Coyote Proof Fence.

Fencing the range to protect sheep
from the attacks of predatory animals
has met with excellent results in the
Wallowa National Forest, Oregon. The
problem was to find a strong fence
that would make the sheep secure,
even without the care of a herder.
The chosen fence, which is built of
woven wire, with barbed wire on the
top, has kept out all the minor ami
mails, such as wild cats, lynXes and
coyotes, but has not withstood the at
lacks OF the grizzlies which are ap-
parently able to get through it with
little trouble
Sheep numbering 1900 head were
placed in the enclosure with their
lambs upon June goth and have been
allowed to Craze at their free will,
with no attention whatever from any
herder. They have done splendidly
and as far as the observation of those
in charge of the experiment goes, a
given area grazed by sheep under such
conditions will carry more sheep per
acre than one grazed under the charge
of herder.
Tracks along the fence show that
predatory animals come to the fence
constantly, and follow it around but,
with the exception of the bears, do not
seem able to enter.
The hunter employed by the service
for hunting predatory animals in the
vicinity of this fenced enclosure has
killed no less than six large grizzlies
this season, besides numerous other
animals of the predatory class.
The results of this experiment are
so satisfactory thus far that private in
dividuals are profiting by it. Mr.. J.
w. Emmons of Troy, Oregon, has a
large area Of private land fenced with
special wire fence in which he has
this season LANDED herd of $40 ewes
without herders care and with very
little attention and great success. Mr.
Emmons is extending his fence. for he
finds that it pays.
Careful record will be kept of the
weights Of lambs raised inside this
fence, with view of comparing then
with the same grade of lambs raised
| outside the fence on the same class OF
range, so that any gains or losses in
weight and growth may be determined

Falling OF of Mail Order Business.

Sears, Roebuck & Company has just
completed the worst years business in
it's recent history.
The business in the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1908, was practically $1O,-
100000 less than in 1907, and over
$S,000,000 less than in 1906. This ter
rife slump in gross sales, from $685.
2S5,000 in 1907 and $50,S61 1853 in 1906
to SAP, 100000 in 1908, came out when
the great corporation made it's pre-
liminary annual report. 1t is admitted
the figures of this years business are
not complete, but approximate.
Net profits were nearly 81 900, 900
less than last year and the company
was compelled to dig into it's surplus
to the tune of 100000.
In other words this mail order house
finishes with its net profits 2S per GEN.
less than in 1907 and Z per cent less
than in 1906. So if merchants that
are obliged to compete with Sears,
Roebuck & Co. believe mail order
houses are having an easy row to hoe,
let them ponder these figures.
Gross Sales 20 Per Cent Less.
This corporation does business In
Chicago, but did not incorporate under
altogether too strict to suit the pur-
poses for which it is organized. 1t
went to New Jersey to secure the
greater liberties that New Jersey cor
poration laws allow. and when the
annual meeting takes place in Jersey
City, Sept. 2Sth, these figures of terrific
loss will be presented to the stock
holders.
Is it any wonder the retail mer-
chants are smiling in their sleeves as
they compare their business for the
year with this terrific slump in the
earnings of their most dangerous COM
petitOr?
The company's bOokkeepers esti-
mate the total loss in gross sales at
$97S5,792 over 1907, or decrease of
over 16 per cent. The following fig
ures given to the stock markets give
the detailed information of the alarm
ing decrease in business.
Here Are the Beal Figures.
The annual report of Sears, Roebuck
& Co. shows a surplus for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1908, of about
$1,7OO,O0O or $SOO0 900 less than that OF
the preceding year Based on avail
able information, the years results
were about as follows:
Gross sales, 1908, $42,500,000; 1907
$53,2S5,792; 1906, $50, 1861, 763. Total in

The following short statement given
out with the figures just quoted, fur
Their explains the falling off:
Panic Times Hit Hard.
The first quarter of the fiscal year
Just closed showed slight decrease
in gross sales, but the second quarter
fell behind rs per cent. The second
half of the fiscal year generally pro-
duces 20 per cent less business than
the first half. In the last six months
there was some recovery from the
panic. but the average decrease for the
period was more than Is per cent. 1t
is safe to estimate the decrease for the
fiscal year at 20 per cent.
The surplus, it will be seen from the
statistics just quoted. shows a de-

According to the figures given that
