With the wire fence as cheap as it is
today, there is really no excuse for
using any other material for the pur-
pose Of inclosing the farm and dividing
the fields. And, it matters not whether
it is sheep, hog, horse or cattle fence
which is required, the wire, either
woven or barbed, is still the cheapest

orange hedge have all been made back

Three years ago reader of these
notes, mechanic living in western
city, wrote inquiring where he had
better go to get cheap farm. He said
that he had a wife and six children
and had managed to save up about
$1,000, but thought that If he could get
piece Of good cheap land he could
greatly better his chances. He was q
Scandinavian, and, as Is always the
case with people Of this nationality, not
only he himself, but his good wife and
the children, were industrious workers.
We recommended him to go and take a
look at the cheap lands .of southern
Missouri. We had forgotten all about
the matter until few days since, when
we received a letter from him from his
home in Missouri expressing his thanks
for being directed to that locality. He
said he now had good farm Of 2S0
acres, one half heavy oak timber, the
other half under cultivation, was great
~ pleased with the country and was
doing fine. He said that they had all
worked very hard, but had much to
show for it-fne crops, lots Of fruit and
a marked increase in the value Of his
land. He sent samples of the corn
grown by him the past season, which
was very fine indeed. Other men, being
alike willing to work, can doubtless do
AUST as well as has done our friend.

No cereal is so cosmopolitan as the
wheat plant. 1t does well in Texas
and at Medicine Hat, in Mexico and
Manitoba; it has no limitations Of
longitude, but few as to soils and sea-
sons, and is more Indifferent to the limi-
tations Of a varying rainfall than any
other cereal. 1t only demands virgin
soil, a hundred days of growing wealth
er and enough rain to keep its feet wet.

Students Must Have High Ideal.

Whatever the students bent, what
ever his ultimate intention in the way
of practice may be, the same simple
rules will hold good He must be ear
nest in his desire to learn and he must
never be contented with partially I'M
derstanding. He must be methodical,
working according to a plan and ready
to sacrifice his personal pleasures and
comforts to carry out that plan. And
he must keep before him high ideal of
his professional duties, ever remember
ing that his mission is to prevent dis
ease and heal the sick. He has Joined
an altruistic profession, one where the
rewards are often incommensurate al
together with the labors. but one where
his power Of doing good if thoroughly
and lntelligently eXerted will be great

Ant Communication.

Sir James Boyle, the great Irish nat
uralist, always contended that ants had
a language of their own, by which they
made known their wants and fears to
others of their kind. One day he en-
countered colony that was evidently
moving to new quarters. All appeared
in the very best of spirits, and when
ever two met the naturalist noted that
they put their heads together as though
chatting very earnestly. To settle the
matter in his own mind as to whether
they were really talking or not he
killed one of them to observe the effect
it would have on the others. The eye
witnesses to the murder fastened to
the rear and halted every one Of the
advancing column by laying their an
tennae together. The column instant
ly separated to the right and the left,
none of the marchers afterward pass
ing within less than six feet of their
dead companion, though the remains
of the insect were directly in the beat
en- path.

webster.s wit.

Most men of weight dislike the frail
gilt and satin chairs which accidental
ly fall to their lot in a crowded draw
ing room. They were in use in MIR.
Webster's time. At an evening recep-
ton given to some western lawyers
soon after the accession of President
Tyler and the dissolution of President
Harrisons cabinet Mr. Stanberry, late
attorney general, was accompanied by
his bashfuI friend, Mr.. Leonard, who
Immediately retired to corner and
selected this gilded trife as resting
place. In order to withdraw still far
Their from notice he tilted the frail
structure backward Down it went,
smashed into dozen pieces, and Leon
ard the embarrassed was Leonard the
observed by all. Mr.. Webster imme-
diately rushed to the rescue of his I'M
fortunate guest and raised him from
the floor with the reassuring remark,
"Why, my dear Mr.. Leonard, you
should have remembered that no cabi-
net work would hold together here"

Chinese Swine.

The American swine of today are
very different from their English an
cestOrs, which few centuries ago con-
Stituted one of the chief sources Of
British wealth. The Improvement in
the race is largely due to the introduc-
ton of the Chinese and Neapolitan
breeds. The crossing of the former up
on the English hog has resulted in the
production of the Berkshire, Essex, Po-
land-China, Small Yorkshire and Suf-
folk breeds. The Chinese hog is re-
markably prepotent as is shown by the
tendency of the modern breeds to re-
vert to the original type This is doubt
less owing to the many centuries of in
breeding which have so firmly fixed it's
characteristics. One Of the most i'm
portant of these is it's propensity to
fatten under the most adverse circum-
stances. This superabundance of fat
prevents the flesh of this breed being
highly esteemed in this country, but it
has had a most valuable effect in modi-
flying the lean, gaunt hogs of England,
while the Neapolitan has added delica-
cy of flavor. The original Chinese hog
is a very peculiar shape. 1t has a
long body, with short legs, very heavy
jOwls, small prick ears, short head,
neck and snout and the eyes wide
apart. In color it is white Or black or
a mixture of both, with the white pre-
dominating.

A hInd Voice.

These is no power of love SO hard to
get and to keep as a kind voice. A
kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may
be rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of soft heart and do it with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as a sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels,
and it is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone One must start in youth
and be on the watch night and day, at
work and at play, to get and keep a
voice that shall speak at all times the
thoughts of kind heart It is often in
youth that one gets voice or a tone
that is sharp, and IL sticks to him
through life and stirs up ill will and
grief and falls like a drop of gall on
the sweets of home. Watch it day by
day as pearl of great price, for it will
be worth more to you in days to come
than the best pearl hid in the seas. A
kind voice is to the heart what light is
to the eye. 1t is light that sings as
we'll as shines.-Elihu Burritt.

When Every One Is Beautiful.

1t has been said in cold print that
men and women are growing more and
more beautiful and that the progress
of civilization, the better understand
ing of the laws of health, is to bring a
time when all of us will be of abso-
lutely perfect beauty-or, rather, not
us, but our ultimate remote descend
ants. 1t is little difficult to feel envy,
hatred and malice for ones descend
ants, but this news is enough to in
duce that evil state of mind. However,
the prospect affects one writer quite
otherwise After all, says she, our
lovely descendants will not have so
gay a time. For if every one is good
looking, what on earth is the good of
being good looking? So, after all, there
are some advantages in living now
adays Few of us have no dear friends
uglier than ourselves. What is the use
of a friend if she is not little-well,
plain?

Boomerang Testimonials.

The oriental point of view is an in
structive one, as is shown by the fol-
lowing:
At Allahabad, India, there has just
been issued the report of the Hospital
For Women, and the Pioneer of that
city prints couple Of graceful letters
quoted in the report. The first address
ed the lady at the head of the institu-
ton thus:
Dear She-My wife has returned from
your hospital cured. Provided males are
allowed at your bungalow, I would like
to do you the honor of presenting myself
there this afternoon, but will not try to
repay you-vengeance belongeth unto God.
Yours noticeably.
The second was in a strain Of even
more punctilious courtesy. It ran:
Dear and Fair Madam-I have much
pleasure to inform you that my dearly
unfortunate wife will be no longer under
your kind treatment she having left this
world for the other the night of the 9th
ult. For your help in this matter I shall
ever remain grateful. Yours reverently.
