started for tho pump. He seemed rather to linger on tho way; when he reached it, ho stood n moment without doing anything in particular liefore he filled n wooden pail, which lay near, and went back with it.

"Now, tho trouble is that these people lick and chew all tho gum off the stomp be fore they try to still it; and if tha gum were an inch thick, it would meet with the same fate.

II. Littlo l!,-n., tielcL'ate lrom the 1'omona Grange of this county, and Sir. Ka lnnka dclecato lrom the Northern Columbia nnd Southern Luzerne Auri- cultural society, and Mrs. Kves and little daughter nnd Mrs. V. L. Sands. Upacbed Ilnrriaburg nt cloven o'clock, in time to hear the reports of commit tees and tho closing business of tho lorcnoon session, Tlio tcommitteo on credentials decided that Mr. Kashinka from Herwick could not bo admitted as a member of tho State Board of Ag riculture ns both Luzerne and Colum bia counties had regularly admitted members nnd thero was no vacancy. Mr. Kashinka raised tho question whether or not every agricultural so ciety in a county was not entitled to a member in tho State Board, and after some discussion tho Chair ruled tho question out of order and called for the order of business. Our party registered at tho Jones House ami attended each session of tho Board while wo remained in tho city, I irst on tho order of business for Wednesday afternoon was an essay on 'Hook 1' arming, by lion U. 1). Mus- Belman, member from Somerset couuty. upposititm to book farming, said Mr. Musselnian, rests upon two props ignorance and superstition. Fami ne requires a creator knowledge ot science than any other calling. And although tho standard of intelligence) among farmers is not as high as it should be, they compare favorably with any other class in the community The theoretical farmer operates mostly upon paper at long range. The practical farmer gathers knowledgo from books and agricultural news papers, and then uses it. Agricultural papers are worth many times their cost. J. 15. Smith said when he firist bcgan farming ho knew but little about it. Ho had learned how to raise corn, and how to trim grapevines, and many oilier things, mainly lrom hooks and papers. John McDowell observ ed that in his illustrated farm book the riders were put on the worm fenco in tho wrong way. So tho man who reads, needs brains as well as eves. Colonel Young said that more knowl edge was what every farmer needed, and ihat to succeed ho must bo learn ing all tho time. So they niuet avail themselves of every help books, papers, observation, experience and experiment. Mr. Garrettson inquired whether a man with a liberal education could buy a farm and pay for it himself by tho profits from farmiug without working hard, and Professor Nelson replied that tho knowledgo of farming derived irom opoks is liko all other knowledge derived from books. It must bo used with caro and common sense. Experi ments conducted carelessly or not often repeated were generally worthless. A farmer can not succeed without work any moro than anv other man. econd, "Expectations and Experi ence, by II. II. Uolvm, member from Lackawanna. Tho essayist pictured tho contrast between the average far mer's expectations when ho commend ed 1110 larm work and his experience auer uavitig it lew crops, but urged mat 11 no would but continue to work and manage carefully his later expcii-! enco would come fully up to his most sanguine expectations. llnnl, 'Boundary Lines." Tho boundary lines of nature mountains. rivera and seas were generally crook ed and unsatisfactory, said N. I Un derwood' In tho western states tho farms were laid out in sectious 010 acres in a section and thirty two sec tions in a township. in tho taking up ot lauds 111 our own state it was first dono in large tracts. These ou paper resemble closely tho patchwork of a crnzy quilt, in com parison with the chepsboard work of our Western states. Disputed bound ary lines was tlio most prolific source of ill will among neighbors and adja cent land-owners. Mr. Searle had been a practical surveyor. Ho said two-thirds of all such troubles grow out of disputed boundary lines. Every lino should have at least three points marked on it by permanent landmarks. Tho owner of the land Bhould inspect them once a year and show them to his family, particularly the younger child ren. J. G, Zi-rr approved of this course ; it had been tho practico of his father and it was his own practice. Fourth, "Farmers' Kights and Dut ies." Dr. Calder argued that farmers as a class had not been sufficiently re spected They pay taxes for tho sup port of the Government. Tho work 011 the farm is tho foundation of all in dustries. Thero is no reuson why they should bo unequally burdened. If we protect tho manufacturer in tho importation of foreign productions, why not protect tho farmer as well T Although tho most numerous class, farmers havo Icbs influence becaiifo of failuro to cultivate a distinct class feel ing. Fanners Bhould unite, and, in stead of having a few farmers' clubs, the) Bhould havo a general organiza- lion. I armors miiBt unite lor tho preservation of their rights and for iho huiipretsiou of their wrongs. They should unite to elevate thiir calling, which is the most ancient and the most honorable among men. WI'.bNI'.SIUY llVKNINll. Frst, "Can a Woman Find Profita 11.

