Since the Stats can be a adjusted to any
unevenness of the ground, it is possible
to exclude anything that a fence can
reasonably be expected to turn.
The second type is made of shorter
Stats, three or four inches long, and
these may be supplemented above by
one or more wires stretched from post
to post. j. @. A. Rahm has built such
a fence about his nursery. He uses
Stats three feet long, none less than
half an inch thick, and sets his posts
in spring, waiting until hot weather In
August and September before putting
I'D the Stats in order to have the wire
fully expanded at the start. The wires
are simply crossed between the Stats
and are kept taut, while building, by
a barrow loaded with about LOCO
pounds of stone and placed 100 to 4OC
wards ahead of the workmen. Near
the barrow the wires are secured tC
q single tree made of a piece of stout
timber, a log chain being passed around

Rabbits are very easily caught, not
withstanding their well known Gun

of rough fence boards six inches wild

are nailed together so as to make al

RAVAGES OF RABBITS
Loss Caused by the Little Root
ers Is Quite Serious.

In many of the less closely settled
regions of our country, when SHOWS
are deep, and food scarce, rabbits de-
velop into a serious pest by gnawing
the bark of fruit trees Some items
about this trouble from u recent bulle'
ting by II. Garman, of the Kentucky
station, may, therefore, not come
amiss.
When the nursery is small it is pos
sible to iuclose it with a close slat
fence that will turn rabbits and
serve all the purposes of the ordinary
fences required to keep out stock. In
timbered countries, where rabbits are
most troublesome, fences of this char
acter may be cheaply built. Two types

feet long and about three inches in

together from one to two inches apart
with No. II wire, stout posts being SCI
at intervals of 10 to 16 feet to insure

You cannot feed moldy hay, bad

will get you into trouble and will of
itself prevent you from making high

filled with milk in a silo for an hour;
then, if you take it out and heat it,

A WONDERFUL CURE.

Wright City, Mo-, Dec. 3o.-Med-
ical men are still wondering over the
Symes case, which has aroused such
a widespread interest in this neigh
borhood.
Mr.. Joseph G. Symes had suffered
very severely with Infammatory Rheu-
matism, enduring pains which were
something terrible, and which made
it altogether impossible for him to
work by day or rest or sleep at night.
In spite of all treatments he grew
worse and his case seemed to defy all
the usual remedies.
He began a treatment Of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and very soon noticed a
marked improvement, which increased
as he kept on till six boxes were used,
when he found himself without a trace
of pain or ache. He is now able tc
work all day and sleep all night, and
his rapid and complete recovery is re
garded by the doctors as little short
of a miracle.

ON vacation, and drawing my pay all
the while. They can't 'vacate' too
often to please me, and the other
employees feel the same way about it,"
While the congress is absent from
the capitol building there are a few
statesmen and employees who are hard
at work, and their labors are of the
greatest Importance. The chairman
of the house committee on appropria-
tions, Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, and the
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations, Mr.. Allison, of Iowa,
are working on the details of the per-
manent appropriation bills; those
which require especial attention every
wear at their hands. And with them
are the clerks Of their committees, Mr..
Courts and Mr.. Cleaves; two gentlemen
who have handled appropriation bills
for so many years that their services
are exceptionally valuable to the coun-
try, as well as to the congress. They
never take vacations for the Christ
mas holidays, MOI for any other holt
days while the congress is in session.
Moreover, those employees work on the
details of appropriation bills during
the long vacations when the statesmen
are away from this city for months at
a time. They have no time to acquire
the habit of too much resting.
During the past 20 years the annual
appropriations for the expenses Of the
government have increased from $780,

clerks are charged with great and
grave responsibilities. While the
senators and representatives are TAX
ing their vacations and giving heed
usually only to those matters which
concern their states and districts.
these diligent and faithful public serv'
ants are looking after the income and
outgo of the government. When the
committees on appropriations make
their reports on the great appropria'
ton bills, the congress adopts those
reports and acts in accordance with
their recommendations.
1t is a popular fallacy that every
member of congress carefully studies
these matters. They do nothing of the
kind. They know practically no more
about the appropriation bills for
which they vote than the people do at
home, who never see the bills. They
take it for granted that what the chair
man of each committee reports is all

Regard Peruna as Their Shield Against Catarrh,
Coughs, Colds and Catarrhal Diseases.

Catarrh is an old cold. Even the
strongest and most robust are liable
to colds during the winter months.
A cold, if neglected, is almost certain
to cause catarrh of the head, which
rapidly spreads through the system,
setting up catarrh of the throat, lungs,
stomach or pelvic organs. What a
host of winter ailments would be pre-
vented by a preventive as well as a cure

succuIent Rations for Cows.

A successful feeder of dairy COWS
must have some succulent feed for his
animals at all times of the year.
Whether inter- or summer the change
from succulent feed to dry fodder
means loss. The usual summer feeder
wishes that his blue grass pasture
would continue throughout the sum-
mer. The man that has summer silage
to feed has the equivalent of a blue
grass pasture at it's best, even in the
midst of the summer drought. Our
best dairymen are coming to believe
that silage is profitable to be fed every
month in the year.-Farmers' Review.

for colds,
Peruna is such a remedy. If taken
at the first symptom of catching cold
it heals the catarrhal condition before
it becomes established and makes i'm
possible a spread of the disease.
Should the cold be neglected and re-
suit in catarrh, Peruna will cure, but
it will take much longer and will result
in much unnecessary suffering.

All vegetables keep better at a low
temperature and, excepting in the Sc
verest weather, the cellar window
may be kept open during the day, at
least, If 1t is on the south side. 1t
also helps to keep the cellar sweet
and fresh. We know there is no need
of an ill-smelling cellar. Vegetables
properly buried and an open window
