WIRE FENCE BUILDING.
Durability Depends Altogether Upon
the Way in Which the Anchor
Posts Arc Set.

The amount of time annually con-
sumed in the repair of wire fences
combined with the loss in crops and
in injured animals due to their being
out of repair We are confident would
foot up pretty big total. A. little
more time expended. however, In the
first construction of the fence, so that
ii may be constructed substantially
and according to correct principles will
very materially reduce these losses.
One of the first and most important
requisites of good fence is to have
the anchor posts SO set that they will
stay right where they are placed. The
failure to properly set these is perhaps
the most prolific source of poor fences
and the consequent losses therefrom.
There is much less strain on fence
that is kept ugh. and in proper shape
than on one that is not, because there
Is less effort on the part of the ami
mails to get through than where they
can see a more encouraging prospect

OLD WAYS MUST GO.
The Farmer Who Does Not Adopt the
Advanced Methods of the Day
Ii Sure to Fail.

The man who is engaged in agricul.
tural pursuits at the present day is ex-
pected to keep up and advance with the
agricultural progress Of the world He
must dispense with the old methods
and adopt the new and later Inventions
We cannot raise and fed our stock az
our foresathers did a hundred years ago
because We are advancing and land is
more closely taken up; consequently we
must work more on the order of the in
tensive system We know il is hard for
some farmers, who have been taught
and raised to do a thing a certain way,
to change to the better methods. It
seems to them that it is wrong, and oft
en- they cannot be blamed for feeling So
But We must gradually free ourselves
from these ideas. All the other depart
ments of the business world are advanc-
ing, and why should not agriculture adj
vance with it? The whole race of hui
mainly is depending upon agriculture
for living and the trade should not be
thought any the less of by anyone. The
man who is engaged in other pursuits
OF life should honor the farmer, as he
must understand that whatever he eats
comes from him. If the farming class
does not advance with the rest of the
world it will be to its own loss. 1t is
not natural that we should be satisfied
to work in the same road we did years
ago, or even one year ago. We should
strive to do better this year and make
an advancement wherever possible.
The best, easiest and most practical way
to advance ourselves is given in one SEN
tence, namely,-"Read plenty of agricul-
tural literature and apply the facts
gained to actual experience" The farm
Ing world would be far behind where it
is now if it were not for the help that has
been given us by farm literature. Every
farmer should try to make some i'm
provement and advancement every day.
Never let your business get the best of
you. but get the best of 1t, and you can
best do this by advancing with the rest
OF the world.-E. ]. Waterstripe, in Epit-
omist.

ne.,,.xin Abandoned r.rn..

A company in Boston is doing a big
business selling abandoned farms.
Here lies the solution of the New Eng
land problem. Farms that a century
or less ago easily sustained their own
ers have long since ceased to sprout
peas. What to do with them became q
leading question which none could sat
isfactorily answer. Now comes along

of success in that direction. Such a
condition of fence can be maintained
only when the anchor posts are SO set
as to resist any reasonable amount of
strain that may be placed upon them.
The accompanying cut represents a
very substantial anchor. The anchor
post should be large. and the heavier
the better. although actual weight Is
OF minor importance. 1t should be
of sufficient length to extend Az feet
into the ground, where a long stretch
Of four or 41ls-foot fence is 70 be
attached thereto, and have two-inch
block, the larger the better, spiked on
the rear side at its foot and one on
the front side just below the surface
of the ground, as shown in cut. II it
Is a corner post with two stretches of
wire attached at right angles to each
other there should be two sets Of
blocks spiked to the post to CORE
spond. The brace post should also
have a. two-inch piece spiked to its
front side just below the surface CT
the ground. A good heavy brace, that
will not spring, should be placed
against the brace post and supported
by a stone or block to keep 1t out of
the ground and prevent decay. The
other end of the brace should be placed
against the anchor post about midway
between the ground and top of fence.
1t is quite common to see the brace
placed against the top of the anchor
post, but placed in this manner 1t acts
as a lever to lift the anchor post out
of the ground. A wire Is next passed
round the brace PANEL from foot of
anchor to top Of brace post and twisted
as shown in cut. Twelve feet is very
good length for the brace pannel; a
longer one requires a heavier brace to
secure a given strength and too short
q PANEL makes the brace too steep.
The wires should be drawn up well,
but not too tight, as this will injure
the texture of the WIRE This is espe-
cially true in the case of single strand
wire. In cable wire the twist will
yield to any overstrain. Staples should
not be driven tight, as Is often done,
but left so the wire can have free
movement from end to end. II the
wire gets little slack at any time 1t
can then be frightened by hitching on
to either end II an animal runs into
such fence with great force the wires
will yield throughout their whole
length like a spring. and as the body
Is thrown back they return to their
former position, and may show but
little change from their former con-
dition. while the same impact against
q fence with staples driven tightly
would be sustained by that immediate
section Of the fence. The wires, II not
broken, would be stretched and in
jured in texture and left hanging so
that immediate repairs would be nee
essary. Even with a mild impact that
will do little injury to the wire 1t Is
drawn through the staples which are
too tight to allow 1t to return and II
hangs there loose and out Of condition
until repaired.-Prairie Farmer.

