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."
