CHANGE BOUNDARY LINES

Common sense is now being demon strated in dealing with county affairs by the legislature, and in this session something has been accomplished which will lead to much more of it in the future sessions. In four coun- ties boundary lines have been, or will be changed. The legislature has al ready taken a neck off of Saline county that ran Pulaski county to the east, piece of territory that should have belonged to Pulaski all the time. This was done in order to allow Pulas- Ri county to complete macadam road to Jererson, which Saline was too poor to do. The boundary line will also be changed between Miller and Little Riv- CT to make Red River again the divid- ing line, giving by one county to the other in several places where the riv- CT has changed it's course and left a farm or two in a strange county.
 There is much complaint in some counties about the present arrange ment of county seats, and in a great many instances it is much easier for people living in a little neck of land to go to the county seat of an ad- joining county, than to go to their own county seat, and many of these will at the next session ask for a change in county lines, so that the county and county line committee of the Assembly which has been a dumping place for bills about to be decapited, will in the future be most important committee.

Fifty Million Dollar for Fences per
 Year.

In the current issue of Farm and Preside. the national farm paper pub lished at Springfield, Ohio, D. s. Burch writes a practical and interesting ar ticle entitled "Fences That Laugh at Father Time" in which he tells what materials will last the longest and cost the least. Inasmuch as the spring is the natural time for farm CTS to make improvements of this kind Mir. Burch's article will be of parti- cular value Following is an extract from the article:
 "The money put into farm fences in the Unitd States every year exceeds fifty million dollars. Some of this we can save if We look carefully into where money is wasted. Our woven wire for 1913 would go around the world thirteen times, and we paid thirty-three million dollars for it. You may think we'll soon get through fencing; but no. The bill is increas- ing a million dollars year.
 Reduce you fencing bill in one of two ways. First buy the kind that's best for your purpose instead of something a dealer thinks you ought to buy. Second make stone. hedge or other natural fences, costing just labor, whenever such fencing answers your purpose.
 Ut looks now as if the posts of the future will be either of preserved wood, rust-proof metal, or reinforced concrete. The fencing will be most ly metal protected against corrosion.'
