LOOK AFTER YOUR FENCES
Woven Wire For Enclosure the Latss
and Best.

Woven Wire For Enclosure the Latest
The matter of farm fences 10 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 the fence
proposition Is always a 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 quaintness to
many homesteads. Another fence that
Is passing rapidly Is the hedgerow. A
hedge fence when properly cared for
Is one Of the identifying acquisitions
Of well kept farm. When 1t is not
properly trimmed and cared for 1t Is
an eyesore. Hedge has grown unpop-
ular ON account Of the large amount Of
work required to keep It In proper con.
dition and also on account Of its draw
ing the soil fertility from the ground
for considerable distance where
planted. 8,ggy
Barbed wire Is also another thing
that is meeting with disfavor with the
most progressive farmers. 1t - very
cheap and durable fence, but II It Is
not kept In perfect condition 1t is the
most dangerous thing about the farm.

FertiIizina the Orchard.

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

especially where live stock Is kept
On a great many farms barbed wire
fences have cost the owner many times
more than what II 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 10 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-ln fact, it is al
ready here's 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 a very high de-
gree Of farming. Crops viii grow right
up by the side of it. and the keeping
of the fence rows clean Is little labor
Bad fences are often responsible for
bad feeling between neighbors. Woven
wire fences are the easiest of all
fences to keep In repair. IL they are
put up right they are nearly always in
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
woven wire fence is to have barbed
wire stretched on top the posts. This
prevents the stock, especially horses
from throwing their heads over the
fence or breaking down the wire.

FRATERNALS UNITED IN
 BATTLE FOR EXISTENCE
TWO MASKED MEN
 HOLD UP TROLLEY
Wild West Attack on Lonely Stretch of Road Near
 Southington
GET MONEY AND WATCHES

In true western style last night two masked highwaymen. at about S:30 o'clock, after stopping a Conpecticut company trolley car bound from Lazy Lane to Lake Compounce. by placing four railroad ties across the rails, forced the crew of the car, at the point of revolvers. to give up every thing of value in their possession. -
 The holdup occurred after a series of unexplainable accidents have been happening to the trolley road for the last five weeks. The line on which the holdup took place runs from the main line in Southington through the woods and fields to Lake Compounce, the scene of the holdup being at the foot of a steep grade near West street, Southington. The trolley. which was in charge of Conductor John Adams and Motorman William Price, and which was a large double truck car, was suddenly checked from being ser iously wrecked. by the motorman, who saw a pile of railroad logs across the rails. As soon as the car was brought to a standstill. the crew step ing the ties from the rails. Two mask ed men who appeared from the side of the road. armed with revolverS, told them to throw up their hands.
 In the meantime. two women pas seugers. Mrs. Helen Bo1lis and her daughter, Miss Mabel Bollis. succeeded in escaping from the car and reach ing the home of Philip Elfner, some distance from the holdup. The two masked men ran up. to the car and one of them commanded the conduc- tor to take off his hat and place all the money in his possession into it. While this was being carried out. the motorman was being covered by the second masked man.
 When $40 had been placed into the hat the conductor was forced to throw in his watch. With a revolver to. his head, the motorman followed suit, placing $50 watch with the booty.
 When everything of value had been taken from the crew the highwaymen retreated toward an old and unused road, still covering the trolleymen. Before leaving the crew one of the masked men considerably gave the change on the car. The men ran up what IS called the sawmiI road and disappeared in the woods. The troI-' leymen continued with their car to phoned to the inspector of the line. Deputy Sheriff James McCabe imme- diately began work on the case.
 The holdup followed a number of bold attempts in the last month to wreck trolley cars in this section. nights hoIdup a. crowded car was stopped three weeks ago, but those stopping the car lost heart and fled. An electric light switch in Bristol street was tampered with last night. nearly resulting in the wrecking of car A railroad tie placed across Stillman's bridge five weeks ago was discovered just in time to prevent a serious wreck. It is stated on good authority that outside detectives em- ployed by the Connecticut company will take up the case some time to- day.
