A GOOD END POST.

In n recent OHIO Farmer, one OF the
readers advises others against the fig
ure style of end post braces for fence.
j have on my farm, says CLANCY Avery.
fourteen end posts of this type, all
giving as good service rs / think 1t
possible to get from any wood post;
some of them have been set for six
years, and the truss rods have needed
no tightening, and ] am confident that
with the right principle of construction,
carefully executed, this style of brac-
ing will be found the best. Thorough
work is essential TO success with any
style of bracing. Too short braces
lift too much on the end post and
think this is the main source Of failure.
In erecting the Fig. type, l set my
posts as shown in the sketch. The
post A is fourteen TO eighteen inches
in diameter, and set three and one-half
feet in the ground and has two pieces
of two by twelve plank three feet
long spiked TO faces on the post as
shown at + +. The large stone, ID, is
flat and about twice as large as a man
can lift, and finely settled in its bed
with its top about three or four inches
above ground. On this stone rests q

THE STRANGE LAND
OF FAR-OFF AUSTRALIA.
The Drought Makes Life Lotte'
For Eveyone-The individual With
ers and the State Dominates.

Sunny Australia is best described
as n political hothouse. Beneath the
glass of extreme democracy twenty
varieties of state socialism are build
ing, and q dozen more have reached
their full bloom here generation or
two before their due time in other
parts of the world.
The climate, indeed, is the chief fac
tor in fashioning Australian politics.
If they are advanced, ii is because the
sun here has forced an early develop
ment. Girls here reach maturity two
or three years earlier than in America
and countries count by generations.
Meanwhile, perpetual summer and
continual sunlight are sapping ir livi-
dual energies. Even the American
who comes here soon finds that sus-
tained hustling is a physical impossi-
tility. Let him spend three or four
years in the country and he will cease
TO wonder at the laws for an eight
hour day and the early closing OF
shops. The winter is only another
summer-cooler, II Is true, but not cold
enough to be invigorating.
SO it is that beneath the Australian
sun. the individual withers and the
state is more and more. 1t seems
right that the state should take risks
that are too great for the individual.
And the drought makes life lottery
for everyone here. Men who owns
thousands of sheep to-day may be
seeking n weeks wages on government
relief works two or three years hence.
as hundreds escaped the dilemma OF
starvation or private charity during
the great drought that broke last year.
Neither industry nor intelligence nor
frugality can secure man against
disaster in the Australian bush. 1t is
little wonder that so many seek the
security Of q comfortable billet In the
government service.-Booklovers Mag

DAIRY DOTS.

If the butter is mottled, work II
little after sailing.
If the butter is too soft, feed the COW
some potatoes.
stringy milk can be cured by keeping
the COWS clean.
Wash all milk vessels with cold water
before scalding.
Whitewashed stables mean fewer
flies and more milk.
Crosses are usually better for farm
ers than pure breeds.
Whenever possible test the cows
milk before buying her.
A cow that tests below three per
cent. is not worth keeping.
Cows and horses should not be al
lowed in the same pasture.
Richer feed does not mean richer
milk it means more milk.
Many dairymen like an ounce OF salt
TO the pound Of butter.
Do not wet your hands when milking;
II you do you flavor the milk.
Adding hot water to cream while
churning is the worst of ali practices.
The calf should have new milk ex.
clusively the first fourteen TO twenty
days.
You waste twenty-five per cent OF
your butter in summer by not using q
separator.
Warm milk from the COW does not
absorb odors. While cooling keep il in
q pure atmosphere.
Pair the animals Of such families as
give much and rich milk, so the prog
eny will produce much and rich milk.
When butter is poor don't blame the
COW Blame your own want Of skill.
Heating milk to 160 degrees pasteur-
iZes il. Stir il constantly while hot
Pair animals of similar character so
you may know the kind of progeny to
expect.
Do not pair too young animals; that
makes both parents and progeny suf-
fer.
If the butter takes too long to come
add one or two fresh cows to the
dairy.
Make n memorandum Of the milk
yield, and, If possible, its test; only
thus can q positive knowelge of the
cows value be secured-Rice Journal

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS,

Fashion is responsible for many IN
venuons. This is the case with the
manufacture Of artificial flowers, for
their demand was due TO a caprice Of
fashion. In Italy during festival time
II was decreed that flowers should be
worn In and out Of season, and that
their color should be retained. Many
plans for solving the problem were
brought forward, and at last some one
hit upon the idea OF making them Of
various materials which would resem-
bic the real flowers. Later, in the
Middle Ages, the artificial so far super
seeded the natural that both men and
women decked their heads with imita-
ton flowers Of cambric, glass, paper,
wax and metal. The most beautiful
artificial blossoms are made in Paris,
and their making is one Of the chief
Industries of that city.-WashiDgton

than has whole colony Of physicians.

She is unmistakably up on microbes

RIBBoas USED ON PLAIN GOWNS

The decolletage OF the evening gown
offers unlimited possibilities for ribbon
decorations. One garniture which ex-
tended around the decolletage and well
down the front was fashioned from
three shades of pink satin ribbon.
Small looped flowers were first mount
ed upon strappings Of featherbone, at
irregular intervals, and into the spaces
were added large flowers with ragged
ends OF broad ribbon. A cluster Of the
smaller blossoms hung down grace
fully over the shoulders. This same
garniture is seen on an evening gown
of pale pink net, in which scintillat-
ing pattern of shimmering gold ap-
pears. The garniture in that instance
was made from gauze ribbon spangled
with seQuins and mock gems.
Ribbon offers many possibilities for
trimming purposes, and simple gown
may be greatly enhanced by the appli-
cation of ribbon garniture in many
forms The sash is one, and this brings
into vogue one of the prettiest and most
becoming fashions for many years
Handsome ribbon tied in n great bow
at the back of the waist is indeed n
charming vogue, and is especially
adapted TO the slender girl.
