and Mrs. John H. Lyons were
the star attractions at the
party. DR.. Lyons, one of the
consulting physicians called in
on the Presidents illness, was
asked about the Presidents
convalescent period. Six weeks
was the general period, he
said, emphasizing that by con-
valescence he didn't mean total
disability.
Tom Blake recalled that he
was out and about in five days
after he was operated on for
ileitis some years ago. Twelve
days afterwards he was bath
ing in the ocean.
The Jimmy Nolans, Mrs.
Demarest Lloyd, Eva Hinton,

hair, particularly during the dry sea-
sons.
We install the fences with the inten-
ton of keeping the wire tight. We fence
either in straight lines with rigid cor
ners, or with enough posts in the curved
fences to prevent the wire from becom-
ing loose and sagging. If the wire is
allowed to sag it becomes low enough
to tempt the COW to jump over, or the
cow is able to work the wire over her
back without the barb making contact.
A well constructed straight fence may
go three or four years without needing
to be restretched. The curved fences
need more attention. They are re-
stretched every year until the posts are
driven in far enough, or enough posts
are added to hold the wire tight.
Fence Repair
Electric fence repair is so simple
that little needs to be said about it. Re-
mailing insulators pulled out by settling
snow drifts, restricting, changing rot
ted posts-that is about all there is to
it. We go over the fence before turning
in the first time in the season. We like
a truck for this operation, since extra
posts and fencing equipment can be
carried. 1--WE generally put out salt for
the cattle, also, when we 60 over the
fence)
AS we increased the amount of cleo
trio fence toward so miles, we were
afraid that so much fence would b.
an enormous job to keep up. We've
found now, that we have less mainte
nance all the time. Since much of tn,
job of electric fencing is just travelling
we have found that doing a good jOI
while we are at it eliminates mucl
going back. If the fence is well cor
structed from the start, all we have +
do the following years is to give it
quick look-over from a distance with
pair Of field glasses to see that it

spots, we frequently put on two wires
for the span of rod or less. If the
ground is Doggy, it is necessary to have
q wire low enough that the cows sinking
in the mud foot, won't be able to
walk under it without touching it.
Materials
We use 16 penny duplex head nails
with leather washers, to hold the in
sulatorS to the wooden posts We find
the double head a must, since we fire..
quently change the height of the in
sulator as we drive the posts in deeper.
The double head is also handy for
removing the insulators when we re-
place posts.
We've tried different porcelain in
Sulators and prefer the standard in
sulator with the single groove and
heavy porcelain. It's hard to keep the
wire on insulators with poorly shaped
grooves. Insulators made of light porce-
lain break easily.
In driving in the inSulators we square
the nail so that the final blow of the
hammer brings the insulator flush with
the post If one side of the insulatOr
isn't tight against the post, it allows a
lever action and the nail doesn't hold
as well. On curved fences, we nail the
insulator so that the wire pulls them
into the posts. The nails are likely to
pull out if the wire pulls the insulators
away from the posts.
Wire
For wire, we prefer the light 14-gauge
galvanized barbed wire. Twelve gauge
wire is satisfactory, but it is more
expensive, more difficult to handle anC
the barbs aren't as sharp as on the
IA gauge. We have never tried smooth
wire. Some use smooth wire for rOta
tiOnal pastures with milk cows, and i
would undoubtedly work with some 0

but the newer ones have a cement-like
surface. Some of the cement surfaces
are pebbleized by forcing small rocks
into the cement while it is still moist.
Even with the thick walls, occasionally
moisture comes through, leaving damp
spots on the walls and ceiling.
AS there is no central heating, nearly
every room has small fireplace. Only
in homes near the turf boys is turf
used as fuel. Coal is the general source
of heat. Cooking is done either on
small electric stove or a cooker which
also heats the water. One of my homes
had an open hearth which was used
for cooking and heating. This is true
in most of the old matched cottages.

The housewife has many chances to
do her shopping at her own door. Vans
carrying bread, meat and general gro
cerieS have a route and will call in two
or three times a week, if the home
maker asks. The mail is also brought
to the door by the postman who comes
either by van or bicycle.
The number of times the Irish sit
down to eat adds up quickly. Dinner
at noon is the largest meal which is
centered around potatoes. Meat. an
other vegetable, a pudding with sauce
and tea and biscuits would complete
this meal. Tea is served three times a
day and if visitors drop in, tea is served
again. Cake or biscuits are served
with the tea. Very strong coffee is
served in some homes. In addition to

becoming very popular. This makes
it possible to make hay come rain or
shine. The silO must have a roof for
protection and further sealing comes
with lime surface. Most farmers plan
to have their Silo a Self-feeding place.
The cereal crops for the largest part
are bound but in some areas they are
combined. When grain is cut with a
binder, the sheaves are put into
''stooks'' (shocks) then into huts and
finally into stacks, all for the purpose
of drying. The threshing machine is
fed from the stacks and the straw is
baled as it comes out. The average
yield of wheat and barley is Sc bushels
to the acre.
The combines are somewhat different
in that the grain doesn't go into a bin,
but into large sacks which hold a bar
rel, or four bushels, of barley. There
are two spouts for the grain, one for
damaged kernels and a fourth for weed
seed. These sacks are tended by a
second man who slides them off the
machine when they are full. The straw
is put down in neat row behind the
combine for binding.
Potato Harvest
The potato harvest is left until all
Of the other crops are in. They are
usually planted in March and are ready
for use early, but the tops are sprayed
with salt solution to stop the growth.
This spraying doesn't hurt the spud.
During the harvest the price paid is
$36 a ton for the average variety, but
if held for spring, $54 a ton is paid. The
potatoes are kept through the winter in
pits which are covered with straw and
clay.
The homes are very well built of

