As every farm owes its future pros
perity to- the growing of live stock
and as crops must be rotated, some
system whereby a farm may be di-
vided by cattle and hOg-tight fences,
must be adopted.
Oftentimes the nature of the crop
and the number Of animals will be
out Of proportion If the fences are
made absolutely permanent. There
fore it is good farm practice to move
your fence to fit the ease.
A woven wire fence may be readily
detached from the posts and the posts
easily drawn Icy the use of a stump
puller or 2 well-pipe litter.

After digging the post holes, place
the posts in the center Of the holes
and hang the gate on the hinge hooks.
Latch the gate and set the post and
the gate in correct position as they
should be to work properly after the
concrete is in.
To hold the gate and posts In posi-
ton, use wooden braces on each side
and put a block under the latch end
of the gate to hold 1t up, then stretch
a wire between the tops Of the posts
to prevent spreading. Put a small
wedge in the latch so that it will work
easily, yet positively.

FENCE STAPLES.

National Crop Improvement Service.]
Fence staples are made either plain
or galvanized. AS there is SO little diff
ference in the price, galvanized staples
should always be used. The best
staple is an inch and q half long, II
to be used in soft woods. For hard
woods, a staple one and a quarter
inches long is serviceable.
Most men think that by driving the

Not so. my jovial farmer! Drive the
staple in solidly so that it will hold
in the wood, but allow for a little
play in the wire. This serveS a dOu-
BILE purpose. First. if there is a sud-
den shock ON the fence, the staples
will not pull out. Second, when driv-
en- in too far, the wood is bruised
making it soft and spOngy, In which
condition water gets in, r0ts the post
and rusts the staple.

SIZE OF WIRE.

The price Of the fence depends upon
the size Of the wire used so that when
one price seems to he cheaper than
another, look Mt the weight Of the
wire. Perhaps the best fence made
uses No. 8 gauge for all Of the. line
wires. Then other grades which use

HOME BUREAU NOTES.
Cora Ellen Devault,
Home Demonstration Agent.

1 1 ne VuphtlOn mas 50 frequently Uet1
asked the executive members of the
Home Bureau and their assistants,
'"What IL the work of the Home Blu
reau," that we think II necessary to
make a brief explanation Of its duties.
In last weeks paper was an article
explaining that the county must pay
the expenses Of the office, thus the
necessity for raising money by the
membership subscription. The State
pays the salary Of the Home Demon
stration Agent, but will pay no more
than that. II your county does not
get this money from the state others
do.
The Home Bureau in the county is
merely an extension division Of the
Agricultural and Home Economics
department Of the Extension Service
Of the State University. and United
States Department of Agriculture.
However, each year certain lines
Of work are stressed. This year in
Holt county, food, clothing, millinery.
poultry, home nursing, child welfare,
school lunches, civic improvement,
home conveniences, and household
decoration are to be developed.
Under food, comes the canning OF
meats. vegetables, and fruits. making
of cheese, planning menus and balanc.
ed meals, cooking with pressure, fire
less. and steam cookers, baking, the
cooking of meats, vegetables, etc.
ANY community wishing 10 take a
course in cooking can have a very
practical and concentrated course in
five 20 ten lessons depending upon the
desires of the women,
In Clothing; cutting. fitting and
making of garments Is given. The
making Of a dress form is also in
cluded and the making over of dresses.
Simple trimming stitches are taught,
The Home Demonstration Agent has
two groups Of these stitches always
in the field. They are loaned to any
woman who wants them.
Millinery consists OF rctouching old
hats and the choosing Of new ones.
Color, trimmings and shape, accord
iny 10 the tyne of the wcarer are
discussed.
Poultry has been the subject of a
great deal of interest during the past
year and because Of the investment
and money returns has had more
notoriety thus giving many people
the idea that Il is the only work of
the Home Bureau.
