You may as well talk about going
without eating as going without
fences.
If you have a house and
home you must have a fence around
it.
If you have a farm you must
mark its boundaries by fences, and
also shut in the stock with fences.
A fence is in many ways as import
ant as a man’s house. As a commun
ity grows the subject of fences assumes
more and more prominence.
The success of the "Anchor” fence
in the United States has been phe
nomenal for the chief reason that it
combines economy, strength and
beauty in a way that instantly ap
peals to everybody. In the Eastern
states , where it has been known lon
ger, the factories making it are
pressed to full capacity.
In this
state, where it is comparatively new,
its widespread adoption seems to be
only a question of the agents getting
around and showing their wares to
the people.
There is ample reason for all the
talk going on about the “anchor”
fence, as it is solving the great fence
problem satisfactorily. It is not only
well adapted to ornamental work,
but it is the biggest kind of a blessing
to stock raisers and ranchmen gener
ally. It is made of heavy wire and
the joints are held rivet-tight by the
patent “anchor” clamps.
It does
not cost as much as the old-fashioned
fences, yet it lasts practically forever.
It is worth anyone’s while to write

Evidences of prosperity exhibited by
one of the colored employes of the
White House, best known as George,
have made him tlie envy of his asso

suit of "store clothes.”

lady who was riding in a trap ’lie se

Not long since the official White
House eat gave birtli to twelve kittens
an even dozen and no more. The old
cat and her fatuity were in George's
keeping. When the event became
known in official and social circles there
was a* great demand for kittens born
beneath the roof of the executive man

Learning that George was their keep

supplied the demand was as great as
ever.
As some of the kittens had brought
as high as $5 each, George could net
think of retiring from the cat business
He went among ills friends i t South

White House ones and passed readily
for the genuine article. When a cub

Extermination of birds is not alone
the work of fashionable vanity but of
fashionable gluttony. Tlie seizure In a
New York cold-storage warehouse of
great numtiers of dead birds during tlie
close season illustrates the easy eva
sion of the law by those careless of con
sequences.
In hotels travelers often find upon the '
bills of fare the names of birds un
known to ornithologists and dictionary
makers. When asked what kind of
birds these represent the waiters are
permitted to answer only by smiles and
silence, or by confessions of Ignorance.
In the cold-storage house in New York
were found so many birds that the le I
gal fines would have run to millions of
dollars. What would they amount to
for the United States? As a result of
such practices everywhere those butch
ers and dealers who obey the law are
really punished for their honor, while
the reckless are rewarded by great
profits.
We are fond of pointing out excellent
spheres of work and usefulness for
those who are greatly troubled by a
few deaths of animals In scientific lab
oratories. Why should this stupid and
ruinous war of extermination of birds,
with Its great resultant suffering, not
arouse the energies of the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals?—