HELLO TO THE readers of the Mon
tana Farmer-Stockman and greetings
from the Emerald Isle, my home for
the last four months. Ireland is a coun-
try One-fifth the size of Montana, but
it has four times as many people in
that area. The population of Belfast
or Dublin would be the same as that
of our whole state.
Ireland is an agricultural country.
The main crops in order of Importance
are oats, wheat, potatoes and rotation
grasses. There are areas where barley,
turnips, sugar beets, cabbage and flax
are grown, but these aren't so general
a crop. Despite the fact that Ireland
is known for its Irish Linen, most of
the flax is imported from Belgium.
Mixed farming is the rule, the en-
phasis being on livestock and livestock
products. The average size farm is 40
acres and is farmed by the owner.
Much work has been done to reclaim
waste or under-productive land. I'm
provements are government supported
and include intensive field drainage,
the removal of scrub and boulders and
the reclamation of marsh land. Plans
for refOrestation at a rate of I'D to
$4,000 acres year have been put into
effect.
SO Inches Rainfall
The average rainfall is SO inches a
year. This large amount calls for
much drainage and no irrigation. Look
ing at hillside, one sees the fields
surrounded by hedges which mark
bitches for draining. The slipping fields
have self-drainage but the more level
ones have pipe laid two or three feet
deep which leads into a larger one at
the foot of the field
The rainfall this summer broke The
record fall of 1929 and measured seven
inches for the month of August. All OF
this rain has set harvesting and other
field work behind. The crops on the
land that has recently been drained
may be loss because of the excess
moisture.
Hay is the first crop to come off.
Few farmers bale the hay, as it can
only be preserved if it is cut one day.
turned the next and baled the next.
Three-fourths of the hay is cut and put
into small stacks to dry, then put into
ricks for further drying and in the fall
BROUGHT into the farm yard. Some of
the farmers are baling from the ricks
and then putting the hay under cover.
Trench SiIO
AS it is hard to find many days free
of some moisture, the trench silo is

Davy Crockett seems to be a favorite
in all corners of the world. The boys
haven't started Skinning their kittens
but the mothers old furs make fine
caps.
Children start school after their fifth
birthday and advance through series
Of tests. They may quit after the junior
test, age IA, or continue for the senior
certificate. In the Republic of ireland,
the child is required TO learn Irish or
pay fine. To get some jobs, test
on Irish must be passed even though it
perhaps won't ever be used.
Holiday Fun
Ireland is 300 miles long and $50
miles wide, therefore, no matter where
you live, it is only rs miles to the sea.
Each locality has its favorite seaside
town where the people spend their
holidays. Other events which draw at
tentiOn are the horse shows, carnivalS,
firework displays, the cinema and To-
cal dances. The tunes played at one of
these dances are familiar, popular
songs, but the step is bit quicker.
The true Irish jigs have faded and only
the older people know them.
The export of linen is one of Ire
lands most valuable dollar earners.
Old, established industries include ship
building, rope making, textiles, shirt
making, general engineering and to-
bacco manufacture. Many American
cars are seen with righthand drives.
The parts have been imported and put
together here.
Pottery factories and shops where
the tweedS are woven are tourist at
fractions. The hand-woven material is
only % inches wide, but the feeling is
that the beauty of the tweed is lost
when it is done by machine which would
make it wider. Not all of the tweed is
hand-woven. TweedS are worn year
around by the men. The fabric is very
warm and will withstand lots of hard
wear.
Peat Production
Noted for its linen and thatch cot
tageS, Ireland is also known for its
peat, or turf boys. There is some ex-
port for use in hen houses and gardens.
The farmer who owns turf land, digs
it in late May or early June. The job
is time-consuming for two people, as
one man stands in the bottom and
losses the bricks up and the other man
cuts them with slane. The slane is
like 5-inch spade with 4-inch arm on
the left side.
The bricks are laid to dry on one
side, then turned to dry on the other
side. This takes about three weeks.
Then the bricks are grouped into foot
ings" where four are placed on end,
teepee style, with two bricks laid flat
on top. Further drying takes place in
this stage, after which it is taken to
the roadside where it can be picked up
and taken to the farm for storing.
There are three qualities of turf. The
first layer is light brown and is very
poor, as it is mostly ash The bottom
layer is black, very TIGHTLY packed and
holds heat for long time.
My experiences in Ireland have been
