THE WINGHAM ADVANCE
How the concrete Fence P.ost Camp
The Travelling Agent Tells About
Improved Farm Conditions Back Home
4 ‘ NM of the most striking
changes amongst the far-
mers in the vicinity of my
old home," said the tray-
eliing agent of a large Canadian
firm of agricultural Implement
manufacturers, upon his return
from avisit tf, his birthplace, in
the State of New York, recently,
"is the better and more perman-
ent character of the buildings and
Various farm improvements."
"I remember how, years ago, it
took my father and all three of
us boys one whole day to harvest
a, certain field. The present owner
of the place says that his young
son now does that work in a sin-
gle day, and so far as he can see
he never even has to mop his
brow.
"Talking with some of the farm-
ers in that section, regarding the
methods of the present day. as
compared with the past, I find
that a very great saving has been
effected by the introduction of the
use of cement. The price of this
article, when I was a boy, was
almost prohibitive. In fact, we
had hardly ever heard of cement
at all, and when we did. It was
more as a luxury—an article to
mend the dishes in mother's kit-
chen --rather than as an article to
be used out on the farm. Now-
adays, most of the boys have been
learning how to use it, and no mat-
ter where you go you are sure to
see something made of it"
"I was particularly struck with
a fence which my brother put
up on his place, some years
ago. lily brother and I, you must
know, particularly hated looking,.
after fences. We used to prop
the posts up mainly by aid of the
stones we had picked off the prop-
erty. Somehow these stones would
get removed, and down would
come the fence. ,r Father used to
be a little hard on us sometimes
we thought. When the other boys
were off playing he used to set
us at work repairing these fences.
As the stones wouldn't hold the
posts up, he made us dig holes
deep in the ground, and drive the
posts down into them. These held
fairly well,;.but the trouble was
that the posts would rot. That
pid not matter so much those
days, for posts were cheap. The
trouble was that we had to go
over the fence and repair It and
waste all sorts of time over it, In
fact, the fence was the bane of
our lives, and must have costa lot
to keep In repair.
"A good many accidents took
place, ane way and another. with
those fences, which it seems to me
now must have cost father even
more than the fences did. I re-
memlber one night the horses got
tearing around the fields .and
bumped Into a part of the fence
which had been neglected for some
time past, for the reason that we
were busy harvesting the hay.
There was a field of green grain.
The horses got into it and tram-
pled all over it; but worse than
that they gorged themselves with
it, with the result that two of them
-died the following day, and the
other two were barely pulled
through by the aid of a veterinary
from the nearest town.
"As I way, about to say, mY bro-
ther, who lives on part of the old
farm, took mo down to the old
line fence, just to look at the place
where the horses broke through
that time. He told me that when
he saw cement being used so much
he wondered if it wouldn't be a
good thing to make fence posts
of, so that they would not rot or
break, He got into touch with
a cement firm, without further de-
lay, with the result that they sent
him full instructions regarding
the making of cement fence
posts.
"Jack was very proud of his
fence, and it struck me, when he
showed it to me, that I had nev-
er seen anything nicer. It was
as straight as a die, and thers
wasn't a sign of a break in it
from end to end. The posts were
all upright, and the wire—it was
smooth wire—was as tight and as
trim as it used to be on Judge
Poster's lawn. Jack asked me
how long I thought it was since
the fence was built. I told him
perhaps a few months—four or
five months. 'Well,' said he, 'make
it years instead of months and
you would be nearer it.'
"It was a fact that for half a
dozen years that fence had stood
there, and that during that time
not a break had taken place, and
Tack had net spent five minutes
looking after it.
"I asked my brother if the fence
had not been a little costly.
"Said he: 'That's the cheapest
fence I ever had on my farm. It
cost more to begin with than the
old kind we used to have so much
trouble with when we were boys,
but once put up it is there for-
ever. Those posts can never rot.
The longer they are up> the hard-
er and the stronger they become.
I made a few little mistakes when
I began the work, but they were
not serious, and I now know how
to provide against them. One of
the great advantages of this sort
of fence is that it never needs to
be repaired. I suppose, in the
course of time, the wire will rust
out and break, but that will not
be the fault of the posts; and as
you will remember, it was always
the posts that used to give us the
worry when we were boys.'
"I asked him if the posts never
loosened and fell ever to one side
in the way that used to make so
much work for us in the old
days.
"Well,' said he, 'they do loos-
en sometimes. But do you remem-
ber how solid the wooden posts
used to be after they had been in
the ground a good while and be-
fore they began to rot. The long-
er they remained there the solid-
er they became. That's the way
with these posts. I never have to
tinker with them, so that they are
never disturbed, but are allowed to
become imbedded .in the earth. I
have sunk them pretty deep, so
that the frost will not affect them,
and the result is that the fence is
always just as you see it now, The
strongest man on this farm could
hardly move one of those posts.
I am .lust now completing the last
fence on my farm, and after it is
finished the fence problem on this
place will be settled forever. No
more time will be wasted looking
after them, and there will be no
danger of the horses breaking in
like they did at this spot thirty
years ago, or so—as you may re-
me2nber
"I rem.'embered all right, and as
we stood there laughing; we in-
stinctively began rubbing the sore
spots once more, which father left
on us upon that memorable occa-
sion.."

A White Robin.
The Kincardine Reporter says :—
Noticing a couple of old robins making
quite aeommotion in the orchard last
Friday, Joe Wallace went to see what
all the fuss was about. He found the
two robins hovering around a young
one which had apparently fallen from
the nest and were trying to get it
back. The young robin was entirely
white though bearing all the other
characteristics of a young robin.
Naturally, he was surprised, but more
so when he found that the bird had
pink eyes. He has exhibited his find
to quite a number in the neighbor-
hood.
Danger Now Past.
The Listowel Standard says :—
"Since it first became known that
there was a case of smallpox in Lis-
towel our citizens were naturally
much alarmed that a general out-
break of the dread disease might
follow. The sad. termination of the
one ease by the death of the patient,
Dr, Sawdon, increased the alarm to
some extent until all danger of con-
tracting the disease was past, Fortun-
ately that period has been reached
without any other case developing,
and Listowel's citizens can now
breathe freely and congratulate there -
selves upon their escape from a threat-
ened outbreak. The greatest possible
precaution was taken to prevent the
disease from spreading, and it is very
satisfactory to all concerned that the
steps taken have resulted in confining
the disease to the one case and that it
is now completely eradicated."
Ontario Power Ready.
Not only does the Ontario hydro-
electric scheme promise to be a great
boon to the municipalities_of western
Ontario by furnishing them with
power at half the former cost, but
there is already evidence that the
working out of the scheme will prove
a triumph of engineering skill in the
way of long distance transmission of
electric power. Last Saturday even-
ing a test was made of the line from
Niagara Falls to Berlin via Dundas, a
distance of 115 miles, The test was
exceedingly successful and the power
was stepped up to 180,000 volts, which
was carried without a hitch. This is
regarded as a triumph of engineering.
From an engineering point of view it
is said that this performance has never
been equalled. Everything has been
done on a scale so far in advance of
previously existing conditions that
there were no standards or patterns
from which the transformers and
other; apparatus could be made, so
that special patterns had to be de-
signed.
