WIRE FENCING BEST.
1t Is Not Excessive In Cost in the First
Place and Is Easily Kept in
Good Shape.

The advantage possessed by the
wire fence over the old-fashioned rail
and board fence is great. The old fences
took up a vast amount of room and
were the harboring places of all kinds
of insects and weed enemies. Often the
amount of land kept out of cultiva-
ton by the big sprawling fences was
large per cent. of the best land. The
weed seeds collected there every fall,
and he weeds sprung up thickly every
spring and at seed time sent their
myriads of embryonic plants over the
fields to spring up in turn in the
sown field and harass the husband
men. These weeds by the fence were
always well nurtured, for the SHOWS
collected over them and in melting in
creased the fertility around their
roots. Often they received more
needed moisture than the valuable
plants in the open field, and so were
the more ready to take the lead of the
procession. With the advent of the
wire fence the weeds got a backset.
The scythe could run right under the
wires and the weeds found them
selves assailed on both tanks. The
snow does not accumulate much in
the protection of fence wire, and
the weeds that remained got no ex-
ira coddling from that source.
The man that has a first-class and
well-Duilt wire fence has something
that will remain with him for years.
There is no necessity of an annual
campaign to put it in shape, as there
used to be with the board fence. When
heavy gale comes the farmer does
not have to go out in the morning and
begin the task of righting half mile
of fence boards and posts. The old
board fence disfgured the farm, for it
was too extensive to keep white
washed. Every mishap increased the
disfguration. Not so the wire fence.
The gale comes and it stands. The
rain and ice come and it bears up I'M
der them. If by any chance a wire is
btoken the fact does not cause a dis
figurement to the general whole. Al
together the wire fence is in every
sense the modern fence, and its pres
ence denotes progress,-Farmers Re-
view.

VIADUCT TO BE TAKEN DOWN.
An Immense Work of Engineering
in Pennsylvania VIII Soon
De Destroyed.

II is authoritatiyely stated that the
famous Kinzua yiaduct, the gigantic
iron girder and trestle bridge in Nc
Kean county, Pennsylvania, south of
Bradford, is to be replaced at an early
date by q new and wholly different
structure. Two views of this famous
bridge are given. Work on it was be-
gun on May ;, 1882, and it was COM
pleted and opened for traffic less than
four months later, on August 90, 1852.
1t is 3O1 feet high at the highest
point and until the completion of the
Garabit viaduct was the highest
bridge in the world. The Garabit
spans the Truyere in tie south of
France, is 1,S49 feet long and at the
highest point the rail level is 4O1 feet
above the river. 1t was designed by
NJ. EifTel, builder of the famous tow
err, and was completed in 1884
The Kinzua bridge is 2,0CO feet long.
1t was built by the Keystone Com
pany of PhoeniXville, Pa. It's compile
ton gave to the New York, Lake Erie
& Western railroad direct commun ica-
ton with the coal fields of western
Pennsylvania The Buffalo. Roches-
ter& Pittsburgh has a traffic arrange
mcnt with the Erie for the use of the
bridge. The valley of the Kinzua,
which this great ttcstle spans, is u
miles south of Bradford and one Of
the widest regions yet left in western
Pennsylvania. Until recently, per-
haps even yet, bear were plentiful and
deer occasionally found in this val
ley
The Kinzua viaduct has seen a point
of excursion and an object of Curl
osity for sightseers ever since il was
built, Gen. Grant was taken there on
one occasion,-Chicago Chronicle

Curious wanderings of Smoke.

During the volcanic eruption in the
Hawaiian islands last summer the
smoke rose to a height of between five
and six miles and then drifted away to
the northeast. AT u distance Of GOO
miles from Hawaii it settled upon the
surface of the sea, and was then car
ried back by the northeast wind to its
place OF origin, where it arrived fort
night after its original departure, and
covered the entire group of islands

HOW THE DOCTOR GOT THERE.
Not Always an Easy Trip for q
Maine Physician to Reach
His Patients.

