MANAGING POSTS.

Easy Methods of Putting Them In or
Taking Them Out of the Ground.
One of the farmers problems Is how
to look after the many posts which he
has need of in keeping up fences, etc.
While experiences differ, it is safe to
say that white cedar poles last longer
than any other kind. White oak posts
are also good. 1t is said that posts put
into the ground tops downward will
outlast those that are set tops upward.
This is due, so it is surmised, to the
fact that they absorb water from the
earth when they are set in the natural
position, but do not absorb it when
they are reversed.
If the end of a post is allowed to
soak in liquid tar or is treated with
creosote, it will last much longer than
il would ordinarily. When it is neces-
Sary 10 draw a post out of the ground,

How a Wornout Farm Has Been Made

neighbors on shares. and of course

and fed it on their farms and returned
nothing to this farm" writes a CORE

WHEAT SHOCKS.
II 10 Essential That They Should BE
Carefully Built.

II 10 Essential That They Should BE
Carefully Built.
There are many ways to build a
shock Of wheat; but, like all operations,
there Is right way and n wrong
way. In doing this work there should
be a system, and each shock should be
built In exactly the same way. When
the grain is fairly ripe set up two sets
of two bundles each, all leaning To-
ward the center. Then set a bundle
at each end. two at each side and two
we'll broken and fiattened and put on
endways for caps. This makes shock
of a dozen bundles, a good SIZE for
grain cut at the proper stage Of ripen-
ing; also large enough to stand up
well and not so large but that two cap
bundles will cover 1t. If smaller
shocks are desired only one bundle
need be set at each side. If a larger
one, three bundles may be set on each
side.
Another common method is to set up
six bundles by twos and complete as
before, but think the former method
makes a better braced shock. l am
thoroughly convinced that cap bundles
will not hang on as well during heavy
winds when crossed.
Many people set their bundles two by
two in long shocks without caps. This
may do for low patches that are green
or full of weeds. but is an unsafe prac-
tice to follow for all grain. If period

Outdoor Helps,

Apples are a profitable crop, but it's
poor policy to raise them for the
worms to eat.
A fence around the garden is not
expensive. and it saves a lot of annoy
ance.
A row Of grapevines across the back
of the garden will be q great addi-
ton.
There is just one kind of grating
that is all right That's the kind that
works we'll in the orchard.
If you were to go to place where
there is no free delivery of mail you
might appreciate it more.
Good seed is one of the first essen
tails of a good crop. Good soil and
good cultivation are two others.
Don't spend all the money on i'm
plements to be used outdoors. Get
some conveniences for the household.

A GARDEN CONVENIENCE.

that will suit the wheels you chance
to have. The rest of the work is plain
sailing-a good, stout box of the right
size and depth. with handles and rest
stake to be attached as shown. 1t is
intended to be pushed forward. and
the end gate should be made remov-
able so it can, be taken out Or dropped
in place as desired. The cart should
be rather narrow track, because it is
often desired to fit into open doors,
and the weight should not be too great.

ficulty by the use of a team. A chain
should be fastered about the stump,
allowing Il good length to the chain.
The chain should be a stout one, espe-
cially If large posts which are firmly
set are to be taken out. When stumps
or posts are to be removed, spring is
the best time to do the work, as the
ground Is then moist and the post
comes out more easily. Sometimes
when boundaries are to be moved,
fields changed In outline or new fences
erected great many posts must be
removed In very short time, and. I'm
less some mechanical device were
adopted for Fastening the work It
would take quite long time.
OF the many post pullers now in use
perhaps the one here shown is the most
serviceable. 1t should be made Of an
old buggy axle or any other old piece
Of iron of about that size and used as
shown. With this tool one man will
pull more posts IN day than with any
other tool the writer ever heard Of,
and two men with two of the tools can
easily remove the largest telephone or
telegraph poles.
Posts may be driven with speed and
economy on many farms If well sharp
ened and the right method is followed.
A real post driver is one of the most
easily made things and one Of the most
useful that a farmer can get up. Up
rights are bolted across to a sled, or a
rough plank sled may be made.
The standards may be twelve or if
teen feet high. To them is bolted q
crossbar which supports the hoist for
the weight. For this a block of iron or
lead weighing not less than twenty-five
pounds must be obtained, and 1T must
have q staple or ring in 1t so 1T may be
Hfted. The post is placed where 1t is
to be driven and the weight lifted and
allowed to fall on it. A little practice
will enable one to drive posts in soil
that seems too hard. The rig is useful
also in putting down driven wells.
To drive 4 we'll an inch and quarter
pipe is preferred. The lengths should
not be over six feet. The first pipe to
be driven must have a point of iron or
steel. Any blacksmith who Is an expert
1T "OIdIh5 Sdll ICdOlAg Il punt
solid in the end of the pipe and then
bore numerous quarter inch holes in it
for the first eighteen inches of its
length above the point. Before driving
a coupling must be screwed down tight
and fast on the thread that Is to con-
meet it to its mate, so the thread may
not be injured; also on top of this
coupling must always rest a block of
lead or seasoned hickory to receive and
distribute the conclusion.
The pipe is driven the same as a
post, another length being attached as
fast as one is sunk in the ground. One
rule must never be forgotten-each
length of pipe must be threaded so long
Connecticut western news. [volume] (Salisbury, Litchfield Co., Conn.) 1871-1970, 1908-07-02

that it screws into the coupling and
rests Quits, they call ir on the end q
the pipe beneath it. This prevents split
ting the coupling and leaky joints.
Do not throw away old fenceposts
just because the ends in the ground
have rotted away. You can patch these
out and the posts will last as long as
new ones. Take piece of an ordinary
post two feet long and smooth down
one end with an ak so as to fit on to
the end of the post, which should like
wise be smoothed down. Now get q
half dozen spikes and nail the piece to
the post. Reverse the post, leaving the
patched end at the top.
