Telegrsphinf while the train waits -did
you ever try i:' Not Well, you've missed
something unique. 1 tried it once. woe-
fully, Geo, but let me tell the story.
The narrator mutineer his yarn as
foaows .
1 was riding on a train from A. to 1).
When 11. was reached it occurred to me to
examine any tome -table, end. behold the
trate was due at U. exactly on the_ uncut*
when the othcr to which 1 was ;soinwould
be closed for the day, sad the station • good
half mile away.
Telegraphing was my only recourse, but
bow' Well. 1 prepared my dispatch on a
bit of paper, reduoed it to the regulatioo
ten words and patiently awaited the arrival
at 1'., the List piece to stop, and I knew
there was a telegraph onion there.
The train was a little behind time, and 1
was correspondingly nervpus. No sooner
w.a tiuc train stopped than f sprang forward,
fairly bounding over the platform to where
1 apposed the telegraph ottiue was, but to
my surpr:re and chagrin the very spot where
I bad expected to deposit my dispatch prow
ed to be the express otiice. I was penpir-
tag. "ratifier end of station," shouted the
express boy to ley enquiry. 1 looked in that
direction. l -p to that moment I had had
coat rol of the situation, because 1 was ahead
of the train. Just one glance told me I
must now go far to the rear of the train
No time was to be lost. Away 1 went, cas-
ing anxious eyes to the rear car as 1 fairly
flew past it.
i approached the office window, clutching
my little telegram. 1 incontinently whistl-
ed the tint two bars of "You Know" just to
stir up the boy and let him know a custom-
er was approaching on the fly, as 11 were,
and ::•,rt of brace him up Well. 1 stood be-
fore the little window, and, sure's I'm bort,
there were two young women there, one of
them appeared to be in charge. and the
other the one who actually does the work of
standing betweca the company and the
outer world. The whistle above referred to
didn't strike the tympani of these two op-
erator plesantly. They both actually
frowned on me in silence. I felt myself
actually withering, but there I was • i must
ptrx.•ed.
1 'acting an affectionate glance, not at the
girls, but at the rear of the train some dis-
tance ahead to see that it was where I had
left it. I ventured to remark: "How much
tee words to 1)—'' At the same time 1
handed in my tittle message
It was receirsd in dignified sileuce, and
the counting process began one, two three,
etc. 1 felt as if ages were passing and de-
cades were like railroad telegraph poles.
How nervous I got and how the great heads
of perspiration joined forces and became ri-
vulets down my face and neck, but yet the
young woman slowly proceeded with the
b winces in hand, and calmly took my money
and calmly took my menage. What • relief
u 1 bounded for the rear car, but what if
the lady operators, whom 1 had offended by
that innocent whiside, should be reveugful
and delay my message'
1 was due in I. in twenty minutes. Oa
arrival, it was the work of only • minute
to take • cab and say "hurry up."
Thanks to these young women, they were
prompt, and I found the office open, tram -
acted my business.
Moral No. 1 Don't telegraph while the
train wait_ and expect the operator to be
overflowing with comfort.
Aboral No. 2 --Don't whistle "Yon Know"
as you approach a telegraph othx, whether
you are in • harry or otherwise.

feet long, one at each end, extending a
foot below the lower rail and a foot above
the upper. The rails project 4 inches
outside these posts, so as to make a
piece to fit into the notches of the sup -
porta
The braces are ? feet long, placed as
shown in the cut and bolted to the two
rails. Barbed wires ata stretched from
poet to poet and fastened also to the
braces. The supports are made of oak
scantlings 2 inches square. The legs are
41 feet long, bolted at the top and spread
to a width of 4 feet at the base. Tri-
angular notches are cut at the top just

large enough to admit the rail of the
panel, and similar notches are cut just
below in the board that bolds the bot-
tom of the supports. This fence is
strong and durable and is easy to make
and set tip.
In the second cut is shown a porta-
ble fence light to handle. and by remov-
ing the pole from the top and lifting the
books from the staple it may be closed
like a jackknife. 1t is the invention of
a Mississippi farmer, who says:
Several sections may be laid on a
stone boot or wagon and drawn where
wanted with very little trouble. The
legs should be of oak timber: the rails
of any stiff sort not liable to spring.
When set up, the barbed wires, being o0
one side only, may be set either side
toward the fields. 1f it is pastured by
horses, put the wired side ont, as they
cannot then get their feet entangled. If
fur other animals, either side will do.
1 have used it for three years and regard
it as cheap and durable. It answers a
good purpoee. Thanks are doe to The
Rural New Yorker for the foregoing
cuts and descriptions.
Production of ferrel.
Tho American Cultivator does not be-
lieve that the acid taste of the sorrel is
an indication of a sourness of the soil
that can be corrected by the use of lime,
gypsum or salt, though either of them
might assist in killing sorrel by promot-
ing the growth of other and ranker
growing crops that would smother it
out. This, in fact, is the best and surest
method we know for destroying sorrel
or that other pest that grows under
similar conditions, the whiteweed or
daisy. . Flow the ground when them
plants are about coming into blossom,
manure it liberally and sow or plant
with some crop that grows rapidly and
shades the ground.
Thus plowing in June and sowing
rutabagas or setting cabbages, giving
them gond cultivation until their leaves
were too large to admit of so doing, then
following with winter rye and again
that with clover, would probably pre-
vent any sorrel, daisy or ragweed from
getting poste cion if the land were made
rich and the seed were used freely
enough. so that the crop fnlly occupied
the ground. The same thing Might be
done with a four crop rotation of oats to
be cut green for early (odder, followed
by turnips, rye and clover. A sowing of
fodder conn in drills has also been very
anc'eeestal in producing the same result
when sown thickly and kept well culti-
vated.

