FCMIGATING TENT.

with the aid of the agricultural college
and government and state experiment
stations and agricultural Institutes.
With this knowledge has come the ne
cessity Of better appliances for inducing
healthy plant growths and guarding
against diseases, both in fruits and veg
etables. A century ago the idea of
smudging tree to rid it of insects or
worms might have been scoffed at, but
now the need for an apparatus like the
one We illustrate can be easily compre-
hended. This tent-like device is intended
to inclose completely trees of considera-
BILE size, and is constructed of a series
of overlapping sections, which can be
placed In position while folded, and
allowed to fall down all around the tree
until the lowest section reaches the
ground. With the tree thus inclosed,
it is an easy matter to build a fire inside
the tent and apply the chemicals which
will fumigate the foliage or rid the limos
and trunk of any fungus growths detri-
mental to its health.-Chicago News.

Farming century ago consisted prin-

out the weeds and waiting for the har-

chemical processes through which the
soil induced the plant growth, and, con-
.seQuently.. no knowledge OF how the
plant growth could be forced by the ad-
dition to the soil of the chemical con-
stituents which were lacking. Likewise
the apples and small fruits were looked
upon as side issue, which must be left
largely to chance in producing profit

Millions of TURKEYS.

1t is estimated that 20, ,0OO, 900 turkeys,
or 200 O,OO0, 900 pounds. are consumed in
this country during Thanksgiving week
every year. Many millions of these pass
through the Chicago market on their
way to the towns of the middle west and
to the eastern commission houses
About 100000 are sold in Chicago itself
during that week. These turkeys come
from all parts Of the country, especially
from Pennsylvania and the. south and
west. Formerly some of the New Eng
land states had great regulations as
turkey producers, but the supply has
fallen off continually, while at the same
time the demand has greatly increased.

Us such good service that we have re-
produced it, and give it for what it is
worth. We took good sound 2x4 oak

of these two pieces We cut the two up

making them six feet long. The
two short pieces left were sawed
Is inches long and set into gains
in the uprights and bOlted fast.
AS shown In the illustration inch holes
were bored to correspond in the upright
bars, the holes in the right bar being
crank shaft. for various heighths of wire
An inch rope 20 feet long is attached
to the inner end of the shaft, and a
good solid hook fastened into the other
end OF the rope is brought back and
hooked over the shaft just inside the
crank. A common hay rope pulley is
placed upon the rope, and to this pulley
IS attached a wire clamp secured at our
hardware store. Two hooks of heavy
rod iron were fashioned after the pat
tern at q. with threads cut and nuts
attached. These hooks are buried to
the cross pieces and hook around anchor
post
If posts are very large log chain can
be wrapped about the post and the hooks
attached to the chain. Also if wire
clamp can not be secured hook similar
to the one on the end of the rope could
be substituted. In this case a false post
and brace could be put in temporarily
back of the anchor post and the stretch
er lie hooked to this post, loop being
made in the end of the wire to fasten the
hook into. This would necessitate more
lsbor, but would do as we'll, as the wire
would be pulled past the anchor post
where it can be stapled before releasing
the stretcher. We were we'll pleased
with the work done by this little ma
chineand feel satisfied that if construct
ed right it will stretch a proper tension
into any fencing wire, as we have
stretched both smooth and barbed wire
with it.
We omitted to mention that half inch
holes are bored into the right bar where
a steel punch is inserted to hold the
crank from reversing while wire is being
etapled. Also the stretcher stands in the
center of the fence and if fastened to
the anchor post instead of to false post,
the bolts are loosened and the left bar of
the machine is easily removed to re-
lease it from the fence.-Geo. w. Brown,
