land Live Stock Convention When
Speaking of Forest Reserves

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 15.-The
principal address before the National
Livestock convention today was that
of Governor Heber NJ. Wells of Utah.
Mr.. Wells said:
Mr.. President, delegates of the ma
tional livestock convention, and ladies
and gentlemen: The subject allotted
to me-that OF Forest Reserves-is in
teresting by reason of the large num-
ber of nice and good things you can
not say about 1t. In it's study and dis
cussion one is constantly exhilarated
with the knowledge that even If its
purposes are all that it's devotees wish
for ii, there are still untold aspects
which must be left to the imagination.
1t is broad as a politicians promise,
and in some of it's benefits quite as
ephemeral In its practical applica-
tton it has been known to propose the
conservation of that which does not
exist; and in its magnificent scheme of
economy it suggests that we be denied

at a later date to expect something we
may not get; or it may be likened to

To Move Wire Fences.

It often becomes necessary to move
a fence from one part Of the farm to
another. It is simple matter to move
posts, but the wire presents a more
difficult problem. The most common
method is to slowly and laboriously
roll it up on barrel, haul it to the
place where it is wanted and as slowly
unroll it again. A much better and
quicker way is to take q couple Of old
wheels, the larger the better, and fas-
ten them together by mailing pieces of
board to the spokes next the axle.
The wheels when fastened together
should be about two feet apart. Now
take two planks and fasten firmly to
the sides Of the wagon box SO they
will extend backward about four feet.
Mount the wheels on these planks so
they will turn easily. Fasten one end
Of the wire to one Of the boards that
connect the wheels and drive astride
Of the wire. One man turns the wheel
while the other drives, and the wire
can be rolled up as fast as the team

Overdone Gardening.

One Of the misfortunes Of garden
lovers is that they frequently plan &c
do more work than can be carried On
successfully. Almost every one who
builds a house thinks he would like
to have nice garden, and the nice
garden is consequently arranged But
when it is found, as 1t too often is
found, that it requires an expensive
wages bill to keep the place in good
order, what was expected to be a
pleasure becomes an annoyance and
a bore. A small place, well cared for,
and everything kept up nice and or
derby gives far more satisfaction
than an oyergrown place that is drag
on the means Of It's owner. IN all our
we are too apt to think we
can do more than we really can. In
gardening matters tits especially SO.
