Cement Fencing.

Cement fence posts are not new
thing, but on account of high priced
cemen. and uncertainty as to its merit
as a fencing material, it has never.
gained favor among the farmers. Later
developments and experiments are
bringing cement posts into more gem
eral use, and causing closer investi-
CATION Of their merit than has ever
been made before.
The cement people contend that
their new process cement posts are as
cheap as ordinary wood posts. They
are made by the farmers on the farm
at odd times and when they arr. once
in the ground it Is said they will last
century.
The. question of the power Of cement
posts to resist the strain of animals
trying to creep through the fence is
settled In some measure by moulding
the cement around wires that are said
to take off the strain.
In this country of little timber, and
many fine sand beds nothing SCENES to
be left but to get cement at fair

Anyone hearing the above statement
from Senator Lewis might know that

observations have been colored by the
limitations of his vision. Had he been

KING DRAG IN TOWN.
[Oelwein Register.l


According to the Ledger Of Fair
field, Iowa, the street commissioner of
that thriving city has built four Mis-
souri, Ideas'-alias King drags-at
from $1.75 to So, which the paper ayers
produced better results at less ex-
pense than from the old graders" The
Ledger goes on to say:
1T is probable that the average
farmer could make a drag from waste
materials about his farm at much
less expense than this, probably only
the necessary labor. When sucn good
work can be done with so cheap ma
chine, and when better roads are so
much needed, it is rather strange that
more of these drags are not in use.
Possibly it is because people do not
fully appreciate them"
While in Ackley recently we saw
some work that had been done by a
King drag" and will say that we We're
surprised at the good results obtained
The old grader IS not in it with King
drag, in either the expense or the good
results produced.

ample to the world i'm direction that
is only now beginning to be justly ap-
preciated. The schools of Hawaii from
the first were manual training schools
Not that they went by that name, nor
indeed was that characteristic appre-
ciated as being anything new or valu-
able outside of its application here, so
APPLY appropriate did it seem to the
conditions. Nevertheless it was a prin-
ciple, i'm the application of which men
in our own time have gained great
reputation. That principle was the in
struction and training of the youth in
knowledge and habits of practical in
dustry. In the boarding schools estab-
lished by the missionaries for the Ha-
Watian youth, the boys supported them
selves by their own industry. They
raised the taro and other food they
ate. They titled the soil, and they Oft
en- built the very school houses in
which they were instructed and the
houses in which they dwelt.
All that Booker Washington has
done at Tuskogee, the missionaries did
in Hawaii, and thought so little of it
beyond its obviousness that they have
never received the just credit due them
for originating and carrying out a
principle of education that is only now
coming into its rightful place in the
philosophy and practice of instruction
for the youne.
