STEEL WIRE
AGAINST RUSTlN0s

flNasional Crop Improvement Ssrvsce1
Fence wire Is protected against the
elements by a coating Of zinc, which
when melted, will adhere to perfectly
clean untarnished steel.
AS the steel wire comes from the
annealing kettle Of lead, 1T carries on
its surface fecks of lead, and on each
exposure to air, the steel furnishes.
To correct this condition the wire 10
run through muriatic acid which in
turn Is removed by flushing with wa
ter. The wire liz now perfectly clean
and is rapidly dried by passing over
a hot plate and instantly plunged into
the kettle Of molten zinc.
As the wire emerges from the kettle
there is more Of the zinc adhering to
its sides and bottom than to the top,
and In order to make the coating uni
form, the wire Is wiped by passing 10
through two balls Of soft asbestos
held In a frame. The wire Ia then
cooled by winding on reels and Ia
ready for use.
It is very important that the coat
ing of the wires shall be uniform be-
cause IL 1t is too thin at any point,
the life of the wire is In danger.

SECURE FENCE FABRIC
TO LINE POSTS.

National Crop improvement servtce.l
After the wire fabric Of q steel fence
has been stretched between the end
posts, the next process Is to fasten
lt to the line posts.
1t is not necessary that all wires OF
the fence be fastened to support 1t.
A properly constructed fence post has
the staples manufactured as part OF
the posts and they are 80 spaced that
standard fencing will fit them. Fasten
the top bar Of the fence In the top
tongue Of the post, drive the tongue
well backward over the wire, then fast
en- as many wires as convenient and
the fence will set all right. Three or
four at each post Is enough. Do not
turn the tongues down over the wire
unless necessary, and then with the
claw of hammer carefully by de-
grees.
1t is not necessary to make These
tongues tight about the wire because
If allowed some play, sudden shock
against the wire will distribute itself
along the fence instead Of the shock
being all applied to one section be-
tween two posts.

MIXING CONCRETE FOR SET
TING STEEL FENCE POSTS.

National Crop Improvement servtce.l
Mixing can best be done on a fiat
platform made as nearly water-tight
as possible by placing the boards close
together. Be sure that you have sharp
sand because sand mixed with vege-
table matter will not make good COM
crete. Measure the sand and spread
1t In a layer Of equal depth. Place
the cement on top Of the sand and
thoroughly mix sand and cement by
turning over with shovel or mixing
hoe, mixing until the color Is uniform.
Spread this mixture on the board, then
spread the gravel on the top and con-
tinue mixing. When you have uni
form mixture, add water and continue
that until the desired consistency Is
secured. Add the water slowly while
cutting it over, as this will save losing
cement. Do not slight the mixing as
on the mixing largely depends the per-
manent results.
II the concrete shows streaky or dry
spots, it Is not sufficiently well mixed,
and must be turned again. After the
final turning, round up the pile and
it Is ready for placing. II you use
sand and gravel mixed, 1t should be
spread on a mixing board and thor
oughly wet and then spread the &C.
ment on top and mix, adding such wa
ter az is necessary.
The concrete mixture should contain
enough water so that 1t will handle
nicely on a shovel without running or
much. Slight tamping to remove bub-
bles, to fill the holes and give a per-
feet 1T is all that is necessary. A wet
mixture is preferable for post setting.
Concrete should not be exposed to
the direct rays of the sun until 1t has
had time to get hard. AS soon as the
concrete at the top Of the post hole Is
firm, it is a good plan to cover with
earth, green grass or something that
will In a measure retain the moisture.
II the concrete can be wet every day
for a week, it will be better for 1t.
Do not let the concrete freeze. II the
weather is frosty, the earth taken
from the hole should be shoveled back
on top of the concrete and left there
until the concrete has set and all dam
ger from freezing is past.
The best mixture is one part cement,
three parts sand and three parts grav-
ell. AS cement comes In bags of 100
pounds, for every bag Of cement you
should have three bags Of sand and
| three bags Of gravel.
Use concrete as soon as possible af-
| ter it fs made. IL brick bats or stones
are used instead Of gravel, they should
be broken up into small pieces.
Be sure your posts are thoroughly
set before stretching your fence.

SHIPBUILDERS TORPEDOED ON
THEIR LAST VOYAGE.
By D, H, Vinet.

