CHEAP AND EFFICIENT FENCE

The rapid introduction of barbed wire
for fencing sufficiently indicates its Elf
cheney But serious objection exists
when it is used alone. Being invisible to
animals at a distance, they have some
| times dashed hastily against it and had
their flesh badly torn by the sharp barbs.
This objection does not exist when any
straight fence already constructed, is
strengthened by stretching the barbed
wire along the top rail We have found
a common board fence thus armed, per-
fectly secure against unruly horses which
had torn through anything We could pre-
viously erect. 4 barbed wire stretched
lengthwise in the centre of a partial hedge
will render 1t good barrier.
There are two ways i'll which a barbeI
wire fence may he made and rendered un-
Objectionable, when there are no fences
or hedges 10 prevent animals from run
nlng against 1t. One is to make an en-
bankment with ditch on each side, which
will arrest the progress of animals run
ming towards it The embankment
should he twenty inches high, and the
bitches ample. With such bank, two
wires with posts a rod apart will be suffi-
cient where the smaller animals are not
kept. One additional wire will do for
these. Another mode, and possessing
some special advantages, is to place a line
of stones along where the fence is to
stand these are drawn off the adjacent
fields. In large portions OF the country,
there are about enough small scattered
stones for this purpose, and the fields
would be improved by their removal.
The line Of stones may be about four feet
wide and two feet high, or larger if stones
are abundant No skill is required for
laying them, as i'll case of stone walls,
but they are thrown in a loose, regular
and even pile. Animals especially dislike
to set their feet ON such stones, and they
will avoid touching the barbed wires over
them. Posts set So as to stand III the
centre Of the line of stones will hold the
wires and the whole will make all efficient
barrier.
The expense of either of these fences
will he small. The line of posts being
first set, the earth on each side is plowed
and thrown up into bank by hand. The
protection of the bank will render much
previous depth of setting the posts un-
necessary, which is also lessened by the
light character Of the wire. When stones
are employed these may be estimated To
cost nothing, as their removal benefits
the land. The best barbed wire costsless
than l5 cents a rod, or only 45 cents when
three are used. The posts are fewer than
III other fences. On the whole, either OF
these fences need not cost much over half
as much as good board fences. Couit,.U

The Oxford Idaho Enterprise the

ney for the southern district of Idaho,
returned from a professional and pleasure
trip to Soda Springs and Bear Lake in
the latter part of last week, and the En-
fory,.isr paid Its respects to Mrs. Craw-
ford and the Judge, and, while chit-chat-
ing with them, gathered up the fragments
uf several items of interest to our read
eTs.
"But,' SAID the Judge, producing
some specimens Of natural incrustations,
when YOU go to Bear Lake you want to
visit Swan Lake, which is about ten
miles south Of Soda Springs, on the Paris
road You can see sights there more
wonderful than at any other place on
earth Yosemite Is nowhere in compari-
son There is lake ON the top of a
mountain covering about one acre of
ground, with a rim around it like china

centre inside. Bend over the rim of this
lake and look down into its clear, cavern
Gus depths and YOU will notice full grown
trees-bodv, branches and all-in perfect
symmetry and entirely petrified or en-
crusted with a substance which without
a closer analysis We should pronounce

The Congressional labor committee seems
to have Jared much as did that prehistoric
king of France who with twice ten thousand
men marched up hill and then marched down
again. The committee is headed by one OF
the most blatant demagogues now in public
life-IIendrick B. Wright of Pennsylvania
but even his eyes We're unable TO discover
the grindstone on which he claims the
laboring mans nose is bcins ground. 1t is
announced by a gentleman who accompanied
the committee in their percsrinations
through the country that the depression of
labor and business, into the cause and the
remedies for which the committee was to in
quire, were not very perceptihle anywhere
on the route, and the farther West the conf
mittee travelled the more difficult it became
to discover any traces of such depression.
At Chicago there were communists, social
unfortunate real estate speculators who had
their various opinions on the way to improve
society and To- bring about the millennium of
the working classes, but their views, il they
ever make part of the committees report,
will not add much To the stock of the worlds
wisdom and on the whole the principal
thing achieved by the committee appears To
have been Il pleasant trip 10 Chicago, Salt
Lake City and San Francisco at the public
expense
