One Of the most impressive ceremon-

this morning at ST. Elizabeth's when
hundreds of inmates. attendants. and
visitors participated in the Memorial

cry one a distinction that marked him
as apart from all others on this par

Many of the old soldiers are inmates
of the institution for some simple de-
rangement OF the mind. and their par

pathetic TO watch than those to whom
its significance was lost

DISCARD BARRED WIRE FENCE
Injury to Live Stock, Especially
Horses, Has Brought 1t In
to Disfavor.

Barb wire should not be used as a
fence on any farm, declares the, Farm
ers' Review. There was a time when
it was extensively used in all parts of
the country, but now the smooth wire
has driven out barbed wire very
largely, except on the western ranches.
1t is only occasionally now we see
barbed wire used for fencing in Illi-
nois and adjacent states Here and
there, however, farmer still clings
to the old wire. There is one farm
about 20 miles from Chicago where a
part Of the business is pasturing
horses. The horse pasture there is
fenced In with barbed wire. But it
is very probable that the men who send
their horses to be pastured have no
idea that barbed wire is used for fenc-
ing.
The barb on the wire is of no value
to an animal until he learns by being
wounded that it infiicts pain. 1t in
fiicts pain by causing wound. Blood
poisoning sometimes sets in from
wounds Of this kind, and the animal
dies. All kinds Of animals have been
terribly cut up by barbed wire fences.
Mich cows have had their udders laid
open by trying to climb over such
fences. Even when the top wire is a
smooth one horses frequently get
barbed wire wounds in their legs.
This kind of wound is most COM
mon. The horses push their legs
through the wire and the wound is
made in trying to draw the foot out.
Some of our states have laws
against placing barbed wire fences
along the highways, but in many To-
calities these laws are unknown or
disregarded. The barbed wire fences
cost as much as the smooth wire if we
take into consideration the greater
trouble Of handling the wire and of
putting 1t up. Doubtless many man
has been scratched and blood poison
ing has ensued from handling this
wire. The only difference in cost is
less than the difference in price of
the two wires. Smooth wire may be
taken down and put up again with a
great deal Of facility, but barbed wire
is very difficult to change from one
location to another after it has been
once put up. We are glad to note that
the sentiment against barbed wire is
growing. The time will come when it
will not be used either in thickly set
tied states or in sparsely settled ones.
