 :.s.5a- eaa best be done on fiat platform made as nearly Water-tight aS possible By p.acng the boards close together. Be sure that you have sharp saEd because sand mixed with vege- fable natter will lot make good con- crete. Measure he sand and spread t in layer Of equal depth Place the cement on to9 Of the sand and Thoroughly mix saad and cement by turning ever with shovel or mixing be. mixing until the color is uniform Spread this mixture on the board. then spread the gravel on the top and con- taue mixing. When you have uni form mixture. add water and continue that until the desired consistency is secured. Add the water slowly while cutting. t over. as this will save losing cement. Do not slight the mixing, as CT the mixing largely depends the per maaeaf results.
 ft the concrete shows streaky or dry spots. il is not sufficiently well mixed, and must be turned again. After the final tuFf.ng. round up the pile and it is ready for placing. II you use sand and gravel mixed. it should be spread on q mixing board and thor oH2hiy vet and then spread the ce- ment on top and mix, adding such wa ter as $ necessary.
 The concrete mixture should contain fr har L. Ricely on shovel without running of much. Slight tanping to remove bub- bles, to i'll the holes and give a per fect ft is all that k necessary. A wet mixture is preferable for post setting.
 Concrete should not be exposed to the direct rays of the sun until it has had time 10 get hard. As soon as the concrete at the top Of the post hole is firm. II is good plan to cover with earth, green grass or something that will in q measure retain the moisture. If the concrete can be wet every day for week; il will be better for 1t. Do not let the concrete freeze If the weather is frosty. the earth taken from the hole should be shoveled back on top Of the concrete and left there Antil the concrete has set and all dan ger from freezing is past.
 fhe best mixture is one part cement, three parts sand and three parts gray el. 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.
 Fee concrete as soon as possible af- fer f is made If 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.

STEEL FENCE AND LIGHTNING.

National Cop Improvement Service
 In tie summer time when the thun. der eaps appear in the sky and the storm sweeps down en the farm. the farmer thinks less of his safety than he does of his live stock.
 When the stock is in the field during the storm. 1t may happen that the animals drift against the wire fence which may be heavily charged with electricity and are shocked to death.
 The ordinary fence built on wooden posts should he grounded every sixth post. To ground the fences means to twist piece of wire six or eight feet long around all of the line wires of the fence and then dig hole in the ground near the post and bury the other end of the wire. The hole should be dug deep enough so that the wire comes in contact with moist earth. A fence so grounded. offers no danger to live stock during the thunderstorm.
 The wire fence built on galvanized steel fence posts is already grounded at every post and no thunderstorm with it's discharge of lightning can injure the cattle inclosed by such fence.

 The drive for fences has heen ep- proved by the Retail Hardware and Implement association of Mississippi and local deulas in nearly all couH- fieS haze agreed to order carload lots af fencing during the weei. or the cam paicn at practically cost. Once fsne ing gets start the sale of wire will continue. The county agents and spe- cialiS5s Of the extension force wiil cauvass fine state early, in the interest et this drive.
 Three or four types of fence will be presented 10 people for their choice, which will n many cases be deter mined by the cost. From these types the fence needs Of every farmer in the state should be set and at figure most nearly to suit his finances. Types of post. such as creosoted. concrete and steel. will also be considered as agaiast plain posts which rot out in brief period Of years.
 We predict many hundreds of miles of fence as result of this drive.

