DEMAND FOR CEDAR
tennessee Farmers Get Good
Money for Old Fences.
In Many Cases Agents Are Exchanging
the Long Used Rails for Modern
Woven Wire-Wood Needed
for Lead Pencils.

Poor Aladdin was decidedly peeved
when his well-meaning mother ex-
changed an old brass lamp she found
kicking about the house for a brand
new shiny one. Naturally, since the
old lamp was worth many times as
much as the new one, as everyone who
has, read Of Aladdin's Lamp knows.
In TenneSsee-and in many other
localities now-they are exchanging
brand new shiny wire fences for dis
reputable old rail, zig-Zag, Virginia,
snake and Stake-and-rider fences once
laboriously split and put up by honest
sons Of toll generations ago. And the
best part of it is that no one is
peeved. The people who give away
the brand new and expensive woven
wire fences are delighted to take the
old rail fences in exchange and the
farmers are proud and happy to get
the wire fences, so everyone is glad.
The answer is Lead pencils"
More than two years ago we had
stripped our cedar lands of practically
all the old growth, and since then Of
all the rest of the cedars, except the
mere saplings. Then the pencil manu-
facturers started to bring cedar from
abroad and then the war came along
the crowned heads of Europe should
worry about lead pencil shortage in
America-and it began to look as
though lead pencils would become as
costly as eggs or coal or other COM
modities until certain agents discov-i
cred that throughout many sections Of
the country there were miles and miles
Of the very best sort of cedar, thor
oughly dried and seasoned, serving as
fences along highways and between
fields and pastures.
Some of the old rails were sent to
pencil manufacturing concern. The
wood was cut up into strips and proved
to be the very best pencil cedar the
manufacturers had been able to get
hold of for years. There was no sea-
soning to dot was in prime condi-
ton for making into pencils the mo-
ment it reached the shops.
"Get all you can of this wood" was
the order to agents.
"What will you take for your rail
fences?" one Tennessee farmer was
asked.
"Gosh, 1 wouldn't sell them fences.
It would take years to split up more
rails" said the farmer. The agent
had an idea.
eff / put in modern woven wire
fences may 1 have the old wooden
onesY
"You bet you can, until they come
and get you," was the answer.
"Who come and get mel" asked the
agent.
1.-THE crazy house people, where you
broke out FROM" snorted the old farm
err. But the agent ordered the fenc-
ing, and his men put it up and shipped
the old cedar rails, which were from
% to Is years old, to the factories,
and the value Of the cedar was so
much greater than the cost Of the wire
fences that the pencil makers were de-
lighted.

FRIEND OF THE FIRE HORSE
In Detroit Animals Showed Affection
for the Man Who Cared for Them
For Many Years.

For u years Martin Cooney has
been superintendent of horses for the
fire department of Detroit, Mich, says
the News Of that city. He has bought
every horse used by the department
in that time; he has tended them
through sickness and has been obliged
to end the agonies of many of them.
So great has been his love for horses
that he has never taken a /furlough,
or even kept his Sundays for himself.
Night and day he has watched over
the horses.
In winter, when the horses, steam
ing from their swift run to the fires,
have stood and shivered as the blaze
was fought, it was Martin Cooney who
hurried to the scene, and saw that they
were blanketed. Back in their barns,
it was Martin Cooney who saw that
they were rubbed down and made
warm and comfortable. When their
feet were sore it was Martin Cooney
who dressed them, and when the
strenuous life of fire department horses
made them unfit for such serv-
ice, Martin Cooney saw to it that they
were sold to farmers and not to city
drivers, who might abuse them.
But the endless tolls of days and
nights has taken toll of Mr.. Cooney,
and recently he retired from active
service. And because he has been a
friend to horses he is glad that auto
mobiles are replacing them for fire
service in downtown Detroit.
Pounding over hard, slippery
downtown streets shortened the lives
of the horses" Mr.. Cooney explained.
"When we used them all over the city,
the average life Of a horse in the de-
partment was four or five years; now
that they are confined to the envir-
ons their average is five or six
years. OF course some last much
longer. There was one that lasted
thirteen years, and is now comfortable
on farm near Detroit.
'When joined the fire department
we had about 100 horses. At one time
we had 234 horses; that was the high
water mark. Now we have about $50,
more than we had twenty-seven years
ago, despite the great number Of fire
trucks. That is because Detroit's out
lying districts are more populous now
than the entire city was then.
1.-THE horses knew me when I came
into any Of the stations. They would
whinny and crane their necks. I broke
them in and they never forgot me.
"The thing which makes me happiest
is that all old horses are sent to farms,
where there are no hard roads to irri-
tate their weakened feet. A horse is
too intelligent and too good a friend to
be abused after it's full period of use
fulness is passed."
