STRETCH FENCES WITH AUTO
Accomplished Satisfactorily Where
Tools Were Lacking.

It was desired to build about three
miles of three-strand barbed-wire
fence and fence-buildlng equipment
was not available. An automobile was
pressed into service and the work was
accomplished satisfactorily in the fol-
lowing manner: The posts were set
ready to receive the wire. The rolls
Of wire were hauled to the place ut
which the wiring was to begin. Two
posts were set In the ground, one on
each side of the end of the fence, and
the three spools of barbed wire were
supported upon them by means of
pipe. The spOOls could revOlve as on
a reel and were set at the height ut
which it was desired to fasten the
wire on the fence posts. The free end
Of one coil was fixed to the autOmO-
bile, the wire was unreeled, and by
driving slowly 1t was drawn to the de-
sired tension. 1t was then stapled
to the posts. In this way the other
two strands were also fastened. The
result was a fence having the wire
drawn tightly and made in compare
lively short time.-POpular Mechan-

VACATION BY AUTO
Getting to Be Quite the Thing for
Family to Go to Some Re-
sort for Week.
NIGHTS PASSED IN HOTELS
Camping Out Where Fancy Chooses Is
Really Cheapest and Most Enjoy.
able-Keep the Gasoline Tank
Well Filled.

1t Is becoming quite the thing for
families to make the vacation trip by
auto, either going to some distant re-
sort for a week or two, or taking Il
leisurely drive of several hundred
miles through the country. The nights
may be spent in hotels or farmhOuses,
or you may camp where fancy chooses.
The latter is really the cheapest and
most enjoyable.
The pleasure of any trip Is in pro-
portion to the poorest accessory. A
g%reenhOrn at camping will either take
along a lot of useless things or forget
some things which are essential. The
experienced camper has learned what
needed to make the days and nights
comfortable; so talk the plans over
carefully with those who have taken
one or more trips of this kind. and get
their suggestions and advice.
Supplies Needed.
For the cur you will need to take a
gallon can of oil, a can of grease, n
or two gallon cans of gasoline, a tow
line, spade, tire chains, and an AK.
Keep your gasoline tank well filed, es-
pecially If you are off the main line
of travel. If you find the gasoline is
getting low and no supply within sew
eral miles, put in a gallon Of kerosene
and adjust the carburetor for it.
Fitting your purse to your needs Of
equipment requires careful study. If
you can afford it, buy a trailer. If
this is put of your reach buy a tent. 1t
is surprising in what a small space you
ran fold a modern camping tent. A
roll no longer than Il trunk and the
width of the running board will hold
the tent roof, springs, mattress, mos
quito netting and legs for the
bed support. In another roll you can
have u lunch table and set Of chairs.
while q small box in the tOnneau will
carry the food, and can be opened up
to provide Il table on which to eat.
Cooking Utensils.
A portable stove and a few alum
mum cooking utensils, with knives,
forks, spoons, etc, will complete the
outfit. In two or three quart thermos
bottles you can carry hot coffee for
the MONDAY lunch as well as iced milk
and water. Much Of the food can be
purchased at farmhOuses as you go
along, but 1t is well to carry a strip
of bacon, sugar, flour, salt and pep
per. Four or five people can get along
very nicely for q week, and obtain a
very enjoyable vacation at little cost.

for the storage of which no provision
Is made In this shed.
The windows of the shed should be
hung on center pivots to permit en-
trance Of air through their full size.
Sheep demand an abundance of light
and cannot possibly thrive where 1t is
damp and dark. For this reason the
number of windows must be ample.
The doors used by the sheep are made
In two parts. the upper half being
hinged ut its top to open upward and
outward. With such door, an album
dance Of windows, and adequate roof
ventilators. there will always be good
ventilation If proper are is taken In
the adjustment. Ventilation, 1t should
be said, is one Of the prime requisites
for any type Of sheep building.
Such a shed as this affords good pro-
lection for sheep under any conditions,
and, If made 20 feet wide instead Of 16
feet. may be used for winter lambIng.
The extra width enables detachable
Landing pens to be set up next to the
wall, leaving room enough at the rack
for the other ewes.
Still another type described in the
bulletin is a shed 16 feet wide by "a

~
the oven rack may be put on the bot
tom and the jars placed in a dripping
pan with a little water in 1t, enough
to send up steam all the time they are
cooking. The Jars are filled with fruit
and then a hot strip poured in to near
ly fill them. Place in the over on the
asbestos sheet, being careful that the
Jars do not touch each other or the
sides of the oven where the heat Is
greatest. When the strip boils up
and flows over the tops of the fruit,
remove the jars, fill with boiling strip,
put on sterile rubbers and new tops
and seal. For small fruits 10 to IS
minutes in a hot rel Is sufficient time
to cook well, but with firm, larger
fruits, like peaches. pears and plums,
a longer time will be needed. It is
wise to take out a piece Of fruit and
try 1t with a spoon to see II 1t is we'll
cooked before filling and sealing the
cans.
The advantage Of this method is
that the fruit may be put into the
sterile Jars the night before and while
breakfast Is preparing the cooking can
go on, the cans filled and all out of
the way before the work of the day
begins.
Another method very popular among
campers where the wild fruit is picked
and put up In the woods with few
things to work with, Is the following:
Put the fresh fruit into sterile Jars
with good tops and new rubbers, fill
ing the Jars to overlooking with hot
strip Of any richness desired, seal and
place in a boiler, pour in boiling wa
ter to cover the Jars to a depth Of two
inches. Put on the boiler cover and
pack rugs, carpets or anything to
keep the heat, leave "a hours, take out
the cans, screwing them to be sure
they are perfectly air tight, wrap jars
or put in a dark, cool place.

bins, so that the barn has feed capaci-
ty enough to carry the stock on full
feed for five months.
Closed Sheep Shed.
Another type Of building discussed
in the same bulletin is n closed sheep
shed. This Is especially adapted for
farms in which the main barn has
large feed capacity but not sufficient
flood space for the live stock. The
shed discussed in the bulletin allows
IL square feet of floor space per anil
NAL, and is sufficiently large to hold
20 sheep. In this type of building the
feed racks Il down the center of the
interior, dividing the floor space into
two large pens each 6 feet 6 inches by
"a feet. A combination hay and grain
rack should be used and all the feed
ing should be done from the walkway
in the center so as to avoid disturbing
the sheep. A large door at the end of
the rack is intended for taking in feed,
