Idea, and especially If the sections
We're of greater dimensions than those
given, to run brace from corner TO
corner diagonally to give additional
stiffness The corners should be well
fastened and the frame Is then cover
ed with wire netting. Three planks are
fastened to the bottom Of the frame at
Intervals, as shown, and braced with a
strip from the frame to the planks
These planks will hold the section up
right and prevent 1t from sinking into
the mud. Several sections can be
quickly made after the same pattern
and hooked together at the corners the
desired length. These movable fences
would be especially valuable in the
spring, where numbers Of chicks were
to be raised and 1t was desired to keep
them In Enclosures. II used to surround
chicks, a wire of a finer mesh would
need to be used,-Indlanapolis NewA

Some time ago 1t was shown that
one weakness of the present oleomar-
garine law. the use of some ingredient
which made It possible to avoid the
law against the use Of coloring mat
ter. was working hardships on butter
makers but reports generally indicate
that the law was wise one, and prove
beyond all question that consumers do
want oleomargarine. 1t was held by
the opponents of the Grout bill that
the public demand was 30 great that
to place any restrictions on the meth
DDS of marketing oleo would be to
drive out Of the market q meritorIous
article. Those who upheld the bill
claimed that II oleo had any merit of
its own 1t should be sold on that merit,
and not disguised as butter. The law
as enforced has shown that by far the
greater number Of those who used
cleo did 50 because they assumed 1t was
butter, the color helping to carry out
the deception. Oleo may be nutritious
and have great merit, but 1t LIS evident
that few people desire 1t or will buy 1t
when they have full knowledge that it
is not from the product Of the cow.
The Grout bill has benefited farmer
and consumer alike. and any attempt
which Is likely to be made this coming
session of Congress to modify Its pro-
visions should be fought hard by farm
ers and dairymen If butter must be
sold ON Its merits, why not oleo. also?

On most farms there Is wornout
pasture or 4 newly-cleared piece Of
ground thick in underbrush or sprouts
which would make ideal runs for
swine. A good plan is to fence on a
portion Of such places so that the AMI
mails will not run Off the flesh as fast
as It is put on, build some sort Of a
rough house No they will be protected
from storms and turn them loose to
root and grub. Many a pasture that
was supposed to be worthless has been
rendered At for resceding after drove
Of hogs had occupied it one summer.
Much of the living can be picked UP
on the range In the manner suggested
and the swine will be in fine shape to
take on fat when the proper time
comes to confine them more closely.

features of the day We're the speeches
OF Mr. Grosvenor, OF Ohio. who opened
the discussion in advocacy of the bill,
and Of Mr.. Fordney Gepublican), Of Mich
igan, who spoke in opposition.

hour, during which time he was fire.

mating from the democratic side, Mr..
Fordney and two Of his republican col
leagues from Michigan spoke III opposi-
ton to the bill Mr. Fordney enlphati-
cally expressed his disapprova of the
measure. Among others who spoke in

California, democrats, and Messrs. Nc
Moran and Loud, the latter two repub-
leans from Michigan.

NJ. Grosyenor observed that nothing
) would be more destructive than to have
the democrats come into power, but that
was an impossiblity for the next two
years
Replying to the remarks of Mr.. Swan
son, of Virginia, he said there need be
no fear OF retaliation from a country
which could not live ninety days with
out purchasing food supplies from the
outside.
Answering a statement made by Mr.
Clark, of Missouri as to conditions ex-
listing when Nj Cleveland went in as
president Mr.. Grosvenor said:
Immediately upon the election Of
Cleveland. there was practically sup
preston of the income Of the revenues
OF the government into the treasury OF
the United States. 1t was natural; it
was inevitable. 1t would happen again
if somebody other than Roosevelt should
be elected president next year"
While speaking of the prospects for
the democratic party ME- Clark, of Mis-
souri,, asked If Mr.. GrosYenor knew that
OF the nineteen men convicted in ST.,

but if that is true. it don't speak well
for the fairness Of the administration Of
justice" Loud applause followed on tho
