Cpy NJ. CoVERDELLO

Almost every farmer has one or
two small streams running across his
farm, and these streams, when the
water rises, play havoc with the
fences, so that hardly a farmer in the
whole country has scarcely any fence
at all where it crosses the streams.
Indeed, it is impossible to keep up
an ordinary fence under such circum.
stances.
A water-gate which will prove high
iy successful may be easily constructed
and made to last for years. An un-
usually high water might damage it,
but if constructed according to direc-
tions, there is very little likelihood of
its ever being washed away. If moth.

IMPROVING THE DAIRY HERD
to Pay for Their keep-Breed
Cows to Purebred Bull.

(By GEORGE HUMPHREY. University
of Wisconsin)
1. Treat cows gently and avoid ex-
citement.
2. Be regular in time of milking.
g. Keep stables clean, well-lighted
and ventilated.
4. Weigh the milk of each COW at
milking time.
5. Get your neighbor to share with
you in owning Babcock milk tester,
and test the product Of each cow.
6. Discard the animals which have
failed at the end of the year to pay
for their keep.
7. Breed your cows to a purebred
registered dairy bull from family

s. Raise we'll the heifer calves from
COWS, which for one or more genera
tions have made large and profitable
productions of milk and butterfat.
g. Breed heifers to drop their first
calves at "a to 80 months Of age. Give
COW six to eight weeks rest between
lactation periods.

A-Stream bed
B-Forked posts on banks. These should
be strong durable, and well set in the
ground. Many times we see trees at the
fence-crossing that are the correct dis
tance apart to be utilized for this pur-
pose, which makes 1t all the more lasting
and permanent.
C-Pole to fit and turn in forks. The
length and size will depend upon the dis
tance across the stream. 1t should be as
straight as possible and must be smooth
and round at the ends, to permit of easy
turning.
d, d-wire or straps to retain pole, and
prevent its rising during floods.
E, e-Smooth wires.
=, f-Boards or small poles attached to
wires.
G.. g-Stay-wres, to prevent posts from
pulling up or leaning downstream. These
should extend upstream from the posts.
ing but large stock are kept adjoining
these gates, leave as much space as
possible between the wires to permit
the passage of trash and timbers dur
ing the floods.
When the water rises during a flood,
a gate of this kind rises and floats on
the surface of the stream, and there
will be very little strain or pressure
on the fence. AS the stream runs
down, the gate again settles in its
original position, forming a stock
proof fence.
One must be very careful to keep all
logs, sticks and trash from collecting
and hanging on the gate after the
water recedes, to prevent breakage or
damage by sagging, which would cause
the gate not to work as it should.

DESTROY ALL GRAPE INSECTS

Several grape insects winter among

gether and burned,
Such work will be OF value against
the grape berry moth and the grape
leaf folder, which hibernate in the
pupal condition in the fallen grape
leaves.
The grapevine flea beetle and the
grape leaf hopper spend the winter as
adults under trash Of all kinds In and
about vineyards, and the destruction
of trash as indicated will expose them
to adverse climatic conditions.

Roosts and Nest Boxes,

The proper height for roosts are
about two feet from the ground. The
dropping board platform should be
about six inches below the roosts. 1t
is better to have the nest boxes at an.
other part of the pen, about q foot
or two above ground, Placing them
under the roosts gives hiding places
for rats and mice back OF the nests,
and besides the fowls while scratch.

nests when the latter are placed on

Storing Roots.

Carrots should be dug earlier than
the more hardy crop. They can be
stored in cave, pit, cellar or any
cool, we'll ventilated place where the
roots will not freeze. Satisfy, parsnips
and horse-radish are hardy and may
be left in the ground all winter with.
out danger of loss from freezing.
However, there is always a demand
for these roots during the winter, and
some OF them should be stored for
tho winter trade.

praotice OF Rurnlnn Straw

The practice Of burning straw is
far too common on farms. Many farm
ers do not realize the true value OF
the straw stack The fertilizing value
OF the straw from ten.acre wheat
field is from s25 to $40. II the straw
Is used as bedding and the manure
used, this value OF the straw Is saved
and in addition thus used will absorb
\ large amount Of liquid manure that
might otherwise be wasted.

CURING AND SMOKING MEATS
Use Only Green Hickory or Hard
Maple in Preparing Hams and Ba-
con-Don't Use Soft Wood.

The proper method of curing and
smoking meat which is to be kept for
summer use is worth considerable at
tention. To cure hams and bacon and
sausage and smoke them so that they
are not only delicious but have good
keeping qualities, is something of an
art.
For smoking hams and bacon, using
only green hickory or hard maple, as
knotty as possible, in tight smoke.

The Shirt Waist Has
Again Resumed
It's StDay

ored blouses-or rather shirt waists,
are to win the height Of popularity
this spring. The shirtwaist has re-
appeared in all its simplicity and
severity, and with it have been re-
vived the high standing or choler
collar, the straight, closely buttoned
front, and the simple full length
sleeves finishing with mannish cuffs,
which differ FROM the linked cuffs in
that they now close with patent fast
eners. It must not be supposed,
however that the blouse viii be rele-
gated to the back numbers, for these
loose fitting, airy garments will be
as popular as ever. The most I'M
portant innovation noted in the very
newest blouses is the introduction of
greater fullness into the top of the
sleeves. This is effected through the
use of the shoulder yoke which eX-
tends along the very top of each
shoulder, merging into the sleeves,
the lower edge of the yoke extending
towards the under arm seam of the
blouse. A series of fine pin tuclls
is set into this yoke along the top
of the shoulder. The sleeve is held
into a closely fitted cuff, which is
finished with a free point at the ell
bow, upon the outer-side OF the arm.
Dainty figured crepes, embroidered
Voiles, Marquisettes, Batiste and
Crepe de Chimes are freely used, and
lavishly adorned with medalliOns,
narrow edgings and inserts. Several
new types OF collars are noted. thus
permitting of easy choosing. Prices
range all the way from 79C up to SIS.
