The ends are wired to the poste. For 'fencing against sheep, three poles will be required and plaoed closer to the ground. The only trouble with this fence is that it may prove so good and servioeahle that it will often be /eft us a permanent structure, and it pro- per fence not bo built, False Supports For Beams And Sills. Frequently in erecting farm buildings,' the posts are of such slender dimensions hot the owner and carpenters do not care to cut a shoulder in them for the support •of the ends of beams, sills or girth,. In uch oases thee° important parts of the structure are left with only such support as is afforded by the strength of the tender, whielt is usually ant away to lase than one- third the breaking etrength of the stick of timber. By listing in a piece of plank or scantling etweeu the lower side of the MAN 1'OR SUPronTiNC nIOAM. beam or sill and the upper side of the lower partlou of the brace, as shown at a, it, in the illustration, and nailing thorn to the part c, the building will be quite as strong and firm as if the post had been two inches greater in diameter. This improvement may be added at any time at very little labor and expense. The Shrinkage of Butter. The shrinkage of butter from the_time it is packed until it is sold by the commission men causee a great deal of trouble, both to the shipper and the receiver. To the ship- per because in moat cases the butter is not weighed in the tubs and he bills it sixty pounds net to_the dealer. When he receives his returns and it only meta him 58 to 54 pounds to the tub, he thinks there is something wrong with the weights at be other end of the line. F. A. Leighton in Creamery Journal says that during the month of June he had a chance to find out just exactly how much shrinkage there •would be in a tub of but- ter. The reanitswere obtained from fifty tubs, part of it being kept in the refrigera- tor for two weeks. The dry tube were all weighed and averaged seven pounds each ; they were then soaked eighteen hours and weighed again before the butter was peek- ed; the average ack.ed;'theaverage weight of the soaked tubs was eight and a halt pounds ; the butter was churned at a temperature of 50 to 54 degrees, and Dame out of the churn free from moisture; it was then salted and Worked as dry as possible with one work- ing. Tho butter being analyzed was found to contain from 83 to 85 per cent. tat, the but- ter wee packed firm and solid and the tub weighed exactly to an ounce and the weight of the butter and tubs marked separately on the side of package. It was then misled up, the cover nailed on end set away, the butter rootu'betng kept at about 52 degrees. At the end of two weeks 20 tuba were ptulc- ed out, the cover and salt removed, the butter emptied on the scales and weighed and it was found that the butter had shrunk a trifle over one pound in each tub and the tuba had increased about that much in weight. Since then Mr. Leighton has tried differ- ent ways of preparing the tubs but in eaab Case as the package dried out it drained the moisture from the butter. 133 using the tin lined tubs this matter could be obviated but they do nob seem to be in favor with commission men. He has also used the paralilno wax but on account of the butter ablcking to the package it was not consider- ed an improvement. Home and Highway. In the efforts made by the farmers to make attractive their surroundings, the ornamentation of the highways should not be neglected. Roads ebould be construct- ed with the greatest posaght° smoothness. A side path for pedestrians should be add ed to all main highways, especially when they extend from one village to another. On 'one Bide of the Appian Way a well. graded path was constructed its entire length, shaded by well trimmed trots, on which the pedestrian, sickor poor, could travel undisturbed by the grinding wheels of the Roman chariots. If a well -graded, path was maintained on all our main highways, the oauso of humanity would be better subserved. - Attention should also be paid to the condition of the apace between the road and foneee. Nothing eau bo more charm. ing es ono rides through the country, than to see the brush along the roadsides cut and removed, trees well trimmed, stumps and stones excavated mod holes dug by tomo boorish tatltaator filled and graded by his snare thomughbfuienooessor, Suolt a condition would produoe a molt different aspect from that which we often behold where the highways become the dumping ground for all refuse of the farm and even of the !mime. Money event in beautifying our highways adds molt to the value of rho property adjacent thot'to, The condition of . the highway hue ire ail'eot upon the desirability of to farm as a plane of t'oeidauoe, Ptlnlpkins For Milch Caws, Pumpkins are excellent food for miloh own if not fed too lavishly. They make the very lineal) flavored inilir and butter. They are about 90 per oat. water, and When enough are fed to supply the cow with what water she would naturally need then the limit of profitable feeding Is reach. ed. They oomettmee do degrease the flow of milk, but this can always be