When Arizona end New Mexico be-
come states, as congress has authorized
them to be, they will send four senators
to Washington, and there viii be ma
tional interest in seeing with what kind
of men these places win be filed. Much
of the delay in the admission of Arr
IONA and New Mexico to the union has
been due to the fear that the quality
of their senators might not be first
class, nor is it a pleasing thought to
many that these two new states with
their population of mixed character
are to have the same number of votes,
and theoretically to have as much in
duence in the upper branch of the fed
eral government, as the older states
possess. Elk.

from, as more than twenty rods can
not be frightened satisfactorily at one
stretch.
Wherever a gate is to be put in the
posts will have to be braced solidly.
A good way to do this is to put in
posts that will extend about twelve
feet above the ground and connect the
tops with a strong wire. This method
of bracing cannot be used with cement
posts. as they will not stand much
lateral strain.
A swinging gate is by far the most
convenient. provided it is properly put
in. 1t should be we'll enough braced
so that it will not sag and drag on the
ground. In places where the snow is
likely to drift gate that can be ad-
justed to various heights is a great
convenience. Fig. 2 shows a conven-
lent and easily constructed type of
wooden gate. For road gates and at
other places where appearance counts
for anything an iron gate is preferable.
1t looks better and is more durable,
but the cost is considerably greater.

Farmersl Mix Your Own fertilizers

Doyou know that home-mixing offertil
izers has proved to be the most economi
cal and satisfactory method of procuring
fertilizers2 1t is now generally conceded
by up-to-date agriculturalists that bet
ter results are obtained by buying the
crude materials and mixing fertilizers
especially adapted to the different crops
you raise and the varying conditions of
the soil found on the farm.
Ifyou will send us your name on a pos
tai with request therefor, we will send
you free, postpaid, a number of formulas
which were made up for us by the Direc-
tor of the Vermont Experiment Station
and which have been used by many Yer
mont farmers with excellent success. We
will also give full directions for mixing
fertilizers adapted to allcrops commonly
raised on Vermont farms. When writ
ing please mention this paper. Address

Fox's Wit.

THE following is one of the many
stories told about Charles James
Fox, the English statesman and or
ator:
Mr.. Hare, envoy to the court of
Poland, occupied rooms in the
statesman's "diggings." He was a
great personal friend and indeed a
man of very similar tastes. They
were each the objects of continual
inquiry on the part of tradesmen
and others. One day Fox, looking
out of the upper window, deserted
two men watching the house anG
waiting. With a genial smile he
shouted, ''Pray, gentlemen, will you
tell me, are you Fox hunting or
Hare hunting today"
The bailiffs were so tickled that
they went away.

i've way of making a sollu corner. Inc
corner post should be considerably lar
ger than the others. A hole by 4
should be dug to set it in. Bolt a
piece of plank about three feet long
to the bottom of the post and a shorter
piece at right angles to the first Fill
in dirt up to the top of these and lamp
it solid. Then roll in a number of
large stones and fill the rest of the
hole with dirt, tamping it we'll all the
way up. Such a post, if properly
1raced, will not give much under any
strain that may be put upon it. A
way that is still better, though little
more expensive, is to set the corner
post in cement.
The fencing selected should be
strongly woven and made of good sized
wire. Flimsy fencing costs a little
less at first, but does not last we'll
enough to warrant putting it up. Be
sure that the cross wires are fastened
firmly to the longitudinal strands, so
that they cannot be spread out Of
place. Both the woven and the barbed
wire should be well galvanized. Wire
that is galvanized after weaving, as
shown by the crevices and joints be-
ing filled with the galvanizing material,
will last much longer than that which
is galvanized before weaving. In the
latter case the galvanizing material
will be more or less cracked, and the
wire will soon begin to rust.
1t is of great Importance to have the
wire well stretched. An ordinary wire
S lretcher will not stretch woven wire
tightly enough. Where a large guam
tity is purchased at a time a power
full wire stretcher is usually thrown in.

| to have the entire farm fenced with
this or some other kind of fence that
is hog or sheep tight 1t is not ques,
ton of whether you can afford it or
not; it is a question of whether you
can afford not to do it. 1t will prob
ably not be possible to fence all the
farm in one year, but the work should
extra feed the hogs and sheep will
pick up will pay the entire cost of fenc-
ing in a very few years.
Cement Posts.
The first part of the fence to be put
up is the posts. The time for putting
up cheap posts that will rot out and
need renewal in three or four years is
past. There are two ways of secur-
ing lasting posts-making them of ce-
ment and treating wooden posts with
creosote. Cement posts are not hard
to make. The first step is to make a
wooden mold of the proper size. About
six inches square at the bottom. taper
ing to four at the top, is a very good
size. Three cornered strips should be
placed in the bottom of the molds to
make the corners of the posts rounded.
A number of molds can be built side
by side, so that several posts can be
made at once. The best mixture for
cement posts is one part portland ce-
ment, two and one-half parts clean,
sharp sand and five parts gravel. The

Then add water and mix to thick
mortar. After this is well mixed
spread it out in a thin layer and spread
the required amount of gravel over it.
Mix the whole mass well by shoveling
over several times.
The inside of the moldS should be
creased with soft soap to keep the
cement from sticking. Spread about
one and One-half inches of concrete
over the bottom and lamp it well.
Near each corner lay a steel wire
lengthwise of the post. These re-en-
forcing wires should be fairly heavy,
but will not need to be galvanized, as
the concrete will keep them from rust
ing. They should be Topped at the
end to prevent slipping. Now add
concrete up to within an inch of the
top of the mold. lamp again and put
in two more reinforcing wires. Fill
the mold to the top, lamp and round
off the upper corners. Long staples
with the points bent a little to keep
them from pulling out should he stuck
into the cement at the places where
the wires are to be fastened. After
the posts are set the wires can be
fastened TO these staples by a small
piece of soft wire twisted through
them.
After the cement has partially set
1t should be covered with sand to
keep it from drying out too rapidly.
The posts should be sprinkled at least
once a day for week, when they may

posts with creosote is very simple and
inexpensive. Any kind of post is suit
able for use with this treatment-in-
deed, the poorest soft wood posts asst
the longest after being properly treat,
ed. The apparatus needed consists Of
two small metal tanks, one of which
is arranged so that fire can be built
under it. Both tanks are filed two
thirds full of creOsote, which can be
bought by the barrel at reasonable
rates. The creosote in one of these
tanks is heated almost to boiling, and
the pests, which must be well sea-
soned, are placed in it and left for
about six hours. Usually only the part
of the post that is to go into the ground
is treated.
After remaining in the hot creosote
for six hours the posts are taken out
and Immediately placed in the cold
creosote. The sudden reduction OF
temperature causes the steam in the
pores of the post to contract, making
partial vacuum, and the air pressure
drives the creosote into all parts of
the post. This treatment costs only
about 10 cents a post. The treated
posts will last twenty years or longer,
or about five times as long as untreat-
ed ones.
In putting up a permanent woven
wire fence great care must be taken
to see that the corner posts are well
braced. Fig. shows a very efee-
