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 use
full also In putting down driven wells.
To drive well, says the Farm and
Home, 1k-inch pipe is preferred.
The length should not be over six
feet. The first pipe to be driven must
have point of iron or steel Any
blacksmith who is an expert at weld
ing can readily make point solid in
the end of the pipe. and then bore nu-
merous one-fourth-inch poles In It
for the first 18 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 1t to its mate, 80 the thread may
not be injured. Also on top of this
coupling must always rest block Of
lead or seasoned hickory, to receive
and distribute the concussion, to pre-
serve the pipe from destruction
The pipe is driven the same as q
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 as II screws into the coupling
and rests (buts, they cali it,, on the
end of the pipe beneath It, This
prevents splitting the coupling and
leaky joints.

tried many different kinds OF braclng
and at last got my present way from
noticing the bracing in a truss bridge.
like to use five-inch bars or boards
and three-quarters of an inch in thick
ness, according to weight OF lumber
The bracing is Of the truss or double
X style, putting two pieces V-shaped
on one side of the gate, and on the
other side an inverted V, as shown In
cut. A gate OF this style properly
hung will not sag; even a 12-foot gate
will hold up we'll
OF course, in doing a good job of
gate hanging the hinge post must be
firmly set and strongly braced The
screw Of the bottom hinge should not
be screwed In the post quite so far
as the top screw, and to make a
gate open uphill the bottom screw
should be put further back in the post
About a half-lnch in either will gen.
orally be enough. This makes the gate
rise from the ground when opening.

CROPS AND MOISTURE.
Timely Cultivation viii Save Much Of
Latter for Former.

Much of the moisture taken up by
our soils is lost through lack Of time
ly cultivation. At no time is this
waste greater than in spring time.
During the fall, winter and early
spring the moisture that falls is taken
by mother earth only to be sent back
by capillary action to the surface
when spring opens and the sun begins
to shine and the winds begin to blow.
This, upward action of the soil moist
ure can only take place in packed sur
faces, such as are found in fields that
have been plowed the fall before and
have been packed by the rains and
snow clear to the surface. II nothing
is done to check this waste, hundreds
Of barrels of water are lost every day
which the coming crop may sadly
need before the season is closed.
How may we check this great
waste? Simply by early stirring of
the surface soil so as to make an earth
mulch, says Forest Henry in the
Northwestern Agriculturist. Anything
that will fine the surface soil to the
depth Of two or three inches will do
the work. A smoothing harrow may
perhaps be put at the head OF the
implement list for this work Ordinari-
ly two harrowings as soon as the
ground works well will do the work.
This early surface cultivation has also
another important mission. 1t keeps
the surface soil from crusting and
from becoming lumpy. How many a
farmer in the past has neglected this
early work In his cornfield and then
later was compelled to plant his corn
two or three inches deeper than he
wished in order to put IL in moist
earth
Early surface cultivation will keep
the soil moist very near the surface
so as to insure termination as soon
as the crop IL planted.
The benefits from cultivation are
only just beginning TO be realized by
few progressive farmers. Will you
be one that will be profited by 1t the
coming season?

DRAG THE ROADS.
Not Too Late Yet to Do Much to I'm
prove the Highways.

An Illinois farmer says of the drag:
The drag is making more good roads
than any implement or machine ever
invented. The nice thing about the
drag is that 1t is inexpensive, and It
utillzes the material at hand for filling
up ruts and depressions have trav-
eled extensively during the year just
passed, over Illinois. Iowa and Nebras-
ka. II is no trick at all to pick out
every stretch OF road where the plank
drag has been used. The secret of
making good, hard road-beds, well
rounded. is starting the drag on the
outer edge of the road, and working
the dirt toward the center OF the road.
In this way all ruts are filed, and the
crown of the road is so high that 1t
drains perfectly and the best part Of
the dirt is in the center, where there
is the heaviest wear. Those who have
undertaken to keep the roadway ada
cent to their farms In condition say
that the time required TO do the work
is practically nothing Roadmasters
in many townships are now using avail.

them on the roads at the right time.

Posts may be driven with speed
and economy on many farms, IL well
sharpened 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 farmer can
get up. Uprights are bolted across
to a sled, or a rough plank sled may
be made for the purpose
The standards may be IL or is feet
high. To them is bolted cross bar
which supports the hoist for the
weight. For this block of iron or
lead weighing not less than % pounds
must be obtained, and It must have
a staple or ring in It so It may be
lifted. The post is placed where It Is

THE BARNARD.
Clean II Every Day and Keep II Look
Ing Tidy.

The barnyard is often the most un.
slightly spot on the farm, but II need
not be so. II the habit Is formed Of
cleaning the barnyard each day II
can be kept as tidy as any other part
of the farm. II should be cleaned as
soon as the cattle are out of 1t in the
morning. The droppings should be
thrown into a portion of the barn
yard that is set of from the rest OF
the yard and which should have a
cover over 1t that can be easily lifted
and lowered, says the Farmers Re-
view. The parts of this receptacle can
be made adjustable, 30 that 1t can be
enlarged on demand. The cover over
the manure keeps the latter Just moist
enough so that the fertility does no,
get out OF 1t. The drying up OF the
manure when the latter is left in piles
Is a very wasteful process, as much
of the nitrogen works on into the air
unperceiyed by the farmer. When the
droppings In a barnyard are allowed
to lie about they dry up and most OF
their first value is dissipated into the
air.

gracefully out to the caves that over

at the base OF the walls to add to the
