It being a warm day, and me not being the type who’s hard to persuade to keep from anything sav­ ouring of manual flavour I dallied to talk. V-' I’ve heard some convincing’'Wk in' my day but this fellow had anything beat for <a mile that I’ve ever heard of yet. He represented some firm sell­ ing those new electric fences and he started in to convince me that I should have at least one. First of all he started on the tactics that my nei­ ghbour Jed Higgins had bought one. Now, during my younger days I have tried very hard to “keep up with the Jones” family, but after seeing them break up and the older folks go to the county home I decided that if I mind­ ed my own P’s and, Q’s I would do well to string along and maybe have enough for a decent burial. . That line failing, he started on taf- fying me up as being one of the most progressive farmers in the district and of how the other people were natur­ ally looking to me to purchase one. He said things about this column that would make you bjush to the deep dy­ ed crimson of Grandpa’s long flannel “undies”. Having failed on all these points he proceeded Co ask if he might give a demonstration of the fence. He as­ sured me that it would be no trouble at all, and before I could say either yes or no, he was lugging his coil of wire and the little box down towards the barn. Dividing the east meadow there is a row of posts which the hir­ ed man installed this year for the pur­ pose of building a fence and convert­ ing one half of the meadow into pas­ ture as soon as the second growth hay get’s a start. Across these posts he strung up his apparatus and from there to the end of the barnyard fence. Then he asked me to turn some of the cattle in, if possible some of them who were in the habit of breaking fences. I im­ mediately brought Sir Timothy, the fighting sire of our herd, from his1 stall and let! him have the run of the en­ closure. He minced around for a while and strange to say made no in­ dication of coming over, where the hay lay in windrows. He just'wasn’t interested. About that time Suchansuch the col-' lie pup came dawling along from a morning session with the ground hogs and Sir Timothy hoisted fighting col­ ours and came at him. Just what1 made him stop when he came to the fence I don’t know. Perhaps it was the fact that we were moving toward the electric apparatus... The dog made a scamper across after a field mouse and Sir Timdthy brought his head up in a sport of defiance. ZINGG! He touched the new fangled wire fence . . . and for a moment stood in stun­ ned silence. Up came the tail in a Communistic twirl of defiance for law and order and with all hooves working he made for the centre of the field. Prancing and snorting he wheeled over toward the end of the barnyard fence a'nd sail along not noticing the, fine strands of wire. ZINGG! He was shocked again and this time he wheel­ ed abruptly and made for the centre of the field again. Only this time he Wouldn’t move away from his stand, as if it were a safety zone in the mid­ dle of dangerous traffic. That young fellow was certain he had sold me. But I .just couldn’t see the merits of it. ‘“Young fellow,” I told him, “That fence of yours would take all the spirit out of my stock. In place of having contented animals, .they would all be afraid to even eat in the fear of getting a shock. I want them to enjoy life, not go along in. perpetual fear of electrocution.” 11 $ % DAYS ONLY JULY 13, 14,15 ' Byainrnwr Special — Discontinue^ Lines of Paint , Qts. ,,. 39c % Pts. .., 10c Gallons ,.. $1.69 ; Sovereign Linles, including Enamels, Floor Enam­ els, Varnish, Paints, etc..................Quarts only 49c Canada Paint — A well known line; quarts reg. $1.20, for ............,.............................. 75c C.
