KatlonaJ Crop Improvement Service. A SQUARE-PEA Tz-rX-MEKCIIAN-dise wave is sweeping the couniry. This ia largely on account of the organization of the Farm Bureau federation.Steel fencing is a poo J illustration. Quality is wh it founts iu fenoe. Perhaps you may have nveived tempting invit.iiii.na to ordor your fence by mail, under promise if a great saving to ourself, at a price which teems cheaper 'than that which you would pay to your own reliable home dealer. You can always protect yourself against fence frauds by noting that it conforms with the description in the catalogue, aa to the height, gaue of all wires, ppacfs between lateral wires, diotance between stay wires, weight per rod and weight per roll. If the weight is not given in the catalogue, you had betty buy tome other fence. The wire from which fence is made,

m bought and sold by the ton, but when you buy it as fence, it comes by the rod. A ton of wire which i under gauge, will maie many more rods of fer.ee rlian a ton of wire which is full gaue. That's why the weight per rod ehuuld alwiya go with the fence and you should put it on the scale yourself and tee what you are getting and what jou are paying for. If you order fence by nail, you do the following things: 1. You tend your money way revera.1 weeks before you receive the fence. 2. You buy the fence and pay for it before you sea it. 3. When you have added your freight, ytm will find that you have paid a somewhat higher price per pound for what you get. If the farmers will insist that every line of business shall furnish a simple test of quality so that a man may know what he buys, the price does not so much matter. Quality ia what counts.
