Following Is a description of a good,

err OF Lyon county, la, for Yards: Take
a piece of by 6, six feet long and rip it
In two and nail the two pieces together
IN the center to make them like the let
ter X. Then take four pieces about ~
inches long and nail on the ends of these
first two pieces, nailile them on cross
ways, and drive nails in both ends TO
hold the wire on
Now lay your barDed wire out a short
distance from the fence-a few feet Is
plenty-and fasten one end of the wire
on the end OF one of tksSe twelve inch
pieces and roll the spool along over the
wire, and you can take it up as fast as
you can walk as the spool will be as
higl as mans head, and he can stand
up straight to take up the wire, and it

To unroll wire from the spools on which

feet long and bore hole in one end
ABOUT the 81 of the holes in a barbed

board or a few narrow boards about Is
or 20 inches long on these by As and
have them just a little wider than the
spool, and nail a narrow board on the
opposite end of the by is from the
holes.
Then take a stick that will go through
the holes, put the spool of wire in be-
tween and run the stick through the by

MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, o.

MRS. c. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
It all according to directions, and
If It does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.
