FENCES AND GATE POSTS.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

IS possible to obtain from them fences
constructed entirely of metal at small
cost.
While the unprogressive farmer is
content to have few bars to let down
in order to admit of the passage of
teams or wagons, no fence is complete
without an entrance, and therefore
without gate, for at best bars are
only makeshifts and loss of both
time and temper. It is surprising how
common they are when excellent and
serviceable light gates can now be pur-
chased very cheaply and even where
the lack OF money is an obstacle to this
a handy man can, with the aid of an
axe, a hammer and some nails build
and hang strong useful gate with no

In many places.
An essential feature of a rail fence

now that wire is,, in the majority OF

is questionable whether as many posts
are necessary as was the case when
rail- were used. Recent tests were made
ct an English experiment station to de-
termine upon the best method Of con-
structing a fence. One point considered
was whether a fence constructed with
dropper is as efficient and durable
as one constructed entirely with posts.
A second point under consideration was
the minimum number of posts required
IN the construction of an efficient and
durable fence when choppers are used
and the character of the dropper re-
CURED for best results. The dropper is
thin vertical brace used to strengthen
the stretch of wire between posts, As
metal Is admittedly more durable than
wood, an endeavor was made to obtain
suitable rigid metal dropper, but with
out success.
NOTCH THE CORNER POSTS LOW.
An error that farmers sometimes
make in erecting fence Is that they
place the corner supports or struts too
near the top of the post, and conse-
quently at too great an .angle with the
line OF the fence, so that when the wires
are stretched tightly the post is pulled
out OF the ground, Notwithstanding
that huge powders are piled against
the post or hung on it, in an endeavor
10 keep 1t in the ground. One fence
which has been found to prove very
satisfactory consists of square posts
and top rail, with three or four rows
OF plain wire fastened on the outside
edges of the post, instead of through
holes bored in the uprights. To these
wires is fastened ordinary poultry net
ting with, say, an inch and a-half or
two-inch mesh. This netting may be
strained very tight and will lie as fiat
as board, the appearance of the fence
being thereby greatly improved.
While the use of barb-wire in the
construction of fences is regretted, ow-
Ing to the injury which it sometimes
inflicts upon the live stock, there is no
doubt that its employment under GER
tain conditions prolongs the life of a
fence, lettering stock from rubbing
against it and unduly straining the
plain wires. 1t has been argued that

II the timber after being cut up for
the gates is given a couple of coats Of
paint before being put together. After
the gate Is completed and hung. it can
be given a final coat. The first or

fact, may be nearly all raw linseed oil.
The second and last coats will of

freezing, so beneficial to other crops, are essential to successful <i0 culture. Fall blowing, tunhs vegetation, cntributes humus and yitrification which is imperative to successful agricul- ture. The methods of stopping the land of humus, too shallow blowing in other words, taking everything off the land and re turning nothing, is depriving our farmers of thousands of dollars every year. We need a large warehouse to store the crop when threshed. This year there was much difficulty in securing cars to ship the crop. Every inch of storage was taken up and yet considerable damage has been sustained for lack of shel- ter,
 A rice mill of sufficient capac:- ty to handle the crop is much needed in this section. A great economic waste IS sustained by sending the rough product away and then buying the commercial. Besides the by product of the mi Il, rice polish, rice brand, rice hulls, would greatly increase the growers profits.

 No other country has greater variety of soils than Arkansas. Nature has stored in Arkansas soils potential elements of fabu- lous wealth.

The Rice Situation

EnOQgn Qald lS IlO1 present. eo tell iast what the yield ef thls years rice crop will be. Some growers have not finished thresh ing and a great many have not sold or estimated their crops: suffice it to say that where the crop was planted early. irrigated properly and harvested timely, a handsome profit was secured; while those who planted very late and for various causes did not food their crops until few weeks before harvest, made small yields: the fact remains that this section of Arkansas IS adapted to rice growing and that the crop is reasonably certain,
 A great many growers had trouble in getting water early enough to begin irrigation at the proper time. Well >rontractions in some cases could not be had; in a few instances the right kind of machinery was not at hand. As a result of this some crops were planted late, others almost ruined for lack of irrigation. The only remarkable fact is that such crops yielded at all.
 Rice growing is a new line ot agriculture in Arkansas, but where practical and economic methods are employed, it has proved to bea profitable industry a.,a enterprise of of the Arkansas f.rmer. The prairie lands Of til, state. once considered almost worthless for farm crops, have been made profitable not only the prairie lands, but the alluvial lands of the bottoms produce good crops of rice. In fact rice will, in my opinion, in the near future reign as queen beside king cotton, where irrigations prac- tical.
 Many m stakes have been made this season by beginners. In the first place some growers did not take the precautiOn to pro- vide for their water supply in time. The we'll should be sunk early in the fall, or at least. in ad vance of planting season. Water is unquestionably the most i'm portant element in rice growing | Unless the grower is sure of his | water for irrigation he should not l attempt to plant his crop. The | seasons are shorter here than in | southern Louisiana and Texas, | hence our crop should be planted as early as the season will permit. The early frost this year damag- ed the late sowing. There is also danger of continuous show CTS during the period of pollena tion where the crop is sOwn late As was the case this season, Equinoctial storm damaged the the late crop.
 Growers often become over-en thusiastic upon a crop that yields a good profit and attempt too much. Forty or eighty acres of rice, well cared for, is often more profitable than one hundred acres not so well managed. Rice requires close attention. Periods Of irrigation, harvest and market are important dates ip the rice growers calendar.
 There is need of more fall glowing in the rice belt. Winter

Is Through srith Dominican Politics,
er-President SAYS.

General Juan Isidro Jinenez, ex-President Of
Santo Domingo, arrived In this city from Ha
vana Sunday. and is staying quietly at q
private hotel He said yesterday that he Is
done with Dominican politics for all time.
Since his revolution Of two years ago General
Jimenez has been making his home at Ponce,
Porto Rico where his family is now.
IT am here on business" said the ex-presi-
dent yesterday, "and have taken interest IN
the politics of my country. I really don't know
anything Of what has been going on
General Jinenez also denied that he had any
ambition to again be President OF Sa-1so Do
mingo, as reports have said.
One report from Washington yesterday had
General Jirnenez in strict seclusion in that city
and in constant communication with Secretary
Root. who, 1t was said. was to place the ex-
President back in power. General Jimenez was
amused at this statement. and saidi
'I have not been IN Washington, nor do I
intend TO go there I shall transact the bust
ness on which came here and then return to
Porto Rico. 1 am out OF politics"
General Jimenez was President OF santo Do
mingo for two and a half years. and has been
the chief OF the Jfrninist party.
a friend Of the general said
"One word from General Jinninez to his people
and he would again be President Of Santo Do
mingo If an honest election were held He would
have a majority over any candidate which would
in proportion be like that of President Roosevelt
over Judge Parker"
