We simply a>k for what we are always willing under all circumstances to give, justice. side of alt this, what shows up a country or neighborhood more than neat, straight fences? What will make or drive away a probable customer for a fartu quicker than good or noor fences? Good fences on any farm adas more to its selling value than the cost of building them. How often do yon hear the expression by a probable; purchaser, "that is probably a good farm, hut the fences are so poor I would have to spend time and money at once to repair them," or "this looks like good soil in this neighborhood but your farmers don't seem to be prosperous, the fences and buildings are so poor and dilapidated," or to the contrary, "ibis seems to be a very prosperous neighborhood. the fetic.es and buildings seem to l>e so neat and tidy.'* IUtt I have not time to say any more on this subject. The more you write or examine this subject the more interested you becomes, and the more vou can write, it is almost inexhaustible. Very many farmers don't stop to think of anything ol this kind. They don't look ahead but go on from year to year in the same old worn-out rut their forefathers trod, and then complain of jKjor success and that farming don't pay .a If business men would conduct their busafcss in the same wasteful way thev would goVnto bankruptcy very poon. Why do we often see some man raising a large family, educating them well, giving his family all the necessaries and a great many of the luxuries of life on a few acre.-- of land, ami probably an other with hundreds of acres inBie same neighborhood, barely making both ends meet. Look at their farms and I Ainess management and you soon find jboc cause. On the first farm I venture to prt diet you won't tind old worm fences cohering 12 or 1.) feet of land, the fence rows full of weeds, briars, bushes, etc., and the fence so poor that it is no protection to his crops. You will find everything in apple pie order all over his farm, while the opposite will be the case with the neighbor. This kind of farmers you can always spot. It makes no difference where you meet them they are always complaining of poor crops, poor prices and that farming is a poor business, and that they are a terribly abused class in general, they envy and abuse their more thrifty neighbors, and almost curse Clod Almighty for not feeding them with manna from Heaven and tliVn Uiey would growl if it was not cooked. There is another class of people in this world on a par with these (viz ) those who condemn ail patents and patent men on general principles They are generally too ignorant to understand , that on invention* depend the progress and | improvement of the world.

J Alnnton or a Port of the Craw or * . Wrcnked Vessel. ! An American sealer, while hooting I In Behriiig sea, was driven by a stone 1 into Asiatic waters and finally WVecleed off the coast. The crew cscaped in four j botits, three of which were soon aftcri wards picked up by an English steamer j and taken to Yokohama. Tho fourth t boat, in which there were six men, was not so fortunate. On board they had some seal meat, a jar of crackers and a small cask of water, and for six days • they drifted before a heavy storm. At the end of that time food and water ' ware exhausted, and when, three days ! later, they sighted land, they were weak j from hunger and thirst Tho first thing i they did after landing was to build a . fire and the next to pro hunting. Deer ! seemed to bo plentiful, and within a ! half-hour a fine animal was secured j and some choico steaks were soon broil\ ing. But before they could take a bite i a party of Japanese appeared and ; dragged the famishing men away, | bound them and bundled them into a j boat. They begged and entreated, but i could not make themselves understood, i After some delay, during which they ! fortunately received something to eat, ! they were taken to the mainland, thirty • miles distant, and put in ia.il. A week passed before an interpreter arrived, 1 and then it was revealed that the deer j on the island, one of which they had . shot, were regarded as sacrod by the Japanese, and therefore they had committed a serious offense. But the Japaneso are amiable people, and, when the situation was explained, the sailors were freely pardoned, and assisted to return to this country.—Golden Days WHEN YOI" SEE OUR fine DisDlau of doming try to I;© Sliown.

Very few of even the best informed farmers have any conception of the magnitude of this qncsUon. If we were to item ire and lay the true facts before them they would be astounded. When we say to you that the actual cost in dollars and cants paid out on an average each year in the T'. 8. for fencing is many times the coat of carry  nil branches of tho government, you can then only form a ."light idea of its immense proportions. Formers are only just beginning to awaken to the actual facts. They arc just I >egi nning to realize that each year as material grows scarcer and more costly, thst this grievous burden is piling higher and higher. And lliey are just beginning anxiously tci look for some way out of tin dilemma. Hume have resorted to wire lene ing, which generally proved very unsatisfactory, on account of tho danger to stock. Others' have resorted to picket fence, which has also proved generally unsatisfactory, cm account of its expense. The great question with them is to find some Satisfactory plan by which they can utilize their old rails to the best, advantage with tho least possible expense to make them last the longest and to make a fence out of them that will withstand be winds and turn their stock. Farmers as a rule heretofore have been very extravagant in fencing failing or not realizing the necessity or being saving of their fencing material, until necessity has forced them to call a halt. If any intelligent, fanner will siO|> and make a calculation of the waste of material, waste of land covered up with the old stylo worm fence, then add to it ill losi of crops Ci c'.i and every year by pour unices, the time spoilt every year rebuilding fences thrown down by stock and the wind on his own farm, and then figure the aggregate in Ids own county even, lie will bo so astonished at the result thai be can scarcclv believe bis own eyes and lV.ues.

