How to Make Effectual Lightning
Arrestor on Fence.
Effective Safety Device May Be Mad
By Using Ordinary Fence Wli
Place Ground Wires About
Ton Rods Apart.
(By J. BRIDQEMAN.)
An astonishing number of stock aro
killed each Reason by lightning, mid
not n few human beings, and In almost
every case the dead stock is found
near a wire fence. There Is no doubt
but that a large portion of this stock
and human life could be suvwl by
grounding the wires of the fence, but
; as this calls for a large-sixed, rather
expensive wire or Iron rod. It Is seldom
done.
An effective safety device may be
: easily constructed as follows : Any or
dinary smooth fence wire may be
driven four or five feet dep In the
hardest soil at either depth the wire
Is sure to be In damp, wet soil It all
, seasons of the year. Two 1 by 12-lnca
boards, four or five feet long, are
shaped like a flight of steep steps (aa
shown In the accompanying illustra
tion). The step-shaped notches should be
about six Inches In height and one and
J one-half Inches deep; In the top ceu
, ter of each step a small groove la cut
i (as shown by the darts leading to B).
These should be one-fourth Inch wide
and about one-eighth of an inch deep
1 so that when the two pieces aro fas
tened together each step bus a one-fourth-inch
hole Its entire length.
I The grooves should be as smooth
and straight as possible, but can be
cut with an ordinary pocketknlfe 1

In the left-hand figure) ; hold the top

wire In the top hole; drive down to
the wood, lift the device and place the
wire In the next hole, and so on un
til the last hole Is reached.
In this manner a very small wire
may be driven in the ground without
bending, and only six Inches of same
Is above the wood at one time. Splice
the ground wire and connect same to
each wire of the fence and you will
have a first-class lightning arrestor.
The distance apart these ground
wires should be placed Is a question
the writer places them every eight
or ten rods.
OVERCOMING GARLIC IN MILK
No Practical Method for Use on Dairy
Farms Keep Cows Off Garlicky
Pastures Is Beat.
What Is the best way to remove
the gurllc taste in milk? This ques
tion has In'. mi asked.
Though large milk establishment
have mechanical processes for taking
odors out of milk and cream by
means of an air blast, there Is no
pructical method for use on dairy
farms. An uerator would perhaps
be of some slight advantage, but pre
vention is the best cure. Keeping the
cows oft gurlicky pastures several
hours before milking is the most ef
fective means of overcoming the trou
ble. One of the best ways to kill wild
gurllc in pastures Is to turn in sheep.
Tbey like the tops, and in a few years
the garlic will disappear.
