One Of the latest is a triangular gas

The proper proportions of concrete
mixture for post construction are
usually considered to be one part ce-

five parts clean broken stone or

not be larger than one-half inch in
diameter. The sand should be free

A 6x6 floor is usually sufficient.

doing this. all air bubbles are driven
out, leaving smooth sides to the post
when completed. The reinforcement
may consist of Observation-Disclosures
steel rods. They should be placed as
near the corners Of the post as pos
sible in order to secure the most
strength. The rule is to place the
reinforcement the same distance from
the outside as it's own diameter Each
rod should have a hook at each end
about one inch long This hook is to
prevent the steel from slipping in the
concrete when strain is put upon the
post.
To provide for fastening the wire

vanized iron staples that can be pur-
chased and while the cement is still
soft set them the same as you would
drive them into wooden post Short
pieces of wire should be used to fast

building the fence.
The side boards of the forms should
be removed "a to AS hours after pour

moved for at least one week. and
then very carefully. In the mean
time they should be sprinkled with
water several times daily and protect

FARMERS CLUBS OF
PRACTICAL BENEFIT
BY GEORGE WEHRWEIN,
College of Agriculture.

A few years ago a movement was
started in Manitowoc county to make
the country school a social center
through the organization of farmers
clubs. The idea was largely original
ed by the county superintendent of
schools who saw the possibility of
making such meetings of social and
educational value. He got his teach
ers enthusiastic and as result there
were seven such clubs in the county
last winter Many short-course men
and intelligent farmers were great
aid and encouragement in the starting
of these clubs. The average enroll
ment of active members was about
thirty and in many cases women and
the older children were allowed to be-
come members.
The topics discussed were along
the lines of agriculture and Of the
household. Two or three talks were
given by the members, and then
opened for discussion. The school
children varied the program by songs
and recitations. Usually parliamen-
tary drill was a part of the program
Another feature was the exchange
of speakers A man who had made
quite a success of raising chickens
was invited to speak at several clubs
on his line of work The same was
true of a prominent dairyman, and a
potato grower. Butter and cheese
makers talked to the clubs on the
oil
was brought to the meeting and the
members were shown how milk is
tested and the butter-fat and the but
ter is figured out by the butter maker.
Another club held sort of institute
to which all the farmers of the neigh
borhood were invited and some of the
farmers institute men were the chief
speakers.
Another feature was that of having
men outside of agriculture address
the meetings. The teachers prepared
on current topics and the county SUI
perintendent was often invited to dis
cuss school matters. Assemblymen
members of the county board, the
Judges Of the municipal and probate
courts, bankers, and men who he'd
made special studies in loca! history
were frequent speakers. The county
superintendent issued list of avail
able speakers which was sent out TO
the clubs
Through these clubs farmers gain
ed direct, practical benefit. Some
men got their ideas of the value Of
siloa, how TO construct them and how
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1911-11-03

to care for ensilage from these meet
ings. Alfalfa was introduced on some
farms and people became acquainted
with the buttermaker's side of the
milk question.
The club afforded a training in pub
lie speaking and in the organizing
and running of an organization ac-
cording to parliamentary rules. Chill
dren were given excellent training in
this way that will be of great value
to them when they have to conduct
the district and town meetings.
Then there is a great culture value.
The assemblymen and other men con-
nected with the government brought
the great world of politics to these
farmers. Through other speakers the
country high school. tuberculosis. con-
servation. banking methods, road
laws, history of the county, and other
topics of wide interest were pre-
sented.
There is a social side to the farm
er's club. 1t provides a place for the
people to go during the winter and
so is the first step towards making
the school a social center. One club
took steps to present a play. An
other ended its years work with a
minstrel show and lunch, to which
the short course boys put the finish.
ing touch by giving the Wisconsin
yells. They are planning on having
more such evenings this winter The
past fall two of the clubs held dis
trict fairs which were a great success.
A great deal depends on the leaders
in the community and the type of or
ganization they maintain. One club
is on the point of dissolving because
too many children were admitted and
of course the main purpose was lost
sight Of In other clubs 1t seems that
agriculture had only a minor place
and the club has more OF the charac
ter Of literary society. Still there
are others where the feeling among
the farmers is different and the clubs
are stronger than ever. However, It is
felt that there is need of some cen.
tralizing aim to work for more than
just the social and cultured side and
perhaps cooperative associations will
take the place of the present clubs
with all the present features main.
