An Ingenious Farm Gate.

J. e. Blodgett, having noticed a de-
scrlption of farm gate, is impelled
to say:
"If cheap and good farm gates are
wanted let me add few hints. Many
gates of the old style, with heavy dou-
BILE cross pieces and braces, whether
with hinges or on rollers, are too heavy
to handle, often out of ORDER and too
costly for common farm use.
If the gateway space between the
fence posts is about twelve feet, take
four or five narrow boards thirteen
feet or more in length and lay them
down, with proper spaces between
them. Cut three uprights, cross pieces.

wide, and as long as the gate is high.
Put one across at each end and one at
the middle of the gate, and firmly nail
each of them at each crossing with
common wire nails, long enough to go
through and clinch strongly. When
they are so clinched your gate Is done.

Surely lie had done everything that
could be done. But even while rolling
along the street Carls determination
mad not wavered.
AS he rose to his feet he paused but
moment, then he dragged the bicy-
Gle to curb, where he left and dashed
into a narrow passageway between the
buildings. He was familiar with the
place, and knew that the cab. it 1t
kept straight on to the station, would.
after driving down the side OF the
block. turn into another street and
pass the other end of the alley.
His guess as to its course was cor.
rect. for just before he reached the
end of the passage he saw the cab
trundle by at an easy pace. He
crouched close to the wall until 1t was
safely past. and neither Mr.. Barker
nor his cabman noticed him.
Then he darted out, seized the rear
spring of the conveyance, threw his
legs over the axle. and hanging down

saw the apparitlon in mud standing
behind his customer he nearly toppled

Mr.. Barker turned to learn the

himself confronted with paper held
in an extended, dlrt-begrimmed hand.

Truck Farming.

The over-supply Of staple crops
causes some farmers to turn their at
tention to truck farming With a
good market at hand, this business
should be profitable, although truck
crops are perlshable, and cannot be
held back for more favorable prices,
rs can be done with staple crops. How.
ever, there is a large demand for vege-
tables and small fruits, and proper
cultivation and careful marketing will
bring paying results, taking one year
with another. Such products need to
be handled promptly, as, for instance,
strawberries, which must be put upon
The market at once. They are too often
sent to the larger cities for better
prices, and prove disappointment
when fair profit would have been re-
allied If they had been sent to the
smaller towns.
The truck farmer should have a
knack for marketing his produce, if
possible putting it into the hands of
the consumer. A lack of ability in this
direction is the chief cause of failure
a luiS liue VI turning. Inc Truck
farmer usually sells his vegetables and
small fruits to the grocer, or to COM
mission men, when with q little more
perseverance he could reap the entire
profits. Prompt attention to the de-
tails or business, and courage to meet
small profits are the conditions essen
Iial to truck farming TO grow fruits
and vegetables successfully requires a
considerable outlay of money and la
bor as well as turning to account
every available means. The unlnltl-
Rted would hardly believe how much
attention, fertilizing and soil turning
the business requires. What would be
an excess of fertility for grain crops
Is seldom sufficient for garden vegeta-
bles.
Taking the country over there are
comparatively few farmers who pro.
duce small fruits and vegetables In
sufficient quantities to supply their
own families. 1t seems strange, in.
deed, that such necessary articles OF
food, so easily produced on the farm
are not more abundantly supplied.
