Farm Fences.

It is claimed by theorists, and also by
some practical farmers, that fencing
to inclose cattle is useless expense,
made necessary only by the costly
system of pasturage. That so;ling or
the keeping OF stock in the stable or
yard the year round may be profitable
nder some circumstances is not
denied, but that it can be adopted in
gene al practice in our country, at least
in the Eastern States. is not to be ex-
pec.ed. tor CIV farms are in whole ara
bic. ada ted to plow and to moving;
hence. fences are necessity and the
question is, what style is most desira-

On many farms stones must be re-

more expensive than the material and

Why Not {!

A tired mother. who had been &C.
cupied all day with an active and very
troublesome oy, as she sat down in the
evening and thought of the numberless
details into which her strength had
gone, sad: after all, it is day
toward the making of a man. There
was a world of truth in this brief and
pointed summing up of days work.
Nothing is so hard to overcome as the
illusion of time and distance; thousands
of lives are wasted because they are
never freed from it, and thousands of
other and faithful yes are sad
dened because thev, too. are under its
spell. The woman under the pressure
of daily and nightly cares who feels no
inspiration from them, but continually
dreams of greater services and nobler
occupations in some other pla and at
some other time, is surely missing
the secret of the deepest liv-
ing. and is thirst ng with the
water of life flowing freshingly about
her. The man who chafes under his
present burden, and scorns his place
and work as small and mean compared
with the thing he would do. is evey day
widening the breach between his ideal
and his possible achievement. The
masters of life-women of rich.

and graces with the years, men full of

to great achievements lies through the
faithful doing OF the thing that lies ne 1t

who are full of this spirit expand their

danger of their getting through into

Jump wood fence of the same height
W II keep clear of stone wall.
To construct a good stone fence the
surface should be taken Off to the de til
OF six inches or more according to soil.
This can be done with pillow and scraper
at small expense. and the earth t.ken
out should be banked up to the wall
after it is built. The 70 ndation should
be about three feet broad and the wall
ia cred up on each side equally to one
foot on top, to be capped by one stone.
When the stones are small. as is usual
with field one. three or four courses
of fiat sticks should be laid across to
hold it from falling down by the action
of frost on the foundation. For this
purpose cedar timber is best. but any
timber that splits freely will do, and
even old slaves and refuse boards are
often used. Where field or quarry
stone are not found on the farm for
fencing, either wood or iron must be
used.
The best wood fence is the old Vir-
ginia ''worm," both as to du ability
and cheapness, where timber is plenty
and suitable. ANY lasting timber, such
as cedar, chestnut, white oak or black
ash, makes good rails for wood fence.
and when properly laid. with stakes and
WIRE support. makes We y eficie1t
and lasting fence against all domestic
animals. The oh ection that it occupies
too much space is true where land ;s
used for cultivation exclusively. but n It
when used for pasturage. The co-.sc.:s
are quite liable to become filed with.
briers and foul weeds. but the thorough
farmer will lind time to destroy all such
unsightly and wasteful g Owth.
The common post and board fence
has at least the merit o. neatness when
new and in pc tect repair. but it is the
most expensive fence the farmer builds
conside ing its lacks OF durability
from ten 10 fifteen year eng about he
lifetime of such st uctures. On moist
soils the posts will be Lifted by frosts
rom year to yea till the fence will
stand on legs and be twisted by the
winds, the boards torn off, and other
wise Iii figured. Other styles of board
fence are const ucted either in panels
TO movable purposes. or stayed on the
surface by di erent devices. but none
of them have come into common use
ON the farm. Barbed wire will be but
little used when other m terial is con-
We lent. On the western prairie for
fencing against Gait only, it has con-
siderable merit.-CUr N. y Tribune.

Sheep and Wool Growing.

