UnruIy Animals.

DeneVe as general rule our domestic
animals are never unruly except as they
are taught by their owners or those hav-
ing the charge of them. Some persons
when removing stock from one field to
another will let down few of the top
bars; or If they don't happe to have
bars or a gate just where they wish to turn
through they will throw off few of the
top rails and force the animals to jump
the balance and after thus driving the
STOCK over, they will put up part of the
ba or rails thus thrown down, leaving the
fence lower in that place than any other,
as temptation to the stock to Jump back
at Replace where they have been learned
to go over
My practice is the reverse of all this, if
L wish to turn hogs, sheep or calves through
common rail fence, make what is termed
slip gap, letting down just enough of the
bottom rails to let the animals pass, thus
teaching them to go under rather than
over the fence |; and in letting large cattle
through bars, [ prefer to have bar at the
top letting them pass under, and if it rubs
their backs a little, all the better. But
there is another fault too common with
some farmers. If fences are poor in conse-
quence Ofscarcity of material, they should
be more carefully watched /; if rail gets
thrown off put it on immediately. II
weeds, grass or anything else grows near
the fence, on the opposite side from where
your stock run, tempting them to reach
over and by this means push the Tense
down, remove the difficulty Immediately
out of the way.
/ am well satisfied that with proper care
there is no necessity of having unruly
stock, even with poor fences. Give them
plenty of food and water, keep them com
Portable and they will not be unruly unless
you teach them. L have raised several
bulls within the last few years, some five
or six of which have sold none of them
have to my knowledge everjumped a fence
| One ofthem, now fouryears old last spring
| is owned by man whose fences are poor
| although bull owned by near neighbol
of his, two years younger, is in the habit
of jumping any fence that comes in hi:
way in the neighborhood- in or ou
of the field where this bull was at thai
| time-he still maintains his orderly char

pared for destruction, but the time had
not arrived, as the fire was several
blocks away. But, notwithstanding this
TACT the match was applied, and the work
men were obliged TO fly for their lives. In
their flight the man who had fired the mine
was oyerthrown and badly injured, and as
the hre advanced he fell a victim TO its
fury.
Thus ended the work of the incendiaries
OF the SOcietie International. The elements
completed the destruction, and the loveliest
portion Of Chicago is now
WASTE, DREAR RUIN,
habltable only by ghouls and the i'll omened
birds of the night. The results are more
than had been anticipated, but are vet not
satisfactory. Many buildings that had been
doomed by the lnternationals escaped the
fiery ordeal, while large tract it had been
determined to spare is now a ruin.
RETRIBUTIoN
is not long in following the perpetrators of
great crimes. Two of the original founders
of the organization in Chicago met death in
the terrible cOnfagratiOn they had instiga-
ted, and L alone am spared TO suffer worse
than thousand deaths from the stings of
conscience. Seven of the men delegated
to assist the fire in its progress also perished
miserably in the he'll they had conjured up,
while two others are probably manned for
life
As for myself, | have little hope of es-
Gaping the vengeance of the InternatiOnalS.
THE OATH
10 which | subscribed carries with il the
penalty of death in a form more horrible
than any that has been visited upon mortal
since the sun first rose over chaos. The
organization is omnipresent, permeating
every circle Of society, each member being
bound TO mete out the penalty of the oath
to any one who may divulge its secrets.
This, its greatest of secrets, has
been written under the load Of a
guilty conscience. Life has lost all its
attractions for me, and / scarcely care to
live, save 10 see the damage caused partly
through my instrumentality repaired. But
if it shall appear that | cannot escape from
those who have already involved me in so
much misery, | will vet not die at their
hands, but will prefer to lie in accursed
ground.
p. S.-Let me add one word of warning.
Other cities, both in this country and Eu-
rope, have been threatened with fire. The
SOciete InternatiOnale is implacable.
