AN EFFECTTvE wATER-aArE.

Many farmers have one or Two small
streams running across their farms, and
these streams, when the water rises. play
havoc with the fences, so that hardly
a farmer in the country has a fence at
all where it crosses a stream. Indeed,
it is impossible to keep up an ordinary
fence under such circumstances.
The following illustrated device shows
how a ater-gate may be constructed
which will prove highly successful and
it will last for years. An unusually high
water might damage it, but if construct
ed according to directions there is little

The barrel of water is so connected by
a rubber tube and gearing that IL lets
out about a cupf1l of water on the roots
of each plant as it is set. This puts the
water Just where it is needed by the
PLANTS, and they thrive much better than
when set by hand. A machine. three
men and a team can set from three 10
four acres of tobacco in day.

A1rALrA LAYS ON FAT.

KENTUCKY farmer who keeps about 100
hogs ON his farm every year asks: What
kind OF forage will produce the most fatf"
This is rather a difficult question and viii
-depend upon the time Of year and quality of
forage but when considered from fat pro-
ducing standpoint we would feel safe in maxi
ing the assertion that COW peas would give
the best results for producing fat, but il we
were asked what was the best forage we
would say alfalfa
The whole question depends upon the local
ity. but with any kind of hog pasture L will
pay to feed some grain feed to harden the
meat and give it a more desirable flavor. There
is nothing that win produce rapid gain In
hogs as alfalfa and corn.
