That there is a considerable quan
tity of land unoccupied or waiting for
occupants in some of counties is only
too well known. An estate in the
eastern counties, a largo portion of
which is unoccupied, has been abso
lutely offered to responsible tenants
rent free for the first year, the owner
being willing to accept an extremely
'""faw rent for subsequent years or to
take a percentage of the returns.
In some of the southern counties
there are plenty of large farms vacant,
although these aro ill adapted for
most occupants. Farmers uow prefer
landipon which they can keep a large
dairy herd or breed a few horses and
cattle of high quality. I no inrms in
question are practically sheep farms
and of little value for any other pur
poses than the production of mutton
and barley. Jlanchester Uuardian.

TO KEEP HOOS HEALTHY.
Cleanlv surroundings, pure, clean,
good food of the proper kinds for
building tho growing frame work
whilst growing or for fatteniug when
finishing off is as essential to the health
of hogs as to any other animal, says
Oilman's Rural World, and to reverse
those is to induce frailty, weakness,
loss of appetite, and, sooner or later,
disease. It may be iu individual cases
only, or it may attack and decimate
the whole herd and bring rain and dis
aster to the owner. Filthy pens, filth
fed with food, filthy, rotten, and de
cayed food, sour swill, the dead car
casses of diseased animals, the drop
pings of diseased animals, etc., etc.,
and a like line of feeding and keeping
are all conducive to nnthrift and dis
ease, just as surely as that dry wood
will burn when heaped upon a big fire,
and we do well to recognize the fact
and act upon it. Hogs as raised and
fed for market nowadays are the
merest kind of hothouse plants any
how. They are crowded, and crammed,
and made gluttonous from their earliest
feeding days and unless great care is
taken very easily become feverish, ex
cited, overheated, and fit receptacles
for floating microbes or other animal-
cnlro in the air, the grass, or on their
food.

