CEMENT POSTS C!4EAF
They Add Permanent Value TO
Farm and Are Lasting.
Unnecessary TO Use Expensive Core
Reinforcements as Wire lssJust
as Goor for Purpose-Some
Materials Required.

Concrete posts add permanent value
to farm property, and will last in
definitely. They can be made at cost
of % to Is cents a post, including
materials and labor. u &
An ideal post should fill the follow
ing requirements: Low first cost,
strength, and should be resistant to
the effects of water, frost, and fire.
After two or three years use, wood
posts possess only one-third to one
half their original strength-catalpa
posts excepted-while concrete
post will grow stronger with age.
A square post 5x5xS4 inches is
an all-around economical design.
Wooden forms may be used for this
design at reduced cost. They should
be made in gangs of six posts each.
Details of post design or form con-
struction for any particular design
may be had by writing to c. F. Chase,
assistant in farm mechanics at the
Kansas Agricultural college.
1t is unnecessary to use expensive
core reinforcements for concrete
posts. Wire is just as good for that
purpose, and reduces the cost Of the
post. Wire reinforcement spacers
may be bought on the regular wire
market. Pairs of number eight wire
or twisted No. IL wire, ready strung
with spacers, also are on the regular
wire market. At least six wire rein
forcements, with ends bent back
should be used to post. a-- 81.
A clean grade of sand and pebbles
only should be used in a ratio of two
parts sand to four parts pebbles. II
a clean grade of sand or pebbles is
not available, a good grade of either
may be easily washed. Dirt in sand
weakens concrete. A good test for
dirty sand is had by filling fruit jar
to the depth of four. inches and add
ing water until nearly full. After
shaking thoroughly the mud will set
tie on top of the sand. Sand con.
tanning more than one-half inch OF
dirt in this test should not be used
II unscreened "bank run" gravel is
available, it should be- used in the
proportion of one part cement to four
parts of gravel. For crushed rock OF
screened gravel, the concrete should
be used in proportion of one part
cement to two parts sand and four
parts of gravel. Definite amounts OF
water should be used, which may be
determined after, a few trials Port
land, cement is especially recommend
ed for post making.

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

- Pierson, N. Dakota-"The eczema
started on my scalp. It finally went
on to the back Of my neck, then on to
my back. arms and. chest. It broke
out in pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max
ing a sore about the size of dime.
At times the itching and burning were
SO intense that it seemed unbearable.
The more I scratched it the worse it
became, and there would be a slight
discharge from it, especially on my
scalp, SO as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp The,

Now take another piece Of the

stout iron rod sufficient to stand the
stress, being careful the framing or

iron being outward and on the lower

taken to brace the part of the build

prepotency, quality and soundness.
Keep him in prime condition, free
from parasites or disease, give him
plenty of exercise and not too heavy
service.
The sows must have the same quail

get sows from the large filters of

and a quiet disposition should be re-
quired. Once sow has demonstrated
her value keep her as long as she is

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF SWINE
Grade Herd, Equal to Pure BREEDS, May
= Be Established in Few Years
aes- With Little Care.
(By J. G. FULLER.)

Swine offer a greater opportunity
Tor improvement and upgrading than
any other class of live stock. There is
no reason why any farmer raising
hogs should have herd of scrubs and
inferior individuals. Starting with a
pure-bred sire and continuing to use
sire of the same breed, but few years
are required to establish, at little ex-
pense, a grade herd equal to pure
breds in every way, for pork produc-
ton. No class of animals increases SO
rapidly and none so readily retains
acquired characteristics. Even when
started with an inferior lot of sows,
a uniform herd can be developed by
using a good boar and each succeeding