Om Mao .e r.tty Ekes Variety
East tiesdso
Brsedars have dil3ere•t plass et sat-
ing this variety for best results. Rosa
advocate mating • standard colored f. -
male with a light male to produce Ught
females. The result of this mating 1.
stems good light females, all very
ualss and some very dark females. TIM
MUM breeder, to get his good eaekeruis,
mates his dark females to • very dark
standard male. As a result be gets some
good cuckerele--sume lighter and some
starker. The pullet, are nearly blank
and worthless. Following is what a
breeder writes on the subject in The Foal -
try Monthly:
"My plan bas limn, as a rule, to teats
a standard female and a male of as esus
the same shade as 1 can. The birrtnig
should be deep on the females, and in
the back should have from five to sew
ban on each feather. 1t is not expected
to be so good on the males: they usually
run lighter in undercolor. This mating,
if followed up fur a few seasons, will pro•
duce more good standard colored males
and females than any other plan of ntat-
ing, and the culls will be few and far
between.
"Of course if this plan as taken up
with stock that has been bred from ex-
treme mating.* time result will not be very
satisfactory the 6nit season, but if con-
tinued will soon begin to show up in
good shape. 11 one can get stock that
has been bred from the single meting, he
is on the short road to success, and it
will save him many a bird from going to
the block. It is surely mach more profit-
able to raise 80 good standard birds,
Beale and female, out of 100 hatched from
a standard 'listing that will sell from $3
to $6 each, than to raise 40 fine pullets
worth $Z each and then market 40 nearly
white cockerels ami 21) black pullets.
"With the o:her extreme mating 80
lr r cent of the femnlvs are too dark to
use as breeders, and 10 per cent of the
orales are so dark as to be slaty and not
saleable, and then one seldom gets that
°right blue tinged pinniago on males
from this cockerel ranting
"It will pay any one who has never
tried these standard matings to try
them and note the results. Give them
a good honest trial and do not content
yourself with a tingle year's breeding."
Cultivating . meed Garden.
The ideal condition with many per-
sons is to have the garden unfenced,
permitting approach from all aides with
horse and cultivator to assist in the cul-
tivation of the growing crops and in the
subduing of weeds. But a fenced gar-
den is sometimes male imperative by
circumstances over which the owner has
no control, the ''circumstances" being in
the nature of his neighbors' cows, pigs,
fowls or other animals that are liable on
occasions to be at large to the injury of
gardens and other cultivated places.
The owner's own animals, even when
excellent care is taken, may sometimes
escape from tueir allotted limits and in
an hour nearly ruin a garden.
For these and similar reasons many are
obliged to fence in their gardens and de-
prive themselves and the gardens also of

the great advantage of the fall and fre-
quent use of the cultivator. A plan
suggested in American Gardening is
given herewith by which a fenced gar-
den may be cultivated with a good deal
of ease and thoroughness. The ground
used should, if possible, be much longer
than wide, with everything planted in
rows and the rows running lengthwise.
The end fences are made np entirely
of gates, as shown in the diagram.
Thea being set wide open and the rows
having been arranged so that • row oc-
curs in exact line with each fence post
at the ends, opportunity is afforded to
cultivate every mw in the garden, and
that. trio, completely to the ends, with
no turning of the horse within the limits
of the garden. the advantages of which
are too apparent to need dwelling upon.

" It costs considerably more to run •

few days ago to a Herald reporter. •' A

puta0oa of being • bail fellow well met, but
oftentimes it has limo asserted the running
of a farm is still more costly. People as •
rule labor under the impression that the r.
turns more than offset the outlay. They
figure that the owner raises enough vege-
tables aal fruit to last from year to year,
and the tact that he can enjoy home-made
butter is something not to be disregarded in
summing up the profit end loss. Now,
