TARRING FENCES. It is not, perhaps, generally known, that by mixing a small quantity of benzine with the tar, when about to nse it, that it liquifies and becomes as easily used as thin paint. It ia necessary in tho mixing of tar and beDzine to take more care in warming it, as the slightest contact with flame will cause the benzine to blaze, and hence, for that pur pose, a charcoal fire wil I.be best where prac ticable. BeyoodUbe saving in material, which as gaa tar is not ao very dear, may not be ma terial, and the saving in labor, it beiDg much more eas>ly applied than raw tar—the ap pearance of tha work after completion is Astonishing to those who have not witnessed it. Tar as prepared and applied makes the wood more like Japanned ware, than any thing else we can compare it to— Gardners' Monthly. We hope the benzine possesses the great principle of preserving the wood, and thus protects it against the effects of the gas tar, which tends rapidly to destroy it. — Ex. CORN AND Hoes.—The New York lode pendent says, from carefully conducted ex periments by different persons, it has been ascertained that one bushel of corn will make a little over 10$ pounds of pork—gross. Tak ing this result as a basis, the following de ductions are made which all our farmers wo'd do well to lay by for a convenient reference -—that: When corn sells for 12$ cents per bushel, pork costs 1$ cents per pound. When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork costs 2 cents per pound. When corn costs 25 cents per bushel, pork costs 3 cents per pound. When corn costs 36 cents per bushel, pork casts 4 cents pei pound. When corn costs 50 cents per bushel, pork costs 5 cents per pound. KEEPING UP THE Cows.—Caiman's Rural "World gives sundry reasons why stock,espe cially that of the dairy character, should be well fed and cared for during the autumnal months. It is sufficient to say that good care and liberal feeding at this season fit cows to •Dcounter the rigors of winter successfully, but more especially do they conduce to a liberal and rich flow of milk, thus improving the character and increasing the quantity of the butter product. A free use of pumpkins and roots, with their tops, and an occasional mash treat, will amply repay the cost of the articles and richly remunerate the fanner for hia trouble in supplying them. Autumn being emphatically the butter season, rnilch cows then, if ever, deserve extra care and consideration. PUSH THE IIOGS.—This is tbo best month in the year to push the hogs forward. The weather is cool, feed of all kinds, especially corn, ready for use. Swine intended for slaughter this season should have all the food they will eat, and as often as they will , partake of it. Give them dry, clean pens, j and they will eat, sleep and grow fat with j greater celerity and at less expense than when ' exposed to storms, gorged one day to reple- | tion and put on short commons the next.— i Vegetables mixed with corn meal are very ' good as food for hogs ; but the most compact ' and valuable pork is made from pure corn; and pure water. Steady and full feeding, during the month of October, will so finish off a hog as to require little thereafter but the butcher and the packing barrel.— Rural New Yorker. A RECIPE WORTH I,ooo—The Ohio Cultivator says the following recipe is wotth a thousand dollars to every house keeper : "Take one pound of sal soda and half a pound of unalacked lime, put them in a gallon of water and boil twenty minutes ; let it stand j till cool, then drain off and put is a small jug or jar ; soak your dirty clothes over night, or until they ara wet through, then wrtDg them out and put on plenty of soap,and in one boil er of the clothes add one teacup full of wash ing fluid ; boil half an hour briskly, then wash them thoroughly with one suds, rinse, and yonr old clothes will look better than by ! the old way of washing twice beforo boiling. This is an invaluable recip?, and we want ev ery poor tired woman to try it. We think that with a patient wash tub to do the little rubbing, a woman might take the old Bible and compose herself on a lounge and let the washing do itself." TEMPER IN TREATING STOCK.—Tho farmers stock around him partake more or less of the quality of the owner of those who attend up- ! on it. A man's influence is imparted to his ! beasts, particularly the horses, the working cattle,and the milch cows. A man of irr&Bci b[e temper gets up nervousness in a horse or a cow. The brute becomes afraid of him ; and,if of a vicious nature is apt to be hurt ful, spitefully influenced, perhaps irreclaim ably spoiled—whereas a mild-tempered, dis criminative man will gradually smooth down the asperities of a harsh disposition. We have known milch cows, wild as a deer, bro't to a placid tractability. The man is a supe rior, and hia superior influence will be corns municated. Wise stock men keep fools and irritants out of their stock yards.—Rural World. CORN MEAL ROLLS.—A correspondent of the Western Rural contributes the following racipe : "Make a kettle of corn meal mush.— To two quarts of the mush add a teacup of unmelted lard and a table epcon of salt, and when sufficiently cool, a cup of yeast:— Knead in flour until it ia about the same as any other bread, and let it rise over night— In the morning roll out and bake in a moder ate oven." fJlistfllanMUS.
