examination Of the Panama canal
This task is one Of especial respon-
sibility in view of what the United
States government Is doing at the 18TH
mus, the amount of money already
spent and the Importance of complet-
ing the work according to plans that
will stand the severe tests to which
they will undoubtedly be put.
Mr.. Davis was born in Decatur, ILL.,,
in 1851 and pursued his engineering
studies at the Columbian university,
Washington. He was topographer of
the United States geological survey
for ten years and was photographer In
charge Of all government stream meas
urements from 1895 to 1897. He was
also in charge Of the photographic ex-
animation Of the Nicaragua and Pana-
ma canal routes. He is member of
many scientific societies and Is author
Of several works on engineering.

stringers. The height of the fence is
governed by the size Of chickens to be
yarded. Ordinary wooden lath is four
feet long, and 1t may project six inches
above the upper stringer and six inches
below the lower stringer, which would
bring the stringers three feet apart for
a fence four feet high. Three-quarter
inch gas pipe is one inch outside di-
ameter, which would require one and
one-eighth inch holes through the
strlngers. Cut the gas pipes FIVE or six
feet long, according to the soil. 1t will
be necessary to put the fence in place
and drive the gas pipes through the
holes, because after the stakes are
driven once or twice they become bat
tered on top, or you can saw through
from the ends of the stringers and
mortise out to form an open seat.

on Manhattan Island and my point Of
observation the top floor Of a latter

Sitting at my window half an hour
before the close Of one Of these brief

see flock after flock Of birds in rapid
southern flight. There were so many
Of them that at no time during the

was even my limited skyscape free
from them. 1t reminded me Of the
annual flight Of the pigeons in the

that no charges had been sustained

Several weeks ago Judge Wiley

EsrtiIizino The Orchard,

1t might be said that it is always
seasonable to fertilize the orchard or
garden. Manure placed on this soil
this winter will partially decay and
its riches soak into the soil for the use
of the plants next year. 1t not only
serves as a fertilizer IN the orchard,
but in winter 1t acts as a soil pro-
lection and regulates sudden freezing
and thawing. On billy land 1t checks
soil erosion.

LOOK AFTER YOUR FENCES.
Woven Wire For lnclosure the Latest

Woven Wire For lnclosure the Latest
and Best.
The matter of farm fences is one Of
the principal improvements of the
farm. A farm without good fences
never is valued very highly, even
though the fields be clean and fertile.
On a great many farms NE fence
proposition is always serious one
with the owner. Too many farmers
are Indifferent regarding the keeping
of their fences In repair. There is
usually plenty of work to be done on
the farm fences. They are continually
getting out Of repair, and unless looked
after they get into bad order and en-
tice the live stock TO cross them. The
matter of farm fences has already
gone through considerable evolution in
the last ten years. Very seldom does
one ever see the old rail fence, COM
monty termed the worm fence" The
rail fence is fast becoming obsolete,
even In the timber districts. They
never were a thing of beauty, but
their construction lent a Quaintness to
many homesteads. Another fence that
Is passing rapidly is the hedgerow A
hedge fence when properly cared for
is one of the beautifying acquisitions
of well kept farm. When it is not
properly trimmed and cared for it is
an eyesore. Hedge has grown unpop.
ular on account of the large amount of
work required to keep 1t in proper con-
dltion and also on account Of it's draw
ing the soil fertility from the ground
for considerable distance where
planted.
Barbed wire is also another thing
that is meeting with disfavor with the
most progressive farmers. 1t is very
cheap and durable fence, but If it is
not kept in perfect condition it is the
most dangerous thing about the farm,
especially where live stock is kept
On great many farms barbed wire
fences have cost the owner many times
more than what it cost to construct
them IN the damage done to live stock
Many valuable colt or horse has
been rendered practically worthless by
1t. The damage done to cattle has not
been so great, but there are instances
where many valuable dairy cows have
had their udders practically ruined by
barbed wire.
The coming fence-in fact, it is al
ready here-is the woven wire. II
has everything to commend it. 1t is
slightly when properly put up and does
not permit of grassy or weedy fence
corners. Wire fences take up very lit
tie land and permit very high de-
gree of farming. Crops will grow right
up by the side of it, and the keeping
Of the fence rows clean is little labor
Bad fences are often responsible fol
bad feeling between neighbors. Wover
wire fences are the easiest Of al
fences to keep in repair. If they are
put up right they are nearly always ir
good condition. A little attention paid
to them once in awhile is all that is
necessary TO keep them in first class
order. The best way to maintain 6
woven wire fence is to have a barbet
wire stretched on top the posts. This
prevents the stock, especially horses
from throwing their heads over thu
fence or breaking down the wire.

The opera that night was Debussy's

that It Is an acquired taste, but have
learned to like 1t. 1t was Wagner's
mission to convince us that we knew
absolutely nothing OF harmony, and 1t
seems to be Debussy's stunt to make
1t clear that music is something quite
different from anything we have ever
suspected. He has gone to the trouble
to invent new scale, and the score Of
"Pelleas ct Melisande" Is constructed
according to 1t. 1t Is probably a very
good scale. My sole objection to 1t is
that It is so strangely reminiscent of
