BIG CONVENTIONâ€"The Hamilton " ‘Times of the 11th inst. contains a long account of the convention in that city eon the two previous days of the Frost Wire Fence Co’s numerous agents, among whom was Mr. Elisha Mark, their popular representative for this“ :section. The first day was spent in the reception of the agents and theirinspec Etion of the big works, and the second in a general business meeting, followed by .a banquet in the evening. On the 11th the company treated its agents to a trip to Niagara Falls. 'Mr. Mark reports a good time, and in speaking of the vol- ume of the company’s business, says that an idea of it may be had from the fact that they have just laid in a stock, of 1700 tons of wire. .,.â€"__â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€""â€"‘-' Boy Wanted.

ESolving the Problem of Shade, Wind and Hawk Coverâ€"The Elaeagnus Parviflora. It has long been conceded that poul- ‘vtry yards should be at least partially planted with trees or shrubs to furnish :sliade and shelter during hot or stormy weather. Plum trees have been much used for this purpose with excellent results. But the coming of San Jose scale and The great susceptibility of all .plum varieties to this miserable past have changed the situation. Kieirer pears are being planted for poultry shelter to some extent as more resistant to scale, but the trees are in- clined to overhear and break down in such stimulating situations unless the ruurrs or uninsoxns PARYIFLORA. fruits are very carefully thinned and are usually upright in growth to cast good shade. As our plum trees die out from our poultry runs we hope to plant clumps of privet and silres thorn, Bluenxgnus pnrriilora, a fruiting branch nt‘ which is shown in the cut. Several species of elaeagnus are referred to as silver thorn, but the name is most commonly applied to E. which forms a dense, compact shrub eight to ten feet high as grown in this ; country. It blooms profusely in May, and the pink mottled cherry like fruits ripen early in September. This elate- a-i'nus makes a dense shade, is fairly lti‘wdy and appears quite free from mi ' pests and other diseases. t The berries are too dry to be palata- .0. cl to humans, like those of_E. lo‘n: 91!}15. but are greatly upprecmtcd .Jy birickcns. which claniber all Over the . idraintiles Farm, Field parviflora, V ‘ whatever.

It is not to be supposed that the berries contain much nutriment, but they are certainly more eagerly sought by fowls on_ the rural grounds than any other. fruit of y the season. The crop of berries is so , regular and abundant that a small : clump of bushes in an ordinary poultry run would give a substantial addition to the season’s diet. We have not no- ticed bad effects from the eating or alaeag'nus fruits. On the contrary, the fowls appear particulary lively at this , season. The silver thorn might be planted in clumps four feet or more apart and would soon afford protection from weather hawks and in a year or two , bear great crops of acceptable fruits. Plants two to three feet high are of- fered by nurserymcn at 35 cents each. This species transplants well and quickly becomes established. By planting in our poultry yards fruiting varieties of mulberry for tree shade and silver thorn for shrubby clumps the problem of shade, wmd pro- tection and hawk cover would be solv- ed.â€"W. V.

Concerning the utility of cement for E and Fireside has secured expressions of opinion from persons whose names insure the value of their statements, as follows: In regard to the porosity quesuon I would call your attention to the fact i that Dr. Chamberlain has shown quite conclusively that water does not pass through the walls of the draintiles, but that the entry is made through the joints. For this reason we have pur- chased for our tiling glazed tile when- ever possible, but you would see that the cement tile would answer admira- bly if made sufficiently strong. At our state fair this fall I saw some cement tile that seemed to be well adapted to the purposeâ€"Charles E. Thorne. Word has come to us lately that tile for culverts on highways are being made from cement, but I know of no instance where ordinary draintiles have' been made from this material. It makes no difference whether the tile is porous or not. Experiments made by King indicate that ordinary draintile lets in almost no water through its sides. The main inflow comes between the joints of the tile. This being true of the common clay burned, it is also true of the cement tile, but that is, in my mind, absolutely no objection make a cement tile as cheaply as com- mon tile can be bought. If they can that is a great step further for the farmersâ€"C. D. Smith.
