REPAIRING. FENCES
is SEASONABLE TASK

Clemson College, Dec. TO- VIM
ter is the best season for fence build
ing and repairing on the farm, for
more than reason, and experts
at Clemson College advise farmers TO
set aside some time during this
month or next for doing such work
of this kind as is needed.
Fall nd winter are more severe
on fences than spring and summer
and right now, especially, they suf-
fer much damage from fires which
are started in nearby brushwood.
One step in fence work, therefore.
is to make certain that no piles OF
brushwood and dead leaves are left
at the fences. People scarcely re-
alize how many fences are lost by
fire because such trash piles are
heaped about the fence post
One thing that makes this a good
season for fence work is the fire.
quency of hard rains, which leave
the ground soft and in a condition
that permits one to set fence posts
rapidly.
Finally, any job that can be done
on the farm in winter should be
done then, because on most South
Carolina farms it is the .quietest
a and there is more time for
carpentry and such work than at
any other season.-Clemson College

SAVE THE COST OF SPRAYING
Martins and BIuebirds Should Have Houses Provided for Them Near
 the Orchard

The American Bird House Journal says that farmers and orchardists can avoid the cost of spraying fruit trees by providing the purple martins with a residence in or near the orchard and encouraging these intelligent birds to keep down the insect pests The pa per produces evidence to show that the martins protected a certain or ehard to such an extent that great crops of fruit were raised without any spraying at all. It may be too much to assume that the birds will take care of all tree pests; the San Jose scale, for instance. must be beyond the reach of any bird But there is no doubt about the activity and the value of martins and bluebirds in fight ing insect pests, nor any doubt at all of the readiness of these birds 10 oc- cupy and take advantage of the nice little houses provided for them. pro- yided the English sparrows are kept at their distance.

KEEPS TREES IN CONDITION
Device of German Expert Provides for Their Systematic Watering
 and Ventilation.

A very ingenious and practical de. vice for assuring the trees on city sidewalks a sufficient supply of water. no matter how dry the season and how hard baked the earth has recently been put in operation in Strassburg by MT Sauer. the city tree inspector. It consists of tube of iron or lead bent into the form of ring large enough to eneircle the stem of the tree The earth is removed so that this ring may be placed just above the roots, and is then filled in again, leaving the end of a pipe connecting with the ring pro- jeeting above the surface of the ground The top of the ring Is pierced with large number of small holes, and tin cover or shield prevents these from becoming stopped up with earth By means of funnel in the protrud- ing end of the pipe any desired amount of water may be supplied to the roots without waste or loss of time. A fur ther advantage, according to Prone. theus, is the ventilation thus secured of the earth in the vicinity of the roots-Seientifc American.

 nTOWND7< M HELPS
STREETS OF MANY LEVELS
Time May Come When Multiple Road ways VIII Be Matter of
 Necessity.

Fifty years ago the notion of a 20 story building would have seemed ex- travagant. Now it is commonplace We have with us some prophets who talk about the city of the future as place of many stories We have now but one level of streets They fore tell many levels, the Portland Gre gonian states Perhaps there will be plane of streets for every floor in the big buildings The streets will be laid on concrete arches and lighted hy electricity Keeping them clean will not be much of task because no horses will be permitted upon them, nothing but gasoline trucks. The horse, amiable and useful creature that he Is, must be blamed as the great deffler of the streets. When he has taken his final farewell of the world, dirt and flies will vanish too.
 The need of some such modification in municipal architecture has become apparent In few years it will be pressing. Few single streets are wide enough to accommodate the popua- tion of the big buildings which border them in the busy quarters of our cit ies. There is always congestion, tur- moil and delay when the cave dwell CTS pour out In body. In case of great fire there would be terrible panic and destruction of life Besides all that, there is great loss of time in continually going from the top to the bottom of high buildings The eleva- tor service is usually exemplary, but it cannot work miracles.
 With streets connecting all the tenth stories of the same city with one another the dwellers at that alti- tude would constitute an independent community There would be another set of streets at the fifteenth story and still others higher up and lower down Business would naturally tend to segregate it's departments on differ ent levels and an endless saving of time and toll would ensue.

Best Not to Copy Too Closely.

Af.er the general change of the political situation in the middle ages that took away the city-planning activ- ities from the princes, and either an initiated them or put them in the hands of the citizens, those citizens in very many cases turned out to be very ordinary, short-sishted, and un- educated bourgeois Therefore, con tinues Dr Werner Hegemann.
