is the aim at the present day in breed
ing all classes of stock. To feed profit

"A correspondent in the Country
Gentleman advocates live fence-posts
in sections where wire is used for in
closures. The method advised is to set
either willow OR cottonwood cuttings
on the line where the fence is to remain
permanently soon after the wire fence
is first made. I'm five years these cut
tings will be thrifty trees, averaging
five inches through at the bottom, be-
fore the old posts decay. The wire can
then be stapled to the living posts, the
tops cut oil five or six feet high, leav-
ing a few small growing branches to
keep them alive and growing"
