" 5 J3 Wcket Penes Device. A titipl effecUve plan for building picket and wire fence without ma chine Is uifgtHtHl by 0. 0. Schneider, of Ava, Mo. Il snys: A device which win answer the pur Im of a fence machine la mailt follows: Tske pieces of 2x4 a foot or o lung, lM.ro two small bolt near the nd of each, put the wires through thfaa holes and fasten to ot where you wish to begin. Then etreteh your wire and staple to post some distance bend, leaving the staple loose enough to tbo wire will Blip when It la drawn ttgbt lt fight or ten tot of wire eitend beyond tbo pout and to those fssten heavy welgbti to keep tbo Coat of fUlaga.

Grinding Corn far Bwlne. We believe in feeding ewine bo that tbey will have something to keep tbetn buay aa well aa for the beat reaulta to be obtained from the grain, eo we feed the corn whole and uaunlly on the cob until 4t gets hard and flinty, when It la either shelled and aoaked a little to often It or soaked on the cob. All other graltta are ground because It bna been demonstrated that the amaller grains go through the animals and do them but little good Carrying out the plan of keeping the awlne buay, we al ways have something for tbetn to chew on cornstalks, squares of Bod, apples, potatoes and other vegetables, nd we do not see that they take on fat any slower because of this plan of feeding. Pure water Is given them In clean troughs twice a duy during the winter and we know they thrive bet ter for having It Exchange. leading Corn Fodder. Loadlug corn fodder may not be very hard work to the small farmer, but when one bna Uto product of many acres to load It becomes a formidable operation. The work can be much more essllydme If the following de vice la tiKcd: Make ft loader by using two Inch plnnk ten feet long with cleats of inch stuff nailed on one side at short Intervals. At one end null a cleat on the under aide, which will be three Inches wider than the board on each side. Tie small rocB to this cleat nd with them tauten the rack to the back purt of the wagon rack, the lower end of the plunk-rack resting on the ground. This makes a atepladder up which It Is easy to walk and if strongly made a rnan cnu readily carry up It all be can get his arm around. With this plan one man can do the work of binding a wagon easily without spending the time neceHsnry to bind the bundles. Tho illustration shows bow easily tlio ladder can be uiade. Indluuupolis News. Ran Form by Electricity. The Fort Wayne and Wabash Valley Traction Line, operating eighty miles of lnterurban road in Indiana, has sent to farmers living along the line an offer to furnish power to run the ma chinery on tboir farms. Gasoline and team engines are used extensively, but corn shelling, feed cutting and otn er work is also done by bond, and the company proposes to furnish dynamos and build n line for a distance of one mile on each sldo of the track at cost If farmers will agree to pay a reason able sum for current. The farmers gen erally seem to favor the project T Cost of 200 tons sllagt . 1285 00 Cot per ton of silage 1 42 The average yield per acre In this Inatance was 13 5 tons of green corn. The cost of the ensilage, Including the raising, which was estimated at IS per acre, was a little high. Consulting the table, however, it will be seen that It required four teams hauling for five days top draw the com to tbo silo per day. This menus that the silage had to be drawn from some distance or more could have been hauled, but even at 11.50 per ton silage Is a very cheap food. : - . Fall Matching sf Tree. If It la thought necessary to apply mulch around the base of trees or shrubs aa a whiter protection care must be used not to do the work too soon, particularly If anything la the nature of a fertilizer is used, such as coarse stable manure, for there Is al ways danger of Inciting renewed growth In the tree, just as It Is begin ning to go to sleep for the winter, and this growth, being extremely tender, will be killed by the Unit cold weather, probably with much injury to the tree. A better plau is not to apply the mulch until the ground freezes, applying more, if necessary, later on. Ity far the beat plan of all la to use earth with which to protect the roots of the tree or shrub during the first cold days; put It on several inches thick for three feet around the tree, Later, If it gets too cold, a little coarse manure may be put on over the soil lly this plan the tree or shrub will have full protection without danger of Inciting a late growth.

Remove the top soil from a strip one yard wide and a foot deep; then spade the subsoil well ami spread plenty of manure over it; throw tbe top soil from the next row on the surface soil of the first and sow for seed until the whole plot has been trenched. It will produce heavy crops for several years. Plowing the Garden. . .. If the garden is thoroughly under drained, as It always should be, it should be fall plowed In ridges and the surface left rough, so as to expose the soil as much as possible to freezing. This la the more necessary because the garden Is always a sheltered spot where snow lies much of tbe winter, so that there are few times when the soil freezes very deeply. The garden Is always tbe richest spot on the farm. It often Is heavy with manure and needs tho winter's freezing to lighten the soil and make Its fertility more available. FITQ Permanently Cored.

One of the most exceptional of a the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever w pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured bv the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue ftes are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are knowri to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience thatit is a mostexcellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills.but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of Durchasers: those who are informed as to the quality1 of what thev huv and the reasonsfor the excellence of articles of exceptional rnerit. and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be, it said nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer l .fit . imitations or me Genuinef-Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its ' beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package.
