WE have heard Of some instances Of people
selling a COW to raise money TO buy wire fcnc-
ing. This is we'll. One or two COWS Will buy
q quality OF wire-enough TO enclose a good
pasture. The labor of stretching the wire fenc-
ing is almost nothing.
As an evidence OF better thrift on the part
of our people, we might mention the increaS'
ed acreage that is now enclosed in pasture
fences. Cattle are mere machines for convert
ing the grass into flesh. They charge nothing
for their services.
GREAT quantities OF wire are being taken to
the country for the purpose OF fencing pas
cure lands, and If the good work goes on ii
will not be long before nearly all the waste
lands Of this county will be turned to profit
able account.
