ATTACHING VroE TO CONCRETE
POSTS.

There are numerous methods OF at
taching wire fencing TO concrete posts.
Some makers place STAPLES or Vine
loops in the green concrete: others
male holes n the posts. The former
method is not desirable because the
fastener cannot be located exactly
whore the wire of the fencing VIII
come when the post is set in the
ground: then. too, the fastener will
eventually rust or break off and viii
thus iniure the looks Of the post.
On the other hand. holes through the
posts weaken them. and therefore his
method IS. in general. unsatisfactory
The simplest. easiest. and cheapest
vav of fastening a wire fnnce to q CON
crete post is bv encirCling the post
with q wire one size less than the Gov
responding wire in the fence proper
and by twistine this wire arou1 the
strand of the fence. This is done in
two ways. The fastening wire Is
placed around the post. twisted upon
itself and then to the fence wire; o.
one end Of the fastening wire Is twisted
around the fence wire, and the Tree
end is then carried around the post
and twisted. Either plan is good. but
care must be taken to draw the fast
enfng wire tigilt. or else stock trying
to get through the fence may raise or
crush down the fencing with their
heads. If any trouble Is experienced.
the post should he r~oughenef at the
fastening point with a cold chisei
E~ypension and contraction of the
fence due to heat and cold are cared
for by the tension curves or kinks IN
he woven-vire fencing, and no fear
may be felt in drawing the fastening
wires as tight as necessary. Wooden
mailing strips should never be emf
he1deh in tho posts. for moisture VIII

WHY NOT BREED FOR SUMNER
EGGS?
CIV nj. C. CLINTON.)

Nearly everybody wants winter Eggs.
but why not have our hens lay through
the summer months as we'll? Chickens
Of a good many breeds hatch in Feb
ruary, and ought to begin laying the
latter part Of June or early in July,
Just when the winter layers are 60
ing off the Job.
Pulicts that commence laying about
this time are not very likely to mOult
very heavily the first year, and il they
are we'll cared for they will lay light
along through the summer months and
well into the winter.
OF course, the demand for g e IS
much heavier in the winter than the
summer, but then. too. the supply is
greater. The farmers wife who Will
have part of her 1ocks laying during
the winter months and the rest during
the summer months, will find can
arrange with customers in town TO
supply them with eggs all the year
around at a fixed price.
This is the kind Of egg business
which paws best. The greatest profits
are made by selling direct to the Gus
toner always, but to do this one must
nave a supply all the year around, ana

and then usually stop laying early in

How Prohibition Works in Rowan.

tho Charlotte Chronicle IS as follows:
The criminal docket OF Rowan Su-

2 notable fact that since the state
voted dry nearly two years ago there
has been a steady decrease in crime
in this section Of the State as shown

4 SOUTHERN FARMERS GUINEAS.

Some people object to the noise
which guineas make n their wild
nature, but as summer egg-layers.
guinea hasrs are hard to beat.
We have three guinea hens and a
cock that have the range OF the fields,
and they are the best insect destroy
ers that we can have on the farm.
They have q better reputation with us
as insect destroyers than the thievlng
crow which some writers commend 50
highly for the bugs and worms they
eat. and they also pay a handsome
rroht in eggs for any grain they may
eat.
The guinea hens lay an egg each
.day for several months at 8 time.
We have a brood Of young guineas
that are growing niceiy-they are q
cross between the pearl and the white
guinea, and are growing better than
we ever got either full blood to DO.
V liked the idea OF crossing
breeds. but q cross seems 70 increase
