POOR GRADE WIRE FENCE.

In discussing the short life of the
modern wire fence Farm, Stock and
Home has this to say:
ut isNan esta blished fact that much
of the galvanized wire of today fails
Ito stand the test of weathering as
we'll as fence wire manufactured
some years ago. A modern wire fence
is too often a short-lived affair; the
wire readily rusts in spots and then
breaks. Scientists claim that the
cause of the poor wire is due to the
presence of an excessive amount of
another metal, or manganese, which
causes electrical disturbances in the
wire, resulting in the rusting of the
iron at those places where the man.
ganese fails to be equally distributed.
The poor lasting qualities of much of
our wire fence has become serious
matter and it is to be hoped that the
manufacturers will aim to remedy the
difficulty and that we may again Sc.
cure the old fashioned quality Of iron
wire fence.

A Nevada Verdict.

A Chicago lawyer tells how the
most popular man in Nevada town
got into difficulty with a disreputa-
BILE tough-for long time the ter
ror of the place-and proceeded to
"do him up in manner entirely
satisfactory to the community at
large. 1t becoming necessary, how
ever, to vindicate the majesty of the
law the offender was brought up for
trial on the charge of assault with
intent to kill. The case soon went
to the jury. When they had been
out about two minutes they returned.
"Well. gentlemen of the jury"
asked the Judge in familiar, of
hand way, what have you to say?"
"If it pleases the Court" respond
ed the foreman, 1--WE the Jury find
that the prisoner is not guilty of
strikin' with intent to kill, but sim
ply to paralyze, an he done it."
So the prisoner was acquitted

GOAT RAISING PAYS.

In the United States there are, It
is estimated, about 100000 goats
says the Chicago Journal Nearly two
f1fths of these are Angoras. The rest
are of various imported breeds, cross
breeds and mongrels. Many Ameri-
can farmers keep a few goats with
their sheep, it being we'll known that
dogs will not readily modest a flock
containing goat or two.
The climate and soil of most of the
States are well fitted for the raising
of goats, and as a goat costs for prop.
er maintenance only about one-eighth
as much as a COW and yields a sur
prising number and amount of pro-
ducts there is little doubt that COM
petent goat raising in this country,
especially in the vicinity of large
cities, would prove exceedingly re-
munerative.
The chief things to be remembered
in this connection are that good breeds
are essential to success, and that al
though the goat will thrive almost
anywhere and stand any amount of
cold, it does best on dry land and
when kept reasonably warm

APPLE GROWING.

The statement of our fathers that
better apples were grown when they
were boys than now, is doubtless a
truth that cannot be denied, and the
reasons for the same are not very
difficult to find With the relentless
destruction of the forests, the cult
walton of the land for grain crops, and
the passing of the rich virgin soil has
come climate not only more severe
but much more erratic than formerly,
more insects and disease to COMBAT,
and a soil that has become practical
iy exhausted so far as available plant
food. which makes possible both tree
and fruit production, is concerned. In
fact, the trees of today are surrounded
by entirely different environments
ihan were those of fifty and sixty
years ago, and because of these chang
ed conditions present day fruit grow
ers have an entirely different problem
to solve from that which confronted
our fathers and grandfathers. n Old
days There was little need OF science
in fruit growing, but now the reason
why certain methods of culture are
necessary, which were not heard OF
in early +sines, is as important to the
progressive and successful orchardlst
as is the mere matter of how. Con-
ditinns require science to play an i'm
portant part in apple culture as we'll
as in ali other business on the farm.
Many Of our readers are already
aware that the cultivated apple is not
a native of this country, but like most
of our orchard fruits, was introduced
into this country by early settlers,
from Europe and Asia. In dts origi-
nal home the process of cultivation
and Improvement has been going On
for thousands of years, and the va
rieties which we know today are the
product of centuries of horticultural
skill in selection, -pollination and
hybridization well directed for the
characteristics of the fruit which, for
best results, requires more or less fav-
orable conditions as regards both soil
and climate, although having most
wonderful power of adapting itself to
different environments. In different
countries and different states one may
easily find localities which are natur-
ally adapted to fruit growing, while
other portions are better adapted to
the growing of grain and hay, these
conditions being due either to climatic
influences or to the character OF the
soil or both.-Prof. ]. Troop, in the
Indiana Farmer.

PIGS AND THE THUMBS.

When a pig goes wrong it is pretty
hard to get it started right again.
Pigs need exercise If they won't take
it, get after them and compel them to-
Thumps is one of the worst complaints
which trouble early pigs. The way
to prevent them is to cut down the
rations, and compel the pigs to get
out into the sunshine and run about.
The pig that rs greedy eater, and
lays around in the nest, is the one
that usually has the hardest case Of
thumps. Get them to eating some
green stuff, and keep them away from
the sows for two or three hours q

Temnerature OF Mars.

been the extremely low temperature
probably obtaining on the Marian
surface, but Professor Lowell shows
that by taking all the phenomena
into consideration this obstacle may
be removed. Previous calculations
of the temperature have been de-
duced solely from the relative dis
lance of Mars from the sun, and a
recent investigation gave S3 degrees
Fahrenheit as mean temperature of
the planet He finally deduces, by
taking all known factors into ac-

A SMALL SECRET
Couldn't Understand the Taste of his
Customers.

Two men were discussing the
various food products now being sup
piled in such variety and abundance.
One, a grocer, said II frequently
try package or so of any certain
article before offering it to my trade,
and in that way sometimes form a
different idea than my customers
have.
For instance, thought would
try Postum Food Coffee. to see what
reason there was for such a call for
it. At breakfast / didn't like it and
supper proved the same, so / natur-
ally concluded that my taste was diff
ferent from that of the customers
who bought it right along.
A day or two after, waited on a
lady who was buying Csc package
and told her couldn't understand
how one could fancy the taste of Pos
tum.

on the stove for just fifteen minutes,
and ten minutes of that time it SIM

FOOD FOR CHICKS.

An excellent green food for young
chicks can easily be provided through
oats. A half bushel of oats should
be placed in shallow box so that the
entire mass is two to four inches
deep. This should be slprinhled with
water daily until the seeds have be-
come saturated when they will sprout
and continue to send up tender green
shoots. Very young stock may be
fed the shoots only, while older chicks
can be given seed and all.-Indiana

The Smallest OF All Fish.

The most diminutive vertebrate
creature in the world is said to be
a small fish caught in mountain
lake in the Luzon region of the
Philippines.
The largest of the species is less
than an inch long, but its smallness
may be best gagged by the fact that
it takes about 5000 of them to make
a pound. Although so tiny, however,
the fish, which is~named sinarapan,
is an important article of diet among
the Philippine natives. Obviously
It is too small for any net and is
caught in course muslin sheets.
The fish are prepared by being
mixed with pepper and other spices
and then dried in the sun. They are
a great native delicacy.

poultry and eggs are the cheapest

ton of nicely fattened, well fleshed

more than offset the difference in

GROWING BACON HOGS.

Glover pasture greatly reduces the
cost of feed, and stimulates a greater
growth and vigor in the pigs than is
possible to secure in confinement.
The pigs should not be had to come
in early spring and disposed of in
November. At seven months they
can be made to weigh between 1870
and 200 pounds Only breeding stock
should be kept through the winter.
A bacon breed should be kept in
preference to lard breed for the
reason that in the absence Of corr a
first class lard hog cannot be pro-
duced, while the feed that produces
the choicest bacon can be grown in
abundance-bar peas, clover,
roots, etc.