MAKING AND MKNDINO FENCES.
Bnildinff and maintaining the fences
on the farm is an itom of considerable
expense. It will be found advisable
to plan the farm so as to lessen the
quantity of necessary fencing as much
as possible. In many cases the greater
part of the cultivated land can be put
into one field and in this way a con
Bidcrable saving be made.
What- fences are necessary should be
arood ones. A fence is intended either
to keep stock out or in, and if it fails
of this purpose it is an expense with
out benefit.
In the spring go carefully over the
fences and see that they are in good
repair, as it certainly is not good
economy to risk a crop where there is
a chance of stock breaking into it.
One of the best times for driving posts
is in the sprinp; when the frost is all
out of the ?i''"i'.id and the soil is soft
If tho post well sharpened tbey
can be set mure rapidly in this way
than many other. At this season there
is always more or less time when the
ground is too wet to work, and the
fences can be overhauled without in
terfering with the other farm work.
Wire fencing is so cheap and so
convenient that it has largely taken
the place of other kinds. One decided
advantage with it is durability, while
a goad barb-wire fence will restrain
stock that no other kind of fence
will.
One of the best fences, especially
when small hogs are to be restrained,
is made with wire netting eighteen to
twenty-four inches high at the bottom
and three or four strands of barb-wire
above this.
By using fonr-point hog wire at the
bottom, making the lirtt three or four
strands of this kind, and the rest of
two-point cattle wire, a hog-proof
fence can be made entirely of barbed
wire. When this is done it will nearly
always bo best to set the posts eight
feet apart, taking care to stretch the
wires tight. One important item in a
good, all-wire fence is to have good,
stout end posts, and to set them deep
in the ground and see that they are
well braced.
A very good fence of all-smooth wire
can be made by using niue or ten
wires ard putting in an upright btay
not further than every ttiree feet.
Two plauks at the bottom and three
or four strands of barbed wire above
them make one of the best kinds of
fences that can be built. At present
prices it is doubtful if it is good econ
omy to muke an all-rail fence. AVork
the timber into lumber, ties, posts or
cord wood, and a better, cheaper and
more lasting fence can be made buy
inz wire. One ercat advantage of a
wire fence is that it takes up much
less room and is much easier kept
clean. St. Louis Republic.
phosphates have proved valueless;
horse manure spread on clover sod a
year previous to planting is the best
preparation. The land 18 plowed in
the fall, twice dragged in the spring,
with a spring tooth ' harrow, 'llie
drills aro marked out three feet apart
with a two-horso revcrsiblo plow, lot
ting the plow run as deep as when the
land was first plowed, turning all fur
rows down hill, which forms a bank
on the lower side. Where land is
steep the soil cannot be worked up to
tho hill from the lower side. The
other way is marked with a narrow
toothod marker, which draga some
fine earth back into the furrow, which
makes a perfect tved bed.
The cut aeed is dropped and stopped
on by boys. With the same plow and
one horse walking in the trench, the
seed is covered, throwing the soil the
same way as before, not back. The
tubers are coverod six to eight inches
doep and the ground is two-thirds re
plowed. The potatoes will bej a long
time in coming up, will escape the
first crop of bugs, will withstand
drouth, can be harrowed several times,
and, best of all, will bo strong, rank
growers, soon shading the ground
with their foliage. I have never yet
found a new tuber below the pieoe
planted, nor above that point on the
stalk which first saw tho light, no
matter how much soil was piled around
it afterwards. Therefore it is best to
plan so as to have a long bearing stem,
with tuoers attached far enough fruio
each other to expand fully, instead of
a hat full of the size of hens' eggs at
tached to two inches of stalk.
From the time the potatoes are plant
ed until they break through the
ground, they are dragged several times
with a heavy two-horse spring drag,
drawn in the same direction they were
covered, but not across the furrows.
This levels down the two furrows par
tially, and forms a rounded hill, com
pletely mellows the soil in the hill,
kills all weeds, can be done by a boy
at a very small expense, as compared
with cost of .cultivating, and is infinite
ly better iu the quality of woTk done.
By this process no hoe ever goes into
the field, nor any sunburned potatoes
come out. The root growth is enor
mous ; some of the roots are twenty
inches long before any tubers have set.
The after cultivation is very shallow
to keep the srrouud from crusting over
after rains, and to keep the soil fine
and mellow, so as to servers a mulch
in times of drouth.
Select some large yielding, medium
late, disease resisting, long white po
tato, and the battle is half won. Round
potatoes are not favorites in the mar'
ket, and peal to waste. Do not let
your seed sprout. In a trial row I out
the seed early last season, placed it in
crates and covered it with land plaster,
which kept it cool ; when planted the
buds were swollen full, but not enough
to break off. Thus treated, it gave
the largest yield of any of my trial
rows. My rule is to seed according to
the quality of the land. The poorer
the land the farther apart the hills,
and tho less seed. American Agrioul
turitst.

7 ABM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A hen should lay about twelve dozen
eggs a year.
Always see that the milch cow has a
good milk-forming ration.
Y'ou can feed clover to laying hens
four or five tunes a day with profit,
Be sure to fix up a warm poultry
house for next winter. Cold liens are
profitless.
Sprinkle a good dressing of copper
as under the grapevines as a remedy
for mildew.
Land that cannot be profitably cnlti
vated may often be planted with trees
to advantage.
Between hay and grass is a precari
ous period for the cows. They will
bear attention.
In the growing of large strawberries
a rich soil thoroughly prepared is an
important factor.
Good drainage should always be pro
vided before the planting is done,
rather than afterward.
Unless a sow has shown characteris
tics of early maturity she should not
bo used for breeding purposes.
A weak, delicate horse is poor prop
erty. Breed for vigorous action. Breed
sound mures to sound stallions.
In building your poultry house
don't put too much glass in it. One
third of the south front is sufficient.
The best time to prune the plums is
in the spring, between the last heavy
freezes and the breaking of the buds.
Bones make a good fertilizer if
buried near the grapevines. Old boots
and shoes may be utilized in the same
way.
If winds break off any of the limbs
of trees, the stubs should be cut off
close and smooth and the wounds cov
ered with paint.
If given plenty of room the white
and sucjar maples are fine door yard
trees for shade. A lawn set with
maples and evergreens presents a hand
some appearance.
Old geese are better layers and
mothers than young ones. As the
young geese are in greater demand in
the market it would be advisable to
keep the old ones for breeding, as
they are prolifio for years.
It certainly requires as much labor
to make a pound of poor butter as it

