There are worse shelters for cattle
than hay sheds. They are warm
when we'll built, but the difficulty is
to keep them well built We used to
say, when all sheds were build of
hay and poles, that wherever there
was stuff cattle would not eat in the
racks, they would clean it all up if
put in their shed. This was fact,
too.

can remember when almost every
other cow was fence breaker. That
was in the day when the barb wire
was high in price, consequently no
fence was built of more than two
wires, and | can remember seeing
many Fences made of but one

The Republic makes it a rule rigid

of advertisement. But what the
wealth Of Carnegie could not pur-
chase may be freely given upon the

has been long, cold autumn. On
top of that, Gov. Hadley finds himself
occupying house which has been
leased to another tenant for term of
years, and will of necessity step out
into the icy blasts of a pitiless Janu-
airy. Many man has been compelled
under such circumstances to sacrifice
his goods and chattels on a market in
which the bears danced in unholy glee
while the bulls had taken to the
woods. Turkeys are delicate birds,

in market is sometimes stamped with
a ducal coronet. Gov. Hadley's plan
is close second.
