specimens of the Morgan breed. This
fact was demonstrated when Trouba-
dour of WillOwmoOr, the premier stall
lion at the farm, won the Morgan stall

Scotland and McMahons dam, Beauty,
are both sired by General Gates, for
many years at the head Of the govern
ment farm stud. Mcmahon is a full
brother of Heather, winner Of the

Attaching the Wire After 1t Has Been
Stretched

found fences of split rails. with their
familiar weeds and berry bushes in
the angles, while still farther west,
where there was neither wood nor
stone are seen Usage orange and
other hedges. These are natural pro-
ductiOns of the time.
The farmer usually finds today that
barbed-wire or woven-wire fence will
best serve his ends for new construc-
ton, and at the same time cost least.
Barbed wire is used on large stock
ranges where the loss of one or two
animals through wire cutting is not
serious, but for the farmer with fine
horses, or a selected herd of cattle,
large mesh woven-wire fences are
coming more into use.
Ends and Corners.
The manner in which the fence Is
erected has much to do with its serv-
ice. The ends and corners are by far
the most important elements Of a
fence. 1t is essential that they remain
flrm and solid in order to hold the
renee rigid. The first thing to consider
is placing the corners. The posts used
should be large enough to give suffi-
cient strength they should be set deep
enough to prevent heaving by the ac-
ton of frost; they should be braced
from each direction of tension by q
stout rail about ~ feet long.
Metal and concrete posts are on the
market, but great many farmers cling
to wooden ones. The line posts should
be approximately inches in diameter.
various woods are used, including
Usage orange, locust, red cedar, null
berry and burr oak. They should be
thoroughly seasoned and the bark re-
moved, and to get the longest life
should be dipped in creosote at a tenn
perature of about 22O degrees, long
enough for the preservative to pene-

trate the WOOD. These posts are best
set in the spring after the frost is out
and when the ground is soft. On level
ground they may be driven with a
maui, but in depressions should be an
chored down by by cross pieces
spiked on the bottom of the post before
setting. The distance between posts
depends on the location of the fence
and the numbers and kinds of stock
TO be turned, the average in field fences
being about 20 feet.
To construct a WOven-Wire fence
properly it is necessary to have a
woven-wire stretcher, q single
wire stretcher to be used in at
taching the fence to the end posts.
pair of wire cutters, a barbed- wire
stretcher, splicing tool, and hammers
for stapling and fastening the wire.
Barbed and woven wire may be un-
rolled by attaching the reel to the
back Of a wagon or by running a bar
through the core and drawing it along
with a horse.
Stretching the Wire.
After the wire is unrolled it should
be drawn up to the line of posts and
freed from adhering trash. The
stretchers are then attached and the
line wires drawn until they are so taut
that they can just be pressed together.
Some slack may be allowed for uneven
ground. In fastening the wire on the
posts the line wire should be kept as
nearly horizontal as possible and al
lowed to follow small Irregularities in
the ground. The staples should per-
nit horizontal movement of the wire,
allowing the weight OF the fence to
come directly on the corner posts, thus
taking care of contraction and expan-
sion due to weather conditions. A
woven-wire fence is not complete with
out strand of barbed wire above it
this prevents the stock from reaching
over and crowding it down.

START GARDEN EARLY

An early beginning in prepar-

dens is of much Importance.
Regardless of the seasons it IS
well to get an early start. That
planting over" may sometimes
be necessary cannot be denied.
But little is lost when garden
land must be planted over, for
the labor necessary to prepare
the land is always well en-
ployed. Much is lost if early
maturing vegetables are plant

VISION APPEARS
IN STRIKE RANKS
HEADS OF SOME OF UNIONS
MAKING EFFORT TO PRE-
VENT MEN JOINING IN WALK
OUT-MEETING TO SETTLE
DETAILS.

