For temporary fences for hogs many
farmers use only plain woven wire

small posts or stakes set from one to
rods apart. The best kind Of posts to
use for such work are about three
inch posts, six feet long, well shar-
pened, and the corners rounded on on
the upper end SO they will not split

keep up the roads. The roads are
public property-they belong to all,
are used by all and all are benefited
by them. The sender Of letter to a
farmer served by rural delivery may
be just as much interested in its de-
livery as the one who receives It.
Mail delivery is public service per-
formed over public property. Good
roads help the farmer more than any
one else, but they are not the only
ones benefited. The country mer-
chant and every one who consumes
farm products gain by good roads. The
fair way, the equitable way and the
only successful way to get good roads
is by state aid, !. g., the state from the
general tax levy or bond issue to pay
half the cost and tax everybody fR. It.

hogs into a cornfleld than to fence

Such fencing will cost from 30 to 40
cents per rod. The amount of fencing
used and the methods employed in
handling 1t (see accompanying table,
will make the cost vary from $50 to

doubtedly prove more profitable in
many cases than husking the corn

there Is good growth of rape or other
catch crop that the hogs can get at

While trying to evolve plan for the capture of
of the trout, the gentleman noticed an immense black
snake lying on stump summing itself and Immediately he
recalled that his father had told him, good many years
ago how expert blacksnakeS in catching trout At
ter little thought the subject Mr. Truthful deter
mined to try it, and picking his way cautiously to the
stump, he grabbed the snake by the tall
The black snake evidently didn't understand at first just
what was wanted of him. and for time after he had
been soused into the water he continued to twist and

bank.
The next time he stuck the snake into the water it
seemed to understand better what was wanted and very
soon grabbed another trout. By the time half dozen
trout had been taken the snake had entered into the sport
in real earnest and in the course Of hour Farley had
captured with his queer tackle over forty fine trout and
not caring for more he let the snake 60 gathered up his
rlfsh and went home.
1t was about week later that Mr. Truthful passed by
the spot where he had captured the trout and while he
standing the bank looking at the pecked beauties
as they dared through the clear water he felt something

recognized him. and backing up to him had stuck about

to go fishing again.

Chickens Know q Thing or Two.

Chickens are not generally
supposed to possess any great
amount of inte ligence, but a
Kensington man tells a story
which seems to show that
occasionally they are up to a
trick or two. Next to his house
there is a vacant lot covered with
a rank growth of weeds. These
weeds bloom periodically, bear
ing yellow flower. At such times
the lot is crowded with fowl,
which devour the blooms greedily.
One afternoon short time ago
the Kensingtonian saw two
chickens enter the lot, evidently
looking for something to eat.
There was nothing in sight
save a solitary blossom, which
had withstood the onslaught by
reason Of its height. After a
few vain attempts to reach it by
\ jumping, the birds desisted and
appeared to hold aleaping
consultation. Then the first,
up, caught a leaf on the
stalk and pulled it down, thus
bringing the flower withen reach
of its comrade. The latter ap.
preached, ate what it considered
a fair share, and then relieved

the remainder Of the blossom +
