attached to the bottom of the first post
and the top Of the eecorG for the first
space, and from the bottom Of the sec
ond post to the top Of the third for the
second space, and so on. These braces
should be made of two strands of wire
twisted together by means Of small
rod until they are very tight, II there
is a tendepcy TO loosen, the wire can be
further twisted and the slack taken
up i'm this way. This matter Of end
braces is very important and if the soil
is soft or if there is any danger of their
becoming looseneG, get extra large
posts and set them in the ground deep
er. say three and half to four feet,
To unrol the wire, place a tough
pole four feet long through the spool
and lay It across the wagon bed, so
that the wire will roll off the top Of
the spool. Stick small standards in
the staple at each side OF the bed 10
keep the spool from rolling off. Take
out the end gate, fastcn the wire to the
end post at the required height and
drive the team slowly, watching to see
that the wire does not become entar-
gled as It unrolls. When you get to
the twentieth post, stop the team,
brace the wagon so that it cannot run
backward FHSten one end of a chain
to the spoke Of the hind wheel next
the posts. and the other end of tho
chain to the wire, now turn the wheel
by hand and wind the chain up on the
hub until the wire is tight, and then
staple the wire fast to the posts, lit

put in braces occasionally to assist in
stretching. BY this mcthcd. one man
can build wire fence by himself. II

PHOTOGRAPHIC HINTS.

Bottles ia the dark room should al

can then be taken down in the dark
at a moments notice.
When pouring from a bottle always
hold tide bottle 50 that the label is on
the upper SIDE OF the bottle. Ifthis is
not done The writing on the label will
quickly become illegible, owing 10 the
dr;bbIiugs Of the liquid down the
side.
When using color,ess solutions and
clear glass bottles, write the for muIa
of the solution on the gummed side OF
the label Then carefuliy afiix il TO
the bottle. This can always be read
through the liquid, and the writing
never becomes efTaced.
Tonlng by gaslight is seldom salts
factory. C9lors are different, and the
difference between such prints as
those toned by daylight is very marked.
When toning by daylight care must
be taken that the prints are not ex-
posed to strong light and the tray
should be kept covered during the time
the prints are at rest.

BARBED WIRE FENCE
Description Of a Tried Method By
Which One Mah Can Bald

At each end cf the lire Of fenee set
three posts two ard a half feet deep,
tamliGr the dirt firmly about them
II the work is done in early spring, the
posts can be sLarpened aud driven il
with q maui. The posts should be just
one rod apart. The intervening posts
can be set about two feet deep and a
Iud apart. The value Of the baTbed
wire fence depends upon the tension
of the wires. If they are loose, the
fence is ineffective and dangerous for
farm animals. II the end posts are
firmly braccd and the wires tightly

In braeing, the plan suggested in
the accompanying Illustration is very
desirable. Between the end post and

DEWBERRY CULTURE.
Each Fruit Grower should Make an
Effort TO Raise ct Least
Few of the Plants.

There is no more delicious berry than
the dewberry when it is fully ripe. Even
when only turned black and not yet as
sweet as it becomes when perfectly
ripened it makes delicious sauce and
pies that come as nearly TO wholesome
ness as pies ever get.
The berries are two or three times
as large as blackberries and the plants
of most varieties are perfectly hardy.
The Lucretia is probably the best one
ever introduced, as il was the first, this
variety having been found growing
wild in Virginia by an Ohio soldier
during the rebellion. Noticing its
good qualities, he marked the place,
and after the war was ended he went
back and got the original plant, nam
ing 1t after his wife, Lucretia.
The difficulty with and chief cause of
complaint against the dewberry is its
trailing habit, although its dreadful
spines come in for considerable crit-
cism. AS there is no rose without
thorn, so IT. seems one of the best ber-
ries must have the longest and sharpest
thorns of any Of its family.
With all these faults it pays to have a
few dewberry plants, and usually these
make a place for themselves that leads
to an increase in the original planta.
tion. They should be trained to low
trellis or over a frame and given the
very disqualification, rememberingthat
it is impossible TO make the soil toe
rich for them. If this is kept in mind
dewberries will add TO the value Of the
berry products Of the farm and pro
duce crops that will overbalance any
physical failing its habit of growth may
develop.-Farmers' Voice,

For many years medical science has
been trying 10 discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the Olseoy-
ery made. DR.. Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years OF
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand re-
suit, announced the discovery OF
Swamp-Root, which has proven itself
most wonderful cure for all diseases Of
the kidneys and bladder
While Swamp-Root has proven such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, it has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles, and in the regulation and
cure o, all uric acid troubles.
Ifyourwater, when allowed to remain
undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, forms a sediment or
settling, or has cloudy appearance, it
is evidence that your kidneys and blad-
der need immediate attention.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
eessful in every case, that special ar
