GATE THAT CARROT SAO.

A subscriber living in Weatflek
Chautauqua county, X. Y, wfca pre
fers that hie name should )ot he
used In print, sends to . the New
York Tribune a description af a gate
which he eonatsueted serarsvl years
ago on a farm where ha them lived.
Its great merit is that It never sags.
For gateposts he meed eight by
eight timbers, set fully U feet apart.
With the Idea, of letting a load of
hay through, the cap piece ought to
be fully 13 feet above tha ground,
and may be advantageously cut oat
of six by eight stuff. The posts
should be set In stone or cement, so
as to be proof against the actios of
the frost. A sill or threshold Is also
provided. This should measure six
by eight or eight by eight and con'
sist of oaksor chestnut. The better
the timber for the rest of this frame)
the lonjrer it will last. '
The full length upright of each
gate is mode by four by fonr hard
wood scantling. The upper ends are
rrmiuled, and Inserted in holes bored
DURABLE FARM GATE. '
in the lower side of (but not en
tirely through) the cop piece. The
pins of the lower ends should be of
metal. Pieces of sawmill plate, in
which holes hare been punched,
should be fastened to the sill for
these pins to play in. ' Thus the pins
will be kept from wearing the wood.
A similar plate should be l lnoed
where the gates meet, to accommo
date the vertical bolt on one of tiietu.
The other gate should have a latch.
The slats and braces may be made
from stuff IV Inches thick and four
inches wide. 1 hey are attached to
each other and to the uprights with
bolts. The short braces are on the
opposite side of the slats from the
long ones, so that the same bolt may
go through both where they over
lap. When finished, the frame ana
gates should be well painted. -;
It will be seen that these gates can
be used singly or together, and that
they -swing in either direction. It
is always a convenience to nave a
gate swing away from you, no mat
ter from which side you approacn.
THE AGE OF TOOLS.
Farmers Most Keep Pace with Mod
ern Proareaa or They 'Will Ia
evltablr Fall Bealad.
The tools snd machinery of Amer
ica are capturing the world. The ma
chine, with its unerring accuracy, has
taken the place of human hands in
every department of industry, and has
immensely increased the productive
capacity of the artisan. On the farm,
too, the same rule controls, i ne mod
ern binders have superseded the old,
slow methods of the harvest, and made
the great grain fields a possibility.
To the effective use of machinery on
the farm is due the great exporting
capacity of the country, and in every
avocation in life it is the man behind
the machine that is moving civilization
forward.
Brain power is taking the place of
human muscle, and the result is an
elevation of the farmer to a higher
plane, requiring the application of
business methods to agriculture. The
inevitable .tendency of the increased
use of mnchlnery on the farm is the
increase in acreage in the hands of
one man, since the machines make in
tensive culture possible over larger
areas. The more effective the ma
chines are made the wider scope they
will need, and great farms, conducted
on wise business methods, will become
more and more common as men realize
the possibilities of such culture. The
great accumulations of capital will not
always be kept out of the farm, for
the capitalists will come to see what
money will do in businesslike farm
ing. It is the age of tools and ma
chinery, and the farm must keep up
with i the procession. Practical

Preparing 8oll for Potatoes. '
Preparation of the land Is an es
sentia too often neglected. It has
been asserted that not infrequently
one-half of the potato crop Is lost by
means of insufficient preparation of
the soil. Of one of the noted potato
growers of Wisconsin it used to be
said: -"He works the ground so much
that the potatoes do not know in
which direction to grow to find the
surface. So they fill the soil full."
Bgraetlmes the best of potato grow
ers slight' the preparation of their
soil because of a rush of other farm
work at the time their potato land
is being prepared. No after cultiva
tion can atone for the neglect of
thorough preparation; for in no case
can the soil under the hills be af
fected by the cultivation given la
the rows. Farmers' Review.

peasants to free their fields of stones;
the property rises in value taxing

by the roadside are purchased by the
district road-repairing commission.
Poor men, who otherwise would have
to be supported in almshouses, are
hired to break these stones, and then
are trained to the work of repairing
the roadbeds. The money to pay the
men is made by auctioning off to
the highest bidder the crops of the
fruit trees that were planted on both
sides of the highway when it was built,
and which are nourished well by the
manure that falls along the road and
is pushed at intervals by a road tender
upon their roots. The purchaser of
the crop sees to it that his fruit is not

Amount of Seed to Sow.
The amount of grain to sow per
acre Is a question of considerable im
portance, (since the saving of half a
peck per acre is $13 to $20 on every
100 acres of wheat sown. It is not
well to skimp the seed, but too much
is as bad as too little; not only is it
a waste of seed, but the plants will
be too crowded to develop in the
highest degree. . The right amount of
seed, then, is the question, and yet to
say what will apply in every case is
not possible. By using averages, the
proper amount under average condi
tions may be stated, but what would
be ton little vin a dry summer would
be too much in a wet one. The im
plement used in sowing also has an
Influence on the amount of seed to
sow. It is generally conceded that it
is good practice to sow a peck less of
seed with a drill than with the broad
cast seeder. Midland Farmer.

Plenty of land in Illinois has reached

As western competition . becomes
more intense, western farmers and
the congressmen who represent them
