''.lrr"VMJ?''ijJLJU5ng S We Two Pointers for the Farmer. In an irrigating country it is sometimes found necessary to take i!ovn a fence to avoid a ditch or lateral when driving to or frost a iield. If this road is only used n 'art of the year, or occasionally, it Joes not pay to construct a perma rent gate. A temporary gate, vhich will cost only a few cents, m be constructed in the following oanner Loosen the wires on three . r four posts, depending on the htness of the wires. Then drive vo staples about one-half inch part parallel to the wire and to :ch other where the staples were t jrmerly driven in the post. Place w spike at the bottom of each of the two center posts. The wire can 'hen be hooked under these spikes ud will be held close to the ground 3 it is easy to drive over. When 'ie fence is to be closed place the , ires between the parallel staples 'id then run a nail through both ntaples and outside of the wire. Fasten the wires to each post in this manner and your fence will be just is food as it would be if the wires vere stapled solid to the posts. This is a cheap and very satisfac tory way to construct a temporary gnte One very good way to clear land of sagebrush, provided jou do not ..ate to use the land for a year, is to sow rye among the brush in the fall. The fall and spring rains will cause the rye to grow. The rye will ripen in the following July. In August a fire will burn both the rye and sagebrush. If care is taken in sowing the rye so that the fire will carry well from brush to brush the ground will be left as clean as a swept floor. Twin Falls News. Prizes for Best Essays.
