and the posts allowed to cure. The
first method gives the better posts
and better results, but the second
method is faster.
1t is hard to estimate the cost Of
concrete posts made on the farm, as
they can be made during odd times
when work is slack. Also, the price
of the material used varies with the
locality. The cost of a concrete post
varies from 20 to 30 cents for ord1.

as a good five-inch, seven-foot cedar
post will cost. The cost of cement
for each post is to IL cents. The
sand and gravel can usually be OBJ
tanned on the farm. Reinforcements
cost about az cents pound, and
four to four and one-half pounds are
used to a post.
Fence wire may be attached to the
posts in several different ways. Some
times holes are made through tie
posts by placing small pins or creased
bolts in the forms. These are re-
moved before the concrete has set,
leaving a hole through which short
wire may be placed to fasten the line
wire There are several different pat
ented fasteners on the market, but
their use makes the cost of the posts
higher. Usually the cheapest and
simplest way is to fasten the fence
wire to the post by wrapping small
wire around the post.
After the posts are made they
should be cured for at least 80 days
by keeping them moist until they are
set hard. This may be easily done by
covering them with straw and wet.

will be made during the winter, care
should be taken to prevent the con.
crete from freezing before it has set.
Posts made in cold weather must be
kept from freezing until hardened.
With due care the work of making
concrete posts can 60 on all winter,

Concrete posts are not difficult to
make, and anyone who is handy witt,
tools can make set of post molds in
a short time. There have been many
different types of homemade molds
made, but when made of wood they
have one drawback-they soon warp
out of shape and do not remain serv.
iceable for any length of time. If
many posts are to be made It is usual
ly more economical to purchase steel
molds. These can now be purchased
very reasonably. Steel molds for a
single post may be purchased for
from $3.50 to $3.50 each, and in sets
of six from $12 to SIS.
All concrete fence posts should be
reinforced. Some people possess the
erroneous idea that old barbed wire
makes good reinforcement and all
that is necessary is to use lots of it,

more feed than that which the fields
furnish. AS the frosts soon kill the
coWpeas and the leaves all drop Oft,
many farmers sell the lambs direct

Other sheep-feedars buy in the fall
and keep the sheep from 80 to 100
days longer, feeding grain and hay
and in many cases stlage. But the
uncertainty of the market has kept
many farmers from doing this, espe-

There are two methods Of making

In central and north Missouri sheep
feeding is an important factor with
many of the farmers. Especially pop
ular is the practice of pasturing out
the underground in the cornfields. In
most cases cowpeas are sown with
the corn to furnish feed for the
lambs. BY some the cowpeas are
sown at the last cultivation Of the
corn, but unless the weather is ex
ceptionally favorable the cowpeas do
not make very good growth.
On the station farm here we find 1t
a better practice to delay compliant
ing a little and sow the peas with the

The purpose of reinforcing is to add
strength to the concrete. Old rusty
wire and scrap iron which itself has
been weakened by rust and corrosion
cannot add strength to the concrete.
The most desirable form of rein
forcement is the round, square or
twisted square bar and some Of the

sheep business; yet if they lose a
corn crop they don't stop raising
corn. But, with all the uncertainty
of the market, a flock of breeding
ewes will nearly always pay good In
terest. During the last two years
western ewes have been cheap and
plentiful on the market, 81 buying a
good class of ewes. Cross these ewes
with a good mutton ram, and by July
l the lambs will bring as much as the
ewes cost. The ewes fleece will pay
for her keep.

ewes brought $4.05 on the st. Louis

Marketing the lambs in June or
| early in July is in nearly every case
the advisable thing to do. First, be-
cause the lambs will make little, if
any, gain from July to Sept. 1. From
records kept here we find that lambs
more often lose than gain in weight
during the hot summer weather. Sec
ond, this system avoids the risk and
trouble of stomach worms. Third,
these lambs do not have to compete
with the western lambs on the mar
ket, as they do not begin to come in
until later. and with only native
lambs on the market at this season Of
the year higher market usually pre-
walls.
The idea of having ten or a dozen
SHeep AROUND LHe farm 10 ACT as SCdV-
engers never has nor never will do
the sheep industry any good. Not be-
cause sheep will not clean out the
fence rows and utilize odds and ends
of pasture, but because the number of
sheep and the amount of money in
vested is TOO small for the average
farmer to pay enough attention to
them.
Missouri ranks as one of the FORE
most sheep states in the corn belt, as
rightfully she should. The natural
advantages of this state for the sheep
industry are surpassed by none. We
have Kansas City and St. Joseph on
our western border, and, as we are in
close touch with Omaha and Denver,
so our opportunities for purchasing
western feeding and breeding sheep
are the best. For the finished product
we have the Kansas City stock yards

person to work conveniently. The
wider the house, the higher the walls
should be in proportion. 1t is unnec-
essary to have the rear side Of the
house over four feet six inches high,
unless a fiat roof is used. In houses
which have their highest sides facing
the south the front should be not less
than six feet high.
The other feature which determines
the height Of the south wall is the ne
cessity of admitting sufficient light.
During the shortest days in winter,
when proper lighting is the most es-
sential, the sunlight extends back a
distance about twice the height of the
windows. For a house IL feet wide,
six feet is the proper height for the
top Of the windows; for one IA to 16
feet wide, seven feet is the proper
height, and for one IS to 20 feet wide
the height Of the windows should be
seven feet eight inches.
These rules should certainly be OBJ
served where light 10 admitted only

directions.

outside surface of the post. Rein.
forcement placed in the center of the
posts adds nothing to the strength OF
the posts and is waste of material.
In making the concrete good quail
ity of cement should be used. Very
little need be said in regard to this,
as there are many good brands on the
market.
