PROBABLY there is nothing that interests
land owners more at this time of year than
fencing. They want to secure the very best
article they can for the purpose they desire
to use it, and at the cheapest price going.
Nhlie TINS IS good business, price should
not take the place of quality. In building a
smooth wire fence you do not build it for
temporary use but expect 1t to last for years,
and to get this kind of an article It requires
certain amount fgood material to N axe it,
The De kalb Fence Co., of De Kalb. lli-
nois, has the largest and most complete line
of smooth wire fencing of any plant In the
country. They desire particularly to call
your attention to their goods. Write them
for catalogue. which they will mail YOU
free. No line of goods has grown so rapid
ly III demand or given such general satisfac-
ton as the fencing manufactured by this
company. Their steel web picket fence for
lawn and yard purposes; their cahieli field
and hog fence for farm use; their cabled
poultry, garden and rabbit fence are all
they claim for them. You will hardly do
yourself justice if you do not thoroughly in

wonders in the region of Central and

possible to circle the globe in 40 days.
The Transsiberian road will find sea-
