man in tho wagon 70 drive tho posts
which is done with a twelvepound
hammer-and one man on the ground
with pole just the length between
posts. This pole should have Q hook
at one end to catch on the last post
driven. The man on the ground takes
a post from the wagon. sets it in line
and at the end of the measure. and the
man in the wagon drives it down with
few blows OF the hammer. 1t is
essential that the end posts should be
thoroughly 'braced and anchored
down. This is done by putting half
inch rod one foot long in the bottom
of the end post and placing stone
ten or twelve inches square and four
to six inches thick over the rod on
each side of the post upon which the
dirt is well tramped. The brace is
made of a piece of pipe ten feet long
the upper end formed to fit the post
and bolted to it with one bolt The
bottom end is placed against a stone
just under the ground.
The wires are attached to the post
with No. II annealed wire which is
wound once around the post, crossing
over the fence wire and twisted up
tight. A five strand barbed wire
fence with posts one rod apart can be
built for less than sixty cents rod.

SIN all Flocks Best.

We cordially agree with the follow
ing remarks of an exchanges: That
small focks of sheep almost invariably
pay a better per cent of profit than do
large focks is proposition that
hardly admits of discussion. OF
course, there is definite reason why
this is So and the reason is not hard
to find. The small flock is almost
always the better cared for, with a
closer and more intimate attention to
the Individual needs of each animal.
If this same practice could or should
be followed with the large focks, they
would doubtless pay equally well.
Which is only another way of saying
that the better the care the better the
profit and that the best of care always
pays" So says our contemporary.
The Ag. Ed. is OF opinion that the
most economical and profitable focks
are those which are large enough to
engage the watchful management of
Shepherds men or boys, with trained
dogs. Such is the case in Great Brit
ain and on the European continent
where the business of wool-growing
has been profitable one these five
hundred years and more. National

Abijah was not one of the grumbling

much greater alacrity than in times

He did not wish to hurt the new
proprietor's trade, however, and for
long time was guarded in his replies
to the questions with which he was
piled. One day he was asked to take
Sunday dinner with family, the mis-.

Volume and Circulation.

Too many men cannot or do not
seem to. distinguish between the vol
ume of money of the country and its
circulating medium, whereas there is
"a great difference The volume of
money of the country is over 81, 800 :
00C, 900, while the actual circulation
the money in use among the people is
not more than one third of that
amount The report of the treasury
department for the last month says
that the sum of $741. 668, 200 is held
in the treasury, which is almost one
half of our entire volume of currency.
Add to this amount held in the banks
as reserves, that that is boarded away
and shrinking from investment and
our actual circulation does not exceed
5000, 600, Or less than SO per capita.
No sort of assembling or lying can
get around these facts. When any
man-no matter who he may be, I'M
dertakes to say that the money hoard
ed in the treasury, sub treasures and
banks is a part of the circulating me-
dunn he is surely lying or is grossly
ignorant Will any man of sense say
the $780, 600. 600 of gold held in the
vaults of the treasury for a
quarter of a century for the redemp-
ton of greenbacks is, or has been at
any time in all these years a part
of the circulating medium? Will
sane man dare say the gold
and silver now stored behind the
gold and silver certificates is in
any sense a part of the circulating
medium, or, that in any sense are to-
day performing the functions OF
money? While this coin stored in the
vaults of the government is considered
a part of the volume of money, prac-
tically, it is in no more sense money
than the equal value of corn, wheat
or any other non-perishable product
would be if stored in it's stead Yet
in the face of all these facts-duly at
tested in every report made by the
treasury department, we find men and
newspapers declaring that we have a
per capita circulation based upon our
whole volume one-half of which the
secretary of the treasury says is locked
in Uncle Sans strong boxes!- Alliance

SOME rURKasH STORIES.
Why the vulture Lives . thousand Years
and tho stork Only One.

