made at home, and this latter plan to- 

 gether with suggestions as to the con- 

 struction of the fence after the posts 

 are made and cured is the theme of 

 Farmers' Bulletin, No. 403, recently Is- 

 sued by the U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture. The author talies up in detail 

 the selection of sand, gravel, crushed 

 rock, and cement; the choice of molds 

 —either steel or wooden, and if wood- 

 en, the proper way to make square or 

 triangular molds. Reinforcement — the 

 insertion of steel rods or wire in the 

 molds when making the posts is disi 

 cussed as to the principle involved and 

 the kinds of reinforcement best suited 

 to certain needs. The work of mix- 

 ing, molding, and curing is explained 

 with minuteness, and the variety of 

 styles which can be produced de- 

 scribed. Under "fence building" is 

 given instruction as to setting the 

 j)osts, attaching the wire, stretching 

 the fencing, and the use of line an- 

 chors. Nine illustrations give detailed 

 drawings of molds, methods, and re- 

 sults. The pamphlet closes with a 

 warning to persons intending to buy 

 post molds, either steel or wooden, to 

 beware of traveling agents who are 

 selling molds or rights for the sale 

 or use of their respective molds. No 

 -dealings should be had with these 

 agents except when fully satisfied 

 ■ through reports from one's banker or 

 lawyer that the company represented 

 by the agent is reliable and that the 

 -agent is their authorized representa- 

 tive. Patents have been issued on spe- 

 cial types of reinforcement, and they 

 -can not be generally used without dan- 

 ger of infringing patent rights; but 

 .none of the simple forms described in 

 the bulletin is patented or patentable, 

 and they are just as good as the spe- 

 cial forms advertised and recommended 

 by the agents. No one need hesitate 

 to use the simple form of construction 

 recommended, for it has been in com- 

 mon use in all countries for a number 

 •of years, and all claim that the gen- 

 eral use of reinforced concrete fence 

 posts is controlled by patent rights are 

 unjustified and untrue. 



BENJAMIN HAMMOND'S NEW 

 BUILDING. 



At noon on Wendesday last, the lay- 

 ing of the corner stone took place at 

 the new factory for the Hammond 

 Paint Works at Fishkill, N. Y., being 

 ■ erected at tne corner of Beekman and 

 Ferry streets. Benjamin Hammond 

 was present, but there were no special 

 ceremonies in the corner stone laying. 



The metal box in the corner stone 

 contains a number of manuscripts, pic- 

 tures and papers which in future years 

 will be of great historical value local- 

 ly, among them being a copy of the 

 last bulletin of the American Rose So- 

 ciety. The ground dimensions are 40x 

 SO. When completed the building will 

 be a conspicuous ornament to Fish- 

 kill.
