Colors of Sardines.

The fresh sardine is a beautiful lit
tie fish. The scales on it's back are an
iridescent blue-green, the exact tint
which the sea so often takes, while be-
meath the scales there shows up the
most wonderful peacock blue. There
are bars on its back and sides when 1t
first comes out of the water like those
on the mackerel, but they seem to fade
and disappear the moment it Is exposed
to the air. The rest of It's body Is pure
silver.

WIRE FENCE BEST
It Must Be Built to Turn All Stock
Without Injury.
TWO QUALITIES ARE NEEDED
To BE Economical It Must Be Con-
structed as cheapIy as Is Consis-
tent With Durability-Weight
Fixes Price.

(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 II
must be built as cheaply as is consls-
tent with durability. The fence that
is erected at low initial cost Is not
necessarily economical, for 1t may pc
short lived.
Wire fences are very generally re-
placing those of stone, wood, ana
hedge wherever the latter are becom-
ing unserviceable. In selecting WOW
en-wire fence, 1t Is preferable to eco
nomize by eliminating unnecessary
wires rather than by using a 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 10
turn hogs.
Weiaht Determines Cost.
The factor which determines the
price of woven wire fencing Is its
weight, so that in fences Of the same
height wide spaced fence with COM
paratively few wires costs less than a
narrow spaced one with more wires.
On the other hand, 1t is becoming gen.
orally recognized that the use OF heavy
wire in fencing is economical. Inc
initial cost of the heavy wire Is great
er, but its durability Is more than sum
cient to offset this disadvantage. The
labor and other costs in the construc-
ton Of a fence are practically the
same whether heavy or light grace
Of wire Is used, but with heavy wire
the fence lasts so much longer that
this cost of construction is distributed
over a much longer time. That TINS is
appreciated by a majority of farmers
Is indicated by the increase In the
percentage OF heavy wire that Is Delns
sold for fencing purposes.