GOSSIP AND CRITICISM ARE FOES TO RURAL
 PROGRESS

ALWAYS visit the sick, be solieitous in inquiring about them and let the family know they can depend on you for heip, if it is necessary.
 Encourga every good eaIse advocated in the neighborhood. not only by lending your pre- ence, but aid in promoting t n every way. Never discourage improvements; remember gossip and criticism are foes to pro. gress. Be soeiable, do not won der why other people are not
 7ore neighborly, but learn to converse on pleasant subject talk about everything interest ing except your neighbors. that is unless you have something complimentary to say aboae them.
 Encourage the rural school aim to make tae schoolhouse the center of the neighborhood. Last winter several spelling matches and plays were gi4s at our school houses, to raiss money for various things. These were not only a great success financially but the neighbors en- joyed these outings during tba winter months.
 Parents are anxious to see their children well educated and satisfied with rural life, so t $ to their benefit to cooperate with the teachers in making theH nighborhood a lire, progressive one.-The Progressive Farmer.

BURNING OUT WEEDS.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
 Dirty fence corners and fence lines are the spots from which weeds are distributed over the farm. Cleaning the corners by hand. pulling the weeds, takes care of the corners, but the ex- tenslve fence lines cannot be handled in this way
 Anyone who has tried cleaning fence lines erected on wooden posts, by burning, knows the danger and anxi. ety of the work. However, when the fence has steel posts, there is little danger in burning.
 To burn q fence line select day When the wind is blowing across the line. and fire the vegetation when dry, from the windward side
 If there is large accretion of dead vegetation along the line the fire will be very hot and may damage the wire, SD remove any brush heaps. etc, be- fore burning The burning of the ac- cnmulation of one years growth will not inflre the wire.

BURNING MONEY. Walt Mason Had Treasury Say ings Certificates In Mind
 When He Wrote This

Life is gay and blithe and sun ny since the peace dove hit the breeze; every one is burning money just as though it grew on trees. 1 insist on thrift and saving, but there's none to heed my words; JOhnnies say that I am raving, and throw money to the birds. Men are drawing princely wages, and their breasts are filled with mirth, and they jeer foreboding sages who pre- dict day of birth; but that day will come as surly as to-mor- rows sln will rise; things will then be going poorly with the giddy spend thrift guys. Things won't boom along forever as they'er booming now, my friends; and the man who's truly clever saves as ably as he spends. It is patent to the knowing, in expansive times like these, that the kopecks won't be growing always on the shrubs and trees. There will come a day of trouble, when this is left behind, and the kopeck and the ruble will be mighty hard to find; happy then the lads whose wages have been safely placed in brine, who obey ed the seers and sages, when the saving graft was fine. And how sick will be the n1ortals who like spend-thrifts now behave who reply with jeers and chort- les when we call on them to save.-WALT MASON.

cHAPLAINS TELL OF FRONT
Moral and Religious Situation There
Declared to Be Excellent, and
VIII Stay That Way.

Chaplalns Francis b. Doherty and
Lyman Rollins have just returned
from France on a military mission to
the United States.
Chaplain Doherty is attached to gen
eral headquarters In France, being as
ISOLATED with Bishop Charles II. Brent
and Chaplain Paul Dwight Moody (son
of the well-known evangelist of that
name) in the general headquarters
chaplains' office. The function of this
office is, declares the religious public
ity committee, the direction and dis
tribution Of chaplains' activities IN
France to the end Of the attainment OF
the best and special interests Of all
concerned, under General Pershing.
This work carries with 1t considerable
travel and gives an intimate knowledge
Of the situation from n religious and
moral point Of view.
From this broad knowledge Chap
lain Doherty says Everywhere we
find the same situation, here the same
story the condition and the spirit OF
the men are excellent" When leaving
France on his present mission the
chaplain asked General Pershlng
"Nay we not tell Il people in Amer
lea that the moral and religious situa-
ton here Is eminently high and very
satisfactory The reply was: Eyes,
and you may say furthermore, that II
is going to be kept up to that"
Chaplains Doherty and Rollins spoke
enthusiastically OF the altogether ad
mlrable spirit Of fraternity existing
between those who are mlnlstering 10
our soldiers. The Catholic chaplalns
they say are not merely looking Il
the good Of the Catholic boys nor this
Protestant to that Of the Protestant
boys; each is working for the best In
terest of every man.
