LIMESTONE TO CORRECT SOIL
Some Experts Have Especially "a
vored II Because Of Its Lower
First cost--Lasts for Years.

Pulverized limestone has recently
been much recommended and some
experts have especially favored 1t be-
cause of its lower first cost. Although
1t is sold at relatively low cost a
ton, farmers should study its avail
ability In connection with their own
specific soil conditions and always re-
member that the results from its use
cannot be expected promptly.
Limestone is carbonate of lime and
It will require twice as much an acre
to furnish as much actual lime as is
contained In burned lime.
Pulverized limestone is fool proof"
It can be applied to a soil in any de-
sired quantity within reason. so as to
suffice for many years. without in any
way endangering the soil. It teaches
out very slowly.

age, which makes this practice all the
more to be condemned. The Wiscon.
sin station found that pigs from ma
ture sows average 20 pounds heavier
at eight months Of age than the prod.
uce from gifts.
The farmer who breeds his gifts to
farrow at II to Is months old is the
one who says that he cannot afford to
keep old sows, He fattens the gifts as
soon as they have weaned their litters,
turning them OF in September and So
lects another bunch of spring gifts to
produce his next years pig crop. By
following this practice for few years
the size and vitality Of the herd be-
come impaired and the business un-
profitable.
Keep the tried brood SOW as long as
she produces large filters of strong
pigs. When it becomes necessary to
replace the old SOW, select a gilt from
q large litter, feed her for growth
rather than for fat, and don't breed
her to farrow her first litter before she
is Is to IS months old. A gilt bred at

cial care and 1t is questionable IL such

Corner Post Hraced.

While stones have been used for
bracing at the front and they give
good service, the use OF two other
larger stones farther from the base
and attached by wire to the other
posts adjacent to the center post will
materially assist in tightening the
burdens the center post must bear.
Further description of how this is
done is not necessary, since the
sketch shows this very plainly.

BRACE FOR THE CORNER POST
Use Of Two Large Stones, Attached
by Wire to Adjacent Posts, VIII
Assist Materially.

Whoever has had anything to do
with wire fencing knows he is up
against it constantly when he comes
to the corner posts. Try as hard as
one will, that corner post will sag and
turn in in course of time. You can
brace it with rails in the ground or
pile stones In at the front of the post,
yet, when wet weather comes and
frost pulls and tugs. the post will
yield and gradually slacken up.
The accompanying sketch shows one
way of bracing these center posts.
