Waiting for the opportune Time.

Decatur, Ills, March 2l:-After
waiting on the Mexican border for
three years and never once seeing the
active service his heart longed for, a
former private OF the 18th U. s. Cav
airy was to-day accepted for enlist
msnt in the United States Marine
Corps.
81 have been waiting down there
on the border expecting trouble to
break out" he told Sergeant Frank
f. English, in charge of the local
Marine Corps recruiting station, land
I began to think that Villa would
never start anything. And now, a day
or two after I'm discharged, my old
outfit is In the very thick OF it."
"Villa wouldn't start anything so
long rs You were there" English
comforted the ex-trooper, but when
he heard that you had been paid Off
he knew that the physiological mo-
ment had arrived and that 1t was
safe to commence hOstilities."

Howler the Wolf.

Howler the Wolf belongs to fam
lily against which man has waged re-
lentless war since the beginning of
things. Yet, despite ceaseless hunt
ing and trapping, he still holds his
own in many places. The great Gray
or Timber Wolf, which is the largest
American member of the family, once
roamed all over North America, but
is now confined largely to the West
and Southwest and to Canada, rang
ing clear to the Arctic region, where
he becomes white.
--Howler looks very much like large
dog. Indeed, he is closely related to
the dog tribe. He is wonderfully keen
of scent, feet of foot and sound Of
wind. Wolves hunt mostly In packs,
especially when in pursuit of large
game. In this way they pull down
deer, elk, even the lordly moose, when
they catch him in the deep snow. On
the ranges they raise havoc with
cattle, sheep and even horses.
Howler's jaws are very wide and
strong, and his method of fighting Is
to jump in, slash with his great teeth
and jump out again. BY nature he is
a coward, but when starved or cor
nered will fight desperately. A pack
will attack man II driven to 1t by
hunger, and in Russia this not infre-
quently happens. Howler usually
mates for life. The den is usually in
so-called bad lands where they are
not likely to be disturbed.
They will not hesitate to kill and
devour the weak or injured of their
own pack, and in this particular are
unlike and a degree lower than other
animals, so the race is always strong
and virile. The howl of the wolf is
one of the most fearsome sounds in
the forest.-Thornton w. Burgess, in
The Peoples Home Journal for Feb
ruary.

Better Babies.

If there is one subject of equal i'm
portanee to any woman, it is that Of
better babies. For years, Uncle Sam,
aided by every known science, has
bent every effort to producing per-
feet calf, but until recently the grow
ing Of a perfect child was left to the
instinct of the mother. Just how I'M
erringly that instinct hao worked, is
to be traced on the rows and rows of
little tombstones that crowd our GEM
etaries.
Every year, sOo,o 600 infants, 8 good
standing army, If given = chance to
mature, die before reaching the age
Of one year, and there are those that
claim that at least 80 per cent Of those
deaths are preventable. Think Of it {!
At these figures, finally Uncle Sam
has opened his eyes and taken notice.
All Child Welfare work to date in
dictates that ignorance, not indiffer-
ence. Is responsible for the high rate
Of infant mortality. TO remove from
the united motherhood the stigma of
this unnecessary loss of life, and to
raise the standard Of public health, is
the object Of q Baby Week Campaign.
There was probably never q time
when there was such an honest eager
ness for knowing along these lines on
the part Of communities as now. The
Women's Clubs throughout the. land

Did You Make any Money Last
Year.

Easy to farm on paper, but what
about the gain or loss?-Ever figure
your net worth.
1t is easy to grow fifty bushels of
oats-on paper. 1t is fairly simple
matter to sell Thousand dollars
worth Of fruit aud vegetables on pa
per. Likewise if we forget that there
are such things as hail storms, hot
winds, hog cholera, flooded markets,
ETC., one can almost hear the dollars
Jingle II he counts them ahead of
time-on paper.
Figuring and planning on future
possibilities is essential. 1t is q good
thing to do, but after it is all over
with, when the year has passed, it is
Of considerable more importance to
check up and see If you did actually
make any money. II you lost, how
much did you lose?
Just as you have a rule for measur-
ing hay, or as the housewife has re-
cipe for making a cake, there is for
muls for figuring the net worth and
actual gain or loss. Thus: to deter
mind the net worth, a. add the value
of all resources, which include land,
equipment, live stock, feed, supplies,
growing crops, cash and bills receiv-
able; (2) add the value of all liabili-
ties, which include mortgages, bills
you owe, ETC.; (3) subtract total lia-
bilities from total resources. The re-
mainder ia net worth.
To determine gain or loss, take the
difference between net worth at the
beginning Of the year and net worth
at the end of the year.
This ia the simplest form of home
bookkeeping. 1t shows results.-O.

What is a Legal Fence?

Anent the discussion of proposed
herd law for Colorado has developed
much argument as to what con stitutes
legal fence in Colorado. Some claim
that legal fence is so costly that few
farmers can afford to maintain one,
while many cattle owners insist that
the Colorado legal fence is really .
joke. Quoting from the law. and only
that part which refers to wire fences:
IA fence OF three barbed wires,
with posts not more than sixty feet
apart, with stays between not more
than ten feet apart; or three barbed
wires, with posts not more than thir-
ty-three feet apart, with one stay
midway between, or two barbed wires
with pole at top, not less than two
inches In diameter, wired at each end
to posts, the posts to be not over eight
feet apart; or four plain wires, with
posts not less than five inches In d.
ameter and not over fifty feet apart,
with stays between, not over ten feet
apart; Provided, that any division
or road fence, made Of wires, shall be
deemed unlawful that contains less
number of wires, posts aud stays than
above described. All other fences
made of board, rails, poles, wires,
stone, hedge plants or other material,
which shall be as strong and as we'll
calculated b protest enclosures as
those above described, shall be con-
sidered lawful fences; and said plain
wires, as described In this section,
shall not be less than number nine,
and all wires shall be properly
stretched. Revised Statute, Section
2587.)
"All fences shall not be less than
four feet and six inches In heighth.
! Revised Statute, Section 25sS.)
The above Is the actual law in re-
gard to legalfences, and it would seem
that anything that could be called q
fence would pass muster under these
conditions. 1t is claimed, however,
that farmers are unable to secure
damages where cattle break in their
enclosures, even though they have q
legal fence. The law would seem to
he very fair in this matter. Here is
what 1t says:
Amy person making and maintain
ing, In good repair, around his or her
enclosure, any fence such rs described
In section one Revised Statute, Sec
ton 25s7) of this act, may recover in
a suit for trespass, before any court
having competent Jurisdiction, from
the owner of any animal or animals
which break through any such fence,
in full for all damages sustained on
account Of such trespAss, together
with costs Of suit; and the animal or
animals SO trespassing may be taken
and held for security for the pay
ment of such damages and costs; and
no person or persons shall be allowed
to recover damages for any injury to
and crops or grass or garden products
or other vegetable product, unless
the same, at the time Of such trespass
or injury, was enclosed by legal and
sufficient fence, IS before described.
Revised Statute, Section 2589.)"
|. 1t would seem that under this act
the average farmer who, in good faith
maintains any kind Of . respectable
fence, would have little difficulty in
recovering damages for any depreda-
tions by cattle. 1t 10 difficult to con-
ceive how this law can be made any
more liberal to the settler-farmer
than 1t ts.
