years, and l think it superior 10 any
other, portable or permanent. Have
your boards IA feet long, 5 inches wide
and 1 inch thick. Take two narrow
boards 31a feet long; cut notches in
them l inch deep, as far apart as you
want the boards, and fasten them to
the barn floor, to put the ends of the
boards in, one at each end. These
boards are inches apart. Then cut
three strips same length of these, nail
Dne in the center and the other two 70
inches from each end. Use wire nails
and clinch well. This makes one pam
ell, as shown in Fig. l.
How to put it up Set posts 10 feet
apart. Raise the panel inches from
ground, and bore 5s-hole through the
post finder the top board, into which
drive the hook shown at Fig. 2. This
hook is made of 15-inch square iron. Put
another hook under the third board

THE COST OF INTEMPERANCE.
An Urgent Plea In Behalf of Tenn

perance.
The Register some time ago called
attention to the increase in the manu-
facture of distilled liquors in the
United States. The complete statistics
of the internal revenue department
make this increase clear, not only in
the case of distilled liquors, but of to.
bacco. The total number of cigars
made last year was 4, 400, sos, 9Sl, an in
crease of 3S7,002,7S4 The total num-
Der of cigarettes, 1915. 27O, 1856, an in
crease of 1856, 400, $50 The cigar bill of
the nation-domestic cigars only-is,
therefore, taking the average price as
~ cents, $3.50, 900, 900. The cigarette
bill will add at least $40, 900, 600 to
this, making the total $3.50, 900, 600. To
this must be added 5000, ZOO, 900 for to-
bacco in its various other forms. The
increase is figured at about $50, 900, 900.
That does pretty well for one year.
During the same time the increase in
distilled liquors was 100000 gallons
and 100000 barrels of beer brewed.
The increase in the former is not so
marked as the increase in beer The
tendency seems to be to the greater
consumption of the lighter drinks.
The total liquor bill was probably not
far from $1,000 600, 00O The increase
for the year about 100000 900. But
this does not mean that all temper
ance work has been ineffective, for
without efforts of that character the
increase would have been mnch larger
than it is. Surely these figures are APP
palling in their magnitude, and they
should arouse every patriot and
Christian worker to more earnest eff
forts in behalf of temperance. Iowa

TEA AND TEMPERANCE.
a Potent Factor in the Creation of Drunk

Toast or bread and tea have much to
answer for in the next world, if not in
this. Two-thirds of the drunkenness
among women is due to the excessive
use of strong tea. | was told that the
increase of drunkenness among young
servant girls in New York was alarm

girls were in the habit of keeping a
teapot over the fire most of the time.
This creates % form of stomach trouble

taken to relieve this pain, and in a
short time seems almost necessary. Do
not for moment think that would
not use either tea or bread, for |
should with liberal supply of nutri-
tious food. But not alone to take the
place of good food, for they are very
inferior in food value. In large cities
the tea drinler is, as rule, woman, and
it seems TO do for her what tobacco
does for men-produces strong desire
for alcohol This is question for odt
temperance people to think over. It
has always been my opinion that +
the community would spend little
more time studying food principles and
teaching the same to the intemper-
ate class saloons would soon close for

That tea and coffee excite and slim
ulate the nervous system there is not a
doubt, but many persons who would be
shocked at glass Of whisky and soda
before rising in the morning see no
disgrace in strong tea, and still by it
they are excited and hustered in their
manner. Tea in some possesses no
drawback, but such are the exceptions
which prove the rule. liable Talk.

A WORD TO YOUNG LADIES.
You Have a Part in the Moulding of Your
Brothers Character.

You Have Part in the Moulding of Your
Brothers Character.
And this leads me to the thought:
Let sisters not begrudge the time and
care bestowed on a brother. 1t is hard
to believe that any boy you know so
well as you do your brother can ever
turn out anything very useful Well,
he may not be a Moses. There is only
one of that kind needed for six thou
sand years. But l tell you what your
brother will be-either blessing or
curse to society, and candidate fol
happiness or wretchedness He will,
like Moses, have the choice between
rubies and living Goals, and your infiu-
ence will have much to do with his de-
deliverer of q nation, but he may. after
your father and mother are gone, be
the deliverer of a household What
thousands of homes to-day are ploted
by brothers. There are properties now,
well invested and yielding income for
the support of sisters and younger
brothers, because the older brother
rose to tine leadership from the day the
father laid down to die. Whatever you
do for your brother will come lack to
You again. If you set him an i'll
natured, censorious, accommodating
example, it will recol upon you from
his own irritated and despoiled nature.
If you by patience with all his infirm-
ties and by nobility of character, dwell
with him in the few years OF your COM
partnership you will have your own
counscls reflected back upon you some
day by his splendor of behavior in some
crisis where he would have failed but

Advantages Of Cool Roads.

The principal advantages of good
roads are that larger loads can be car
ried with greater speed. that farmers
can market their produce at whatever
time they can get the best prices, with
out being dependent on the weather,
and that they can also use the roads in
wet weather during the winter and
spring, when they cannot plow, thus
utilizing their horses when they would
otherwise be idle. Henry Irwin, B.A..
c. E., Montreal Can.

Or 80 cents per rod. This does not in
clude making of panels, or sharpening
of posts. This is about the price of
material here OF course cost varies
in different localities. Again the pan
els can be made to suit anyone, by
having wider boards or spaces, but the
object is to have them alike so they
will hang on the hooks on any post
Advantages of this fence: 1t can be
made ON stormy days in workshop or
on the barn floor. 1t does not take any
more nails. You save middle post
and that will pay for two hooks, and
they will last forever. By starting the
hooks back little it is very readily
taken down to be moved, or laid down
all winter, avoiding all snow drifts
Drive your posts in the spring if neces-
sary, and hang up again, and when
you wish to move them you can draw
Is or 20 panels at one load Instead of
bars or gates, / make them IL feet long,
only one post near each end, and one
hook in each post under the second
board from top, to fasten it. Bore a
hole in the width of board above the
hook and put tin in. 1t can be taken
out and put back again about as quick
as opening and shutting a gate, and
answers every purpose of an expensive
gate.-J. III. Rawlins, in Ohio Farmer

When you want to move the fence,
start the hooks back with blow or
two with the hammer.

of lumber to each panel Therefore

Wall-street men say that several
