west where timber was too scarce to be wasted
on rail fences and where there were no stones to
be cleared. The wire fence has proven an even
greater boon to stock raisers, many of whom must
needs fence large tracts and who are not disposed
to quibble over cost If they can get fence that
can be put up quickly and will stand hard usage.
OF course the dramatic incidents Of wire cut
ting days in the cattle country proved that the
wire fence was easy to destroy as 1t was quick
to build but of course that turbulent condition is
not one that has continued.
And while we are on the subject Of the wire
fence 1t may be noted the regeneration Of the
wire fence has been one of the most marked
features of the present era of more presentable
farm fences The treatment that has been
corded many Of the old wire fences reminds one
in its ingenious expedient for covering up old ma
terial with new-of the scheme now so frequently
followed In coating old brick houses with layer
of stuccO' or concrete that gives them a pristine
freshness. In some instances ivy, roses or rap
idly-growing vines of one kind or another have
been planted at frequent intervals along wire
fence-say at each post-and In surprisingly
short time the fence becomes trellis for luxur-
liant growth that is bound to charm even the
most fastidious person and one to whom wire
fence unadorned would prove perfect eyesore.
Another present day ruse for making the wire
fence unobtrusive and yet retaining all its virtue
as a boundary is to have the fence serve as
core for hedge. The bushes shrubs or other
hedgemaking vegetation may be planted on eth
er or both sides alternately of the fence and
in few years the presence of wire strands and
their supporting posts would be complete sur.
prise to person who attempted to pass the bar
rier, so completely will they be hidden. Indeed,
a close growing hedge reinforced by wire fence
has a twofold value as preventive of trespass
by man or beast and many persons of wide ex.
perience declare that it is the ideal form. The
hedge may be permitted to grow to any height
and there is of course, no necessity for farmer
to keep such hedge trimmed in symmetrical
fashion as Is done with those In the formal gar
dens 70 the rich.

iater on and he wants to keep cattle, ETC.. out of
MS cultivated tracts even If he has stock of his
own tnat ne wishes to restricted to given area
But in the old days no farmer felt that
ne could afford to lay out much money in
fixing such limitations. Almost invariably the
pioneer or early settler in any community
was anxious to find material for his fences
on the place. This will explain the al
most universal use in our whole broad farm do
main of the old familiar type of zig-zag rail
fence. And just here be 1t noted that it is an
admirable type of fence, too. Cheap to construct
il the rails be split from timber on the place;
easy to keep in repair; substantial and enduring;
1t is calculated to yield excellent service This
Is the type of fence that Abraham Lincoln con-
.structed and its fame may go down to posterity
through the rails which are treasured as precious
relics because he split them
The early settlers in stony districts, such as
New England and certain sections of New York,
including the famous Mohawk Valley, in many
instances made their first fences Of stone. In
this respect they were in one sense ahead OF their
times because stone fences are constructed now
adays because Of their artistic and picturesque
attributes and are preferred by people to whom
expense is no object AS matter of fact fence
of loose stones was never cheap form of con-
structlon. On the fact of things 1t has always
been an extravaganza as compared with the rail
fence, but the consideration that leads to its
lection in many localities that the land had
to be cleared of stones ere 1t could be titled 1t
was no more trouble to pile the stones thus col
lected in the form of fence than in pile which
would serve no good purpose and 1t took less time
to thus arrange the stones along the boundary
lines than to cart them to some distant dump.
So the average farmer working such land killed
two birds with one stone, SO to speak, and set up
fences that in most localities have endured to
this day.
The appearance of the wire fence and particu-
larly the barbed wire variety marked a new era
in fence building in our rural districts. NOBODY
was anything very beautiful to look upon, but 1t
has proven boon to thousands of farmers in the

Columbus.-According to figures
compiled by State Treasurer Cream
or of money actually paid out of the
treasury for legislative expenses, this
years legislature cost few thousand
dollars less than the last session of
the seventy-eighth general assembly,
though the session lasted 21 days
longer
The per diem cost was $2173.69 in
1910, and $1936.52 in 1911. These fig
ures, compared with figures for pre-
vious years, show remarkable de-
cline in the cost of conducting the
legislature when compared with earl
Ter years when fiunkies and porters
were so numerous that they fell over
each other. For instance, the ses-
sion of 1909 cost an average of $3454.-
"A per day while the one Of 1906 cost
S3O54.23.
Thus far the legislature has cost
the state 1868 ,SG6.S0, while unpaid
bills outstanding aggregate in the
neighborhood of $4,000. A report
made by Auditor Fullington the total
expenses of the 1911 legislature were
given as $3O3, 3,99765.
This was pointed out as exceed
ing that of the year before.

