e *=» U »•"•% « O o •Al —3“ Garden GATE FOR THE SNOWDRIFT Simpla Plan For Op«n Way In and Out. There is no snow cleaning tn the country. The farmer breaks his way through the drifts with difficulty. There is more play for the winds in the country than there is in tbe city, and when the snow accompanies the wind the drifts impede travel and clog the ways about the farm. The gateway must be kept clear because that Is the way in as well as the way out. Unless the gate is constructed in a manner that will readily yield to the Impediments it is alx.ut as good as no gate. In the plan suggested herewith is a partial solution of the difficulty which so often confronts the farmer at this season of the year. Two cuts are pictured. They show a gate which can be readily adjusted in case of snowdrifts. It is easily made from ordinary lumber. A 1 by 0 upright is used for the two lower boards, 1 by 4 for the upper ones. The uprights at the hinge post are double 1 by 4, one piece out side and the other Inside the bars. Tiie upright at the latch side may be the same weight of stuff or slightly light er and fastened in the same way. In stead of nailing the bars to these up rights. bolts are used, one for each bar at each end. The lowest board is notched, as shown, and the double brace used from the top of the latch post to the bottom of the hinge post. For the braces 1 by 3 stuff is strong enough. These may be held In place at the top by a single bolt. They are joiner! near the bottom with a bolt which engages witli the notches when the gate is raised, as shown in the cut. Tuberculosis In Animal«. The international congress <>n tuber culosis which recently met. in Wash ington, as a whole, dealt especially with human tuberculosis, but consid erable attention was directed to tuber culosis In domestic animals and nota bly to questions dealing with the milk and meat supply and with the Inspec tion of these products. One of the seven sections Into which the con gress was divided devoted itself espe cially to these topics, and the genera) addresses before the congress, as a whole. Included a lecture by Profess or Barnard Bang of Copenhagen on “Studies In Tuberculosis In Domestic Animals and What We May Ix*nrn Regarding Human Tuberculosis.” An extended discussion followed the re affirmation by Professor Dr. Robert Koch of Berlin of his theory as to the nonldentlty and nontransmlsslbllity of human and bovine tuberculosis, after which a resolution was unanimously adopted recommending "that preven tive measures be contlnut'd against bovine tuberculosis and that the pos sibility of the propagation of this to man be recognized.” The very extensive exhibits from the various countries in America and Europe attracted much attention nnd presented a vast amount of illustra tive material of rare educational val ue. Phases dealing especially with the prevention and treatment of the dis ease In its early stages predominated, there being a great variety of models of aanltorla and special appliance*. Jam«« J. Hill’« Ide« of ■ Farm, There will is» much discussion of farming for the next few months from many angles, one among them being tbe moat useful size of fnrms. We do not wish to Is» one skied and shall al ways state fairly the large farm or combination arguments, but ft seems to us that farming in fhis respect is , tbe exception among businesses. Econ omy in the cost of supervision is the only reason for the expansion of the unit in any business, and land Is more productive under the small farm sys tem. Even if larger farm units are possible they are not desirable. We do not want the European regime of an overlord with tenant farmers. We want the greatest number of inde pendent little farmers, who hardly need even one farm hand. Janies J. HUI has more sense than nearly all of tbe professors, and be delivered an opinion two years ago to the effect that tbe individual farmer must bava fewer acraa tad mor« boa*.
