Don't You Want a Portable
Fence?

IT is the need of the hour with me.
T must raise some shoats-if can ina
them to buy-and you, farmer. need the
portable fence just as 1 do-for your
shoats and little calves.
Who is going to show me how TO pullo
a portable fence that is not too cumoer-
some TO move over pasture ground, or
rich grassy places, that could not other-
wise be pastured at all by little pigs or
calves?
Many years ago we had in our section
of Cherokee county. Ga, really sc1en-
tific farmer, Rev. Charles Wallace How
ard. who lived near Kingston, Ga. He
always had fat mutton in those days or
sumptuous hospitality and he used
portable fences for his sheep. When
they would eat off bit of pasture grass
clean he would move up the portable
fence to a fresh rank spot. In that way
his sheep cleaned off the land regularly
and they had better picking all the time.
l want very much to know how to
build a light portable enclosure that
will securely hold two or three shoats
until the time comes for penning and
fattening in the fall, and it must/not be
too heavy for two men to turn about or
move along as becomes needful.
Can anybody point me to a palace
where I can buy a couple of small
shoats, weighing, say so pounds each,
and able to crack corn, or otherwise
feed themselves?

The Coming of Alfalfa to Feed
the World

A few days ago a gentleman who rents
land on our farm told me of his buying
a bale of alfalfa hay in Gainesville, and
of the eagerness with which his plow-
stock ate it. He said they passed their
corn until they ate the last OF the
hay.
l saw wagon loads of alfalfa hay dump
ed into feed stores here in our midst. 1t
is a coming forage plant everywhere, ex-
cept in extremely hot sections, where
moisture disappears in the soil.
1 looked I'D its history and although
knew it as "1ucerne'' 50-odd years ago.
I am very little acquainted with the
plant.
When Xerxes invaded Greece, B. c.,
he carried the seed of alfalfa with him
and it was seen In Rome as early as
146 B. c.
We know that the Moors carried the
plant to Spain, and Certez took it with
him to South America. Since then mission
fathers lived in California the plant has
been seen there, but was not extensively
cultivated but travellers will tell you now
that you can spot fields of it, every
where when you travel on western rail-
roads. Its rich vivid green is noticeable,
and although millions of acres are plant
ed the price of the hay is steadily grow
ing.
The Mormons migrated westward and
begun to irrigate the soil, the first white
irrigators in the United States. When
Brigham Young left Illinois to find a new

bordered large flower beds with the green

that alfalfa would now produce the bulk
of the hay-grown all over the west and
anywhere else. where soil is favorable.

The Waste of Tax Money

The legitimate expense of civil gov
eminent should be willingly borne, but
when officials throw away the people
tax money there should be checks thrown
about the strong box of the state and
nation. 1t is the duty of every citizen
to place as many safeguards about the
treasury as they place about their pri-
vate funds.
But some will say private funds are
often wasted While that is true, it is
only the loss of the individuals property,
while the waste from the treasury falls
on everybody-especially the helpless and
the innocent
I saw an arraignment of the eXpendi-
lures of the present administration a
few days ago in the Congressional Rec
ord, for we must not forget that the
Republican party has absolute control of
house, senate and President Taft AS
they claim all the glory, they should
bear their share of the blame
Not all the blame, however, for the
Democrats, leaning back on their inabil-
ity to control legislation and knowing
they can criticize the opposite party for
spendthrift extravaganza, they contin-
ually go in for a grab game and get all
possible benefit from these wasteful
plans and purposes-by securing fat
places for themselves and their hangers
on.
1 read the other day where a senator
from Mississippi heretofore estimated as
one of the south's greatest men, sudden
ly put in four of his immediate family
in clerkships. when he was expected as
chairman TO do the fair thing and d.
vide with those who gave him extra
authority in some committee arrange
ments He draws $500 as salary-add
to this mileage at 20 cents per mile, with
another regular clerk of his own family,
and various perquisites pertaining to the
place of senator, and you will see how
money makes the mare 60"
1t is this inexplicable weakness in hui
mankind which has made the pay roll of
the federal government a vast .engulf-
ing NOW of greed and cupidity.
Our legislators seem to think they must
get all that is coming to them. and share
in all that's going-so votes are snapped
and vicious legislation is put through
that no manager of individual business
would dare to authorize with other peo-
pies money-without risking the prison
pen or exile to Canada-the usual re-
fuge Of men who steal the money or
bank depositors
If we had clear vision and could lift
the lid from what is going on in the
city of Washington today with this
waste of the peoples tax money. we
would be shocked and forced to ask
the question, How long will it be be-
fore the bottom drops out of the whole
businsss?"
1t will eventuate in one of two things
If not checked-namely. national bank
ruptcy OF q military despotism. Already
the war and navy departments and the
pension roll soak up more than 70 per
cent of the treasury funds, and there

1 shouldn't wonder If the procession
included the stuffed game that has
been killed in Africa-certain1y the big
headed animals will cut some sort of
figure in the approaching celebration.
Mr.. Taft has had the whole business
to himself since Teddy went away
barely a year ago and yet there ara
scores Of politicians who are heartily
tired of the one. and anxious to see the

best known to those who are interested!

the man Of their hearrs-of their hopes
and desires-and who yields big stick.
1 am satisfied that Mr.. Taft has been
handicapped by Mr.. Roosevelt's partials
ity for him, as his immediate success
sor-yet we all are well convinced that
he became a presidential certainty only

They meet and make the laws governing
the tribe, and act as judges in the few
cases that cannot be settled by the in
dividuals themselves.
Another tribal officer is the president,
who keeps the symbols and seals of the
government. and uses them IN accord
ance with established regulations. W He
also conducts a sort of twentieth CEN

uge. Tribesman accused of crime may
flee to his house for protection, and his
security is assured until he has been

they usually bring enough palm oil and

Zach tribe has it's own peculiar dia-
lect and customs, but one thing that is
common to all is the welcome extended
to the periodical visitation of the driver
ant Tropical weather and tropical
habits are not conducive to extreme
cleanliness in household affairs, and
nearly all of the huts which constitute
the homes of the poorer classes of Lii
IBERIA become infested with vermin. Pc
riodically the driver ants set out on big
foraging expeditions, great hordes of
them visiting every place that promises
juicy bug or other toothsome insect.
Therefore house cleaning in the wilds
of Liberia consists of no more trouble
than giving the driver ant access to ev-
cry nook and Granny.
The man who is now president of LII
IBERIA is the first one ever elected who
was not a preacher. He is Arthur Bar

story of ceremonial visit he made to
a Liberian ruler when he was a captain
in the navy. While talking with the
president the swish of silk skirts was
heard and the gallant old sea-dog in

in, and was presented as the first lady
of Liberia. Fighting Bob, acknowledge
ing the introduction, said: "Howdy.

president was amused and laughingly
inquired: What part of the south are