It is a curious fact, but well known
both to soiontfio folk and to experi
enced housewives, that the direct ac
tion of the sun is at once surer and
more satisfactory than that of any
other known boat. So n hen we learn
it is a tradition of old Virginia cook
ery to preserve strawberries in the sun
in place of over the stove there is lit
tle occasion for surprise, but only an
opportunity to realize how much those
famous cooks can teach ns.
Tho berries treated after the follow
ing reoipe are both richer and more
perfect than those prepared in any
other way. The object of the glass is
of course only that ol concentrating
the heat, and the effect is not dissimi
lar to that known to every child who
has played at the old trick of burning
the skin by catching one of old Sol's
rays upon a bit of broken glass.
Tho peculiar purity of the sweetness
combined with the succulent redness
in this sun-cooked preserve gives a
suggestion of some oriental conserve.
The berries seem to be permeated with
the sun s sweetness in addition to their
own, and the syrup become rich, pure
and clear as syrup can be. lhe berry
retains its shape and comes unbroken
from the jar, which alone is cause suf
ficient for recommendiug this espe
cial preserve.
I trust enough has been said to in
sure a trial by every woman who loves
toothsome dainty; certainly those
who know the luxuries with which a
Virginia dame of the old school fills
her closot will realize bow lucky she
is who finds these secrets out.
The Virginia rule requires three-
quarters of a pound of sugar to a
pound of strawberries. The sugar is
mixed with just enough water to wet
it and put on to boil. It is to be
taken off before it thickens and poured
over the strawberries. Then the ber
ries are set in the sun two days,
covered with a pane of glass. They
are occasionally stirred.
On the third day pour off the syrup
and boil it again it will be found
much thinned by tho juice of the
fruit. While boiling drop in a lump
of alum the size of tho tip of your lit
tle finger. Four the hot syrup over
the berries and set in the sun again,
under glass. The next day pour all
into the preserving kettle and boil
until the berries plump up. Then
set in the sun again for a day. The
next morning seal the preserve in
small jars with brandied paper on top.
Strawberries preserved in this man
ner never mold or ferment. They
are delicious for roll pudding, for
filling tarts, for layer cake and to
serve with glass custards, but most
toothsome of all with Old Dominion
"beaten buscuit."

Foached Eggs With Onions
Variety in cooking is never more wel

frying half a dozen medium-sized
sliced onions in a little butter, or
mixed butter and drippings, until
nicely browned. They should not be
reeking with fat wheu done, and what
little there is on them must be drained
off; season with salt and pepper; lay
on six poached eggs, spriukle with a
very little cayenne and give just one
equeeze of lemon juice over the top.
A nice sauce to pour over poached
eggs is made by simmering four table
spoonfuls of any good gravy with four
of water and two of good vinegar ;
season with salt tnd popper; stir in
very slowly, so as not to curdle, two
well-beaten yolks of eggs, and as soon
as it thickens pour over Lome poached
eggs. Do not allow the sauce to boil,
cr it will not be at its best.

never forgot a frioml. lie was once,
wliilo a young man, taken sick in a New
Jersey town, ami an old laily thero
nursed hi in through tho illness. Ho
never forgot it, alway iniiuirinir after
his benefactress, and on' every ossi
blo occasion reminded her substan
tially of her kiuduoHH. One time slio
made up her mind to vixit a daughter
in a distant plaeo in the est, and set out
to save tho money for the trip. A
few days before tho day set she was
surprised to get an envelope contain
ing; pannes all tho way tuoro anil back.
She never found out how Mr. Gould

A Real Luke ol fire,
Tho greatest nntural wontler of

Lako Dana, or Dana Lake, a body of
molten lava ten miles iu cirenmfor

this wonderful lako appears as if it
wero a sea of rod hot water dashing
against tho clilT which surround it on
all aides to a height averaging 100
feet. J. .T. Williams, of Honolulu,
who probably knows moro about tho
volenti io conditiou of tho island than
any other living man, says that "this