The Califerro baseball team, the
leaders of the Behrman League, de-
feated the Shipbuilders in their last
game CT the season by q score OF
to 6.
Nose Chatellier assumed the role
of hero and dub, both in the same
game. The hero, when his hit in
the fifth inning brought in two runs,
which put his team in the lead, ana
the dub when his error in the seventh
lost the game for the Shipbullders.
This is the first game this season
that "Rill' Warning has lost. His
pitching in this game was not up to
the standard set by him in previous
games. He was rather wild, but
with any kind of support he can beat
a team like the one which opposed
him last Sunday. He was unfor-
tunate in having the support go back
on him just at the critical times.
The features Of the game were the
hitting of Vautier and Nose Chat
ellier.

Team

man tie for third with rs each.
Warning also leads in the numbe
of runs scored, total Of 20 to hi
credit. Koepp second with Is, Pei
lot third with 10. Pelloat is ia
ahead Of his teammates with sacri
flee hits. In the fielding department
the plum goes to Cohn, who HANDLED
121 put-outs, 20 assists, making onl,
one error. This, We believe, to b.
about the best record turned in b,
any semi-pro catcher this season.
The pitching staff is headed b.
Theo. Dendinger, Jr., with the per
feet average of 1000. Warning an

Politics and Patriotism.

editorial from st. Louis Globe Demo
crat)
The true principles and the right
practice Of American politics were
never better presented than they were
by Will III. Hays, chairman Of the Re
publican National Committee, in his
address to the Republican editors Of
Illinois at Springfield Friday night. It
was party address, delivered by the
head Of the party organization, but it
was broader and higher than any
party; as broad, in fact, as the whole
sweep Of America and as high as the
ideals that have made America what
it is. It was party address, yet if
any Democrat can read it without ap-
proval Of it's general principles then.
we say, there is something lacking in
his Americanism. For MI. Hays made
very clear, impressiyely clear, the fact
we so often forget, that the sole pur-
pose Of a party is service, that it is
only a means to an end, not an end in
itself, and that unless it justifies itself
by it's conduct land it's deeds it has
failed in it's mission and is unworthy
Of support. H. We are too prone to- think
the election of party candidates, but
that is only the peoples commission.
The thing that counts. comes after
ward. Il say that successful political
party's objective" said Mr.. Hays, '"is a
record of the faithful discharge of a
sacred contractual obligation to the speo-
ple.i. There is. but one kind of success
full politics and that is the politics Of
faithful, efficient and honest admins
tration."
The political party is an instrument.
But who makes the instrument and
with what material is it constructed?
There is much easy condemnation of
politicians and of practical politics, -
but who is to blame if these men and
these methods are often not what they
should be? Mr.. Hays told character
istic story of Roosevelt, who, when a
very young man, made ready to attend
a ward political meeting. Some of his
family objected, telling him he ought
not to mix with the class of people he
would meet there. "They are the gov
erning class" said Roosevelt, ..and you
are not, because they will and you
won't" Dishonest politicians and cor.
rupt politics would not exist if the peo-
pie did not permit them to exist. II

Questioning the Prices.

It is the opinion Of many business
men that great numbers Of people are
making purchases lavishly and not
questioning prices as they used to. One
man tells of family that never learn
ed to keep their house clean, yet who
all have fur coats, though they are in
door workers. ~
80 There are still great masses of peo-
pie that never had advances in income
comparableato the increased cost; of
living, and who consequently must
study economies more carefully than
ever before. But multitude have
Jared well in the economic upheaval,
and are spending money very freely.
This creates condition that tends
still further to promote "a high price
level. If the producing and distribut-
ing trades discover that people are
willing to pay any price, they quickly
conclude that they can safely stick on
a little more. If they find people
questioning price advances, they are
cautious and: inclined to keep old trade
In SO far as people are buying better
grades of textiles and other wearing
materials, they are making no mistake
But even here they need Ito study prices
and see whether they are paying a
fancy figure or not. There are always
bargains to be had. Those who keep
watch of newspaper advertising find
chances to buy first grade article at
the same price Which the seconds bring
regularly. !.3.s3 ..s3. .s..G5 z9.t: $$@1

find themselves suddenly with money in
their packet, can't, stand the glitter OF

brics. = .1's:
Lavish purchasing lifts the cost OF
living all along the line, and leads to
emphasis on production of costly arti:

living.
