IF
Fencing is the question you are about to consider. Whether
it be Field, Poultry or Garden it is necessary that you get just
what is best adapted for your purpose and to give the best results.
If you think of getting poultry fence, let us show you poultry fence
that is about three times as heavy as the ordinary Diamond Mesh
fence and at very little additional cost. This fence is heavy
enough to turn stock if necessary, and will turn smaller chickens
than the Diamond Mesh. New car of fence will be here in a few
days, so in order to be sure to have what you want at the time you
want it, let us set it around your yard.

BEHAVING ILL
River Remains Stationary Some
thing Unusual for Spring ,
The old Missouri river has been
doing quite well this year in the
hape of behaving. It has been al
most stationary for some time past
and the usual April and May rises
have failed to put in an appearance.
About a week ago the river took a
sudden notion to go up a few notches
and rose a foot and many thought
the belated April rise was In sight
but it has totally failed to show up.
Yesterday the river rose one-tenth of
a foot and this has been the usual
fluctuation for some time past.
The unusual spring weather is re
garded as being responsible for the
failure of the rise to appear as
scheduled, the cold of April and May
holding back the melting snow of the
mountains and keeping the tribu
taries down. It Is expected that the
June rise in consequence will be
higher than usual, although a great
amount of water passed off during'
the hot weather in March. Should it
turn out that the snow in the moun
tains has not melted the sudden
change from the cold spring to Bum
mer will result Jn a great deal of
water coining down the Missouri wat
ershed.
Rivermen who have been talked to
on the subject, however, express no
rears of a flood and believe that the
stream will be able to carry off the