A lleaae In a Fret.
Let the mother beoome sick an 1 helpless.
and tho house Is all in disorder. When both
father and mother aro down, you may a
Well close the shutters. Order Is brought
out of chaos often very easily, and Mrs. John
Malln, of South B'ltte, Mont., Feb. 17, 1NU3
found an easy way out of her difficulties, at
she writes thus : "My husbnn t an I I too'
very bad rheumatism from severe colds, an I
my arms were so lame I could not raise them
to help myself, I sant at onoo for a bottle of
St. Jacobs OH, and before the bottle was
half empty, I could go about my work. My
husband became to lame he could not K"t
out ct bod. Two an 1 a half bottles com
pletely cured him. I will always pralu ) Ht.
Jacobs OH and you may use this as you seo
lit." This Is a clear cue of what Is best at
the right moment, and how every household
can be made happy whore pain abounds.
The Area ol 1'iltsburg.
TitUburg, which used to be a little
town squeezed down into the narrow
triauglo of the junction of the Alle
ghany and Monongahela, has grown
into a eity of unusually large area in
proportion to its population. The city
engineers were cutting streets through
dense woodlands more than twenty
years ago, and farms, miles from the
city hall, were held at speculative
prices. Tho city line is now more
than six miles from the Ohio eastward,
and its length between the Alleghany
and Monongahela is between four and

Mrs. F. L. Inman, of Manton. Wexford
Co., Mica., whose portrait heads this article,
writes as follows: "I began taking Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription about a year
ago. For years I have suffered with falling
and ulceration of the womb, but to-day, 1
am enjoying perfect health.
I took four bottles of the 'Prescription'
and two ot Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. Every lady suffering from female
weakness should rry the ' Proscription' aud
Uolden Medical Discovery.
Miss Mary J. Tanner, North Lawrence,
Bt Lawrence Co., N. Y.. writes: "I was
sick for four years. For two years I could
do no work. I had five different physicians,
who pronounced my cose a poor or impov
erished condition of the blood, and uterine
trouble. I suffered a great deal with pain in
both sides, and much tenderness on pressing
over the womb. I bloated at times iu my
bowels and limbs ; was troubled wltb lett
eorrhea. I could not sleep, and was troub
led with palpitation of the heart. Buffered
a great deal of pain In my head, temples,
forehead and eyes. I bad a troublesome
miiffh. raised a srreat donl and at times ex-
penencea a gooa aeai oi pain ui hit vnet
rid lungs. My voice at times was very weak,
suffered excruciating mouthly, periodical
pains. Hince taking seven bottles of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription some time ago,
I have enjoyed better health than I have for
moro than four years previously ; in fact,
for several months past I have been able to
work at sewing. I have gained in weipht
thirty-nine pounds since taking your medi
cines : the soreness and pain have disup
peared.'1 Yours truly,
Mrs. Alex. Robertson, of Half RoeV, War
eer Co.. Mo., writes: For twenty years. I
suffered with womb disease and most of tM
time I was in constant pain which rendered
lifo a great burden, I cannot express what
I suffered. I had eight doctors and all the
medicine I had from them failed tho on
after the other.
I was nervous, cold hands and feet, palpita
tion, headache, backache, constipation, lea
corrheo and no appetite, with bearing-down
pains. 1 cot so weak I could not walk
around. I bad to keep my bed, thinking I
would never get any better.
One day my husband got one ot your little
bonks and read it to nie. He said there was
nothing doing ine any good. I said I would
try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I did
try it. After the first few weeks my appe
tite was better ; I was able to sit up In bed,
I wrote to the World's Dispensary Medical
Association, at Buffalo, N. V.. and described
my case ; they sent me a book on woman's
diseases. I read carefully and followed the
directions as near as I could and took tha
medicine for two years. With the blessing
of Ood and your medicines, 1 am entirely
cured. That was tiu-ee years ago."
