Yh Are a
Practical Man.
That being the case, you have good common
sense. We appeal to your practical judgment
and cood common sense, and, if our points are
well taken. l)elieve we ought to get together and do business. We as
sume that vou want fence, and being the manner of man above de
scribed, it is safe to say that you have passed the barbed wire era
ami want the best WOVei wire fence you can procure.
You want a fence that will be an ornament to
The ! ente the faril) that will successfully turn all stock
That Ion Want. wtfcout injury to either animals or fence;
one that will not sag or bag between the posts; one that will do irst
class service for a long term of years, and not be tiled with
broken lateral wires when the frosts of January contract it, or
look like a carpet rag festooning the currant bushes in the hot days
of July and August; a fence that will conform perfectly to the
snrfaee of the ground, without cutting or lapping when you
want to take it over a hill or down into a gully; one in which the up
right wires are heavy enough to give some support to the mesh, and
put on the fence in such a way that a good share of the life of the
wire is not gone lwfore they ever get to do service in the field; with
the upright wires heavy enough and close enough together
so that a pig can neither crowd through the mesh nor kink up the
wire and roll under. You want a fence that is complete in the
rollreadv to stretch and staple full width as soon as posts are set.
The Lamb Fence is the "best looker' ever put on posts,
and there is nothing you can get from an equal expenditure which
will so improve the appearance of the place, or add so much to its
value.
It is high enough neither horses nor cattle can reach over
it when feed is short and crops look tempting on the other side, awl it
is close enough in mesh so that neither pigs nor sheep can spread
the wires and crowd through. Beware the man who cheapens fence
by wide spacing of upright. A 200 lb. man can go through an
four-inch space letween laterals, where the uprights are thirty inches
apart, before such a fence has leen in service one year, and a hog or
calf has equal intelligence in that matter.
The Material. To make a fence stand up and preserve its
shape, you must have it elastic; to make it elastic you must have it
of hard steel wire almost spring steel; that is what you get
in the LAMB.
Galvanizing is the Itest protection that can be had for wire;
the coating should be uniform, even and smooth. You cannot get
better galvanizing than you find in the LAMB fence.
The Construction. Your good sense tells you that if you
put No. 11 laterals in a fence, and uprights of No. 14 or No. "12,
vour uprights will give out long before the laterals. When you get
the LAMB vou will find that all the wire in it, uprights, locks aud
all, is of a substantial size, and hard steel at that
Another very important point is in the Way the upright is
put on. You are a practical man, and you know that it is only a
question of the number of times that you bend any piece of metal
back and forth before you break it. If you want to break a piece of
wire you pass the ends and draw it to a kink. Now that is just what
you do when you wrap one wire around as small a circumference as
another wire, and the larger the wire you use to make the wrap, the
more vou break the coating and the fibre and weaken the wire at the
joint.' In the LAMB you get a straight, heavy upright in one
.piece, not weakened by any wrap er kink, aad that has not
lost half its life by being worked before it gets into the fence..
But the practical and sensible men on the farm have need of
something that is durable, that is enlcieut, that is a time and
money saver, that is simple, strong and easily handled, and
tkpw fild k ia the LAMB fence.

Sap't. Leavy is to be congratulated
on securing the services of such a man
as Prof. Pattengill of Ann Arbor, for
his teachers" institute. Wo heard
Prof. Pattengill ia the institute at
Fargo. N. D., last summer, where he
was not only the general favorite of
the teachers bat because of his con
genial, practical manner and "mix
ing" qualities, waa also popular with
basineas men. Teachers cannot
afford to miss tha inspiration that
comes from contact with such a man.
Sap't. Leavy could do no more for his
teachers than he has done by securing
Mr. Pattengill for his institute.
A Very Ceaplimaatary JTetiee
One of the most original comments,
because of its emphatio way of ex
pressing its approval of the big Camp
bell Brothers shows, whioh exhibit
here Friday. May 13, ia the following
from the Evening Herald of Charles-
toa West Ya. :
Every promise that Campbell Bros.
made was f alfllled and more too. Tho
people were astonished and agreeably
surprised. The show was Immense.
The best circus acts ever seen in Char
leston were given under the big tents
of the Campbell Bros. The menagerie
aad museum was superb.
To partioulnrize it would require n
page. The Campbell Bros., are gentle
men and know how to handle a large
crowd and make everybody feel at
home and they know how to pli
them.
