Mr.. Morgan's head swim; but he may thank
his stellar influences that he is safe within

Brilliant Success.

1t Is permitted to few men or companies
TO achieve acknowledged superiority in
any important position or business, The
present generation has witnessed stupen.
dous rivalry in several branches of indus
try, and notably the Sewing Machine
business. Amid multitude Of compel
itors, steadily and surely the Wheeler q
Wilson Company held their way from the
beginning, upon fixed and honorable
principles. Long since their leading
position in America was established.
Abroad, at London, in 1862, they won the
highest premiums; at Paris, in 1867, they
distanced eighty-two competitors, and
were awarded the highest premium, the
only Gold Medal for Sewing Machines
exhibited; and lastly, amid unparalleled
competition, followed the splendid tri-
umphs at Vienna, noted in our advertis-
ing columns.

Too Many Fences.

1t is too liable to be the case that farm
ers keep up certain field fences because
they were originally built where now
standing, or were in that position when
the farm was purchased. 1t often proves
very profitable to study the matter over
and lay out new plans for fields, lanes, etc.
We have seen farms so badly planned that
by removing at least one-third of the fence
material, and re-arranging the fields, the
premises would be greatly improved IN
convenience and profit. The
study should be to have just as few fences
rs the best planning will admit of, and
have those fences as good as they can well
be made. We do not mean by this to
have plough and meadow land all in one
field and the pasture all in another, but to
so arrange the fence as not to have half 4
dozen different meadows, as many plough
fields etc, all on one farm of a hundred
acres 1t is often the case that by moving
a barn to new position. one-half of the
lane fence may be removed. and the build
ing be in u more convenient situation than
before. We only throw out these sugges-
tions to put farmers to thinking, and each
one can look over his own premises and
see what is needed in his own special sit
uation.-Ohio Farmer.
