Set one cask on each batik, budding It In the earth a foot deep; then hoop It securely with wire; et two posts, aa bearing for the top limber of the gate inside thn casks and fill to the lop with earth or gravel. A five-inch pole long enough to reach from cask to cask serves as top tlm hers, and slat long enough to reach near the top of the water are nailed to this, making sort of giant comb. A foot above the lower end of the "comb" nail a strip lxt Inches, and a slight freshet will not move the flood gate at all, while a flood will carry It upon It surface. The reason for nailing giant comh. A foot above the lower end slats is that a gate to made is not liable to choke up with trash or leaves, as If the cross strip was piaced at the very bottom, and this Is quite an advantage, especially In fail, when trees are casting their leaves.

The dalryma nwho cannot soil his nllk for more than 2 cents per quart ihould sell butter aud use the skim milk for pigs. The fact Is that loo many farmers object to the making of butter on account of the extra work xmnecter therewith, but it Is the sav ng of labor that causes many farmers :o sacrifice the profit from farming. Anything that is produced on the farm tnd which is made more valuable by labor should be s.dd In that form which brings to the farmer the rnost money for the outlay.
