A convenient device for holding barb ed wire when making a fence is de- 1IAB1IED WIHB CARHIER. scribed by a writer In Farm nnd Home. The following;, together with the illus tration, explains It: Having much wire to stretch, I ar ranged a sled, ns shown In the cut, for holding a spool of wire while trie same was unrolled along the line of fence. The runners (A) should ie two by six or eight .inches and six to eight feet long. The upright post (B) should be of the same dimensions two nnd one half feet high. The braces (C) may be of one by four Inch stuff. Bore holes at top of (B) In which to Insert the Iron bar (D), as shown, for holding spool to be unwound. By fastening the end of wire to post and driving off along line of fence, wire Is easily laid rendy for stretching. Care of Beea. Modern Uvea with good brood cham bers equal to the laying capacity of the queen are considered best for win tering; the stores re usually sufficient When nil brooding Is over for the sea son the central combs are often defi cient in stores. Here n good, practical feeder comes into requisition, one that can be used during the cold nights of October and that will work success fully with thick sirup. Nothing Is gain ed by compelling the bees to evaporate n larg mnannt of water so lute in the reason. For late feeding use about one iiuart of wuter to every fourteen pounds of the best granulated sugar. When early feeding Is practiced thin sirup may be used, but for late feeding we need the sirup very thick, just thin enough so the bees can work it nicely. American Agriculturist. Age of Cement Posts. Where live stock has access to the fence we would not advise putting ' them In too axon after they nre made. Tbe man wbo makes his own posts need have little fear if be puts thern In J the ground when they are a month or ; six weeks old. A line post four inches square at the bottom and three inches ' at the top Is considered plenty strong enough for all practical purposes, pro vided It Is properly strengthened by the use of an Iron rod or wire. For corner posts of course much more ma terial must be used. Iowa Homestead. The SbylniT Horse. Bhylng Is a dangerous hnbit.

To lash a horse Localise it shies or Is frightened only aggravates the evil. The punishment is associiited with the frightful object, and the horse'" will fear it more und more each time the object is encountered, and there fore this Is the worst way shying can be treated. Denver Field and Farm. NEGLECTED LANDS. Method of Clearing; Them 1'sed In ' Connecticut. Professor Jarvis of the Connecticut experiment station presents in the New England Homestead a desirable way to clear hinds: Iu few sections of the country do we find such rapid transportation after neglect as In New England. It is not nn uncommon occurrence while walk ing through a forest to find at regular distances apple trees, which a few years ago formed our coiiiinerclul or chards. There is uo magic method whereby this growth of brush may be subdued aud the luud brought into workable condition. Two courses may be follow eda long one extending over three or four years nnd the other a shorter one requiring only one or two years. The former consists in cutting the bush and keeping the laud mowed oil' or pastured. By preventing the growth of foliage. In this way for about tWree years, and thus starving the roots, the land should be under control. The second aud more desirable meth od consists In the use of the plow and harrow nnd the sowing of some crops which will quickly take possession of the? land. The common practice Is to cut tbe brush in the full or winter and In early spring get In with the plow and follow with the disk harrow. I would suggest that the brush be cut as soon ns possible, for the longer the delay the more difficult will be the undertaking. If the owner of the land wishes to get possession as soon as possible, it would be well to get In with the plow this fall nnd follow with the cutaway harrow In the spring. If pas ture Is desired it would lie well to sow rye nnd seed down. In Connecti cut a grent deal of such land is being used for orchard purposes. The trees are set out ns soon as bush is cut. The subjugating process is essentially the snme except that It Is done in the young orchard. The trees have the benefit of tiie cultivation and are one year further advanced thuu if plant ing were, delayed until the laud is cleared of roots. IN THE PIGGERY. Movnhle Partitions Tlint Protect Feodin.T Trour.l:?!. An authority on such matters Is quot ed by an exchange as follows In giv ing n plan for swinging partitions In tbe pea: "This is no new invention, for the device, with ninny modifications, is used in numerous farmers' piggeries. The only wonder Is that It is not more universally used. The top of this swinging partition consists of a two by four from which tbe three foot par tition made of inch boards swing by hinges. This partition Is held In place at all times by a hulf inch iron rod which slips up nnd. down in staples, being received nt the bottom In holes bored in a hardwood cleat nailed across the center of the trough. This fasten ing prevents the pigs from moving the partition nt any time. If the pens are over ten feet in width the swinging partitions are too cumbersome to work well. They should not be made to swing Into the pen past the edge of the trough when fastened, or the pigs will soon gnuw the edge of the bottom board off. These partitions are made to swing back until they stand straight up overhead, resting at the ends be- MOVABLE PARTITIONS. tween the posts. This permits pigs to be driven out or In or the cleaning of the pens from tha alley. In this ense doors connecting the nlley nnd pens were purposely omitted. The troughs were made of two Inch hemlock, con structed in a V shape, one side being two by ten inch material and the other side nnd ends two by eight. These tror.g'i are simply toe nailed In be tween t!u division posts, so that they can be removed easily and replaced when necessary. We like the V shaped troughs in preference to any flat bot tomed sort In the piggery, because the pigs can clean them more readily and thoroughly, nud there Is practically no contact nt the floor except for the short end pieces. A.i a result filth nnd mois ture do not accumulate beneath them. On the underside of the V shaped trough next the alley the floor Is al ways dry, and on tbe pen side It