tauTant with smile that reached from
ear to ca, and their hair curling with
delight. One farmer with straight In
dian hair came out with bis black poll
close curled-the effect of Mrz Wilkins

The Oregon Hedge Co. has a very
creditable display of their living combi.
nation hedge fence. They have tent
on the ground with a section of grow

agent, is in attendance and 10 a very
pleasant and instructive manner ex-
plains the merits of kind of farm i'm
provement that has been adopted by
some of the largest and most intelligent
farmers Of this county. This hedge
seems to be equally adapted to large
cattle ranches and small fruit farms,
grain fields and city lawns, and being
both ornamental and useful.
