PRIMITIVE H00S1ER CABINS
Crude Pioneer Dwellings Construct.
ed by the Earlier Settlers in
Indiana.

In the primitiveH oosier canin-rough,
uncouth simple abodes-more genuine
happiness has been enjoyed than in all
the fine and costly mansions in the
great city of New York. Thousands OF
wealthy, respectable men and women
are living to-day who were born, reared
and married in such humble cabins
And there are millions of people living
to-day who have no idea how these cab
3ns are constructed.
The pioneer from some of the old
eastern or southern states, with his
wife, six or eight children, gun and
dog, would come to Greene county in
his covered wagon, which was his fam.
| lily abode until he erected his cabin,
which was constructed thus: Cut about
40 logs eight or ten inches in diameter,
20 of them 16 feet long and 20 of them
IA feet long; slope The ends off half and
notch the other half to fit; put chunks
in the cracks of the logs and daub them
with mud. The gables were made OF
shorter logs until reaching what is
called the comb, the ends sloped down
to suit the pitch of the roof. It being
now ready for covering, cut poles five
to six inches in diameter, 16 feet long,
or the length of the house, notch them
down on the gables about. 3H fee:
apart. Cut down large oak tree.
square the butt and SAW cuts four feet
long, split them in blocks about six
inches square, take frow and rive
boards half an inch thick, lay them
lengthwise on the aforesaid poles or
rafters, breaking joints, weight them
down with small poles. You are now
ready for the floors. Cut poles six
inches in diameter, length the width of
the cabin, for lower joists, place them
about four feet apart; cut tree-gen.
orally linn or some soft wood-saw logs
about six or eight feet long, split into
slabs about three inches thick hew
smooth; with these make the floor.
The door is made OF boards the same
as the roof, only longer; the fastening
is a wooden latch with string hanging
on the outside. One window, IA by 1G
inches, with creased paper for glass.
The ceiling is made with poles for
joists covered with clapboards.
Now comes the most scientific me-
chanical part of cabin building-the
fireplace and chimney. Saw out about
six feet wide out of one end Of the
house, six feet high from the ground,
case up the aperture, extending back
far enough for the back wall of the
fireplace and as high as the aperture.
Now dig yellow clay, dampen, and with
small maui beat down and form our
hearth, jambs and back wall. General
ly the jambs and back wall are about
foot thick. Now split sticks to the
proper length for the size of your Chin
ney-the sticks about an inch thick
and one and half wide. Make NOR
tar of the yellow clay and buila your
chimney to the desired height This
makes comfortable dwelling without
nail, glass or paint. Move in AMI have
q shoe down."-Linton Call.

Yesterday was the seventy-ffth an
niversary of the birth of A. jacob.
1t was pleasantly observed in the

life full of hard work and close atten-

leisure that he is now enjoying and in
his beautiful home and with children
and grand children to make pleasant
his declining years and make less
vexatious the infrmities of age, there
seems naught but happiness in store
for him. Mr.. jacob is one of the

gratulations with those of the family

The past week has seen the Farmers
Elevator, which has been a little more
than q month in getting its prelimin-

not only ready for business, but
actually transacting it.
AS previously announced it opened
it's elevator doors at a. M, this
morning, and five minutes later it had
taken in it's first load of wheat-Tom
Brown being the first to offer it busi-
ness.
4 meeting OF the board of directors
was held on Wednesday afternoon,
and they concluded all the business
necessary. giving the managers, Messrs
Jacob, Ingram and Townsend all the
authority necessary for transacting
the business.
The elevator-so called Peavy, or
Monarch-has a capacity OF more
than 90, 900 bushels and it is frst-class
in every respect. 1t did not cost a
dollar to put it in order. The only
addition to its equipment will
be cleaner, which will be ready in a
few days. When that is in place, far
mers may have their seed wheat
cleaned at a nominal cost.