can be cleaned thoroughly and Is always exposed to the air." A Storage Pit. In regard to storing apples when space Is scarce American Cultivator says: Apples may be stored, like roots, In a pit, covering them with straw at first and afterward with earth when colder weather requires it The bottom of tbe pit should be covered , with boards or straw to keep the apples from touching the earth, which is apt to give them an earthy tuste. This method Is only advised as a makeshift in case no room can be found to store the apples more conveniently. Making a pit for storing produce is a simple matter, and yet roots stored thus are often lost by carelessness In put ting tiiem In too deeply, so thut they heat, grow aud rot. The pit for pota toes, beets and carrots should not, be piled over two feet deep with roots, nnd for turnips and horseradish it Is best not to have them over n foot deep. Cover lightly at first and Increase the covering us cold weather conies on, bearing in mind that there is tuore danger from heat than from frost. Veg etables well stored In a pit come out very fresh nnd nice In the spring. THE GRANGE Conducted by 3. W. DARROW. Chs.ham. N. Y Press Correspondent jVcu York State Orangt NATIONAL GIIANGE. PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM OF VOTING. State Mnster Keg-ley of Wuahlngton. Will Present the Question of Popnlar Representation at National Grange Meeting In Denver. In his annual, address before the Washington state grange Worthy Mus ter C. B. Kegley spoke as follows con cerning the voting system of the nn tlounl grange: The national grange is doing- good work, but I nr.i convinced Its usefulnejs Is some what mnrred by the present meth od of votlnj. which gives to the delegates of the weak slate of only a fuw hundred member ship eiuu! voting power, and there fore coatrol, with the delegates from the states h o s u member ship is counted by the len.i and even hundreds of thou sands. Thus the principle of popu I a r representa tion, which Is, or should be, one of the fllrHainnntal KECJLEY. p-inr'rtfes on which our Order ia founded, ia violated. I was strikingly impressed with the wiT.:i3fi;lnc?s of the present method cf voting In the nr.tlrrml grange when the Uin.-ct legislation resolutions were defeat ed, u:tho-slt tha votis cant fur It repre sented n large majority of ti:e member ship of the Order. The voting delegates of the nutlon.tl grange are composed of the state masters and their wives. r hus bands, thus gfvlng two votes to each state. Any state having fifteen subordi nate granges of an a vera to .r.;bc;-.i;-.ip ct twenty members Is entitled to repre sentation in the nntlonal prnii.re and to ;.avo the expense? cf Its d'iesutes paid c::t cf the nall.-nai treasury. i no expenses of the national grange are borne, of coarse, by the different states in diveot proportion to their membership. Thus It Is that the states of lnre-e mem- b.rshlp not only pay the expanses of their ov.-n V. ie-ates, but the mnj.r portion of the errnnses of the delegates i.f th f-r state?. Yet the represe ntatives of ti states of numerous member.-. li.p, whose influence la all powerful In securing lc-islniion, have no more Influence In determining what t ie legislation shall be than those of the weakest states. That Is to say, under the present system the will of the great ma jority of our Order can be, and often Is, defeated by the votes of delegates who often are indifferent to the real Interests of the Order and who seem to take no In terest in building up the Order In their state and who represent states In which the grango Is in a ennnunt condition. I believe this evil could be remedied by giving to each stntn master. In addition to his state vote, a popuh r tot.' ba.ied on one vote for each 1.030 of membership. , This, for example, would give New York slate, with its 80,000 membership, eighty-two votes as against two votes for any stale having a, membership of only a few hun dred. The power of a state in the na tional grange would thus be made directly proportional to the strength of the Order in each, and this is simply justice and as it should be; I am convinced also that this method of voting would act as a stimulus on every state master to extra effort in building up the Order in his own state, as that would be on absolutely necessary preliminary to increasing his Influence In the national grange. I intend nt the next annt'.al session of the national grango to try to secure this Important amendment and hope that my proposed action will receive your unan imous Indorsement and support. The proposition has Its advantages and disadvantages. Mr. Kegley does not say whether voting In accordance Willi membership should be the vote on ail questions and propositions thnt come before the grunge or whether certain questions should be adjudicat ed by the state vote und others by the popular vote, as we may term It. It Is difficult ti understand how there can be two systems of representation In force in the same body, for Mr. Kegley says that the popular vote Is to be In addition to the state vote. There does seem to be Justice In the proioailion that the vote of the dele gate should be representative of the members of the Order rather than of the Btate. Surely New York, with ul most 80,000 members, should have greater voting power In the national grange than Minnesota, with only 2,000 or 3,000. Grange legislation affect ing suliordiniite granges might be enacted or defeated by the two votes of the smaller grange rtate. which legislation would affect one way or the other thousands of members in the larger grange states. The question which the nntlonal grange will have to determine is simply this. Does the highest Interest of the Order require state representation or popular repre sentation In the national grange? Orange Dlseneaee Vital Questions. One of the hopeful things for the fu ture, of the nation Is the great organisa tion which the farmers of the country nre . centralizing around the grange. Within recent years there has been a marvelous growth extending to nearly every state and territory In the Union, so that when It holds its uutiouul con vention the attention of the whole country Is attracted to Its action. It has taken hold of all the vital questions before the country, and the discussion and action that nre brought to bear upon them will exert a mighty Influ ence. A mesbury (Mass.) News.

