scoud shoveling will complete the ditch
es and bank. The wires are then placed
bn the posts and the fence is completed.
IF the ground on each side is heavy turf
the bank may be more narrow and steep
than one made wholly of loose earth,
which however will in time become well
sOdded. Two men with a two horse team
will plow the burrows and make the
bank thirty rods long more or less, in a
day, while the reduced amount of wire
required and the shorter posts which
may be used will render this fence as
cheap as the one with five or six wires on
level ground. The posts may be at least
one rod apart, if intermediate vertical
cross pieces with the lower ends nearly
reaching the ground are used, to which
the wires are stapled to keep them in po-
sition. Fig. represents the appearance
Of such fence, and Fig. Q is a cross sec

fences will produce heavy drifts, the

RUST IN WHEAT.
Opinions Expressed at Farmers Confer
ences Held In Sydney, Australia.

Opinions Expressed at Farmers Confer
ences Held In Sydney, Australia.
It has been estimated that Australia
loses nearly 1000, 900 annually through
the rust of its wheat crop. To find a
remedy big prize in money has been
offered and conferences have been held
in Sydney to consider this important sub
iect of rust The opinion prevailed gen
orally that certain varieties of wheat
are much better able to resist rust than
others, and that by judicious cultivation
and naturalization still better varieties
may be grown" They seem to be almost
unanimous that "early maturing sorts
can be made TO escape the dangerous sea-
son, and that rust is due to climatic con-
ditions that can only be combated, but
never entirely overcome" Evidence has
been gathered by direct experiments,
and by information received from farm
ers in response to questions put to them,
which confirms the soundrsss of previous
recommendation in regard to early SOW
ing, and the less liability to disease of
crops grown in rotation, and it has Also
been shown that as rule thinly growing
crops suffer less from rust than do thickly
growing crops.
In regard to curative measures, it has
been found that solution composed of
one part sulphate of copper and 400 parts
water destroyed the vitality of the
rust spores, and that a solution of one
ounce of sulphate Of iron to tho gallon of
water, when sprayed over growing crop
at time when rust was about to break
out, prevented its appearance until a
fortnight or three weeks later; and even
if applied when the rust had attacked
the plant, destroyed all outward appear
ance Of the fungus and prevented its re-
appearance till fourteen days afterward.
Mr.. Smith Ellis, who has claimed the
prize for his discoveries in the matter of
rust prevention, says in recent paper
that "the wheat growers themselves are
the sole propagators of rust by the abuse
Of their seed wheat When they cease to
abuse their seed wheat and treat it in a
rational manner like all other seed that is
grown, saved and stored by practical seed
growers. they will no longer be troubled
with rust in their crops. The cost of
doing SO is nothing; care is all that is re-
quired to secure that object"

Growth of the Creamery System.

1t is probable that fully one-half pound
more butter is recovered from each hun
dred pounds of milk under the creamery
system than can be made by a private
dairy as usually managed Allowing
that each COW produced 5000 pounds Of
milk per year, which Is about the aver
age, there would be an increase of
twenty-five pounds Of butter for each
COW per annum to the credit of the fac
tory system. 1t is not difficult to be-
ieve that this increase is easily alb
sorbed by the market because Of the
improved quality of the butter. If
there is any drop in the price of butter
it will not do to ascribe 1t to the cream
cry system until we have taken into ac-
count the enormous output Of the but
terine factories.
A careful review of the subject will
reveal these two interesting phases:
First, the market demands for the most
part a high grade product, is willing to
pay for 1t and can absorb an enormous
quantity without materially affecting
the prices. This enormous demand for
good butter has been met by the cream
cry in very satisfactory way. In the
second place, it is surprising to see the
prices stand as well as they do when
such large amount of imitation butter
is brought on the market and placed be-
side the product of private diaries and
the enormous output of the creaneries.
In thus speaking of private diaries The
Gazette does not have III mind the scat
tered few that turn out that exception
ally fine product that goes direct to con-
sumers. These centers of choice produc-
ton are legitimate and should be en-
coursged; they will probably never be
supplanted. The average farm butter is
the kind that suffers, and between the
oreameries on the one hand and butter
inc on the other it is having hard time
of it.
The great lesson in all this is that the
average consumer desires good butter
and is willing to pay fair price for it,.
With the better average product comes
a greater consumption, and consequent
ly steadiness Of Fair prices. breeders
