How to make Stone Wall.
Another very excellent method to rid the"
iniid of stone is to put them into walls—
is. t the nondescript, disjointed appologies
i• too often greet our sight in passiug
tor nigh the country,which look as if dump
<• 1 (nit of a cart in zig-zag form—the own
ci s of which deserve to be indicted by a
grand jury and sentenced to spend their
(i ys wandering upon "John Brown's Tract,"
without benefit of clergy—but straight,
firm, trim-built ones, such as farmers, wor
thy of the name, adorn their premises with.
There is a right and a wrong way to build
vails, as well as to do other things, and if
we commence right we shall be quite sure
to end right. In soft and loose soil there
should be a ditch dug the width of the bot
tom of the wall and from one to two feet in
depth, and filled in with such small stone
as are unfit to put in the body of the wall.
This serves to drain oil the water from the
surface and prevent the ground from heav
u . which is the usual cause of walls fal
-1 town. If they pass over ridges and
ass hollows, there should be outlets at
r. it angles with the ditch at the bottom
i. .• ridges to convey away the water;
(i rwise the ditch will remain full, and in
c hd weather freeze and gradually force out
tii - stone from their position,when the wall
of course, will tumble down.
When the small stone are filled in the
ditch, draw and roll on them the large ones
to form the bottom of the wall ; they should
be well secured in their places and made
perfectly solid, as the whole structure rests
upon them. The base of the wall should
not be more than two and a half feet wide,
unless the stones are very large,when they
may project beyond the average width.—
Do not lay more than one course of stone
without binding them by others that reach
through the entire width ; never suffer the
sides to be laid up and the centre filled in
with small stone. Pay off such a workman
and send him away without his dinner—he
deserves to fast for the imposition. It is
cheaper to build the wall when the stone
• drawn and finish the work up at once,
ie iviug nothing behind to be cleared up ;
b i. this is not always practicable nor very
< utial. A wall is strongest that has a
gradual slope on both sides from the hot
tun upwards ; four feet is a sufficient
i i ght, hut they may be built four and a
h.nt feet if preferred. There should be a
course of large stone laid upon the top to
prevent the displacement of the smaller
ones by animals and bipeds, and to give it
a more finished appearance ; some place
the earth taken from the ditch against the
wall, forming a light bank, but this should
not be done, as the action of frost upon it,
has a tcndancy to loosen the stone.
1 have said nothing about putting sticks
in the wall ; they are an advantage, and
when walls are built of cobble stone.bticks
should invariably be used. They add some
what to the expense, but supposing that
farmers act ou the principle that whatever
is worth doing is worth doing well, the in
crease cost should not prevent their use.—
They are easily and quickly made,either by
being rived out of any free-grained wood,
or by sawing that which is tough or cross
grained into half-inch boards and cutting
them the desired length ; by this last meth
od, if laid in regular courses, a beautiful
and permanent wall is made. The sticks
or boards, on account of the dry state they
are kept in by the stone, lust a long time.
Some object to walls as being expensive to
build, and often needing repairs, and as
being cumbrous and unsightly ; but I think
those who keep a correct account of the
cost of construction and material, will find
the balance in their favor when compared
with the cost of a vail or board fence. Be
sides, the material of the former is indes
tructible, while that composing the latter
is very perishable, and each year is becom
ing more scarce and expensive.
\\ alls also answer the double purpose of
lidding the land of stone and as a safe
guard for its productions. As to repairs, a
yowl wall will need none for the first dozen
years ; after that time an occasional spot
may need some attention, but much of it
will stand firm one half of the three score
and ten years of man's alotted life, while a
rail or board fence will often be prostrated
almost its entire length, and nuiat as often
be rebuilt, with a loss of material. A rail
is also found thrown off, or a board loose,
frequently during the season. As regards
i t auty, Ac., I think a well-finished, syste
matical wall, when contrasted with tlie ir
regular,dilapidated worm fence of the coun
try, will not suffer in compai ison. A nice
board or picket fence may be as ornamen
tal. lam inclined to think that some far
mers suppose walls to be a sort of half har
dy production, and they need protection
ii in the manner they screen them from the
elements and observation, by means of the
ciders, brambles, thistles, weeds, Ac., that
are suffered to grow up around them.' This
would seem to be the only conclusion to be
arrived at, unless they are thus suffered to
grow as ornamental. One would suppose
that, did they desire ornamental trees,
shrubs, flowers, Ac., they would place them
around their dwellings ; but, on the contra
ry, such farms are almost invariably desti
tute of these surroundings. Farmers,make
at least one of your outside fences of walls, .v
do not longer attempt to till the soil while
it is encumbered with stone.— Ex.
(YRE FOR HEAVY HORSES.— Having had a
large experience with animals afflicted with
the disease in question, always with suc
cess, with a small amount of "labor, I sub
mit the following : First, procure (if you
have not one already), a head halter, and
tie the horse so that he cannot eat the bed
ding ; give for a few days but little food,
and that wet, not more than half the ueua'l
quantity, which will relieve the breathing •
alter which, nutritious food is fed liberally
w'ih grain, and less hay, and-so long as
you do 80, your horses will not have the
heaves.
If the owner wishes to hurry recovery, a
dose of physic,(an ounce of powdered aloes,)
w ill unload the bowels quicker.
I have owned several heavy horses, and
alter treating them as stated above, I have
doubted whether they ever had the disease,
Kit after (by accident) a large amount of
hay had been devoured, the distressed
breathing and doubled action of the flanks
reasserted the facts.- Corr. Mass. Plough
man. J
TEMPERATURE IN BUTTER-MAKING.— Accord
ing to experiments made by Phode,thc tem
perature of the cream affects—
1. The time required to make the butter ;
the colder, the longer.
2. the quantity of the butter ; the colder
the cream the greater the quantity.
3. I pon the quality of the butter—cold
cream producing the best.
Hence, although by using warm cream
there is a saving of time, there is a loss in
quantity and quality.

rpWENTY-FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE
-A. IN DENTISTRY.—J. S. fc's ra, M. D., would re
spectfully inform the inhabit an'- ei" T:. . .IlorG < y
that he is peiriiananily located in Wavcrly, N.Y.. where
he has been in the practice of his profession tor tue past
four years. He would say that from his long and suc
cessful practice of 25 years duration, be is familiar with
all the different styles of work done in any and all ! n
tal establishments iu city or country, and is ! Iter pre
pared than any other Dental operator in trie vicinity to
do work the liet adapted to the many and different
cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist,
as he understands the art oi making his own artificial'
teeth, and has facilities for doing the same. To
requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to
his new kind oi work which consists of porcelain !or
both plate and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. It
is more durable, more natural iu appearance, and much
better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work.
Those in need of the same are invited to call and exam
ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and olten
t mes for lite. Chloroform, ether, atul "Nitrous oxide"
administered with perfect salety, as over four hundred
patients within the last four years can testify.
I will be in Towanda from the 15th to 30th ot everv
month, at the office of VV. K. TAYLOR, (formerly 'oc
cupied by Dr. O. H. Woodruff.) Having made arrauge
ments with Mr. Taylor, I am prepared to do all work in
the very best style, at his office.