Whether a woman can find profitable employ meiit in hub woik, and in rearing blooded stock, ta a question with two Bides tho poetical and tho nractlcal In tho dairy woman is queen ami a liandsomo dairy maid tho Bi'blcct of fanoy aud of song, In iho Channel Inlands women aio employed as dairy maids and Block tenders. No work ecoms too hard for them. It is proper work for women to mako and market the varied forms of schmear caso or cot- j tage cheeso, which is sold largely in tho city markets. In Denmark, near Copenhagen, Mrs. Nielson has a school for tho Education of dairy women. Her daily products aro sup plied to tlio royal fnmlics and she is growing rich. Tho profits of good cowb aro greatly Increased by the caro and attention of dairy women. Tact in marketing displaying tho goods in attractivo forms is woman's peculiar province. Thn demand for butter milk was alluded lo as an interesting one. Thero is no reason why tho ex ample of Mrs. Nielson and tho dairy women of tho old world should not bo followed In the new. Cleanliness is necessary, from tho water tho cow drinks to tho marketing of the goods. Butter should bo sold under tho mak er's own namo nnd stamp, Shu should find a market within 100 miles of home. Tlio demand is now for fresh. made butter. Tho dairy interest was never moro depressed than now, yet at the samo time tho demand for strictly pure fresh butter was good. Mr. err thought a great deal of injury was done to butter by washing in water. The keeping qualities were destroyed. Hard working was tho best. Tho practico of the creameries ho did not approve of, although it lightened tho labor, but tho butter would not keep unless on ice, Mr. Hazard favored washing butter in a weak brine. John J. Carter said ono reason why creamerymen wash their butter was because so much working worked out tho aromatic oils, and that destroyed the tlavor. Water does not wash them out. lie had found no advantage in using salt in the water. Mr. Kashin ka wanted to know what the piolits of the creamerymen were. Mr. Carter said they paid three, and one-halt cents per quart for milk ; nine quarts ol milk made .1 pound 01 butter ; they Bold butter at lorty cents a pound, and tho ccntlemau could Injure the prohts for himself. Mr; Colvln did not favor lettiDfj butter Btand twelve hours bo tween the workings ; it would set, and tho trrain bo iniured by breaking it up again. Ho favored washing, salting and doing up for market at ono opera tion. Mr. E. II. Littlo also asked many pertinent questions on tho plans and profits of working dairies and cream' erica. This was followed by a very interest ing paper by Dr. E. W. Hale, member lrom Centre county, "Whati saw Europe," giving a brief account of his travels on the continent last summer. In Switzerland ho paid tho average farm was about fifty by 0110 bundled and fifty feet, about the size ot a small town lot in Pennsylvania, and when a man owned ono of these he was con sidered well off and if he owned three he was very rich. Tho greater patt ol the harvesting in Europe is done with tho sickle, and tho mowing with the scytho because first, machinery is either very poor or very high priced and second labor is very cheap and easily obtained. lie closed by paying that a trip over the ocean made him feel much better satis fied with his own eoiititry. THURSDAY MOltHINO. In accordance with tho call for this meeling, Thursday forenoon was given up to tlio discussion of Fences and Fence Laws. "Wooden Fences,'' according to Mr. Eastburn Heeder, may be conveniently clasfied as worm fences, board fences and post and rail fencts. Estimates of their cost were calculated upon a farm of ICO acres. To properly fenco Buch a farm and divide it into eight enclosures with suitable post and four rail fenco would require 2244 panels of 10 feet each, and cost over $1700. To fenco such a farm with worm or zig zag rail fence would require 2468 pan els, and cost s'.'