Why the vulture Lives Thousand Years
and tho stork Only One.
Wherever there are human beings,
it matters not of what nationality,
says the Boston Herald, there will
always be found legends sayings. Gus
TOMS signs, and tokens. more or less
absurd, which have been handed down
from generation to generation. and in
which the ignorant implicitly believe.
The following have been selected from
a great number held in veneration in
Turkey:
The Vulture and the Stork-The
good God said one day to a vulture
and stork:
ASK me whatever you wish and IT
shall be granted YOU"
LET US reflect" said the two birds.
The vulture and the stork took
counsel together and decided to ask
that they might live thousand years.
Then they returned to the Lord.
Il wish to live 1000 years, said
the vulture.
land 1 one year." said the stork
by mistake.
God granted these demands. and
that is the reason the vulture lives
1000 years and the stork one year.
The New Moon-When one sees for
the first time the new moon he must
take piece of money, look at it for a
moment raise it toward the moon,
and put it away into his purse. By
this means your purse will always be
full of money.
Vampires-If a cat enters the cham.
Der where man lies dying and passes
over his body, the man, after death,
will become vampire.
Bread-When one finds a piece OF
bread which has fallen upon the
ground he must take it up, kiss it. and
put it in hole. To tread upon
piece of bread is terrible sin.
The Dog. Cat, Mouse, and Grocer
A dog having found written letter
placed it in the care of cat. The
cat hid the letter in a hole. The
mouse stole the letter and hid it in a
bag. The grocer found the letter
and used it to wrap up a piece OF
cheese.
The dog demanded the letter of the
cat. The cat said the mouse had
stolen it. The cat requested the
mouse to give it back. The mouse
said the grocer had taken it to his
shop and used it in making up a par
eel OF cheese. That is the reason the
dog pursues the cat for the purpose of
retaining the letter, the cat runs
after the mouse to demand the letter,
and the mouse introduces himself into
the bags of the grocer for the purpose
of finding it.
The King of the Serpents-Chah-
Miriam is the name of the king of the
serpents. When anybody sees a SER
pent he should say: I'm the name of
Chah-Miran go away and hide thy
self" The serpent will disappear i'm
mediately. Chah-Miran is dead, but
the serpents do not know it. Other.
wise they would devour the wholes
human species The fear Of this great
king is the only thing which prevents
them from destroying all mankind.

How Should Capital and Labor Share

HOW SHOULD N0p1thI anu LABOR snare.
Clearly. each should have the pro-
portion it contributes toward produc-
ton. According to the lowest esti-
mate made by statisticians, labor in
the United States contributes seventy
two per cent. Upon this basis capital
should receive twenty eight per cent
OF the productions. Mr.. Edward At
kinson, noted statistician, who has
considered the subject extensively,
says that labor con tributes ninety per
cent and capital ten. towards the
wealth produced in this country. Ac-
cording to his figures, labor should re-
ceive nine and capital one
Whether the highest or the lowest
figures are correct 1T is very appar-
ent thxt capital receives much more
than it earns and thereupon labor
must receive less. IT. as the public
lists say, the rate of interest should
only compensate the lender for his
trsuble and hazards. it would seem
that capitals earnings should be upon
the same considerations. Some enter
prises or industries are more hazard
Gus than others and therefore. in the
former capital should receive a greater
compensation than in the latter It is
an easy matter to determine the trouble
and risks in all cases and the contri-
button that each makes and to regu.
late wages accordingly. This principle
IS just between man and man.

Farm Notes.

Pounding up old bones fine and giving
them to the hens to eat is a good way of
supplying materials for egg shells.
Milk should be strained as soon as pos
sible after being drawn, and then it should
not be disturbed until after the cream has
risen.
Endeavor to secure quality by breeding
and feeding for it. The difference in the
price realized will more than pay for the
extra care.
One of the principal reasons why women
are more successful poultry raisers than
men is because they are more painstaking
and patient.
A tablespoonful Of crude sarbolic acid
thoroughly mixed with quart Of butter
milk is a good remedy for lice. Apply
with a brush.
Good bred stock possessing individual
merit will often make money with the
same feed and care that with scrubs would
only return loss.
Everything indicates that the wool
grower who breeds more mutton and
grows less wool will make the most money
out of the sheep business.
While good windows are necessary for
nealtn ana comfort, TOO much glass in one
place is often injurious. The best plan is
to avoid extremes either way
If five cents more per bushel, or one
cent more per pound, can be secured by
knowing the market and using good judg-
ment in selling, it is that much more clear
profit.

Fencing.

The day of the old worm fence is
past and that of board fencing is far
spent The iron fence in its various
forms has come to stay. But now the
question of material for posts rises to
perplex the farmer. Oak posts cost
from ten to twenty cents each and will
last only six to ten years. Cedar
posts are too expensive and too soft to
hold staples properly, besides the cost
of setting wood posts is heavy item
in the cost OF building fence.
For several years we have been
looking for some form of iron post
that is easy to set moderate in cost,
ind above all. lasting. Some years
ago the thought came to us that gas
pipe might fill the loag-felt want as
its form combined the greatest strength
with the least material. Ten years
ago we set half dozen posts of old
and rusty II inch pipe. The pieces
were six feet long and driven two feet
into the ground This proving salts
factory. year later we purchased a
ton OF secondhand pipe. much of it
badly rusted. This we cut into six
foot lengths and used them in making
barbed wire fence, and not one OF the
posts has yet given out
From these experiments we became
satisfied that iron pipe was the thing
for US to use for posts for wire fence,
and that inch pipe was as large as there
was any necessity in using, large
number of which we now have set.
The price varies with the market.
One of the good things about the
posts is the ease and rapidity with
which they can be put in the ground.
