A Satisfactory Fence.

L have found my fence of smooth
wire and board effective, and cheaper
than any olher l have ever built, says a
farmer in the New ork Z'ri .une. In a
small pasture ad dining the barn (where
we turn out horses and have kept
one or more cows night and day. stock
have several times broken down or
jumped over the BOARD fence on two
sides, but have not in the three years
broken through or over the wire. We
use pain No. . wire, costing me 3 cents
a pound, and it weighs about one pound
to the rod. I used in this fence but
three wires and one strip of board. three
inches wide, but would use four wires if
building another. I have another lot
fenced with five wires and the strip of
board, which turns calves and sheep.
Fence boards now cost me l cent a foot,
running measure, for 6-inch wide, or
$50 per thousand feet, so you see that
five wires cost less than one board. This
is not all the saving. however, for one
post every thlrty-twO feet is all that is
needed for wire fence, while a good
board fence requires post every eight
feet. Then the cost of building the
board fence is four times that of build
ing with wire.
With the end posts we'll braced there
Is very little trouble in keeping the wires
of the right tension. After the wires are
stretched and stapled to the posts, we
drive stake in the centre, between the
posts and staple the wires to it. We
then set up strips of board, three inches
wide and four feet and half long, every
four Fl ct three of these strips filling each
space between a stake and post, and
staple the wires to those uprights, and
the our 3-inch board is nailed to these
with single clinch-nail at each. a
wire fence is never safe without this
board, as stock, particularly horses,
when excited and running will not see
it, and will run into it, but with the
uprights only four feet apart and the
one narrow board there is no danger of
this. 1t is good plan to put a small
fat stone or piece of board under the
end of each upright. The cost of the
material for this fence is about 30 cents
calling the posts at % cents each, stakes
3 cents, uprights l cent and wire staples
and nails at cost. On level land, where
long stretch could be had. 1 think 20

DREAMS

Who can tell us whence they coma,
What mysterious regions FRONT
In what fairy country lies
That strange city of surprise
Whittier we in slumber go
BY path we do not knowa
Is it near or far away
And the people, who are theyl
Once when 1 was there the town
Seemed as if 'twere upside down;
Roofs of barns and houses stood
Where the stone foundations should,
And the streets all seemed TO run
Straight as arrows to the sun,
Where, like ribbons, they were wound
On its golden spool around
ALI the men and horses there,
Topsy- turvy in the air,
Walked and trotted on the blue
Pavements of the avenue.
But in morning when l woke
/ discovered twas joke.
For the first thing found out
Was that had turned about
How to go there, who can tell,
Where these fairy people dwelll
Strange it is that mornings light
Cannot show the path of night;
Stranger yet that we can keep
Itso surely in our sleep;
But the very strangest seems
Being wide awake in dreams.

Feed the Straw.