Chicago, Oct. 17.-While heads
of the big four brotherhoods and of
the switchmen's union prepare to
meet in Cleveland tomorrow to COM
plete plans for the rail strike which
they have called for October 80,
union chiefs today said that leaders
of some of the eleven other railroad
labor organizations still were oppos-
ing a walkout and would attempt to
keep the men. from joining with five
organizations which have definitely
committed themselves to a strike.
What the opposition of these Lead
ers will result between the two
groups will not be fully settleds un-
til the meeting of the general chair
men of the eleven unions here this
week when issuance of a formal
strike call will be voted on formally.
Several railroad labor chieftains to-
day said, however, that they believed
the majority would rule and that it
would be a case of majority strike,
all strike" They professed to see
little chance of a break.
Leaders of these eleven unions at
meeting last week informally
pledged themselves to support the
brotherhoods, ,in a strike, and since
then have been going ahead with
their plans for walkout although
deferring issuance of the actual
strike call.
Heads of several of the eleven or
ganizations have announced that they
will order the walkout, while 9TH
ers were more conservative in their
statements. E. j. ,Manion, president
of the Order of Railway Telegraph
ers, in st. Louis, last night denied
the assertion of Thomas M. Pierson,
vice president, that it had been de-
cided to. call out the telegraphers,
saying the question would not be
settled until the meeting here. E. F.
Cradle, head of the 250,000 mainte-
nance of way employees, Timothy
Fealy, leader of the stationary fire
men, E. H. Fitzgerald, president of
the stenographers, clerks and freight
handlers union and others expressed
the opinion that virtually nothing
could avert the strike. '

SIMMONS CLOSES
HIS TESTIMONY
NOT BELIEVED THAT CON-
GRESS WILL CONDUCT FUR.
Their INVESTIGATION OF KU
KLUX-NO OTHER WITNESS
ES WILL BE CALLED.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE pro-
posed investigation of Ku Klux Klan
by congress blew up today.
After a ten minute session behind
closed doors, the house rules COM
mittee, which at morning and af-
ternoon sessions put William J. Sim
mons, the klan's Imperial wizard,
through a rigid examination, voted
Unanimously not to call any more
witnesses, certainly at this time.
Announcement of the committees
action was made by Chairman
Campbell, and while the chairman
and members refused later to make
any comment beyond the bare state
ment as to witnesses, it is expected
that an adverse report will be sub
nlitted to the house on a number of
resolutions providing for an investi-
CATION. Final action, however, will
not be taken until several absent
members return to Washington, but
the house members accepted it as set
tied that they were done with the Ku
Kux, unless the department of JUS
tice, conducting an inquiry of its
own, comes forward with unexpect-
ed evidence.
Still showing the effects of his ILL
ness, the imeprial wizards voice
weakened as he sat all day answer
ing a whirlwind of questions. AS on
previous days he entered a categori-
cad denial of charges of lawlessness
by the khan, and reiterated that the
total membership of the organiza-
tion was slightly under 100000.

HINES OPTIMISTIC
IN FACE Of ODDS
EXPRESSES OPINION THAT
RAILROAD MEN ARE SANE
ENOUGH TO FIND A SOLUTION
AND COPE WITH ANY SITUA-
TION.

New York, Oct. 17.-An optimistic
note as to railroad problems has been
sounded by Colonel Charles Hines
assistant to Edward ]. Pearson,
president of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad, in a
speech to 700 of the roads employ
ees.
Speaking last night at the annual
dinner of the Cable Club, most OF
the members of which belong to
brotherhoods which have threatened
to strike he said he was "an incor-
rigible> optimist" and expressed
the belief that the associations of
railroad men are sane enough to find
a solution and to cope with any prob
hms that may face them"
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE gov
ernment through its various depart
ments began today survey of the
situation as developed by the call of
railroad union leaders for a general
strike beginning October So.
officials from President Harding
down to department bureau chiefs
and secret service agents were known
to be watching the situation closely,
meanwhile hoping that some means
might be found for averting a paral-
ysis of the nations transportation
system. The whole range of posi-
bilities was regarded by officials as
50 nebulous at present as to make it
particable to await developments
before taking action.
Hope was expressed generally by
officials that the suggestion advanced
by the public group of the railroad
labor board here for conferences
with the interstate commerce COM
mission might be made the basis for
a solution of the problem. The pub
Tic group of the board proposed that
the railroads immediately put into
eff: freight reductions equivalent
to the wage decreases authorized by
the board last July, that the railroads
withdraw further requests for wage
reductions, and that the employees
rescind the strike order pending ac-
ton by the board on proposals of
the carriers for further pay cuts.