More Seek Job. Than Placer.


Columbus.-For every job available
in the state, there are three job-seek-
ers and before long there are likely
to be four or five, according to the
report Of the state bureau of labor
statistics covering the past quarter
Of 1911.
Labor Commissioners Fred Lange,
who issued the report, says the de-
mands for labor at the five free en-
ployment offices in the five largest
cities of the state aggregated 1871
for the three months, a decrease of
2,11s as compared with the cores
ponding quarter of last year. The
calls for male employment totaled
2l,144, a slight increase over a year
ago.
Commissioner Lange accredits the
constantly growing disproportion of
the demand for labor to the labor sup
ply to the unrest in the Industrial
world generally noticed before a ma
tional election"
The demand for unskilled labor, ac-
cording to the report, totaled SAY
calls and the demand for skilled la
Dor 1.0O9 calls. For culinary service
(hotel and private) there were I'll
calls; for agricultural employment,
400 calls; and for stenographic and
clerical positions, 81 calls. The de-
mand Ior female help aggregated
5,744 calls, decrease of 1,542 from
the previous quarter. The total num-
Der of female applicants was 6,334.

Missionary Board Loses Suit.

By decision of the supreme court
the board of foreign missions of the
Presbyterian church lost mora than
100000. The case was that of the
board versus Henry W. Bevan, as ad-
ministrator of the estate of James
Bevan, deceased.
James Bevan, at the time of his
death, left two wills, one dated and
signed, which left his entire estate to
his wife, to become the property Of
his son at the wife's death, and an
other unsigned, in which he left prac-
tically the entire estate to the Pres
byteTian church. The son, in April,
1908, filed suit in the common pleas
court of Delaware county to contest
the will. He lost the first case, but
the verdict was later set aside and a
new trial held in which the son won.
by alleging that the father, when he
made the latest will, was of unsound
mind. The board appealed the case
to the circuit court, where it again
lost Another appeal was taken, this
time to the supreme court, which
held that the son was entitled to this
estate.

and with wire fence concealed is seen much
more frequently than formerly as one traverses
the most travelled roads in America Such hedges
however, usually bespeak the indulgence of some
wealthy land holder who is willing to spend freely
for the sake of appearances The invasion of the
country districts by this leisure class retired men
of means and so-called gentlemen farmers, has also
resulted in the appearance of great numbers Of stone
and concrete walls. OF course such barriers, like
wise the UNCOVERED brick walls are costly and par
ucuary when we take into account the massive
gateways which have usually been provided in such
connection There is no doubt however, that such
walls add much, in the estimation of most per-
sons, to the beauty Of our rural landscapes. In
deed, it is the walls and hedges more than any
thing else which cause re turned travellers to grow
enthusiastic over rural England
The iron fence has shared in the stimulated
activity but the iron fence, alike to the stone
wall calls for pretty heavy outlay, although
II 1t Is kept painted it will endure for so many
years that it is rendered fairly reasonable in the
long run. The picket fence, preferably painted
white or white and green, continues to have
many stanch friends among the farming class and
the running board fence which is said to have
originated in New England has spread to many
other sections of the country and taken on few
frills suggestive of the designs of barred pie.
Rustic work when well done is always mighty
effective in any rural surroundings and the pic
turesque appearance of the logs with the bark on
is heightened by the introduction Of some bright
hued posies. Another latter day development is
seen in the latitude now manifested in the height
of the fences in the rural districts. A generation
ago pretty much all the fences were about the
same height. Nowadays they vary greatly. In
some instances where the fence or hedge is pure
ly ornamental its height is very much restricted
whereas on the other hand it is not unusual to
counter wealthy land owner whose desire for
privacy has prompted him to erect-at least in
the immediate vicinity of his dwelling-a wall
SO high that a man horseback cannot see over
it. comparatively low stone wall surmounted
by high iron fence is another form of construc
ton that has been introduced extensively.

