Miner's Jlcpartmrut. Rail V 3 Board Fences. 1 ? AII. fences occupy, IJ an eiirliteeu feet of laoil, board fences only six, in plowed land. Hail fences are not so objectionable in meadow.> and pastures ; sfill there is half to thirds difference in favor of board, and lull two thirds in saving of material. Tunb< r can be made into board fine- Ik> r I fences with stand winds which rail hardly can, even stak ed and capped. Some may object that trost jml Is lip fence posts, and they cannot be put up as easily as to lay up rails. 1 will give a description of my board fence, mauncr of building, &c. I cut togs tor board-, of chesnut, black or white oak, in fad or win ter. For each rod of fence it requires on board each ten, eight, seven, six, and five inches in width ; also one five inch board extra lor bat tens on every four posts or two rods of fence. Fence posts made of gold white oak, sawed 5 by G at the bottom, and 2 by 5 at the top, leaving them 5 by . r > where they come to the top of the ground. For every three rods of fence I use one 4 by 4 scantling, twelve led long, sawing the same in six pieces, two feet each, which I use as follows : Halve each post at the bottom 4 inches up, and make a dovt - tail. Lay it on tho two feet piece, in the mi. - die, and mark the dove tail, taking half of that, then drive it into the post, forming a sort of foot. One hand will bottom fifty po.-ts a day, and it can be done in the barn in the the winter and on wet days. 1 find that the holes can be dug two feet long and two feet deep, us easily and a quickly as if only eight inches square. Such a fence here costs about til 1-2 cents per rod. and will last fourteen to twenty years, if the posts are well seasoned previous to setting, and a coat of coal tar put on six inches up, and down at the surface o the ground. This will not pull up by frost .nor lift with wind. Aline, seven years old, is firm ns can be. Seasoned posts will last double the time of green ones. Coal tar can be got at gas works at SI,OO per barrel, and should be put on hot. A fanner that can make a hay rack with a good saw. square, chisel, and hammer can build such a fence. 1 use the five inch boards for caps and battens. The C ure is four boards high, and four feet four inches high. 1 cut logs for posts thirteen feet lonsr, and saw in two at the mill ; fence bouids, s - teen feet, six inches, and one inch thick. Bra. h white oak is the best. PAYTON SIGI.KK. CONSTRUCTION OF STONE WAI.S. —To construct a good stone wall is by no means a difficult task, and yet a large share of those we see are hy no means what thev should be, but tumble down rieketty uffairs, only an apology for a feme. To erect a good stone fence it is necessary except on ground not effected by frost, to dig a trench twelve to eighteen inches deep, and as wide as the base of the wall is desired to be. For a half wall, two feet ; and for a four and a half or five foot wall, two and a halt'fV. t wide. This trench should be filled with small stones ponded down, and made level with the ground. The frost will not effect such afund ation injuriously. Where the foundation ot large stone is laid on the top of the ground, or near the surface, thawing affects if badly by occurring on one side before it does the other especially in walks miming eu-t and west, causing them to lean to the sun, and soon fall down in that direction. On the foundation of small stone-', com mence with the largest, putting them length wise across the wall, so as to bind it well and firmly together If stones are not long enough to reach through the wall pretty often, use those that will hip on each other and form binders, as in this binding will depend, in n great measure, the strength of the wall In making wall where the stones are all small,use is. made of small slats of coder, chesnut, or oak for binding the wall, and experience has prov ed them to answer a good purpose. The wall should have an equal batter, or draw in with an equal slope on each side, so as to be not more than ten or twelve inches wide on the top. A full wall should be about five feet high, and w here practicable, have a course of of large stone firmly placed on the top, large enough to cover the width of the wall. Many walls are built about three and a half feet high, with a good black ash, or other straight pole laid on the top, over which, at proper distances stakes are firmly set in the ground, crossing at the top into which rails are placed, making a fence much preferred for some purposes. Sheep and cattle never get in the habit of running