generous division of profits. But the lawyer
wasn't satisfied with what was coming to
him, share and share alike with the others.
After receiving his proper whack as a part

He said that as lawyer he was worth that
much more to the deal. This was new way
of looking at the matter, but the bill was re-
signedly allowed by the friends.

The line is IA miles in length, with five
stations, two at Anderson, two in Pen
dleton and one at Ingalls,. We are in
formed that additional subscribers
could be served to advantage, but that
the terms of the contract with the
present parties prohibit it. The I'M
questioned success of this novel tele
phone line is stated to be due largely
to the perfect insulation. The builder
invariably uses the top strand of the
fence wire, which is treated to gen
erous coating of rubber paint. At
the fence sections common galvanized
wire is used to continue the circuit to
connection with the next fence, the
same arrangement being carried out at
the railroad crossings. In order to
carry across the road or highway, the
circuit is either placed beneath an in
verted trough, covered by the mate
rial of the road, or, as shown in our ac-
companying illustration, it is carried
overhead by means of two poles, one
on each side of the crossing. In this
illustration Mr.. Alley himself is seen

self to rural communities. The cost
is extremely low, as there is no ex-
pense for copper wires, and poles are
only needed at the crossings. Where the
number of patrons is not too large, the
service is said to be all that could
be desired. Our correspondent states
that he has used the fence line to con-
verse with friend some eight miles
distant, and this at time when the
fence-posts were still saturated with
the morning dew, a condition under
which the line is supposed to work to
the least satisfaction.
The line has been such a practical
success that the farmers of the neigh
borhood are organizing companies for
the purpose of placing themselves in
telephone communication throughout
the whole district. AS evidence of the
practicability of the barb-wire tele-
phone our correspondent quotes the
case of the Wagner Glass company,
who, with offices at Anderson. are able
to communicate daily with their plant
at ingalls,, 13 miles distant. The cost
in this case is only 500 per year, and
there is the added advantage that hav-
ing only two other subscribers on that
wire, the line is almost always avail
hble.-Scientific American.

CREAMERY TROUBLES.
One of the biggest Obstacles En-
cOuntered Is Dishonesty Among
Those Supplying Milk.

One of the hard things that the man.
has to contend with is dishonesty
among those that supply milk. Where
milk is purchased by the hundred
pounds this condition is particularly
acute, and it even exists in consider
able measure where the milk is pur-
tells of the trouble he has with his
patrons that bring poor milk. He says
that one man continually brought milk
so near the souring point that it was
sometimes impossible to use it, and
once or twice it was returned. But the
the next day and assert that the mana
ger was wrong in sending back the
milk-that it kept perfectly Tor a long
time afterward. One day the milk
brought was so near sour that the man
ager thought it necessary to refuse it.
He thought, however, that he would be
sure that this milk soured, so he slyly
slipped into the cans enough rennet to
make the milk thick in a short time.
The following morning the farmer was
back with a new lot of milk, but de-
clared that the milk of the preceding
day kept over night, and that some of
it was used for making custard the
next day. Of course, it was not policy
for the manager to give away the fact
that he knew the man was lying, or
that he had put rennet in the milk. 1t
illustrates one of the biggest obstacles
in the way of getting clean milk