This ilius have only one eriterion to jud;:e by, that is themselves. They ale so loul they eaiinot reeognfac anything else in others. 1 hey think because some patent right shark has singled them out as dupes and by roping them in has proved that his opinion ol them was correct, and these same very honest, virtuous gentlemen are jusi the very ones these same patent sharks ami swindlers are looking for They know they are just the ones that are dishonest and rascally enough to catch at anything they think they cull make a dollar at, no ditl'eronec it they do know it is of no actual value and tliev know i.hey must necessarily .swindle their neighbors to get their money back. Whenever you hear anyone condemning patents and patent ri'-'hi. men on general principles, you can make no mistake in classing him as a lirst-class fraud himself, as no honest man will condemn any manor set of men without judge or jury. An honest man will give credit where credit is due. An honorable gentleman or judge will hear the evidence hrstaud acquit or condemn accordingly. Suppose, we were to say all farmers were rascals because some farmers are known to he. Supposf we were to say all ministers were monsters because some of tliein have proved to lie. Suppose we were to stand in the entrance to a church and liecause we knew some of the congregation were hypocrites, say they were all hypocrites, what would you think of that? There is just as much sense and justice in that as in calling all patent right men swindlers. No man, no gentleman, no christian will say this. Those who do say this are beneath the contempt of even patent fakirs. There is another class who properly belong with them, those who buy their paper knowing it to he taken by a swindler aud buying at perhags 50 or HO cents or the dollar, thereby aiding and helping these sharks along in their swindling operations, and then when an honest article is placed on the market, sold on its merits in a straightforward manner by honorable men, when you go to them to sell your paper and thoy cannot buv it at the same ruinous discounts they hold up their iiands in holy horror, and with that white, sickly, hypocritical smile say, "Oh, no, I won't handle any patent paper." They are At comrades of the patent fakir swindler. They are so very virtuous and pious but their virtue aed piety is barely skin deop (Hell would be a paradise without them and Heaven a Hell with them). They talk aliout patent right men robbing the people. The meanest patent swindler and fakir on earth don't roo the people one fraction as much as they do. It is easy to read their title clear in any community where they live. The poor, the widows and orphaua are their vulture-like prey, and are the wit-' ne«see against them. This patent Is my own Invention ana I take a pride in making it a success. It is mine by discovery and by purchase. I have the same indisputable right to sell it as yon have to sell yonr horse or oow which you have raised for the market. I have only one way I can sell It. I cannot manufacture It ami ship It aa it most be made on the farm where tt la o««d Neither nan I go to each farmer and sell tt by (arm rirtts Kv Mfe would he too short «■» the only way 1 can sell It is by counties b<ock« of rouudea. er by states, awl let others do the retailing. In any kind of business It maaires a certain smoont of sdaaatlnn to make It a eoceees, and we make U owr business when we sail a :sflll contradiction, tliattlrabbs' , . nee is the fence for the farmers, by which \ they can utilize their odd rails to tin1 best , advantage and atthe least expense. Wedo , not say this mi our own judgement alone, , lull because our judgement has been and is hacked by the judgement of thousands upon , thousands of the best farmers in the UniU'd States anil Canada, and by the fact thai it has stood all kinds of crucial tests for the , last seven years in all climates and conditions, by the fact that it has im t all compe- ' tition and never yet failed to come oil' victorious. and by tiie fact that it is fast gaining in popularity, that it is fast becoming the fence of the'country, fast supeiceding alt other fences, that it is fast becoming as staple in demand as Hour or nails In many suctions farmers order a farm right of (Vabl)s' Combination fence, wire and pinchers to build it, the same as they do any other staple article of merchandise. And why not? Is there any farmer so near the insane asylum as to pay out two dollars for fencing when he can make one do and do better. We invite investigation. We have no fears of the result. The better judgement the more certain we are of the customer. When any article has true merit it must and does in ail cases come to the top. Jt is only a matter of time and patience. For instance, take the sewing machine, see what a light it had before it was finally recognized as an article of necessity. To day they are by almost every fireside in the land, 80 with the mower, binder, hay-ruke, drill, etc., they all had a hitter fight for supremacy, they arc now 011 top and to stay. And knowing that we have the true principle of fencing we have 110 fear of the final outcome.1 am going to make a statement right here that may cause some people to say I am a lunatic or a monomaniac 011 the subject of fencing, but I will also say right here that 1 will pay any person ten dollars per hour for every hour spent in the investigation if they do not find in the outcome that I am correct, and that my estimate is very conservative. Here it is, digest it, look up the facts, and then wonder that you have been so long blind to your own interests: Count just |1.00 on each 100 acres of land eacli year for loss of crops by poor fences, count just one dollar on each 100 acres for time spent uselessly in rebuilding fences, count just $2 00 per acre annnal rental for each acre of land saved by straightening your fences, multiply it by the number of farms of 101 acres there are in the United States, then multiply this amount by twenty and you will he surprised to find that in n term >>f twenty years the farmers of this country could buy and pay for every railroad iti the United States, could buy and pay for all the rolling stock belonging to them, could buy and pay for all the machine shops to make and repair the cars, could hire all the laborers connected with them and pav their wages for years in advance, could pav the remainder of the war debt, and have a snug sum still left. 8top and think of this von farmers and then investigate and see if I have told yon any lies. Why will you go on and pay ont large laim to get railroads through your counties, for pikes, etc., when this one item alone will in a few years place you as the owners in fee simple of them allT I . am no imaginative enthusiast, bnt liave figured this thing out in hard figures by arithmetical rules.