.uuu, 1110 cost 01 board fences was estimated at Si. 10 per rod. The annual cost for repairs would bo from S40 to 50. The dura bility of tho fences depended upon tho quality ot tlio timber to a great ex tent, and other conditions of which 110 accurato estimates could be well made. Tlio utility of such fences had been greatly diminished by the introduction of wire as a fencing material. Tho price of fencing timber had fallen 20 . . -.i.- j . .i.. - - per cent wtiiiiu a lew yours nil tins no count, notwithstanding the increasing scarcity of timber. Wood as a materi al lor fencing is still too dear, and we shall soon be obliged to Beek a cheaper as well as moro durable material. "Wire Fences" were discussed by John J. Carter. Among their advan tages aro (1), lightness (when a board fenco begins to lean iu great weight soon lorces it down); (2), slight oh Btrtictiou to winds; (8), decreased trou ble from snow drifts along highways ,i. -i ii r .1 cleanliness, irom too caso wuu which brush and weeds aro cleared from tho rows; (Til, cheapness of its post timber, and ((), rapidity of con struction. Tho dangers to stock were not so great as had been teaied; hut a wire leu co Bhould bo mado conspicuous The cost of bucIi fences per milo were : ribbon wire, $181.22 1 buckthorn wire, S208.06; barbed wiie, S173.77; plain, No. G wire, S188.01. The cost of post ana ran ienco per nine, iuu. 111 Londoucrove Township, Chester coun ty, there were 140 farnis of an averago of eighty acres each. To fence one of theso farms would cost, witli plain wire and iron posts, 61,500 : with njst and four-rail fence, SI, 100; with biiek'.horn wire (four strands), 728 ; with plain wire (five strands), $058 ; with ribbon wire (four strands),$G34; with common lashed wire, $008. Profepsor Nelson wanted to know whether a man mak ing a barbed wire fenco along a road would bu liable for damages horn acci dents to stock passing along said road, and Secretary Edgo replied that in Chestor countv tho Supervisors had ordered Biieh fences taken down, uud in suits for damages arising from acci dents the courts thero had decided against tho owners of barbed wlro fenoes. "Tho Fenco Laws ot Pennsylvania" wero disctiBsed by Hon, Ueoruo W Hood Tho fundamental principal of our law is that overy man must kee his cattle 011 his own laud. Ho must eithor keep a watch over them or fenco about them, The primary ob jeot is to keep his own stock in, nnd not other Btock out. It was booh dis covered that parallel fences were use less, henco a partition of lino fences was adopted. Tho act of 1842 makes township auditors fenco vlowfrs, aud makes provisions for tho partition of lino fences. In regard to cattle upon the publio road tho law recognizes a lawful and an unlawful right. Tho act of 1700 was established when tho coun try was new nnd appear to bo the law yet. The Leg'.Blnturo ol 1885 passed a bill repealing it, but it was subse quently enacted that tho repealing act Bhould not apply to nny county in tho State unless tho county order it by n oirect vote. This net puts it in tho power of any county lo repeal the act of 1700 within its own boundaries t yet practically tho law is not and will not bo repealed. County commission ers will not take tho responsibility. Tho prejudices of the peoplo will enter nun tueir nuiiuiin. Mr. Hood's essay was long, compact nnd very interesting. It was followed by reports from over fifty delegates and members representing Agricultural do- cities, Farmer's Clubs, and Grauges in all parts of iho etato and tho discus sion on tho fence problem culminated 111 a lormal resolution, "Ihat this Board favors tho repeal of tho fence law of 1"00, and a return to the prin ciple of common law by which overy man is held responsible for his own stock." At tho opening of (ho afternoon ses sion Mr. Eves asked that ' beforo pro ceeding with tho business of the hour Mr. Heeder bo permitted to mako a