Feed the Straw.
Now that threshing is generally over,
the question naturally arises, What shall
be done with the straw? In the great
grain growing regions, but little thought
is given to the matter. 1t is Usually burned
to get it out of the way. If stacked it
is done so loosely that it poorly sheds the
rain, and is soon valueless, except for
manure. Those who de ire to convert it
into manure for immediate use draw 1t
into the barnyard to be trampled down
by the stock Straw is too valuable to
use in this way. 1t is a desirable fodder,
and should be housed or well stacked and
fed to stock during the winter. If yours
is poorly stacked, fix it up and cover
with long slough grass, IN order that a
good share of it may be preserved. 1t
has been proven that straw and less than
bushel of barley or its equivalent IN
other grain, will winter sheep we'll.
Straw and four quarts of oats day
will winter an ordinary horse that is not
at work.
It takes but little figuring to prove
that to the ordinary farmer it is cheaper
to feed straw and small amount OF
grain, than to winter his stock upon
good hay' alone.
With all the care taken, unless housed,
there will be more or less waste that the
stock will not eat. This, with dry muck,
leaves, sawdust, and other refuse about
the farm, stock yard and barn, will give
bedding for the stock.
A great many farmers do not figure on
anything better than plenty of good
hay" to winter their dry cows, and young
stock, both cattle and horses. If these
would feed little less Of the good hay
and some grain, they would find 1t
cheaper and their STOCK would do as
well. 1t makes but little difference how
we get the combination that makes a
good ration, so long as the result is
reached; two and five make seven as well
as one and six.
Even those who keep their straw for
the manure or plant food there is in it,
do not expect to get the good of 1t for
two or three years-not until the pile
''rots down" If they have several piles,
and good sized ones, more land is thus
occupied that can be afforded upon a
we'll regulated farm. When fed to stock,
the plant food contained in straw IS at
once available. All the grains make good
manure, yet no one would be so foolish
as to throw them into the barn-yard for
that purpose.
Be as wise with the straw Of the grain.
Get what nourishment there is in it for
your stock frst-feed your farm with
what is left.
The whole question in regard to what
to do with straw can be answered in four
W ords-feed it to stock. We are not ad-
vocating a straw diet alone. We would
not advise any to feed it alone to mich
COWS and expect any milk, or at least not
much, and less cream, yet we do not
think small ration of nice, bright oat
straw will hurt mich COWS that are high
grain fed. We know they relish it.
Feed all your coarse fodder-giving
grain or supplemental foods enough
to make a complete ration. Sell from
the farm only that that takes the least
from it's fertility, and sell that after you
have used the "waste" of the farm as
we'll as the grain, in producing it. Feed
the straw.-F@rma, Field ant St0ckmaan.

Back From Columbus.

The G. A. R. boys who have been at
tending the National encampment at
Columbus are returning home by every
train. Many are taking advantage
of the trip to visit friends 'back
east" and so are spending time amid
the scenes of early days.
Among the various plans which
helped to pass the time of the veterans
on the eastward trip was the taking of
''straw'' votes on the excursion trains.
A gentleman just returned gives us a
few figures as taken upon four trains
that rolled into Columbus in succession
last week. Train No. gave Harrison
100, Cleveland II, Fisk 8, Streeter B;
No. 2-Harrison 213, Cleveland 81,
Fisk 4, Streeter 2; No. 3-Harrison 1855,
Cleveland ii, Fisk 5; No. Harrison
81, Cleveland 35, Fisk 6, Streeter 9.
The last named train carried delega-
ton from an overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic county in interior Indiana,
AS will be seen from the figures the
boys in blue are not surprisingly unan-
imous for the Great Vetoer.

A Standard Firm.

Among the hardware firms of Dick
inson county none is taking a higher
place for uprightness of dealing, STAN
dard quality of goods and general relia-
bility than that of John Dunlavy & Co.
of this city. Mr.. Dunlayy, the head Of
the firm, has long been resident Of
this county and has hosts of personal
friends who know him and are glad to
give him every possible portion of
their custom.
Besides this, the firm handles only
the best class of hardware and farm
ing implements, and farmers know
just what to depend upon when they
buy of them. Their trade in reapers
and mowers during the summer has
been unprecedentedly large, and now
their store is loaded with implements
suitable for fall seeding as well as ger
eral hardware stock.
This firm has secured the contracts
for furnishing the hardware for several
large buildings recently, and they are,
by reason of their immense trade, able
to furnish such things at the lowest
rates.
In speaking of the firm we must not
forget the popular manager, w. 81. 81.
Bonebrake, who has so long been in the
hardware business here. 1t is largely
due to him that the trade Of the firm is
so large.

The Kansas Farmers crop report is
being somewhat generally criticised on
account of its over-estimation of the
corn crop, but the associated press
sends out the following which at least
has no uncertain sound:
Corn in many parts is very heavy
in some parts the heaviest ever raised
in the history of Kansas. With all the
shortages in certain localities, the crop
for the State as a whole will probably
prove to be the heaviest ever grown.
