HE WHO HEsITATES, LOSES

Fred knOp, the wen knOWH Duloc
Jersey breeder from near Charter Oak,
had a show herd of Durocs UP at the
interstate fair at Sioux City recently,
and captured number of ribbons. IN
all he took six prizes, although there
we're more hogs at Sioux City than at
the Iowa state fair. He took second
on spring boar under six months,
third on young herd bred by the eX-
hibitor, third on futurity litter OF four,
and fourth and fifth on futurity soWs.
The Charter Oak Times says Fred
tells an interesting story in relating
an incident Of how a man paid more
by waiting. A breeder came to the
Knop pens and saw this second prize
pig, and wanted to own him, but Mi.
Knop wanted $3.50 for. him, and the
man had not figured on paying so
much. The man brought several 9TH
err men around to see him to make
sure that the pig was worth all that
money. While he was waiting the
committee came and tied a ribbon on
Mr. Pig. Then Mr.. Knop said he
would have to bring $500. Again the
man hesitated, but he decided to buy
anyway-and when he got back to the
pens another man had bought the pig
and given his check in payment. III

THREsHER RUNS % YEARS

That good care of farm machinery
pays is demonstrated in the case of a
|threshing machine owned by an Iowa
farmer, H. E. Myers of Henry county
His machine was bought originally by
another man in 1892 and sold to Myers
in 1899. The first owner used it sew
en- seasons and the second Fl seasons,
making 20 seasons in all. The ma
chine has threshed more than mil
lion bushels of grain and is still go
ing strong and is reported as good
for several seasons more. But the
outfit has had the best of care; 1t has
been kept we'll oiled, in good repair
and under good roof. Its long life
is in marked contrast to the short life

MAKE YOUR OWN FENCE POSTS

Many Iowa farmers are making their
own concrete fence posts at cost OF
about 40 cents apiece. These posts
wien properly made and handled have
given satisfaction. Ii carelessly made,
on the other hand, they have given
any amount of trouble and have
, caused much prejudice against this
post.
If good material is used any type OF
concrete post can be made. One part
cement, two parts sand and three
parts gravel should be used in the mix
ture for the posts. Weak posts are
the result Of the use of gravel with an
excess of fine sand.
The reinforcing of the post has
caused some trouble in the past. Quar-
ter inch steel rods placed in all four
corners seem to stand the strain that
may be applied on the post from any
direction. The rods should be about
three-fourths OF an inch from the sides
of the post. ne4 .
Moulds for making the posts may be
purchased or they can be made at a
small cost. The posts should be left
in the m'oulds for "a hours and then
carefully removed. Best results are
secured if the posts are set on end in
a shady spot and kept damp for q
week. After being cured by this pro-
cess the posts will be ready for use in
about one month.
