FENCE THE LAND.

A man who generally keeps pretty
ness circles in the northwest tells
The Herald that because of a fight
among the producers of fence wire
that commodity is now cheaper than
it has ever been, and that fence posts
likewise are remarkably low, and that
for this reason the present is an ex.
cellent time for farmers to do fencing
on a big scale. Those who have not
followed the subject will probably be
surprised to learn of the low price in
posts, as the slashing down of the
forests has made havoc with every
thing made of wood. But we are in
formed that the high prices of few
years ago led to the cutting of i'm
mense quantities of posts and also Of
cord wood in the northern Minnesota
woods, and that the market was over
stocked, the result being a marked
drop in prices.
That farms must be fenced is now
admitted by everyone. There was a
time when fencing was considered OF
very little use. A small enclosure
was thought desirable for the work
horses, but in many cases this was
dispensed with, and the picket rope
did duty instead. The COW was
rarity, and little attention was paid
to her, and other domestic animals
were about as little known as ele-
plants.
Now all that is changed. We have
skinned the cream of the farms, and
most of us understand that something
must be done to retain the fertility
that still remains in the soil, and to
restore some part of what has been
wasted. Crops must be rotated, and
above all, stock must be kept on the
farms. To keep stock the farms must
be fenced, and there we are. By all
means let the farmers take advantage
OF the present low prices and go in
to the fencing business.-Grand Forks
Herald.

ELEPHANT LOVE AFFAIR.
Bio Tom Loves Queen of the Yankee
Robinson Show.

You who visit the Yankee Robinson
Show when in exhibits here, June q,
will observe one of the worst cases
of love sickness you ever enjoyed.
Big Tom the largest elephant on earth
has an affinity. She is Queen of the
Yankee Robinson herd of elephants.
Tom and Queen were together years
ago with the old Robinson show.
Twelve years ago they were separat-
ed, Queen being sold to another show.
When she was taken away there was
much elephant sadness, and if ever
there was sorrow manifested, it was
when Queen and Tom said goodbye.
They knew the ways of the elephant
world and were impressed with the
thought that their cruel masters
would never permit them to see each
other again. Both elephants took it
to heart, and Queen pined away in
her sorrow until at one time it was

death. Time wore on, the wounded
feelings were healed. Last winter
Queen was purchased by Yankee
Robinson and brought to the winter
quarters of the show. When she saw
Tom, although he had grown twice
his former size, she recognized him.
No animals man present will ever for
get that meeting. To-day this couple

Queen is really an interesting sight
