Farm Fences.

Barb wire for farm-fencing has be-
come necessity. and has generally been
accepted throughout the West. Its
cheapness as compared with boards or
other materials, has enabled the farmer
to fence in his land and generally to
cross-fence the fields as well. A barb
wire fence requires less than one-half
the number of posts required for board
fence, less than half the labor to build,
while wagon-load of wire will fence a
large farm. Fire does not easily destroy
it, and if the posts are peeled an ordi-
nary prairie-tire viii not harm them.
A wel[built barb wire fence is esti-
mated to, last thirty years. Post should
be we'll set, properly braced at all open
ings, and the wire we'll stretched. A
wire made from two strands, twisted
evenly, is best, as it yields more readily
to climatic Influences without breaking
or tearing loose from the staples.
Barb wire used to sell at from 10 to 12l
cents per pound, but competition
and improved machinery have reduced
the price so that now it is nearly as low
as the plain wire. Instead of using three
wires for fence, the best farmers put on
five. Such fence animals will respect,
and it is a complete barrier to any kind
of animal.
Sharp competition has stimulated the
sale of cheaply made barb wire, cheap
paints or poor galvanizing. This will
always be the case where the margin OF
profit is very narrow. 1t pays to use
known brands, made by responsible
makers, as difference of half cent pei
pound will not make up for rotten OF
poorly made wire.
The best wire. makers are shortening
the barbs or thorns, to make them less
severe, or adopting yielding style Of
barb which does not tear out the flesh
when run against We think thisa great
improvement, for fence of any kind is
but an educator, and there certainly is
no economy in lacerating and tearing
your stock. Select barb wire as you
would an ak, with care, and get the best
without regard to its cost;-Ioua Home

Hints to Beginners in Soiling.

A system of partial soiling, by which
one-half of the usual amount of pasture
is dispensed with, can be practiced
without greatly interfering with the
ordinary crops of the farm, and with
little cost in labor, says writer in the
Country Gentleman. A limited pasture,
supplemented with few acres OF clover
and peas and oats, aud then plenty of
after-feed and corn-fodder, will secure a
very uniform flow of milk through the
season, and an amount far beyond what
could have been realized from the dry
feed OF the large pasture. 1t is not good
economy to confne dairy cows to pasture
alone, as additional acres afford no ade-
quate return in milk. and ripened grass
In pastures is unsightly and tends to pro-
mote the growth of weeds and thistles.
Where a perfect system of soiling is
adopted it may be best to SOW winter
rye and orchard grass for early use, and
millet for variety later in the season !;
but when half the usual amount of
pasture is provided, these will not be
found necessary. After having tried
them all, I have discontinued their use
and rely on the regular crops of clover,
peas and oats, and corn for the extra
feed required. 1t usually takes one man
about an hour to cut and draw the feed
for 25 cows, once a day, which is all
that is required in connection with half
pasture. This is not costly, and does
not greatly interfere with regular farm
work, and proves great help in making
every acre of the farm useful.

Squire Bennett presided at police
court yesterday morning, owing to the
absence of Judge Aylesworth. John
Evans, a dark skinned gentleman, was
arraigned for the larceny of two horse
blankets from Union park. AS the
prosecuting witness failed to appear,
the court ordered him locked up in the
sewer for a ten days sweat.
j. w. Jones, peanut vender on the
Kansas City road, was brought in by
Officer Thomas. He slept in Thomas
room at the St. Joe house the preced-
ing night, and when Thomas left the
room in the morning the prisoner was
still in bed. The officer had occasion
to go to his room short time afterward
and found Jones going through his
trunk. He arrested him and took him
to the station, where he was locked up
to await an examination. He claims
that the trunk was open, and Thomas
revolver was lying on top, and he was
merely examining it out of curiosity
when the officer opened the door and
arrested him.

evening. The object of his visit was to
levy an execution on the interest OF the
Wabash railroad company in the Union
elevator in this city. On the Ith OF
October, 1856, the United States Trust
company, of New York, obtained a
judgment in the United States court for
the southern district of Iowa, against
the Omaha division of the Wabash rail
road for 81, 500 ,2lS.50. The Omaha di-
vision was sold to satisfy the judgment,
for 81 400 900, leaving II deficiency OF
81 ,299, ,2lS.60. The Union elevator was
not built until after the judgment was
obtained, and the Wabash company re-
fused to allow their interest in that
structure to be sold to satisfy any part
of the judgment. The Trust company
brought suit and Judge Shiras decided
that it must be sold, being governed by
the same law that would apply to depots
built after "a judgment was secured.
This decision was rendered at the last
term of court. The Wabash owns a
sixth interest in the elevator, amount
ing to SIG ,666. 66, representing the cash
paid for the construction of this $3.50 900
elevator. 1t will now be sold within
thirty days and will probably be bid in
by the Trust company for about $25 900.

