We look back upon the by-gone
dame who baked, brewed, dipped
the candles, boiled the soap, MIXED
the COW, helped to dress the meat,
made the garden, and after her days
duties were well done, spun, wove
and fashioned the mems garments,
as well as her own and the chill
dren's, while she rested all without
modern improvements
Many of the duties of the by-gone
dame have been eliminated from the
daily routine, but the ever-present
question is still with us, What can
we do to make practical living more
interesting to the home maker?"
Work that is hated" said wise
woman, lis in bad way. If we can
not, therefore, bring women down TO
the work, we must bring the work
up to them" Practical living" for
the homemaker is, doing the things
that have to be done day by day for
the comfort of those in the home-the
thousand and one things that seem
trivial at a passing glance and are
not appreciated in the doing. but
that are fatal to the home life in the
omission.

Home-making, then, must first be

and iron for field purposes is out of
the question. Undoubtedly the cement
post will be the post for the future.
When posts are made of cement and
REINFORCED by steel the problem will be
solved Especially for end posts for
permanent fences it will pay TO use
REINFORCED cement. and in many per
manent fence lines posts of these ma
terials are in the end the best.
Line posts are ordinarily quite strong
enough if REINFORCED 10y placing in
each corner string of two wires
twisted together, of the same size as
that used in double barbed wire, or
even new barbed wire may be used
weighing rather less than two pounds
for the four strings of wire. Where
strong posts are required the base can
be made 6 by inches and the tops
3 by 6 inches. Shorter and longer
posts. also with lesser or greater di-
ameter will fit the particular require
ments. With cement costing 81 bar
rel, sand and gravel 80 cents cubic
foot, wire fencing at 6 cents a post
and labor 90 cents an hour, allowing
for cost of Inolds and miscellaneous ex-
penses, the cost of the smaller of these
posts should be about % cents and for
the larger ones about 80 cents apiece.
Cement posts. unlike cement blocks,
cannot well be made in a machine and
carried aside on pallets, because the
pallets bend and the posts crack
Molds for making fenceposts can be
readily obtained from manufacturers
or they can be home built. Posts
can be made by using cement and
clean sand in the proportion of one
to three. If gravel, about one-half
inch in diameter, or broken stone OF
the same size is used, the posts will be
stronger and cheaper when using say
one part cement to two and one half
parts of sand and five parts of gravel
or stone In building any kind or
fence 1t Is important to have the cor
ner post well braced. otherwise the
fence will sag and look bad.

Everything Done to Make the
Grounds Beautiful.
HEDGES PLAY IMPORTANT PART
They Tend to Beauty and at the
Same Time Hide Many Unsightly
Spots About the House-Stone and
Wire Fences Replacing the Dlapi-
dated Old Picket Fence.

Visitors from the cities frequently
express surprise when observing the
manner in which those living in the
rural sections are fast improving the
grounds surrounding their homes. I'M
provement in the matter of fencing is
particularly noticeable.
Fences are replacing the hedges.
While certain kinds of hedges will re-
main, and in some sections will al
ways be popular. the fencing material
of the future is certain to be very
largely of wire. Certain kinds of
hedges are ornamental and they have
their place about the home for hiding
unsightly spots and for the beauty
they possess themselves. As practical
field dividers, however, they are not
generally successful, because they in
volve good deal of time and ex-
pense each year In keeping them in
repair.
Where stone is abundant the stone
fence is not only picturesque, but is
the most permanent and satisfactory
of all fences. 1t requires building but
once and to keep in repair is an item
OF small expense. considering period
of many years duration. One objec-
ton to the stone fence is the amount
of land occupied. This is an item be
longing to the individuality of the
owner. The stake and rider rail fence
that we knew so well when we were
boys Is fast disappearing even in sec
tions where lumber is abundant.
The picket fence, too, is going. 1t
was not many years ago that long
lines of picket fences We're to be seen
ON many farms, but these have been
seldom replaced. Has this been due
to dissatisfaction? That can hardly
be given as the principal reason. The
cheapest and in some ways the most
satisfactory fence for the business
farm is wire The reasonable price

Zeno's Paradox,

Many persons will recall the famous
paradox of Zeno by which he sought
to prove that all motion Is impossible.
"A body" be argued, must move
either In a place where 1t is or in a
place where il is not. Now. a body In
the place where it is is stationary and
cannot be in motion. nor, obviously,
can it be Ill motion in the place where
1t is not; therefore 1t cannot move at
ALL"
Bodies do move. however, and that is
a sufficient answer to the ingenious
philosopher.
