Gates, Painted and Unpainted.


The question as to whether gate
shall be painted or left rough is mat
ter which must be decided by the in
dividual. but it is to be feared that in
nine cases out of ten the only time a
great many of the gates on the farm
have coat of paint is before they are
hung, and a gate that has been un-
painted for years is quite as unsightly,
if not more so. as we'll made rough
gate. In addition to this, it is worth
remembering that a rough gate is
much less liable to crack and let in the
wet than one which has been painted
and then allowed to remain for years
without being touched with paint. =

Poles For CLIMBING Plants.

Poles for climbing plants should al

itransplanted or the seeds put in the
