prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
A good job to attend to between the
busy seasons Is the building and re-
pairing of fences. A farm fence should
combine the two qualities of service
and economy. To give satisfactory
service it must be constructed so as
to turn all kinds of stock without in
jury to them. To be economical It
must be built as cheaply as is consis-
tent with durability. The fence that
is erected at low initial cost Is not
necessarily economical, for it may be
short lived.
Wire fences are very generally re-
placing those Of stone, wood, and
hedge wherever the latter are becom-
ing unserviceable. In selecting WOW
en-wire fence, it is preferable to eco
nomize by eliminating unnecessary
wires rather than by using lighter
weight wire. In pastures where only
cattle or horses are to be kept there
is no need Of providing fence the
spacing in which is close enough to
turn hogs.
Weight Determines Cost.
The factor which determines the
price Of woven wire fencing Is its
weight, so that in fences Of the same
height a wide spaced fence with COM
paratively few wires costs less than a
narrow spaced one with more wires.
On the other hand. it is becoming gen.
orally recognized that the use of heavy
wire in fencing is economical. The
initial cost Of the heavy wire is great
er, but its durability is more than suffi-
Gent to Offset this disadvantage. The
labor and other costs In the construc-
ton of fence are practically the
same whether a heavy or light grade
Of wire is used, but with heavy wire
the fence lasts so much longer that
this cost of construction Is distributed
over q much longer time. That this Is
appreciated by a majority Of farmers
is indicated by the increase in the
percentage Of heavy wire that Is being
sold for fencing purposes.
Common Type Of Fence.
For the general farm on which all
kinds Of stock are kept, and on which
the rotations practlced call for tempo
rary pastures, the common type of
fence now being adopted in the north
central states is one which has mp
proximately ten line wires and total
height of about four feet. The bottom
wires are spaced about three inches
apart. Such fence constructed from
all No. 8 wire with a strand Of barbed
wire on the top, Usage orange, locust,
red cedar, steel, or cement line posts
set rod apart, and ends and braces
Of the same materials as for the line
posts at distances of 40 rods, Is now
being built on many farms and Is
proving serviceable and economical
when Its long period Of usefulness Is
considered. Such fence Is exception
ally durable and should last approx.
mately % years.

NOTES FROM THE 35oTH MACHINE
GUN BATTALION,
Camp Grant, Illinois.

The officers continue to finish
courses at the Divisional School OF
Arms with creditable grades. Nearly
every officer in the Battalion has
taken the special gas mask instruc.
tion. This weep the Battalion surgeon
is instructing the enlisted men in the
use of the mask.
The occasional parades are becom.
ing real features. General Barnum
and Major Lee seem proud of the
showing their boys are making.
With the opening of spring, taget
practices and outdoor exercises are be
coming popular.
The school for men who can neither
read nor write is being conducted
nightly by the company commanders.
1t is the hope that every man will be
able to sign the payroll before much
longer.
A successful entertainment given by
Company A was well attended by a
large number of guests from Chicago,
Rockford, and Elgin. A musical pro.
gram and dancing, set off by an elab
crate luncheon, were the features OF
the occasion. Out of town guests de.
clared themselves as being perfectly
delighted with the courtesies they re
ceived.
Companies B and c have installed
pool tables.
About 100 men from North Carolina
were added to the Battalion this week

THE A RECITAL.

The Clyde Leroy Glass Recital at
Ebenezer last Wednesday night was
the most brilliant and successful af-
fair along musical lines ever record
ed in Kansas City. And to Mrs. w. T.
Osborne, the aggressive and charming
wife of the distinguished pastor, is
due the credit of this remarkable sue
cess. Every foot of space in the large
auditorium and the lecture room was
sold and than a sundred seats
were placed in the Choir loft, chancil
and around the wall, while equally as
many cheerfully paid the price of ad.
mission for the privilege Of standing,
while t he doorkeepers report that
more than a hundred persons were
turned away. The anne wonderful
success that characterized Mrs. Os-
borne's efforts during her long resi-
dence in Omaha has followed here
here and she will doubtless give many
as equally successful and delightful
entertainments during their pastorate.