The other day country physician
received call to go from his place
into lumber camp in the far Brassua
region, and it was such call as doc
tor cannot well refuse. So he went to
West Cove on Moosehead with a big
coat and wearing leggins and shoe
packs, as the low moccasins are called.
A lumberman was there and this
man had made arrangements to carry
the doctor up as far as West Outlet
on a handcar on the Canadian Pacific
road. They had to stop once and I'M
load the handcar on to their backs i'll
a gully so that freight train could go
past.
Above West Outlet a certain por-
ton of the lake surface was free OF
snow and the doctor and the woods
man guide strapped on their skates and
started. There were numerous ''wrin-
llles," huge bullying riffs in the ice
where the moving OF the mighty sur
face had met and made ruin. When
they came to one of these wrinkles
the woodsman went ahead and prodded
and polied until he found place where
they could cross.
1t is possible that more men have
been drowned in the waters of Moose
head by carelessness in crossing wrin-
kles than by any other cause.
BY the time they got to the mouth
of Moose river the doctor was obliged
to own to his sturdy companion that
he was fair tuckered. The man had n
moose sled there in the bushes. He
had left it when he had come out after
the doctor. He piled the medicine man
on with his case, wrapped him in blan-
kets and set away along the tote road.
There was no team out, for there was
much uncertainty as to when the doc
tor would be able to get along.
When he could he walked. The rest
of the time he rode. The tough little
man of the woods seemed in no wise
wearicd. He told the doctor that it
was easy enough to make those kind
of tri ps when one was toughened to it..
In the camp was one of the bosses
who had been caught in a snub line
and who had had most of the flesh on
the calf of his leg rasped off by the
cruel cable.
The doctor did what he could for the
sufferer. Before he finished his labors
there messenger came from a camp
ten miles above. They had learned that
physician was in the section and
they wanted him. Ten men were down
with grip and colds and two had pneu'
monia. So the doctor went up to that
camp. There was nothing else to do.
He says that if he had refused
he guesses they would have loaded
him on a sled willy-nilly and would
have taken him along. He came out
after six days in the woods.-Lewis-
ton Journal.

GOOD FEEDING TROUGH.
Chicks Cannot Get Into 1t with Their

tents Unfit for Use.

Young chickens should always have
their food fresh and clean, and where
they can run to it at will. To accom-

are determined, when possible, to get
into the feed dish with their feet,
scratch out the contents and otherwise

opening a can of fish or other canned
stuff you will cut out one-half of the
top in order to empty out the contents

this purpose. Remove the half of the

LICE AND PARASITES,
Close Vigilance Is Necessary to Keep
Fowls and Poultry Houses Free
from Their Attack.

There are numerous parasites that
prey on fowls, and which are not dis
cernible to the naked eye An instance
may be given in case of scaly leg,
which everyone who has bred poultry
is familiar with. To an observer il
is simply a roughness of the legs, but
it gradually accumtllates until the legs
are double the ordinary thickness.
This accumulation of scale is the work
of millions of parasites, which store
up matter on the legs as industrously
as the coral insect works on the reefs.
yet the closest examination will not
reveal their presence. Other kinds of
parasites cause skin and bowel dis
cases. and other ailments, while lice
take advantage of the work Of the
parasites and assist in enfeebling the
condition of the birds. There are so
many different kinds of lice and para
sites that the closest vigilance is nee
essary in order to keep the poultry
houses and birds free from attack.
Fortunately we can partially prevent
the difficulty by the free use Of kero-
sene oil, carbolc acid, whitewash, etc.
No matter how free the birds NAV an.
pear to be from attack the precau-
tons should never be neglected. At
this season, when thousands of young
chicks will soon be Matched, the field
of operations is broader and the liza
bility to attack increased, hence il
the chicks are to be raised -Sthey
should be examined frequently
