Hurry, like cyclone, whiils
you along at a rate that
quickly exhausts your energy,
and leaves you a nerveless,
wretched, broken-down phys

Worry accomplishes the
same results in another way.
1t drags you through the dark,
gloomy tunnel of forbodings,
wrecks your nerves and breaks
down the constitution.
Then don't hurry; don't
worry. But you will; and
your nerveless, exhausted con-
dition brings headaches, neu-
ralgia, heart, stomach, liver
and kidney troubles. The thing
to do is: Strengthen the nerves

AL the present time board fences
for pigs are out OF the question anC!
barb wire fences are not q success.
combination of barb wire and wire
netting makes the best and cheapest
fence that can be erected at present.
The main thing is to get good posts
set deep in the ground, particularly
the corner posts, so that they will
not lean and loosen the wire. The
posts should not be set more than
a rod apart
should first draw a thickset barb
wire close to tho ground. this viii
prevent pigs from working holes UNI
der the fence; next put on two-f foot
wire netting fence drawn tight. About
four to six inches above this draw
another thckset barb wire. Draw
1t tight but not so tight as TO loosen
the woven Wore. over all put on
third barb wire about breast high
to keep out the stock and you have
a fence good for twenty years II you
have used good material ard done
your work properly. A pig Is an easy
animal to confine if it never acquires
the habit of getting out SO build
