Pid you know this before? Such
an immense auiu of money teem in
credible, yet it i the correct amount,
Also it w a fact that fence coat more
than all other farm improvement
combined! It is ahetdutely essential
to the preservation of your property
and stock that you. have good fence
and keep them in good order. This
fence question i always pressing
itself upon you, and the tUcndous
aggregate coat of fence render the
suoject worm tne most caretui con
sideration. Untold trouble ha been experi
enced for many year and the general
advance along the line of improve
ment ha resulted in the widespread
substitution of wire fencing (or the
various form . of wood fence. Hut
with the new era of wire fence the old,
old fact that anything ia only aa
atrong a it weakeat part haa Wit
time and aRain conspicuously demon
atratcd. Wire fencing In all it var
um applications to different pur
jHwes i undoubtedly taking the lead
in the conatruotion of the world'
fence today. Tltia ia ao because it is
the moat economical and nioet dur
able, even in it earlier and cruder
forma.
The great draw back to all iron
fencing ha been the difficulty of se
curely fastening the joint (wire to
wire) o that tliev will not slip. ,
These joint have alway slipped. '
They constitute the one weak point.
If they become loose the whole fenced
soon goes. That ha been every-:
one' experience and is the base of all
trouble with wire (cueing. !
Recently a genius solved the prolv
lem by inventing a clamp which
bind the wire and bend and "an
chors" a joint into perlect security.
The thing ia ao simple that people
wonder why someone did not think of
it before. But the important point is
that the clamp does its wonderful
work unerringly, and from now on all
wire (ence can he made tenfold more
durable. Of course the big parent
company that secured the patent tor
thi wonderful "anchor clamp" is
having ji phenomenal success. "An
chor" fence are multiplying like hot
cake everywhere, fur the discovery of
the "anchor clump" in wire work is
Comparable to the deed of the niau
who invented the head to the ordinary
pin of commerce,' and an old-fashioned
wire fence can lie converted
into an "anchor" fence if you have
some of the little "anchor clamps"
and a pair of pinchers. The Port land
Anchor Fence Company, which has
it headquarter at 742 Nieolai street,
Portland, Or., control the sale o(
"anchor" (once in the Northwest,
and they tend very interesting
pamphlets and pictures, telling all
about fetatea, free of cost, to anyone
who tends them his address.

A Constitutional Affection. I -
Sprays, washes, powder, salve, medicated
tobacco and cigarettes, however long and persistently
used, do not cure Catarrh. They relieve temporarily
the inflammation in the throat and nose, and enable
you to breathe more easily and freely, but the con
tinual rush of impure blood to these parts keeps up
the irritation and ultimately produce ulceration of
the glands, when the breath become exceedingly
offensive and the soft bone of the nose are frequently
destroyed. The catarrhal inflammation extend over
the entire surface of the mucou membrane, or inner skin ; the stomach, kidney
and lungs are often involved ; the whole system soon become affected by the rapid
absorption of poisonous matter into the blood, and the disease that you had hoped
to cure with'simple local remedies, assumes a dangerous form.
I had Catarrh about IS year, and
trleddurin th time everything-1 could
hear of, but nothln- did m any rood.
At last I eama to- th conclusion that
Catarrh must be a blood dlaaaaa, and
daelded to g-lve 8. 8. S. a trial. I oould
lee a little improvement from the llrat
bottle, and continued It three or four
month, or until I wa cured. Hav

"Catarrh is a constitutional disease a blood disease which ia frequently
inherited, and only a Wood medicine, auch aa S. 8. S., can remove the hereditary
taint, destroy the poisons that have been accumulating in the system for year
perhaps, and restore the blood to a healthy and pure condition. The inflamed
membranes and diseased glinda are healed by the ricli, pure blood which is carrUd

"I am a firm believer in the em

Pale People, the remedy having been
used in my family with highly grati

1 wa a sufferer from general debility.
I seemed to lie lacking in vitality,
ana tired out most of the .time and
sleep gave me no rest or refreshment.
I wa troubled with headache much
of the time and my illness incapaci

"A sister-in-law living in Nebraska,
who had suffered very mueh anil who
had used Dr. William' Pink Pills
with good result, recommended
them to me and t decided to try
them. I had taken but two or three
dose of the pill when I found that
they were helping me, and further
use of tho remedy brought ueh relief
that I am glad to ofler thi public
recommendation of Dr. William'
Pink Pills for Pale People in the
interest of suffering humanity.

The Toad In the Hock.
Of late days I have noted, sity re
cent writer, a considerable number of
reputed cases of the occurrence of
live frogs and toads In what were al
leged to he solid rocks. Tills Is, of
course, an old, oltl story that appears
to possess perennial powers (like the
toad) of revivification. I lind thought
that Dean Buckland (father of the
genial Frank) bad exploded the toad
In the rock myth once for nil. The
Dean Inclosed toads and frogs In cells
cut In blocks of atoue, and burled them
three feet deep lu his gurden. Here
the conditions were even less rigorous
than those under which the amphibians
ore reported to survive for uges lu the
"solid rock." Demi lluckliiud's toads
were nearly all dead by the end of the
first year of entombment, and none sur
vived the second year.

such thing as good birth or bad birth,
because It Is all both good aud bad.
When any one beglus to boast thst h

because there Is no such thing as "a
long line of ancestry;" one's ancestry
vanuot le represented by a "line,'' but
by an Inverted pyramid. Every on ot

dred and thousand of long line of
ancestry, some of them proud, per

pride, but rather the reverse. It will
not do to try to follow them all too far
back. Borne one of the many will sure

gallows tree. We cannot pin our faith
to the one cavalier, and Ignore all tbe
