A Durable Gate.
the open fork is made round so it will
fit the post.
A number of holes bored through
the top of a post, one under the oth-
er, through any one of which a bolt
may be placed. This bolt, C, holds
the upper hinge in place. By setting
it up or down in the row of holes,
the gate may be made to swing high
or low, as desired. When there is a
heavy snow, the bolt can be placed in
the top hole, and the gate will swing
over the drift. If it is desired to
raise the gate so hogs and sheep
can pass under while large animals
are restrained, the bolt can be set
any height desired to make the pass-
ageway under the gate large enough
to permit ingress or egress of the
smaller animals.

struction.

A Matter of much importance, botii
as regards saving moisture and pro-1
venting root injuries, is the depth of j
surface tillage. Too shallow cultiva- j
tio.
evaporation
the soil should not be stirred so deep
that the top roots are cut. If this Is
done the growth is at once checked,
and the roots are forced lower in
search of supplies. From two to three
inches have been found the best depth
for flat cultivation, where the ground
has been thoroughly prepared. When
a seed bed has been thoroughly fined,
proper handling will bring the corn
crop along, with the minimum amount
of rainfall. The problem, says In-
diana Farmer, is to maintain good
capillary action between the lower
water systems and the soil where the
roots are growing. When the water
moves upwards and strikes the dust
blanket it is cheeked, and it must pass
out through the plant, rather than by
evaporation. It is a pretty nice prob-
lem, but the aim should be to make
all water and fertilising material pass

It was Keyser who was telling me
about it. He satd:
“You know we’ve just had the
awfulest excitement over at Pencader
About two months ago we nominated
Bill Slocum for mayor. Ho was the
most popular man in the place.
Everybody liked him. And a few days
after the convention adjourned Bill
was standing talking to Joe Snowden
about the election, and Bill happened
to remark T’ve got to win.’ Mrs.
Martin was going by at the time, and
as Bill was speaking pretty rapid, he
pronounced it like this: ‘I’ve got t'
win,’ and Mrs. Martin thought he was
telling Snowden that he'd got twins,
for she knew Mrs. Slocum was ex-
pecting an event of that kind in her
family pretty soon, anyway. And
Mrs. Martin, just like all women about
such matters, she at once went
a-booming through that village,
spreading the report that Mrs. Sio-
I cum had twins.
“So, of course, there wns a terrific
i fuss right off; and the boys, they set
j it up that as Bill was a candidate for
j mayor, and a thunderin’ good fellow
j anyhow you took him, it’d be notli-
I ing more than fair to congratulate
him on his good luck by getting up
some kind of a public demonstration
from his fellow citizens. Well, sir,
you never saw such enthusiasm. The
way that idea took was wonderful;
I and all hands agreed that we ought to
have a parade. So they run up the
| Hags on the hotel, and the town hull.
and on the two schooners down at
j the wharf, and Judge Pollock ad-
journed the court till the next day,
and the supervisors they gave the
public schools a holiday, and got up
a turkey dinner for the convicts in
the jail.
"And some of the fellows drummed
up the brass hand, and it led off, with
Maj. Bangs following, carrying an
American flag hung with roses. Then
came the clergy in carriages, followed
by the Masons and Odd Fellows and
Knights of Pythias. And the Young
Men’s Christian association turned,
out, with the Suns of Temperance
about 40 strong, in full regalia. And
Gen. Thomas pranced along on a
white horse ahead of the Pencader
guards. After them came the Judges
on foot, followed by the city council
and the employes of the gas works,
and the members of the Bible society
and Patriotic Sons of America. Then
came citizens walking two and two
abreast, while a big crowd of men and
boys brought up the rear.
"The band, mind you, all this time
just smashing out the most gorgeous
music—’Star Spangled Banner,’ Lift
on the Ocean Wave,’ ‘Beautiful
Dreamer,’ ‘Home Again,’ and all those
things, with cymbals and Jenkinses
nigger spreading himself on the big I
drum. Perfectly splendid! And Bill
you know, he never knew anything
about it. It was a perfect surprise j
to him. And when the procession j
hauled up in 'front of his house they
gave him three cheers, and he came ;
rushing out on to the porch to see
what in the thunder ail this hullalia
loo was about. As soon as he ap
I peared the band struck up ‘See, the
Conquering Hero Comes.’ t
