THE fence, with the two by four-inch
posts, can be removed by taking out
the keys that hold them on, to any por-
tion of the farm where trees are pre-
pared for them.
This makes very substantial and
durable fence, lasting from rs to 30
years. The trees need not cost anything
more than little time and attention,
as they can be obtained by planting
the seed from the incest apples; and
the fruit will more than repay for the
cost of the fence in few years.
! Such fence should be along every
public highway, as it would give the
road and fields an attractive and home
like appearance and Fireside.

AN ECONOMICAL FENCE.

Made of Barbed Wire BOIted to Apple
Trees for Posts.
One of the greatest problems of the
farmers to-day is how to make the best
and cheapest fence. Many devices have
been recommended, but the most eco
nomical fence, to my mind, is one made
of barbed wire stretched to small strips
say two by four inches-bolted to
apple trees for posts, as shown in the
illustration.
The trees are trimmed up pretty high,
and the two by four-inch strips should
be all cut into equal lengths, the

Eggs are too valuable in winter to be
used for Matching purposes unless one is
confident of securing good matches and
Of raising the chick, says the Mirror and
Farmer. To use a dozen eggs from
which only six chicks come, and then
lose three of them, means an expendi-
ture of four eggs for one chick, and no
one can afford the cost in that respect.
The heaviest loss of chicks is with hens
not with incubators and brooders-
and this fact should not be overlooked.
It is admitted that in the spring and
summer when the hen has everything in
her favor she will be more serviceable
than the brooder, but in the winter,
when cold winds, ice, snow and rains
prevail, the hen has difficult undertake
ing to care for herself instead of at
tempting to raise a brood, and as rule,
the hens are fortunate if they raise one
half of the chicks Matched.
When hen becomes broody make her
nest in a warm place, and when she
brings off her brood have place pre-
pared for her, under shelter and where
the sunlight can come. Be careful that
the chicks are not exposed or become
chilled, and aim to raise everyone of
them. In that case the chicks will pay
because the expense of the eggs used
will be reduced by reason of the larger
number of chicks marketed.

TELLER is BACKWARD
Doesn't Want to Be Made Can
didate Apparently.
The Senator Will Not Go Home
Until July.

Chicago June 20.-NeXt week Senator
Dubois win open Teller headquarters
in this city. It was intended to take
all of the boiling delegates to CHICAGO,
but this morning the plans were
changed.
St Louis, June 20-Another confer
ence of the silver boilers has been held
at which it was decided to take a ten
tative course. The boiling delegates
will therefore make no formal proceed
ure until they have had an opportunity
to consult with their party members in
their states and determine what meas
ure of approval meets their course in
walking out of the Republican conven-
ton.
For this reason it was deemed best
not to effect any formal organization
as yet, and Informally il was decided
to have Senator Dubois of Idaho look
after the interests of the boilers until
such time as it is decided to be ad-
visa BILE to perfect regular Organiza-
ton.
Nearly all Of the silver delegates have
left the city. Those remaining are
Senators Carter, Teller, Mantle, Du-
bOis and Cannon and Congressman
Hartman. Congressman Towne of
Minnesota is also still here and viii re-
main some days. as also viii the others
awaiting developments and preparing
FOR such action as the trend of events
may indicate to be wise.
AS yet the boilers do not discuss with
Senator Teller the proposition to nomi-
nate him on an Independent ticket The
senator himself pushes such sugges-
tions aside without ceremony.
A report has been current that the
boilers had been in conference with the
Populist leaders. sveral of whom ha.-
pen to be in town just now. Inves-
tgatiOn showed the rumOr to be un-
true. though it IS not considered i'm
possible that some effort at approach
ment may be made on one side or the
other. to the end that all silver men
of whatever party may get together or
that common ground and so act in con
cert for the best interests of the silver
supporting states.
Senator Henry n. Teller himself does
not take much stock IN his boom. and it
was contrary to his advice that Du-
bOis Cannon and the others declared
him in the race
Teller refused to discuss the matter
today. To a correspondent he said.
"An I have to say is that 7 have not

make any statement. understand that
some of the free silver men have issued
some sort Of an address"
He seemed anything but enthusiastic
about the matter. Teller looks ten