In the United States the history OF
sheep hus' an nv has been marked by
movements so pecul ar as to warrant the
term manias" in des riding them. At
times there has been shown a strong de-
sire to engage largely in sheep farming.
and most every farm had then its
flock: at other times an equally strong
determ nation has been shown by thou
sands to get rid of all their sheep at any
pr ce, or almost at no price. These
NOV ments haze not always been i'm
mediately preceded by marked ri in
the price OF wool. nor has this desire to
increase or to diminish the number of
sheep been in direct relation to an adj
vance in the value of their tleeces at the
moment.
In the year 1878 the advantages Of
fered to sheep h sbandry by the newer
States and Terri cries attracted the at
tenticn capitalists and others. and by
the middle OF the year 1881 many thou
sands of sheep were ranging where but
very few years before ne were to be
found. Yet in 1873 medium wool sold
for some cents per pound more than in
1881. In 1eSO wool from Kansas and
Nebraska sold or prices ranging from
sixteen to twenty-six cents, yet there
was a steady and rapid growth in the
interest taken in ep-farming. and a
large increase in the number OF sheep
tax from the Eastern and Middle
States for the purpose of starting ranches
in the West.
With diversity of SOL, forage and
climate especially favorable to WOO
growing. that industry has received in
orth America far less attention than
might have protitably been given to it.
The were consumed in the United
States between the years 1861 and 1879
a total of ), b24,7 rs 900 pounds of wool.
OF this quantity 1864 $500 pounds, the
custom house valuation of which was
$165 1880, were imported. As the
value of goods impo ted or ported
greatly underestimate in returns made
by the revenue department, the above
figures may be safely doubled to get at
the cal market value of the wool i'm
pc ted. This wo I'D give flu ~ $751;
100000 as the sum paid in the seven
teen years to Other countries for wool
which m ght have been grown at home.
AS an item of passing interest in this
connection it may be stated that in the
year 1872 the value of imports of wool
was placed by the Treas ry Depart
ment at >2i,2l4, 1875. the quantity i'm
porte having been 122, 256, 500 pc nds.
The civil war of 1876 compelled the
Peep of the United States to buy
largely and at high p ices the products
of the loom, and the supply of cotton
being C t OH in a great measure,
caused 'arger demand for wooe s.

The End Of an Oil Region Desperate

1ue Flu VI XII VII htSIOu DeSpeTduOs
The terror of the oil regions is dead.
His name was George Coyle. For years
he had been one of the most noted
desperadoes of the oil country. livery
body knew him or knew of him. He
had been in many struggle, and more
than once received Injuries which
would have killed ordinary men. tut
Coyle was giant of strength. and re-
volvers and other deadly weapons had
no terrors for him. He was always to
be found in the frontier towns, where
lawlessness runs riot. with no legal
hand to stop it. In 8 CHI places he could
do as he pleased. He was afraid of no
one, delighted in fierce struggles. and
was the hero of many a hard fought
fight. Every one supposed that his
death would be violent one. But this
was not to be.
Forest City. where Coyle met his
death, is the name of new ltown.
No officer of the law bothers Forest
ity. There is no local government.
1t is simply wild, oilcoun'ry village.
One of the best-known characters of
70 est City bears the name of Bill
Green. He lives in a tent and runs
bar. On Saturday night one week ago
a rough entered the tent and dem. nded
liquor. He was refused. The rough
Immediately hunted up Coyle, and the
pair started for the tent with the in'en-
ton of tearing it out. But they didn
succeed The proprietor whipped out
a revolver and began to shoot. The
bullets VIII zzed by harmless until
nally leaden pellet struck Coyle in
the ankle. It was a pain ul wound. but
not at all dangerous. This ended the
shooting. Coyle limped away, and
nothing more was heard of tearing out
the tent that night. There was not a
physician in the place. Messages were
sent round to d nerent oil towns, but
none seemed to care to come to the re-
l;ef of the deSperado, unit last DIR.
the wounded man.
The next day was Sunday. About
one O clock in the afternoon Coyle hob
bled out from hi, lodgings. He en-
tered Boyle's eating house assisted by
a roughly-cOnstrucied crutch. and asked
the proprietor for some letter paper.
Then he proceeded to address letter to
his mother. In it he stated that he had
been painfully wounded in a manner
which he thought would cau>e his death.
ne said to his mother that he was about
to undergo an operation which he
thought would cost his life and that
probably before the letter rea he'd her
he would be dead. He was periectlt
cool and collected and showed no sign
what ever OF fear Before he had fin
!shed his letter DIR. Pryor came in. The
desperate turned from his writing to
meet his death. The doctor looked at
the wounded ankle and wanted to probe
for the ball
"Can you give me chloroform?"
asked Coye.
The doctor said he could, but hardly
thought it was necessary. Coyle in
sisted. He didn't want to bear the pain
of the probe.
Have OH ever been troub ed with
heart-disease?' asked the doctor.
No said Coye. and the doctor
hesitated no longer. He had only in
hailed breath or more of chloroform
when he showed Signs of dying. He
gave gasp or two and closed his eyes
in death. Efforts were made to restore
MIN, but they were OF no avail. The
desperate was dead. = Philadelphia
