is psid to the drag exercised by the
weight of the gate.
gate post of narrow diameter,
such as wood or metal, soon works
through the soil unless properly
stayed Even stone pier would give
way in soft soil. The great point is
to provide some resistance to the
drag.
There are many devices that inge-
nuity will suggest A simple one, if
rather costly, would be TO imbed the
post in broad-based block OF con-
crete
The weight would then be on the
post instead of the gate, and the cen
ter of gravity would be supported by
the base of the block, whether the
gate stood open or closed.
Whatever device is adopted, let
there be no delay about the proper
hanging of gates. This is a matter
that gives away the character of a
farmer perhaps more than anything
else about his place.
While on the subject of gates and
gate posts, we may call attention to
the fact that many a gateway in the
wet season is regular sea of mud,
and the fields on each side cut up
badly for some distance
Getaways should be firm and un-
yielding, not only to provide clean and
easy passage for foot or wheel, but
also to secure firm gate posts. A soft
gateway gives no material support to
a post
Where there is hard bottom, the
gateway may have the surface cleared
away and the hollow filled with stones
picked of the land. With soft bot,
tom, a foundation may be laid with
bundles OF faggots, which are to be COW
cred, as before, with the stones. Fag-
gots in such position last long
time and provide the drainage which
is required in such position.
Let the center of the gateway be
higher than the sides, so as to pre-
vent the Judgment OF water, which
does SO much harm in this position.

Nothing can be farther from good
management than the common prac-
tise Of leaving the grass land to take
care of itself. On the average small
farm the live stock have the run of
the whole Of the grass practically ev-
cry day in the year
There is never a fresh field to give
the stock a change; the sweet parts
of the farm are over-grazed. and by
over-manuring lose their sweetness
and become rank, while the poor parts
are allowed TO run to seed, thus in
creasing the proportion of weeds and
weed-grasses.
The prevailing fault on the many
farms, large and small, is the want of
proper gates, even when the fences
may be good A good gate that will
last half lifetime, if properly hung,
can be got for very little; we need not
specify at length what the common
stop-gaps are.
1t is deep study in human nature
to find an explanation Of the state Of
mind that will not take the trouble
to settle the question of gates prop
erly
Valuable machinery is stuck In a
gap, exposed to all weathers, and liza
Bile to be injured or to injure stock.
when moved to allow passage
In another case, the gap is stopped
by bushes, which have to be taken
down and built up laboriously each
time the gap is wanted
Frequently we see a gate leaning
against gap, because the farmer has
not time to set up gate posts. More
frequently the gate post Is set up SO
badly that 1t gives way, the gate drags
or has to be lifted each time it is
opened, and the gate comes to pieces
long before 1t should be worn out.
The average stop-gap, as contr1v-
ance to save time and trouble, leaves
everything to be desired 1t is waste
full both of time and material, and ID
most laborious.
The proper erection of a gate post
is not difficult matter II due regard

1t Is true that warm water Is Just
as wet as cool water, but it is not SO
palatable, and the hogs will thrive
better II they have cool drink at
least twice day. Water should al
ways be within reach.
Hogs exposed to the hot sunshine,
day in and day out during the sum-
mer will lose much OF the gains they
make, even though the clover fields
be of the finest.
The main and only point in raising
hogs Is to produce flesh that will
bring the most money, and every little
thing that will work toward this end
should be put into operation.

his breeding sows with corn can hone
