each wire and into the post to prevent
its slipping up or down. The first wire
was placed on the ground or as near to
it as possible, for, after the pigs have
beaten path around, it will be high
enough. The second, third and fourth
wires were placed three and half
inches above each other. the fifth four
and one-half inches above the fourth
and the sixth six inches above the
fifth. This makes fence twenty-one
inches high, which is sufficient for hogs.
Four three-foot stakes were driven
along each panel and two rods apart
The wires were alternated on each side
of the stakes, which takes up the
slack, and then stapled fast. l took
No. 10 galvanized smooth wire and put
1t in lengths of thirty inches. These
pieces were woven every four feet
around each wire and act as stays to
prevent the pigs from spreading the
wires, and in measure to give rigidity
to the whole fence. In putting on
these cross wires pair of leather nit
tens or heavy gloves should be worn to
protect the hands. Since building this
fence have had no trouble with pigs
getting through To move the fence
all that is necessary is to remove the
band wires from the corner posts, pull
up the intermediate stakes, hitch
horse to one end and draw it where it
is wanted A spool could be made and
the fence rolled up on a wagon.

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.
Fifteen Million Cows Required to supp
the Demand for MILK.

Fifteen Million Cows Required to Supply
the Demand for Milk.
There are 81, 900, 600, 900 invested In
the dairy business of this country, says
the American Analyst. That amount
is almost double the money invested in
banking aud commercial industries. It
is estimated that it requires $4,000, 600
cows to supply the demand for milk
and its products in the United States.
To feed these cows, 90, 0OO, 600 acres Of
land are under cultivation. The agri-
cultural and dairy machinery and inn
plements are worth $500, 900, 600 The
men employed in the business number
$780, 900, and the horses are over 1,000,-
600. There are over $4,000. 900 horses
all told.
The cows and horses annually con-
sumo $1,000. 600 tons OF hay, and nearly
0,000,0 900 bushels of corn meal, about
the same amount of oat meal, ATS, 000,-
600 bushels Of oats, 2,000, 900 bushels Of
bran and 80, 900, 900 bushels Of corn, to
say nothing Of the brewery grains,
sprouts and other questionable feed of
various kinds that are used to a great
extent 1t costs $3.50, 600, 900 to feed
these cows and horses. The average
price paid to the laborers necessary In
the dairy business is probably $40 q
month, amounting to 81 80, 00D, 900 year.
The average COW yields about $50
gallons Of milk year, which gives a
total of $3.50, 600, 900 gallons. Twelve
cents q gallon IS fair price to estimate

HOW 70 FIT A WAIST

some Points OF Interest to Amateur Dress
makers.
II don't see, skillful amateur dress
maker said, why 1t IS that people have
such time getting their dress waists
to fit Seems to me that the most that's
needed is fairly accurate eye and just
little bit OF common sense. l went to
professional not long ago-at least
she called herself so-and when she
tried on my waist that she had meas
ured me for some time before, it was
absolutely painful to see the way she
pinched and pulled and bothered to get
some sort of set to it Ny old dress
maker gave me a few hints when she
went out of business, and they have
been of great value to me ever since.
She told me never to begin at the shonl-
ders to fit waist, but to see first that
the darts were right, then make the
waist sufficiently tight to stay in plaee;
put three or four pins in, SO that 1t
could not slip about, then carefully
stroke the sides of the waist from the
bodice up to the shoulders, one hand in
front and one hand at the back. Smooth
out every wrinkle, having first ripped
the shoulder seams, and fasten them
lightly with couple of pins. When
tile fullness is smoothed up to the
shoulder seams, pin them carefully in
place. Then haste with the utmost ex-
actness. This line can be followed by
sewing thread through from side to
side, then clipping it in the middle.
The ends will be safe guide to sew by.
After the shoulders are finished,
curve in the front little, il the figure
permits, and almost every figure is inn
proved by it, but take care that there
is not bunchiness left just over the
bust. Let the curves be very slight for
slight figures; of course, plump persons
will need much more.
.sThere is another thing about maxi
ing waists that very few people seem
thoroughly TO understand. I've had
dresses sent home from so-called first-
class dressmakers with straightfacings
around the edges OF the basque under
meath. This Is very serious mistake,
as the outside and facing are sure TO
draw in contrary directions and allow
the edges OF the basque to wrinkie.
Facings should be exactly on the bias,
and should be put on SO that there will
be no drawing or straining IN either
direction, otherwise the smoothness a
the edge OF the garment Is entirely
destroyed.
u wonder that some competent per-
son does not go out into suburban dis
tricts and open classes Tor instructing
girls IN the principle OF dressmaking