control commerce exclusively within

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANscoNTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the vice-president Of the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. As his firm have
turnover OF millions, and deals ex-
tensiVely with farm implements, this
man took deep interest in crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks Of the importance
Of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
Of the importance Of the oat crop and
also Of the winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything OF
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard Of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced Reproducing from
this article:-
"In land Of such great sweep, and
Of such difference In soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present Of the same oyerwhelm-
ing importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
1t is the one absorbing topic of inter
est and of conversation during it's
growing and it's harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe Of large part of. the Domin-
ion. It's influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands Of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yOnd the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower of their young men to its op-
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come Of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers Of this one all
important crop, and each year there
Is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de-
luslon that population tends to outrun
the means of subsistence, since tho
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists Is as to the danger Of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent Of
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces Is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200,O0O,OO0 bushels, so
that your imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out
come"
During the months of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production Of a 200 million
yield Of wheat will not likely be real
ized, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be splendidly paying one.

Mayor Faces Removal.

Independent of the statute for the
removal of mayors, there is an Ohio
law providing a $500 fine or three
months Imprisonment for the offense
alleged against Mayor H. H. Hill of
Milford. He is charged with having
changed bill of exceptions in a case
appealed from his court and substi-
tuting false statements. Governor
Harmon took no action on the remov-
al petition.
The governor recognized the valid
ity of the statute authorizing him to
remove mayors when, in July, 1910,
he summoned Mayor Herbert Ather-
ton to hear chargest against him after
the Newark lynching. Atherton re-
signed before the date set fer the
hearing.
5 Before that charges were filed
against Mayor A. II. Gorrill of Zanes-
vile, but neither then nor since has
the governor taken any action regard
ing them. They are simply on file.

Green Nine-hour Law Test.

To permit an early determination Of
whether or not the Green nine-hour
law for women is constitutional, the
court has allowed the application for
leave to carry the test case involving
the question from the common pleas
court of Franklin county to the high
est tribunal at once.
The case is that in which Anna
Hawley, the proprietor of local mil
linery store, refused to comply with
the limitations of the law. She did
so under an arrangement by which
the arrest was technically made so
that the question could be raised as
to the validity of the act.
Judge Dillon of the common pleas
court upheld the law, and the appli-
cation for leave to carry the case to
the supreme court, without having 1t
reviewed by the circuit court, was
made by Judge John M. Sheets, rep.
resenting the plaintiff in error.

The Method of Increasing Stock.

Columbus.-Before public service
corporations may issue additional
stock they must secure consent from
the secretary of state under existing
laws for increase of capital stock and
then the public service commission
will tell the corporations whether
they may sell the stock. This is the
method under which the public serv-
ice commission will apply the sections
regulating the issue of stocks and
bonds in the new public utilities act.
In case of bonds approval must be
given before any can be sold.
Declaring they were already over
capitalized, the commission has re-
fused its sanction to the issue of ad-
ditional securities by one electric rail-
way and other utility companies. The
position taken is that there must be
no water in securities and that every
dollar of securities must be backed by
100 cents worth of property.

Tree Frauds Uncovered.

Warnings have been issued by the
Ohio agricultural experiment station
to beware of fraudulent agents for
forestry stock. Year.old seedlings of
locust and catalpa are being sold at
$40 to $40 per 1000, whereas catalpa
seedlings a year old, of 1S to 24-inch
stock, are sold by reliable firms at
81 to $11 per 1000.
Misrepresentation have been made
that the catalpa will gain post size in
three years and pole size in six years.
Planters are being sold 5000 trees for
an acre, whereas third of that num-
ber is sufficient. The state does not
pay a bounty for planting the trees.

To Test Workmen's Act.

Gov. Harmon has arranged for an
immediate test of the constitutional
ity of the workmen's compensation
act.
Daniel J. Ryan, attorney for the
Ohio Manufacturers association, ex-
planned that he favored the law, but
was loath to advise his clients to be-
gin operating under it if there was
to be any comeback.
Attorney General Hogan was called
in and it was arranged that State Au-
ditor Fullington should refuse to
honor a voucher for the board of
awards, which administers the law.
Mr.. Hogan then will ask the supreme
court to issue writ of mandamus to
compel Auditor Fullington to act. Mr..
Hogan will defend the law. The test
will secure a final decision before

representatives of telephone COM
panies, on which the commission is
placing their values for purposes of
taxation. The values probably will be
