Permanent Gate Posts 
I would like to tell how a farm gate 
can be made to last for years without be¬ 
ing replaced by fixing or making over. 
The posts are set in concrete 4 ft. in 
ground, resting on flat stone. I used 
l^xd-in. chestnut for timbers, painted 
with black roofing paint, three coats, be-

fore putting together. I use bolts in 
place of nails at all points. To hold the 
gate take wagon tire, bend in middle for 
clip around post; flatten and drill holes 
to bolt on gate. To hold the gate up, 
any odd pieces of chain or cable wire 
bound across to fasten over the top and 
let it extend down to the bottom of gate, 
fastening to the back cleats. To hook 
gate take a wooden beam plow clevis, 
fasten to top of gate so it will flop over 
the top of the S-ft. post. This will allow 
gate to swing open either way. When 
painting the roof, put some on the gate 
and they both will last a long time.

A Stump Hook 
I am writing for information about a 
stump or brush hook consisting of a three- 
pronged hook on the end of a bar. The 
chain from the horses or tractor is at¬ 
tached to the other end of the bar. This 
hook is driven under the stump or root 
iron 1 the side of the pull instead of tlje 
usual way, which is to hook on to the 
stump or root over the top and on tlie 
opposite side from the pull. The follow- 
ink sketch may indicate more clearly 
what I mean :

This book has had a remarkable reception. We have had 
orders for it from China, South Africa. New Zealand. Hawaii, 
Austria and Brazil, It has gone to every State in the T’uion. 
Among many appreciative letters comes the following from “the 
heart of the Blue Grass”: 
1 have ever been a reader of your notes In The Rural New- 
Yorker, but it is not recalled that in a long life any hook was 
lead with so much pleasure and profit as your recent compilation. 
The mellow and wholesome philosophy that pervades every page 
hears tribute to both head and heart. 
With the hope that the lengthening shadows of a declining sun 
may long yet cast their evening glory on your full and fruitful 
life, believe me, Sincerely yours.

Our people say they buy this hook because it presents in read 
able form bright pictures of the finest side of farm life this conn 
try has over known. It is a period of life now fast disappearing 
in history, and It should be preserved in the minds of all our peo¬ 
ple. That is why the hook should he in every home, and partial -

This brush hook was described to me 
by a friend who had seen it used a num¬ 
ber of years ago. I would appreciate any 
information you could give me about, this 
type of brush hook, as I wish to have one 
made up to use in the Spring. Is it by 
any chance manufactured and for sale 
that you know of? iiarold v. kaleb.