over the wall with a top rail, and are often troublesome where the wall is whole, unless (piite high ; and sheep are often getting ov. r the highest stone fences. As a finishing stroke to a wall, bank it up witli the earth taken from the trench, and plow a furrow on each side, where practicable placing the earth against the wall, and clean ing out the furrows to serve as ditches to carry off surplus water. Stone fences constructed in this manner ra vy reasonably be expected to remain permanent for years. n. T. . Washington, Co.. X. 1". I Ire. 1 -.VS. ON. TIIE DOORS AND LOCICS—A creaking door is always a nuisance. Its noi-e is un pleasant to all, and particularly d.stressing to the sick. With a feather occasionally in troduce a little oil or even melted tallow or lard into the joints of the hinge, and all will go smoothly. Locks should also be kept well oiled. Apply a little oil to the blade of the key, and also to the bolts, especially to sidemf the bolt that strikes the catch or holder, when shutting the door. This will prevent the necessity of " slamming," saving much patience and lessening the wear of the door and the parts around it. Once in a while take off' the lock and oil the pirts within, where there is friction ; it will work easier and last very mueli longer. FATTENING CATTLE IN WINTER.—I have fat tened a number of cattle by giving them three pecks of potatoes per day, with hay and no water. This will make good juicy beef. When potatoes are plenty, this is a cheap way to fat ten cattle. Feel small potatoes whole. SILAS BCSH.— Skanmtets (Onondaga Co., V. Y.

Patented by SILAS HEWITT, July 14, 1857. THIS CHURN is the result of years of experience by a practical farmer, to produce a Churn that has all the advantages of the old Dash Churn, and be a labor-saving 1 Machine. We claim for this Churn, and are prepared to prove by actual demonstration, that it will produce more flutter—abetter quality—-with less time and less labor— than any other Churn in market. It is perfectly simple in its construction, not liable to get out of order, and a child can operate on it. It has been thoroughly tested by several hundred farmers in Senec* and adjoining Counties, and its merits fully established wherever introduced, and is pronounced by alt to be one of the greatest improve ments of the ago. W The following extract from the Seneca Falls papers of May 2Gth, is a sample of what the " EXCELSIOR CHURN " has done, in competition with other Churns : '• A trial between the Smith C'hnrn.of Elgin, Illinois, (which took the first premium at the State Fair at Buffalo last fall, and has taken the premium at all the Fairs where it has been exhibited) and the Excelsior Ch tni, of this village, took place at Woodmansee'a Hotel, the 20th inst. The cream was taken from the same vessel, after being stirred up that it might be of the same temperature and | quality—one quart at a time—each Churn receiving two gallons. The Excelsior V 'hum p odured and gathered the flutter hard and yellow in six and a half minutes, while the Smith Churn was 12 minutes in producing the Butter, which was soft, white and oily ; and Excelsior Chum produced Twelve Ounces more Butter than the Smith Churn ! The Excelsior Churn then produced thir teen ounces of good Butter from the Butter Milk of the Smith Churn, being more than half as much as they got from the cream ! The Smith Churn could not produce any Butter trout the buttermilk of the Excelsior Churn.' Trial of Churns—Report of t he Committee. At the trial between Smith's Churn, from Elgin,lllinois, and Hewitt's Excelsior Churn, manufactured in this vil lage, which took place at Woodmansee'a Hotel, on Wed nesday morning, the following was the result of the trial: Heivit's Churn, 21 lbs.—Butter in tii minutes. Smith's Churn, l| lbs.—Butter in 12 minutes. About two gallons of Cream was put in each Churn. The milk from Smith's Churn was then changed to Heiv it's, and thirteen ounces of Butter extracted from it. No Butter could le brought from the milk from the Hewit ('hum, which was transferred to Smith's. The quality of Butter from Hcwit's Churn was much the best, being of better color, and more solid. A second trial, which was about one-tliird more cream was put in the Hewit C'hurn than in the other, resulted very nearly the same us above, Hewit's Churn being shown to be greatly the superior. EDWARD S. LATHAM,) r JONATHAN SACKET,j Comm '" ee - Seneca Falls. May 21, I*sß. Ali that is asked for this Churn is, to let it rest on its own merits—the world is challenged to produce better.