The evening democratic paper, after
being repeatedly asked to produce the
many attidavits showing that the saloon
men had been bribing the prosecuting
attorney of the law and order league,
at last shows its hand. There are three
of kind. The aflidavits are quite
wordy, and when sifted, it appears that
Mr.. Hardy, of Avoca, made settle
ment of some cases brought against
Avoca saloonists, among them, one
named Jensen. A careful reading of
the three affidavits fails to show that
anyone received dollar from Mr..
Jensen except Mr.. Hardy, to whom it Is
averred that $3.50 was paid by Jensen.
AS Hardy represented the law and order
league Of Avoca, and had full charge of
its business there, it seems that if any
one is to explain the settlement made
with Jensen, it should be Mr.. Hardy.
The aflidavits do not refute the claim
that Avoca's law and order league
started war against six saloons there
| and employed Mr.. Sims as their attor-
ney. Mr.. Hardy seems to have made
his own negotiations, while Mr. Sims
conducted the cases in court under his
direction, dismissing such as the law
and order league, by its representative,
Hardy, requested dismissed. The atfi-
| davits go to substantiate the statement
that Mr. Hardy made the settlements
and received the money for the costs
and attorney fees. So long as no wit
ness yet appears who claims that Mr..
| Sims ever received dollar to which he
was not legally entitled, that gentleman
| seems to have little or nothing more tc
| deny. The atfidavits are, as was sup
| posed, wholly lacking in substantiating
the charge that Mr.. Sims received &

MUST SHOW THEIR LICENSES
Uncle Sam About to Take Hand in
Prohibition.
THE DAYS SPORT AT MANAwA
Furnishing Of the Government Build
ing-Going Through u Poiiceman's
Trunk-A Wabash Judgment
The Council-Bluffs Notes.


It is now reported that Uncle Sam is
about to take hand in the prohibition
game. AS is generally known, the gov
ernment makes it decidedly warm for
anyone selling liquor without the
, requisite license. On the other hand,
the present state law provides that the
fact that man has a government Ii
cense to sell liquor is prima facie evil
dence that he is engaged in selling
liquor. A government liquor license
is, therefore, rather awkward bit of
paper. A saloon man who does not pos
scss it is liable to fall into the unyield-
ing clutches of Uncle Sam. and if he
does possess it, the great state Of Iowa,
by its prohibition attorneys, seizes upon
| it as one Of the best proofs OF II violation
| of the law. There has been Il good deal
| of lodging about to prevent trouble on
this account. Nearly everybody breads
Uncle Sans wrath more than the prose-
cution under the state law, for while the
penalty may not be so severe, it Is more
| certain to come.
In order to dodge both it has been
| quite customary to take ont the needed
| government license, and lay it to one
| side, in a drawer, or other convenient
| place, where it can be readily reached
for and shown up. if necessary, and yet
| be hidden from the sharp eyes of the
| prOhi bitior informers.
| Unfortunately the United States reve-
| nue. law provides that this license must
be posted in Il conspicuous place. Here
is where the pinch is to come. Those
who hide their government licenses are
liable to penalty, and if they are fined
for this, that produces the needed proof
| by which the prohibitionists will
| proceed under the state law. 1t
is understood that government
officer will soon ''rouud up some of
these offenders. The local officials Of
| the government have not been very
vigiant in hunting up instances of the
violation of this regiment to post the
government license in conspicuous
place. They probably are not very en-
thusiastic prohibtionists, and do not
care to aid in getting evidence against
the saloon. If Uncle Sam begins to
force those who sell liquor to post their
licenses, it will be difficult to keep the
prohibitionists from thus getting the
evidence by which to make out state
cases. An official is expected here
within few days for this purpose.

What the New Bridge Means.

A prominent Omaha capitalist has
been on this side of the river this week
with an eye to purchasing property IN
the western part of the city, upon which
to erect fifty dwelling houses. The gem
tleman referred TO has almost unlimited
means at his command and proposes to
erect fine class of buildings. He eX-
amincd the property between Streets
Vile and the waterworks on Broadway,
and also some of that lying
north and northwest of Streets
Vile. The truth of the matter is
that Omaha capitalists are Just
beginning to realize that the place
to invest their money is just on the east
side of the Missouri river. AS one of
them yesterday expressed himself to a
BEE representative, I'VE are just be-
ginning to open our eyes to what this
new bridge means. 1t means that valu-
able land, heretofore in little demand
for anything but farming purposes, Will
| be brought almost into the heart OF
Omaha, and it will be in great demand
| in less than three months for residence
and warehouse property. 1t will meet
with ready sale, and the best
man will be the one who can get
hold of the biggest slice of it.
