BACKS THIS SAW 
With over 40 years’ experience in using 
farm gates, we have found the sliding 
gate the handiest and most economical 
gate for ordinary purposes. They are so 
easily and quickly opened and closed, and 
never swing or blow shut just as you are 
ready to drive through. The construction 
is so simple that anyone who can use a 
hammer and saw can build them, and 
there is no extra expense for hinges. 
They can be made pig-tight, horse-high 
and bull-strong. I know these gates arc 
extensively used in Illinois and Wiscon¬ 
sin and, I believe, all through the West, 
tine farm in Illinois had lb of these gates 
when our five-year lease expired. We did 
away with all har-ways; it was such a 
waste of time to use them. These gates

cau he built any length desired. We 
usually built them of regular fence 
boards, 1x0 in., lb’ to 34 ft, long, cross¬ 
pieces of same. If the cross-pieces are 
well nailed no braces will he required. 
We use live wire nails in each cross-piece 
at each board, and clinch them. The 
drawing shows the gate ready to hang. 
To hang this gate, set an extra post or 
stout stake about 3 or 4 in. to one side 
and the same distance to the front of 
fence post. Slide back end of gate be¬ 
tween these posts, put n cleat under the 
top or next to the top board, raise the 
gate up the desired height from the 
ground and nail the cleat firmly to the 
two posts. The posts should he just far 
enough apart to lc: the gate slide easily, 
and the extra post should be far enough 
ahead of the feuce post to let the gate 
swing square cross ways of the fence. For 
the front end of gate there should be an 
extra post set about ■! in. to one side of 
the fence post to slide the open end of 
gate between. A cleat should bo nailed 
to the two posts so as to hold the gate up 
a little from the ground, and if a fasten¬ 
ing is desired to prevent animals from 
opening the gate by rubbing against it. a 
notch can be out in the lower edge of the 
hoard, where it will catch on the cleat. 
These gates could lw built of dressed lum¬

For convenience, and I may say pleasure 
and pride. 1 did away with the draw-bars 
on my Virginia farm, and put in good, 
substantial gates. Draw-bars and a sag¬ 
ging and dragging gate are always a 
source of annoyance; in fact, there is 
much truth in the old Virginia saying: 
•’One will never go to heaven who has a 
pair of draw-bars on his farm.” I had 
use for as many as seven gates, and alter 
trying different styles the one I send you 
proved the most satisfactory. It is simple 
and well braced, and any farmer can 
make it. You will note the uprights and 
slats are equally divided iu the gate, they 
being one-third of the length of the gate 
apart, and rhe braces two-thirds distance 
from the standard. 1 have noticed all 
derricks and appliances for lifting or 
hoisting heavy material. The brace is 
Lower Machine Prices 
—a factor in a brighter outlook 
for 1922 
M OST of the readers of this paper 
know that we have reduced our 
prices on farm machines for 1922. 
The lower figures apply on practically our 
entire line of grain, hay, and corn harvest¬ 
ing machines, plows, tillage implements, 
seeding machines, etc. 
Reductions in prices of farm machines 
and other articles the farmer buys is one 
of the many indications pointing to con¬ 
tinued improvement in the farmer’s situa¬ 
tion. The War Finance Corporation is 
steadily pouring aid from its billion dollar 
fund into agricultural communities to 
finance the farmer. Freight rate reduc¬ 
tions on stock, grain, hay, etc., now going 
into effect, will save many millions for the 
farmers. Land values are now on a sound¬ 
er basis. For 1922, better labor at lower 
cost will be available, better marketing 
conditions are being evolved, and recent 
tariff legislation also should tend to in¬ 
crease farm product prices. 
All these factors indicate that more 
efficient production by modern methods 
and improved machines will mean greater 
profit for the new year. You cannot afford 
to postpone the purchase of needed ma¬ 
chines. Where repairs have been made 
again and again, beyond the point of ser¬ 
viceability, waste and loss are pretty sure 
to follow. The present prices will enable 
you to replace the old with efficient 
modern machines so that best use may be 
made of the opportunities that are certain 
to come to the farming world.