statement. Request granted, Mr. Heeder said that to cano a man was agaiust his priucinlcs. That he had never committed the crimo aud now requested Mr. McDowell to relieve him of his duty. Mr. McDowell took tho lloor and after a brief address to tho Chair in which ho referred to tho pleas ant relations that had over existed be tween tlio members of this Board and the present President, and the fact that this would bo tho last annual meeting of tho Board at which ho would preside in his present capacity, ho presented tho Chair with .1 beauti ful gold headed cane engraved as fol lows : "To his Excellency, Kobert E. Pattison, Governor of Pennsylvania ard President of tho Stato Board of Agriculture, from tho members, Ilar lisburg, January "8th, 188G." Tho Governor in accepting the gift made a very pleasing address and called for the order of business. Hon. J. A. Woodward, of Howard, Pa., in a very able essay : "What does the Farmer most want to know,'' said the whole subject could bo ans wered by ono woid MOKE. Farmers should not fail to hear this lecturo if they ever havo tho opportunity. It is hrim full of common sense. Just as W. P" Hazard Esq. arose to read his essay on "Kaising Grapes" (Tho last but two on the program) we were oblig ed to leave for the 3:M train in or der to reach homo that day. We submit the abovo as a report of tho proceedings of the Board with tho additional comment ihat overy part was well prepared and well produced and would have paid every farmer in Columbia county for,his time and ex penses hadho attended as we did.

WiiiTi:, Delegates. Farm Hints for March. Farm work in March is moro depen dent upon tho weather and climate thau that of any other month, and al though our southern readers will bo well torwarded with their spring gram sown, betoro the month comes 111, whether it comes "like a lion,"' or "liko a lamb, wo of tho fncid North may havo still three feet of frost in tho ground, and perhaps good sleighing up to the twenty tilth, north-ea"ters last ing a week, spring floods, and roads which neither horsos feet nor wagon wheels can find bottom in, may bo tho order of the day. So liiuts about work must be taken with liberal allowance for the waywardness of this first spring and last winter mouth. New seeds and new tools Bhould not bo lost sight of, and it will often pay to test tha former iu small quantities ; then, if tlmy do well, you will have soinu seed yourself, and may easily get more. Wonted not remind our read ers to bo beforehand 'with their work. Spiing L'rainB can. hardly bo in tho ground too soon afto- the frost u out. Potatoes follow as unuu ns thero m reasonable warmth in tho ground. Glass seed and clover may bo sown with spring grain, and clover on win ter grain, is best sown upon one of tho Inst light winter snows. Tlio earlier manure is out upon crass nnd orain and, the better. Even when the man- uro is intended for a corn crop, and not to lui plowed under until the first pait of May, the gain in the growth of grass, will moio than compensate tho loss by tho action of rains and drying winds, except upon hill-sides and spots whero tho laud is especially exposed to tlie washing by heavy rains. It is rare that tho month passes without warm and dry woather suflicient to nit the ground in condition for plow ing throughout tho great middle corn and Binnll grain belt of the country. American Agriculturist for March. James K. Miller, of Camden Co., Mo., was bitten by a dog that ho thought was mad, He at once sat out for Boonvillo whero he had heard that thero was a mtdsione, A Mr. Bacon had one, and it wns applied to tho wound, to which it had readily ad hered for a time. When it fell off it was washed iu warm water nnd then applied again. This was dono three times, anil then the stono would cling no more. Mr. Miller had a wound on his hand made tho samo day on which tho doj; bit him, Tho stono would not adhere to this at all. J. II.
