Setting Posts for Stability.

Many farmers are sorely puzzled as to
the best means of setting posts so as to
insure stability. Following is what The
Prairie Farmer had to say on the sub
ject recently:
One fact must be constantly remem-
bered: the condition of the soil has much
to do with the permanent stability of
the posts. There is no doubt in spongy
soils likely to move that sharpened posts
well driven down stand the best. Why?
1t will not prevent heaving, but the
heaving will not be so marked, and q
few strokes with the maui after the frost
has left the ground in the spring will
force the posts evenly back into position.
We know Of no really efectual means
Of preventing the lifting of posts, except
by setting so deep that frost cannot get
below them. As a rule little difficulty
is experienced at depth of three feet.
Spongy soils here are most usually next
clays; then loans, and last of all, gravelly
and sandy soils. The smaller the hole,
after allowing space for tamping, the
better. The tamping must be thorough
at the bottom and at the top. Holes
bored two feet, and the posts driven the
rest of the way, stand we'll. These are
generally driven by man with heavy
maui, using wagon to stand in.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-03-13

There is nothing gained by using posts
with knotty, enlarged bottoms. 1t does
not prevent heaving, and, if necessary
to take them out, they must be dug out.
This style of post is shown in the cut at
B, common earth being used in tamping.
At and at D, the proper forms of posts
are shown. If there is water in the
bottom of the hole, drive the post from
above the top line of water. You can
never lamp post soIidly in water. At
D is shown post tamped with broken
stone or gravel. We do not think it pays
unless the material may be easily OBJ
tanned. But the material for tamping
with should be the most solid Of that
coming out of the hole. The lighter, If
used anywhere, may be near the top.
At the top of the cut is shown a proper
tamping rod, the lower end fattened for
ease in tamping.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-03-13
Corn Fodder for Sheep.

Stephen Powers, whose opinions on
farm matters are worthy of consideration,
thinks there is no way of disposing of
corn fodder which affords more salts
faction than to give it to sheep. His
custom is to put one bundle in q Slated
rack twelve or fourteen feet long, divi-
ding it into halves and laying the tip end
of each half toward the outer end Of the
rack. This enables every sheep to get a
fair portion Of the foliage, not being re-
stricted to either butts or tips. If more
than this amount is put into a rack at
once the sheep cannot penetrate it and
pick clean the center Of the mass. The
stalks are thrown out every day, and the
straw oats being scattered over them fill
up the interstices and make, under the
constant trampling Of the sheep, solid
bed which retains the liquid manure. In
the spring this is Covered over thick with
straw and left until fall to rot. 1t is then
perfectly brittle and easy to handle.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-03-13
Points Worthy of Attention.

Corn charred on the cob is q good form
Of giving charcoal to poultry and swine.
Much difficulty in churning in winter
is due to keeping the cream at too cold a
temperature.
Ensilage has been almost universally
successful wherever fair trials have been
made, especially in localities where the
winters are long.
Care well for the feet and legs of
horses when putting them into the stable,
and so prevent scratches and lameness.
Top ventilators in poultry houses are
being vigorously criticised by P. q. ia
cobs and other poultrymen.
A Mississippi farmer finds from ex-
perience that no stock pays as well for
the time and money invested as a flock
of sheep proportionate to the amount of
pastrage.
Light barley boiled is claimed to be
excellent feed for horses, putting fine
coat on them, though not SO good for
horses at hard work.
Succulent roots, such as turnips, pars-
nips, beets, etc., require for keeping not
only a cool temperature but moisture
enough in the atmosphere to prevent
ehriveling.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-03-13