Commercial fertilizers are not very
extensively used in the middle west.
The lack Of interest is due largely to
the extravagant claims made for them
years ago by chemists and dealers Now
they are better understood. Very fire.
Quently they can be probably used for
special crops. and in connection with
barnyard and green manures. AS the
natural fertility of our virgin soils de-
creases they will become more and
more important Inform yourself con-
corning them and see il some OF your
crops cannot be increased by the use of
lime, potash salts. phophate or other
compounds. Judd Farmer.

Best Time for Caponi.inE.

The best time to caponize is when the
cockerels are about three months old.
II is not feasible to do it after cockerel
becomes mature, as the proportion Of
deaths, culls and slips is much greater
than with the younger birds. Capons
grow rapidly and mature early, as they
are quiet and peaceable. Their flesh re-
mains soft and Juicy like that of a young
chicken, and - rule, they bring con-
siderably more per pound than natural
birds They are most In demand from
February to juno and are not commonly
marketed until from ten to fourteen
months Of age. Capons make more
weight for the feed they eat than any
other fowls. as their only ambition Is to
eat and rest. two things which are ia
vorable to the production Of fat and
growth.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Blood Wine Cures
( Rheumatism

! Probably no medicine nor any doctor
ever cured as many people of rheumatism
Is has .'Blood Wine." Rheumatism and
neuralgia in the various forms-muscu-
lar, articular, chronic, periodical, linger-
ing, in fact, every kind has been wiped
out by BLOOD Wine," and no trace Of il
left.
If you are . rheumatic sufferer, try and
picture the pain that these poor people
went through, and the happiness that
they felt at being rid Of the disease.
From E. w. Appleton, of Bath, Ne. /:
: "Last June became afflicted with a pain in
my right limb. 1t extended from hip to ankle.
Ny physician called it rheumatism. 1t panied
me terribly, in fact could scarcely endure it.
After taking various things without being re-
lleved my physician prevailed upon me to take
Blood Wine.' / took just three bottles; that
was sufficient to thoroughly cure me. 1t Is the
greatest medicine ever saw"
Such a strong testimonial ought to
carry weight, and convince the most
skeptical. Here is another case, also in
the limbs. Mr.. A. N. Coulter, Of New
Bedford, Mass:
II suffered for some time with neuralgia in
my limbs. The doctors told me it WAS due to the
state OF my blood, and was unable to find q
cure until took Blood Wine 1t cured me-"
The New England States are terrible
States for rheumatism. Probably on
account of the moisture. People have it
badly, and are very hard to cure. Read
this one from James Robinson, of 314
Lisbon Street, Lewiston, Nc. i:
"Rheumatism has been an old disease with
me. had it for years. At times it almost
drove me to despair. Like most people / tried
about everything without relief. When your
Blood Wine came out didn't take much notice
OF 1t because had been disappointed SO often.
Finally heard SO much about 1t that decided
to try 1t. Well. was more than surprised at
the result. could hardly believe that was
cured. but am, and owe it solely to Blood
Wine' pronounce 1t q wonderful medicine"
In Terra Haute, Ind, at 202 Sonth
Eighth Street, lives Mr.. Dan Metzel, an
engineer, who is out in all kinds Of
weather. This is what he says:
"For some years was troubled with rheu.
matism. also lot Of disturbance with my kid.
neys. which at times almost made me unable to
work. Hearing of a few cases where Blood
Wine had been used with such good success
got a bottle at Baur's drug store and what It did
