HOG FENCES.
BY w. B. Richards, Professor
of Animal Industry, North Da-
kota Agricultural College.

j. J. i. !. :. = :. !. !. !. !. j. !. :. :. + :.
A good permanent fence for a pig
lot can be made as follows: Place
posts four inches by even feet one rod
apart. Staple a string of barb wire
two inches from the bottom. Two
inches above it place a ribbon of
twenty-six-inch woven wire and six
inches above it another string of barb
wire. The post will project one and
one-half feet above the height of the
fence. Short posts can be used, but
the long posts may be used some time
later in case it is desired to place
more wires on the fence to keep in
cattle or horses.
A good movable fence can be made
IN practically the same way. Use
smaller posts, sharpen them and drive
them into the ground two rods apart.
On the bottom string a barb wire.

He was gaunt and drawn. striking
contrast to the rather heavy face, the
confident air, and the swagger, which
had extended even to the buttons on
his coat but few years ago. At that
time ranting melodrama was a popu-
lar art, the star an deliberately built
piece of mechanism, and this man the
stars chief support.
His fate was q common one, dra-
matically emphasized by his outward
appearance. Like a dilapidated sign
Tapping in the wind, his threadbare

poured in a flood light of despair from
his moist eyes attested that that glory
would never be renewed.

was wont to thrill the gallery with its
Fictitious bombast, and which now rot

AS to Discipline.

The young teacher should learn and
the older teacher remember that for
every teacher that fails on account Of
lax discipline, there is another who
fails on account Of oyer-government.
Some teachers assume the same atti-
tude as the policeman who found two
men talking on the street corner and
ordered them to move on. as there
was an ordinance prohibiting crowds
gathering on the streets. One man re-
monstrated, saying that two did not
make crowd. One makes q crowd.
If I say SO, answered the policeman
a teacher who assumes that whatever
he says is law. and 1t is law because
he says It, is making sad mistake
