I wonder how many of them realize that the farm is a many-sided affair and that few men are able to surround them all? — A friend of mine told me of the wonderful success hé is now having witha dairy farm. He says he is now making a nice profit|} every year, while in previous years, as a crop raiser and beef cattle pro- ducer, he seldom made as much as his hired man did. A young man in my neighborhood has been raising corn, and corn alone, for several years, and getting ahead at it, too. But last year he found that his yield was considerably less than that of another neighbor who kept a goodly number of cattle. Now he is buying a few good cows, and will try the plan of selling less corn and keep- ing the fertility of the farm up. It is wonderful what a little care willdo. A farmer gave two mother- less little pigs, with which he did not care to fuss, to a little girl. After feeding the young porkers for two weeks on exclusive bread and milk diet, the girl tided them safely over the critical period. She kept a care- ful account of all the food used until they were sold, for forty dollars, and found that even if she would have had to settle with her father for the grunt- ers’ board bill, she would have been a neat little sum to the good. They were the fattest Milian left the farm that year. A neighbor of mine oe good-sized bank account.

It was of concrete, very large, |and slanting from a narrow top to five | or six feet wide at its base on each side. It was apparently deeply set. A corner post of this sort is quite ex- pensive, but it would seem to be eco- nomical in view of its future saving of time and material. As yet I am alittle shy in confidence in concrete posts for ordinary field fences. They make a handsome ap- | pearance when first set, but some ‘lines of fence I have seen failed to |stay that way. In some lines of fence examined quite a large portion of the posts seemed to have cracked just above the ground. The reenforce- ment held them upright, but their wabbly condition did not encourage a belief in security. A neighbor who tried a few as an experiment com- plained that they seemed to rot or scale off just above the ground. The successful concrete fence post is sure to come, but as yet it would seem that the problem has not been solved generally. The greater relative im- portance of the uses of concrete in | other construction work has occupied the minds of those who are engaged |in its development. The horse buyer says the prices of horses will now be getting stronger. They have been rather lower during the fall and winter.