attributed: to feeding to ninth, oe the cowe eating too lnaay seeds. Ib is better to remove the node. It will be noticed that when pumpkins are thrown out in the field to a lot of °owe, some particular cow will make a business of golug around and getting all the seeds she can. That oow "pumpkins will dry up." WORTHY OF LOVE. Lori Clyde Was Simply a Wave. Patient Unselfish span. Lord Clyde, who didsplendid surto for England during the early Indian campaigns, was the eon of a poor Glasgow oarpenter, and attained his high position, after he ro- eived his fireb commission, neither by genius nor by the accidents of fortune, Ho was simply s -brave, patient, unselfish man, devoted to his duty ; and therefore it was thathis soldiers loved him, and his country rewarded his faithful service. Although he was stern in rebuke when there was o0 caslon for it, hie gentleness to his men won their lasting lave, During one engagement a regiment, con- trary to orders, made a dash at a tollhouse occupied by the enemy, and captured it. Justly indignant at this breach of discipline, Lord Clyde rode up to the regiment, which was largely composed of Irishmen, in order to reprimand it. • At each attempt to speak, however, his voice was drowned by the command, " Three cheers for tba commander-in-chief, boys 1" and the .answering cry ; and he found it literally impossible to gain shear. ing. His stern countenance gradually relaxed, and at length he turned away with a laugh. Hie personal courage was beyond re- proaoh,but at the siege of Lucknow he displayed an involuntary nervousness at which he was instantly irritated. A heavy fire was going on, and he was meanwhile talking to a young officer, from whose mother he had that morning received a letter. A shot whizzed by ; the ensign dodged, and involuntarily Lord Clyde did the same. The next moment he assailed the unlucky lad in the most furious manner, deolaring that this unfortunate example had caused him to do a thing he had never done be. fore, and of which he was deeply ashamed. He ordered bhe ensign never again to duck ata shot, and then -invited him to. dinner. One cause of his popularity was his facul- ty for remembering names and faces. One day, while he was inspectingsome troops in England, an old man is plain clothes,. came up to him, and said : "Sir Colin, may i speak to you? Look at me, sir. Do you remember me 2" "Yee, I do," was the immediate answer. "What is my name 2" Lord Clyde told him. "Yes, sir. And where did you last see me 1" "In the breaoh of St. Sebastian, badly wounded, by my side." "Right, sir 2" "I can tell you more. You were No. - in the front rank of my company." No wonder the old man was overjoyed to see a oontmauder who had so faithfully kept him in mind. Although this good soldier had a hasty temper, he was never known to fait even momentarily in thoughtfulness for the weak or weary. One night when he bad dislo cared his shoulder, he had thrown himself on a crazy bedstead, brought to the camp. fire to feed the flames. He rose for a mo- ment to give some order as to the dioposi. tion of troops, and a tired 13el000hse threw himself at full length on the bedstead. Ho was speedily jerked off by one of his oom- radea, who said : "Don't you see, you fool, that you're on the Lord Sahib'e ;charyoy 2" "Let hien lie there," said Lord Clyde, quietly. "Don't interfere with his rest." And he took his own seat on a billet of wood. FOR LOVELY WOMEN. Famous Men Who 1l'orent",ek Full or Love 'rued lost Good Judgment for Women. A large number of the world's eminent men have made fools of themselves for love at women. Holofernes lost his herd -in two senses -by aocepting the caresses of Judith. Antony was a lunatic to have sacrificed everything to his love of the charming Cleopatra. Paris, son of Priam ought to have been put in a strait-jaoket for having tampered with the matrimonal preserves of Menelaus, the result of which poaching on his part caused the spilling of oceans of human blood as well as the de. atruotion of Troy. ' Petraroh spent hie crazy life .penning sonnets to the eyebrows of a portly mar- ried Woman, the mother of a large family, while he utterly nogleoted his legitimate wife and world not permit kis daughter to live under his roof. Dante, in his maudlin love of Beatrice sive i "So powerful was the spell of her presence that 1 had to ovoid her. From thinking of this most gracious creature I became so weak and lean that it ,was 'irk- some for my friends to look at me." Love found rowdy victims in the knights and troubadours of the middle ages. Ul4oh von Lichtenstein, a ntodisoval- German cavalier, loved a woman with all the ie. tensity of a lunatic. IIe used to .roam over hills and valleye fit quest of other knights, whom he ohalletlged to dnale if they dared to doubt that his Detainee was the fairest of the fair. On one oocastae he amputated one of his lingers and pre - anted it to his 'patroness as a proof of the torture he could endure for her street saki). And meanwhile his wife pined: alone in her oluotoau in the forest. THE WEEK'S NEWS cANAPA.' There 15 geed sleighing itt Winnipeg.
