majority Of cases wood viii prove the
cheaper material in regard 70 first cost
On the other hand. a concrete post wiz
last indefinitely. its strength Increasing
with age. whereas the wooden post
must be replaced at short intervals,
probably making II more expensive in
the long run.
In regard to strength. X must be
borne in mind that 1t is not practical
bic to make concrete fence posts as
strong as wooden posts Of the same
size. but since wooden posts, as n rule,
are many times stronger than is neces-
sary this difference in strength should
not condemn the use of re-enforced
concrete for this purpose. Moreover.
strength in many cases is Of little i'm
portance, the fence being used only as
a dividing line, and in such cases small
concrete posts provide ample strength
and present a very uniform and neat
appearance In any case, to enable
concrete posts TO withstand the loads
they are called upon to carry sufficient
strength may be secured by means
of reinforcement, and where great
strength is required this may be OBJ
tanned by using larger post with a
greater proportion of metal and well
braced, as is usual in such cases. In
point of durability concrete is unsur
passed by any material of construc-
ton. 1t offers a perfect protection TO
the metal reinforcement and is not
itself affected by exposure, so that a
post constructed of concrete re-enforc-
ed with steel will last indefinitely and
require no attention in the way of re
pairs.-Farmer's Bulletin.

cupola on the roof, with Stats in the
sides, completes the yentilating scheme
Particular attention is called to the
necessity of having a free circulation
of air. This is accomplished by the
openings In the floor and windows.
With that arrangement Mr.. Grout, on
whose farm the house is built, states
that he has had no trouble in securing
a complete drying out of his seed corn
He especially emphasizes the necessity
OF having the openings in the floor, as
these induce perfect ventilation.
Should the weather be warm and
wet during the harvest period or later,
before the corn is thoroughly dried, a
small stove may be used TO heat the
air and cause circulation. Around the
base a twelve inch board is placed.
This completes the house and makes
it one of the most effective in Illinois.
If your seed is dried out thoroughly
in this way before the cold weather
sets in the percentage of kernels that
will not germipate is reduced TO the
minimum.

made n terrace big enough for a bunch
of grapes. but il any such spot has
been overlooked you failed TO discover
1t with your binoculars.
There are advantages In owning a
vineyard on the Rhine. Next to the
financial returns, the chief advantage
lies in the glamour Of romance that
hangs over the bluffs. Frovning cas-

Good Points fhat Are Claimed For

There is a constantly increasing dc
mand for some form Of fence post

of wooden posts is very limited, and
the scarcity of suitable timber in many
localities has made 1t imperative to

thoroughly satisfactory must fulfill
three conditions: First. 1t must be OBJ

1t must possess sufficient strength to

third, IL must not be subject to decay

either 4SJ pounds Of corn. 529 pounds
Of Kaffir corn, +T2 pounds Of oats, 439
pounds of peas, 452 pounds of wheat or

Mintering CabhngeE.

A method for wintering cabbages
for spring use is TO stand them, roots
up. in rows upon the ground in a well
drained spot and cover them with
ridges of earth. If you want to keep
them from freezing. so You can get at
them any time during the winter, an
other method must be employed. Leave
the cabbases outdoors a. LONG as safe,
then put them into Il barn or other
outbuilding and let them get thorough
ly chilled, but not frozen through;
then cover them with straw, hay or
chaff enough to prevent them from
freezing solid, or you may put them
in heap outdoors, cover them with
roof of old boards. straw and earth
The sides of the structure may be
simply stuffed with plenty of straw
or dry forest leaves.

of the Southern railway the greatest
crops of alfalfa in the south are raised
1t is only during the past few years
that southern farmers could be in

HOLIDAYS IN MEXICO.
They Are Numerous, but Are Not All
Local Celebrations.

Local Celebrations.
The visitor iR Mexico is apt to be
surprised at the number Of holidays
celebrated here and made the occasion
of rejoicing. with accompanying music
and decoration, and is likely to think
that the Mexican does nothing but
celebrate
With his religious and national feast
days. the Mexican does have many
holidays Of more or less general i'm
portance. and when he is not celebrat-
ing these he may be celebrating the
day OF his patron saint or of that Of
some member of his family. so that 1t
seems to require little inducement for
him to celebrate. If q member of the
family goes out of town for a few
days or weeks. his return is eelebrat-
ed in some mild way and his welcome
home made pleasant.
But net all Of the celebrations which
take place in the capital are Mexican,
as the foreign colonies contribute their
share OF feast days. The Americans
celebrate their day Of Independence on
the glorious Fourth Of July. aud ten
days later the French celebrate the
fan of the Bastille, and so il gees, the
British celebrating the birthday Of
their king, the Italians the entry into
Rome Of the troops of united Italy, the
Germans the birthday Of the kaiser.
the Swiss the day of the formation OF
the confederation. The Spanish cele-
brate the birthday OF their king. and
in September their feast of COrvodon-
ga is important enough TO last three
days. No doubt there are other cele-
brations not so public or prominent,
such as the Chinese New Year and
others. but rho above goes to show
that not all the feasting in the capital
is done by natives. An interesting
point, however. Is that foreigners who
come TO Mexico are soon the keenest
for the coming of the various holidays,
and Mexican. religious or their own.

Hillside Farms.

The hill lands of Georgia are not
permitted to wash away down the
steep hillsides. Around such hills
there are bands or terraces thrown
up with great care to stop the down
ward rush of water. and thus the
washing tendency is checked as soon
as begun. These belts of firm sod land
are most effective. They rise one above
the other in steps of five or eight feet
In vertical height. The rows bend
around the hill, conforming strictly to
these terraces. This is a most excel
lent system and one badly needed on
many farms of the new southwest
