The income of the Countess, he went
on to set forth, was 100000 francs
($579,O00). Since the marriage $751;
100000 francs 49, 1895, O0O) had been
pended and the debts now amounted
to fully %, 900 francs ($4,439.O 0O).
The Gould family had met in consul
tation and unanimously decided to au-
thorize George Gould to make the pres
ent application.
The debts, Maitre Bonnet said, were
the following:
3,7O2 900 francs ($714,4S6) in connec-
ton with the Charity Bazaar building
and the hotel in the rue Malakoff,
etc., etc.

4,293,155 francs t$S2S,57S) on bills.
money borrowed.
100000 francs ($1, 1866, ao0) owing
to curio dealers.
Maitre Bonnet went on to assert that
the creditors distrained on the Seine
ct Disc property and that the family
had to intervene to prevent the sale.
With regard to the fitness of George
Gould to be trustee Maitre Bonnet
pointed out that his fortune was larg-
er than that of the Countess, that
authority based IN affection would be
great, and that nobody was better
qualified, as it was George Gould who
was appointed executor of his fathers
will. Another consideration was that
the clearing away of the debts would
take a number of years, and that
therefore it would be wise to conom
lie and not to go to the expense Of a
paid trustee.
The tribunal, taking this view, de-
clared the plaintiff possessed, better
than any other, of the necessary posi-
ton and authority to assist the de-
fendress.'

rails are long; take two pieces of or
binary fencing wire. each about six
feet long. and place on sides of first
two posts, having wire on second post
on opposite side to wire on first post;
fasten these wires to the post at or
near the groundJNow place a rail be-
tween wires and post, drawing wire
up tightly over rail and stapling just
above rail with long staple, doing
same at both ends; put on another
rail as before. and continue till top of

in the same way, taking care not to
have both ends of panel on same side

The Illustration shows the way rails
are stapled to posts and the manner
Of running panels. As the rails when
put on posts In this way do not touch
each other they will last longer than
when put on IN any other way, and l
like this method of making use OF old

Rave Your Hogs Of Good shape,

VA 0OUu SIHU8 ~
The shape and style of your hogs
regulates, to a certain extent, the price
that you will receive for them in the

overlook this matter, but breed his
hogs, as far as he can, SO that they
will be shaped in q that suits
the buyer and consumer, and it is only
the farmer who does this that can look
for "top-notch" prices.
There is one class Of hogs that have
rather good hind quarters, but they
are low in front and generally have a
poor heart Such hogs get of their
feed very easily, cannot stand heavy
feeding. and are generally found with
a weak constitution which makes them
liable to disease.
Another Improbable class of hogs is

times call a "short, blocky chunk
