small percentage on the ave

less expensive to us than at

We have reached crisis in the his.

suit in a broad, honest, and unselfish
way. The time for making large profits
has passed. We have passed through a
period of great enthusiasm, and have
INDUCED in much that has been unwar-
ranted and injudicious. We have been
too selfish. As supply dealers and pub

far too anxious to present the bright
side of our calling. We have been ex-
trayagant in many Of our expenditures;
have performed an unnecessary amount
of manipulation. | anticipate change.
Too much effort has been made in the
direction of increasing the production,
rather than to create corresponding
demand. Home consumption should be
encouraged; a demand thus created
would measurably relieve the burdened

where their families will have the best
social and educational advantages.
These villages will be like the hub of a

take the farmer and his laborers to the
farm, and bring back the products to
market. The farms will be small, but
scientifically and Systematically worked.

BARRED WIRE.
How to Lessen the Damage Done by
Barbed-Vire Fencing.


Barbed-Wire Fencing.
Since the use of barbed- wire fencing
has come into vogue SO extensively.
complaints are heard on every hand of
the damage caused to animals thereby
Many valuable colts and horses have
been killed by running into the cruel
barbs, while the hides of cattle are so
scratched and torn that they are rem
dered almost valueless for leather-mak-
ing purposes. The cause of so much
damage is that at short distance the
wires are almost invisible, and in their
antics around the inclosure horses fire.
quently run at full speed against the
fence without being able to check their
Roadway in time to prevent being hurt
by contact with the barbs. So greatly
reason that the entire abandonment of
this style of fencing has been decided
upon in many cases, and board fences
have been substituted at large cost
The trouble may be obviated in e large
measure by substituting for the two top
wires of the fence boards either four or
six inches wide. BY this means the
stock will have no trouble in discerning
the whereabouts of the fence. and dam
ger from liberation by the barbs will
be almost entirely prevented, since it is
from the upper wires of the structure
that the most trouble is experienced.
The change may be made at very small
additional cost over the wire, especially
when the fence is so built in the
first place. Three wires and two
boards will be found to make a very
substantial and stock-proof fence, and
when four-inch lumber is used the cost
will not be excessive.-San Francisco

HARD ON NOSE.
a Commercial Transaction in Which Mr.
Sehaumhurg Is the Loser.

Commercial Transaction in Which Mr..
Sehaumburg Is the Loser.
Nose Schaumburg, of Austin, is up to
all the tricks of trade, and was in the
habit Of playing it pretty sharp, not
only on his customers but also on the
firm of Schwindelmeyer & Co., from
whom he purchases his goods in New
York.
Schaumburg, on receiving an invoice
of goods, was in the habit of deductin o
several yards from every piece of goods
he received. He claimed shortage on
every piece of goods, even when the
piece contained full measure or even 3
surplusage.
Schwindelmeyer s. Co., of New
York, suffered a great deal from this
system of stealing, but rather than lose
Schaumburg's trade they allowed him
the shortage, until it became such a
regular thing that they resolved to play
for even, even if they did lose his trade.
Schaumburg ordered a big bill of dry
goods. The New York firm cut each
and every piece of goods in two, kept
one-half, sent the bill for the full num-
Der of yards ordered, bat kept the goods
back
In due time Schaumburg received the
bill, and expecting the goods would ar
rive in a day or so, acknowledge the re-
eeipt OF the goods and sent on check
for the amount, deducting as usual
several yards shortage on each piece.
AS soon as the New York merchant got
this reply he shipped the goods and ad-
mltted the deduction for shortage as
just and proper.
Imagine the astonishment of Nose on
opening the goods to find that each
piece lacked half the number of yards
it should contain. AS he had already
claimed several yards shortage on each
piece and as the New York firm had
allowed it. the only thing for Nose to
do was to keep quiet about it.
1t is needless to add that he deals no
longer with Schwindelmever & Co.. of
Mex: York. -TeIas Siftiaqs.

Clarence Harris is a San Francisco

Joaquin County to visit rich farmers
daughter. The girl don't care straw
for him, but tolerates his visits because
some of the neighbors' girls are en-
ylous. Last week Clarence, in all the
splendor of new suit, hied himself to
his dulcinea's home and proceeded to
make himself agreeable They walked
about the farm for an hour or so, and
returned to the house. Clarence sat
down on bench outside the kitchen
door to smoke a cigarette, while the
girl went in to assist her mother. He
saw the inevitable small brother grim
ming at him. Now, Clarence don't like
to be grinned at, and he angrily asked:

Do you see anything green?''