Siate Highway Commissioner Bargeni ..t Maine is the Intelligent tes timony ol a farmer on the iidvautuge of good mads, aud based upon fucts Instead of the. r'es, gays Good Hoads Magazine. And while local conditions vary, the- principle involved that Is, the economy of easy transportation Is applicable everywhere: "I live upon the line of an Improved road leading from Philadelphia to New Y'ork, ten miles from the former place, and before the roud was Improved twenty-five baskets of promiscuous farm produce would make a big two horse roud. After the roud was im proved the average load hns not been less than 100 baskets, some farmers taking as many as 150 baskets to a load, but this Inst number Is exception al; nlso before improvement It would take a team all day to make the round trip of about twenty-three miles to the heart of the city; since Improvement It requires on overage of about seven hours. Now, assuming that a team nu l driver would be worth $4 per day, the regular price here, it would cost 10 ce.nts per basket for a farmer to land his produce In the market In the first case und but 4 cents per basket In the latter, allowing the seven hours to make a day. "It must lie evident to every unprej udiced observer thnt the fnrmers in this section would have been out of business had not the rond been Im proved. "It must be evident also that the farmer does not get nil the benefit, for the citizen consumer shores a part of It, for It often happens during the glut of the season that farm produce sells for less than 10 cents per basket. This Is a sufficient justification, I think, for nfklu.T the cities to help pny for Im proving 'country roads. This is true of everything the readout of the city uses or consumes. It cau be delivered to him much more cheaply over n good road than a bad rond." HOW TO USE A DRAG. Sonie Points nn Improving; a. Hiarh nor by the Kins; Method. An Illinois highway commission has Issued a bulletin on (he split log, or King drag, which eoulnlns these In structions for Its manipulation: Make n light drag, which Is hauled over the road nt nu nngle so that a small amount of earth Is pushed to the I'enter of the road. Ilrlve the team at a walk. Hide on the drag; do not walk along side. Begin nt one side of the rond or wheel track, returning up the opposite side. Drag the rond as soon nfter every rain us possible, but not when the mud Is In such a condition us to stick to the drag. Do not drag a dry road. Drug whenever possible at all sea sons of the yeur. If a road Is dragged Immediately before a cold spell It will freeze in a smooth condition. The width of traveled way to be maintained by the drug should be from eighteen to twenty feet. ' First drug a little more than the width of a single wheel track, then gradually Increase mitil the desired width Is observed. Always drag a little earth toward the center .of the road until it is raised from ten to twelve Indies above the edges of tbe traveled way. The amount of earth thnt the drag will curry ulong can be very consider ably controlled by the driver, accord ingly as he stands near the cutting end or away from It. When the roads are first dragged nfter a very muddy spell the wagons rhould drive, if psssii.b, to one side until the roadway has a chance to freeze or partially dry out. The best results from dragging are obtained only by repeated applications. Iiemember that constant attention 13 u-'ce.'snry to nnlnttiin nn earth road In ''.a best condition. An Arsrunient For State Aid, Ole Peterson, one of the mort urdeut advocates of good rotuhi hi Minnesota, is making a strenuous effort to arouse the people to support (he proposed con stitutional amendment, to be voted on In November, empowering the state legislature to make u ilirect tax levy for road purposes, says the Good !;oads Marr.slne. In dbenssing state aid he recently sail.: "You will flir.I that from 40 to 45 per cent of the tax able property of the state Is In city nnd village property, and I think It no more than just und proper that this portion of wealth should be taxed In connection with other property in the state for the beuefit of better country roads. The citizens of rural districts should be thoroughly cnverrant with these facts, In ore or thnt they may fully realize the benefit of state aid and that they may better appreciate tbe Importance of the proposed amend ment. If It Is adopted the legislature can levy one-fourth of a mill, and that quarter of a mill will build some nice stretches of highway." Motorists to Improve Ronda.
