(By c.. e. Alfred, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
For every dollars worth of live
stock kept in Tennessee another dol
lar is spent for fences to restrain
them, say men who make estimates
In pioneer days there was a tempta-
ton to split the tender logs into great
rails and construct fences with them
Each winter a few acres of land we're
cleared and each years clearing was
surrounded by a ten-rail fence, which
served to discourage some of the
larger wild animals and the loose farm
animals from destroying the crops.
Sometimes the surface stones were so
thick they had to be removed to make
room for the pillow, and these were
put into fences.
In this way our farms came to be
cut up into many small fields, each sur.
rounded by fence But now, with
the use of modern machinery, these
fences are in the way and expensive
to keep up All cross fences should
be eliminated, except those absolutely
necessary to keep the live stock in

Device Measures Road Wear.

Device Measures hoad wear
To the casual bystander the mixing
of all concrete may seem to be the
same process repeated over and over
again according to the same formula.
This is not so, however, as different
proportions of ingredients are used for
the different purposes which the fin
ished product must serve. Particular
ly is this so in the case of concrete
roads. To determine the durability of
this or that mixture in actual service
engineers have devised apparatus by
which the wear on a concrete road sur
face from year to year can be deter
mined to 1000 of an inch. The dew
ice is described in the Engineering
Record. The results of such tests will
not improve the condition of the par
ticular road on which they are made,
but they will indicate how better roads
may be built in the future.
