The brace D, remember; must not be. butted up against anything solid—it is free to slide—except as re Strained by the wires atC. This wiring atCmust be strong and thorough. The puli of the fence wires is transferred through the ,brace D to the bottom of thepost through the strands C, I p,m not competent to calculate the strain onthe wires at C, but I judge it to be over 50 per cent, of the total strain ex erted by the; main fence, wires. . How- aver, wire is cheap, and a number of strands can be put. around and twisted npih a very few minutes. I f your post has been leaned back a little when the bracing was done, the puli of the fence will bring it straight, snd.no,power, applied in a forward di­ rection can uproot it unless something breaks.

Maj, Howard Swineford read a paper on this subject at a southern institute. Among other things lie said as regards green- manuring; The practice of grow­ ing crops for .the purpose o f .plowing them under to fertilize the soul is one that, in my opiuion, has a much great­ er advantage than any other, and there Is no better way of cheaply improving it than this. To procure a sufficient supply of manure is, at the best, m vofy costly process; hut a crop that can he easily grown in a few months, and then turned* under, hiay furpisli to the soil as much fertilizing matter us eight or ten tons of mnnur# per acre, and this process may be repeated several times in one yeav. Munurlug with green crops is not only the most eco­ nomical, but, to most lands, one of the surest.and mosttspepdy means ' of im­ proving ’ tlio "texture and” fertilizing properties of the soil. Besides furnish­ ing plant food, the soil is . made more mellow and better fitted for producing other crops.. Of various crops used for this purpose, we place at the head.of the list red clover apd cow pea; tlio for** nier for general use? and the latter as besfc>suited to tbis^ocality. Among' the numerous other drops used for this pnrpdse .are buckwheat, rye, oats, corn and millet. Hon. George Geddes, well known throughout the United States as a practical and scientific farmer, says of the clover: “ If our soils require; improving, we turn the clover crop under and repeat the oper­ ation until there is sufiicient fertility to allow uus to carry the clover off. The oftencr we can fill the soil with roots, and then plow them under, and thus allow them to rot, the sooner do we expect to get our land in condition to ban* a crap of grain. A very eon siderable part of the cultivated land in central and _ western New York has never had any other manuring than this clover and gypsum, and its fertil­ ity is not diminishing.” He states that he had. a field which for seventy- four years had been manured with nothing except clover grown upon it and plowed in, nncl that this field had produced wheat, corn, oats, barley and grass. >The clover thus used-had, for fifty years, been regularly treated with gypsum, and the land was constantly increasing in fertility. BETTER THAN TAGS. <vsystem of Enr-Mnrklnx That 11 ns (liven General Hatlafaetlon. . * A system of -ear-marking \\; >h is much better than tags consists essen­ tially of tattooing a number inside tlio ear by means of an instrument pro­ vided for the purpose. This would be effective In the care o f sheep, but not so good for cattle. The implement, however, is expensive, and the application some trouble. A con­ siderable number of red polled cattle breeders in England ami this country are using aBystem, equally effective for sheep, which it seems to me is simpler, and for cattle;- at least, much better. It consists merely of a system of notches iu the ear by which you can make any number you like from one up into the thousands. Any punch will answer that makes a notch or hole .large enough to see or feel distinctly,. It may* be round, square or triangular, but the punch cutting a round hole is much the cheapest The punch used for putting in tags answers the pur­ pose. ■■" I tio dpt know who is the author of .ths'syltem,. but 1 presume there is no patent on it. - Assuming the animal to be looking toward you the notches with their values are as follows: Wide Awake for October Has a pleasure in store for all yonng lovers of English literature in the form of a narrative by Miss 0, H.
