The No-Fence Law and the Grade of
Live Stock.

Messrs. Editors: In an article of
June Goth, by Mr.. W. G. Smith, of
CasweI County, N. O., is a compar-
ison of the conditions of the country
after some twenty-five years of "No
Fence Law" with the conditions pre-
vious to that date.
If we understand Mr.. Smith, he
intimates very strongly that he
would favor a return to the old way
fence the crop and turn the cattle
outq
causes which brought about the "No
Fence Law" (viz., the improvement
of both stock and lands), has failed
In either case-that stock have not
been improved and lands have be-
come poorer. As to the breed and
general condition of stock now COM
pared with the period of fence law,
the writer remembers too little to
state anything definite of his own
knowledge, but believes that Mr..
Smith could find many who do re-
member, differing from him in this
particular. However, it has fallen
to our lot to sojourn a short while
in one of the counties of the "sandy
district" in which the cattle still run
at large. as of old. and if this is the
grade of stock such a state of affairs
insures, let our eyes never again be-
hold the same. Talk about "long
neck cows" "razor back sows," and
pigs drinking out of a jug-but I
tell you it's no myth down there.
Mr. Smith asserts that with due
notice, it would not be very much
trouble for anyone to have his culti-
waited land fenced now that wire is
cheap. We beg to differ from Mr..
Smith right here. and to offer a be-
lief that a demand of this kind ON

PUBLICATIONS.
Eliminating the

lobber doesn't mean dispensing
with him, Advertising which
appeals to the public eliminates
the power of the jobber to make
or unmake your products, to
appreciate or dcpreciatc their
quality, and it makes him far
more useful to you as a dlstrlb-
utter of goods.
The jobber is indifferent to any
but his own interests. Why
should you expect him to be
more consideratc of your best
interests than you are YOURSELF
Why should you expect him TO
especially push your goods when
you fail to avail yourself of SO
simple and natural method as
advertising
The jobber should be useful,
but should never be necessary.
The public, the consumer, Is
the only element which is ALSO
Iutcly necessary to the success OF

If you are not advertising to
