CONCRETE ON THE FARM.
II Cnn BE Used Not Only for Cisterns
and Floors But for Fence
Posts Also.

There Is little excuse for up to date
farmers wading around In the mud,
when concrete walks may be had around
house and barn with very small outlay
OF money, provided the man is handy and
can do the work himss If after little in
structlon, says Rural New Yorker. Be-
sides the making of walks concrete is
being used in many other ways adyan-
tageously and economically. During the
pasI season we have seen fence posts
made from stone and concrete that are
much cheaper than the cut stone post,
and just as durable. The plan OF making
the posts was to dig down two feet into
the ground, or perhaps deeper in soft
ground, and then make box the size
of post wanted which was filled with the
concrete and topped out according to
fancy. When hinges or eyes were wanted
Tor hanging gates holes were bored In
the box and The eyes inserted before the
filing was done, taking care to have
same anchored well in the post, A con-
crete floor is easily made in houses built
of stone or brick, and renders residence
practically freproof. We saw floors OF
this Kind made last season that seem to
be perfection. A wooden floor is first
made of roVgh lumber and on this is
laid a wire cloth, in which the concrete
Is spread six inches thick. When 1t
dries the wooden floor is removed and
the concrete Is self-sustaining. The
convcrete is made by mixing together
Portland cement, sand and coal cinders
1t is said to cost but little more than
frst-class floor made of wood, including
the joists. We have seen q number of
cisterns made out of concrete, no brick
being used for walling up. In making
a cistern of this kind 1t is necessary to
have rough wooden wall made about
three inches all around from the dirt
and fill in space with concrete. After
the wood wall 10 removed one coat Of
cement completes the cistern, and 1t Is
there for all time to come Thegreatest
objection to iron fence posts Is that they
are not solid in the ground, being SO
small BY using bed OF concrete and
the base of all iron posts set in 1t will
be found that they will stand as we'll az
any other post.

BOOSTING IN TREES.
That should De Reprcsscd by
Their Owners.

Thousands of farmers permit their
turkeys, and sometimes their chick
ems, 10 roost in trees during all sea-
prevent laying. When fowls are al
lowed to live in the open air they
require all the animal heat they can
get to keep themselves warm, and &C.
cordlngly have none to spare for the
production of eggs. When one is keep.
ing fowls merely as a pleasure, and
odoes not care whether they make or
lose money, it is perhaps as good a
plan to allow the birds to depend upon
themselves, but eggs will be lacking
during the colder months of the year.
Fowls are creatures of habit, and even
II the farmer decides to build for his
flock comfortable poultry.house. it
will not prevent them from roosting
in the trees In winter unless they are
taught that the houses are for Ntheir
accommodation. This is done by
catching them at night, and placing
them in the house, where they must
be confined for a week, at The end of
which time they will have forgotten
their former roostingplaces, and
when given their liberty will return at
night to their new quarters, Outdoor
exposure is ruinous to birds Of all
kinds. When allowed to roost in trees,
they become the prey Of owls; or IL on
the ground, they are liable to destruc-
! ton from four-footsd enemies Tur-
keys often become lame from the
freezing Of their feet, while breeds
of poultry with large combs and wat.
ties also suffer severely. Fowls that
are not provided for are not itted for
producing eggs, and the farmer conse.
quently loses the use of their services
by not giving them proper care. AS
eggs are usually high during the win
ter season, any expense in the poul
try department should result in a good
profit on the investment during that
time.-Farm and Fireside,

Just the Thing for Cattle Pastures
Where a Three-Nvire Fence
Confines the stock.

The following is description of q
cheap and serviceable wire gate which
will be found satisfactory, especially in
places where q gate is not often used.
1t, of course, would not do for sheep
or hogs, but will serve the purpose in
cattle pastures. where a three-wire
fence is sufficient to confine stock. Cut
three wires each about a foot longer
than the distance between the posts,
and three short wires each six inches

and fasten to post (A). (B, B, b. with

King Peters Narse.

Some days ago an old woman pre-
sented herself at the gate of the royal
palace in Belgrade, and said that she
wished to see King Peter. The guards
were not at first inclined to admit her,
but she pleaded SO hard that finally
they gave way and in few minutes she
was in the royal presence. The king,
who was reading when she entered,
looked up, and the next moment cried:
Its Catherine, my old nurse" Then
he embraced her tenderly, kissing her
on both cheeks, and pleased her still
more by promising that he would soon
visit her at her home in Hungary. At
the close of the interview the nurse,
who is now in her eighty-fifth year, pre-
sented him with portrait of himself,
which was taken when he was ten years
old, and he in return gave her a hand
some present of money.
