Brace for Corner Post.

wire was stapled. Many of the ce-
ment posts in this case had to have
extra large butts on account Of the
hollows in the ground, which had a
tendency to pull up the posts.
During this time of the year, when
the ground is very dry it is sometimes
very troublesome while building wire
fence to keep the post from turning
at the corners. Anchor the corner
post about four feet, then dig a trench
the same depth toward the second
post, nail two by four scantling to
the corner post at the bottom, have
the scantling about four or five feet in
length, now attach two by four three
feet In length to the scantling, tamp
the dirt over this securely and the
post will never slip or turn If properly
braced at the top. To properly brace
the post at the top the brace should
be fitted in the post two and one-half
feet from the bottom and top, this
brace should be of good material with
a cross brace Of wire as shown in the

GROUND GRAIN FOR FEEDING
oat Grain Should Be Crushed and the
Ear Corn Ground Into Coarse
Meal for Horses and Cows.

A popular grain feed for cows and
horses is provender-corn and oats
ground together. Corn on the cob and
oats for cows is fully as good as
shelled corn and oats, and the labor Of
shelling is saved. Probably the finer
they are ground the more completely
they will be digested, but there is a
point Of fineness beyond which the
cost Of reduction will be greater than
the gain secured. Just when this point
was reached would depend upon so
many things, the price of the grains,
the cost of grinding and the value Of
the dairy product, that no definite
statement can be made. But this
much may be said. the oat grains
should be crushed so as TO expose the
kernels to the action of the digestive
juices. and the ear corn should be
ground into a coarse meal.

construction, to bond issues or main
tenance of roads from dramshop
license funds.
The department will study all Of
these systems with the view to deter
mining what system or combination of
systems works best in actual practise.
There is, however. at present no
standard system of keeping accounts
for road building and maintenance,
and as result, while some counties
know to penny the purpose for which
money was spent, others have no def
mite check or reporting system. Among
various counties with the same condi-
tons, cost for excavation or other la
Dor is anything but uniform, and many
counties, because of the absence of
definite knowledge, fail to use local
and cheap materials and construct
roads which are unnecessarily expen-
sive for their purpose, or which will
wear out before the bond issues are re-
deemed. The investigation will In
clude a careful study of the use of con-
vict labor in road construction.
In connection with the scientific
study. the departments highway en-
gineers will advise freely with local
officials as to improvements, and thus
give each county visited the advan-
tage of direct cooperation, engineer
ing supervision and assistance.
These Investigations, it is believed,
will yield important economic data
bearing especially on the benefits and
burdens of road Improvement and
showing the extent to which financial
outlay under given typical conditions
is justidable.
The heads of state highway depart
ments are manifesting great interest
and are cooperating cordially in this
work. These data when obtained will
be published and thus made accessible
to all county and state road officials.

BUILDING WIRE FENCE
EXCELLENT SUBSTITUTE FOUND
FOR RAILS AND BOARDS.
Not Expensive When One Consider
Lasting Qualities Of Good Heavy
Galvanized Wire and Inds-
struetible Cement Posts.

(By p. X. EDWARDS. Copyright. l9l4.)
Pigs and the board fence we're the
the bane of our existence as boys, for
no matter how securely we fastened
the old boards the pigs would get out
just when we we're starting for the
swimming hole or going berrying.
Now concrete posts and wire fencing
have become substitutes for the
boards and rails and once set up are
fortunately there to stay.
"But wire fencing is SO expensivel"
the reader will say. The reply TO that
Is, "If you do not consider the lasting
qualities of good heavy galvanized
wire and the indestructibility Of ce-
ment posts" The writer remembers
putting a fifty-hve inch woven wire
fence around his garden some nine
teen years ago, using chestnut posts
set twenty feet apart. This fence is
still standing and rs to all appearances
In excellent condition. Regarding the
spacing of the posts around this gar
den, which bordered the highway and
required 400 feet of fencing. II we
had used a board fence with eight
foot post spacing, thirty more posts
would have been required, and as
these cost even in those days Is cents
each, a saving Of $3.50 was effected.
In this particular case the posts be-
ing of chestnut (eight feet long, the
butts were painted with a creosote
preparation and set three feet in the
ground.
In using cement posts, which are
easily made at home, be sure to have
the butts Of the corner and end posts
extra heavy and then no anchors are
needed; also provide for two bolt
holes in each post, one near the top,
the other near the bottom. to be used
for the bolts which hold the wooden
strip to which the wire is stapled.
In setting some 500 feet of poultry
fencing this past year the writer used
modern heavy woven wire, with six
foot cement posts set three feet in
the ground. To these short posts
were bolted five-foot wooden strips
three by four inches, to which the

HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
TO STUDY ROAD CONDITIONS
Data Being Sought Looking Toward
Standardized System Of Local
Road Management.

Detailed studies of local road build
ing systems in 100 counties are now
being carried on by the department of
agriculture in cooperation with the
state highway departments and local
road authorities.
The purpose Of this study is to dis
cover the points Of excellence and de-
fects in existing local methods of
building and maintaining roads which
will aid the state authorities to put
local road management on a systema-
tzed basis. The cooperating state au-
thorities have been asked to desig-
nate counties that present typical and
exceptional features as to topography,
character of road materials, methods
of construction and maintenance, ad-
ministrative organization, methods of
road financing and traffic conditions
From these lists 100 counties will be
selected, and in these counties the
division of road economics will make
intensive studies.
This investigation is prompted by
the fact that there is at present very
little knowledge as to the most ef-
fective and economical methods by
which a county can develop its roads.
At present the methods of financing
local road improvements vary from

ExperIenee Essential.

No farmer who has not tried II

high cost, that experience and good
