Schemes to Defraud.

One of the latest plans of travelling
agents to defraud the people residing
in the country is the wire fence deal.
Lately number of travelling agents
have been working in different west
ern states. They represent to the
farmer that they will install an eight
strand wire fence with iron posts
for only eight cents foot. No money
is asked in advance, but a promisory
note is given that upon the compile
ton of the fence the same will be
paid for at the agreed price per foot.
After the fence is put in position the
farmer finds that his note has been
placed in the local bank for collection,
and that instead of he securing his
fence for eight cents per foot, it is
eight cents per wire foot" which
makes it 81 cents per foot. This is
purely a modification of the old light
ming rod swindle. 1t hardly ever pays
the farmer to have dealings with trav-
cling agents who make extraordinary
promises as to the goods they hap
to dispose Of

Try for Factories.

Small manufacturing plants are de-
sirable factors in the business of any
town. There must be employment
for the residents of a city or town,
and any means of supplying this need
is commendable. But there is one
thing that many citizens do not take
into consideration, and that is, 1t Is
better for the citizens of a town to
build up industries already establish
ed than to strive to gain new indus
tries. A manufacturing plant is ben
eficial to a place in accordance with
its payroll and its output of goods
that bring a revenue to the town.
Some small concerns that will EN-.
ploy a dozen hands will have a pay
roll of perhaps $35 or $40 day. The
value of its products may amount to
$4,000 or $4,000 annually, all de-
pendent upon the character of the
business. But what is most consid-
cred is the payroll. From the aver.
age small town 1t is estimated that
trade lost, and which goes to large cit.
les through the mails, is more than
800 day. II citizens of q commu-
nifty would retain this 500 day and
do their trading in the home town, it
is evident that it would be twice as
beneficial as the small factory that
has payroll of $40 or $50 daily.

TO SET STACK OF HAY.
Directions for Building It So That

Setting stack of hay appears sim.

experience with 1t, but those who
have had quite little hay spoil" by
the rain soaking into an improperly

like to have in everything else-after
the stack is few feet high, writes
successful Wisconsin farmer in Farm
ers' Review. We first carry the
nearest hay cocks by hand with two
light poles between the stack founda-
ton. A cock is set on each corner.
and as many between and in the CEN
ter as we have ROOM After these have
been made even, my systematic stack
ing begins. Some more hay having
been carried to the incipient stack
or hauled down with wagon. as is
most convenient, one man pitches it
onto the stack, while l commence at
one corner to lay a layer of hay
around the outside of the stack. Il
aim to stay away for several feet
from the outside so they will stay
loose and thus settle more than the
central portion.

side has been finished. I start an

as some one might understand from
the above.) The greater the slant the
better. This depends somewhat on
what kind of hay is being stacked.
With prairie and marsh hay the de-
cline from the center to the outside
cannot be SO steep as with tame
hay without the first layer slipping
out. >
After the first course another one
is started on the outside and this is
continued until the stack is finished.
like to start my stacks consider
ably narrower than they are to be.
and afterwards keep on widening
them. till near where they must be
narrowed again.
The drawing In" should be gradual,
SO that water will not have chance
to soak in anywhere on the side.
There is perhaps not much trouble
here. though. for I think the rains
generally soak in from the top of an
improperly made stack. This comes
about by the center not having been
kept high enough nor tight enough.
