In the Etruscan museum at Rome in
the Villa Papa Giulia, among the OBJ
jects found at Falern belonging to the
sixth century before Christ, is skull
which has the gold mounting Of sever
al false teeth fixed in it's upper Jaw,
very similar to the mountings used by
dentists of our own day. Cremation is
as old as the days of Romulus and Re-
mus. If Romulus did not cremate Re
mus his contemporaries certainly ere
mated their dead, as is shown by the
graves of this epoch recently discov-
cred in the Roman forum. Historians
have been accustomed to regard the
Etruscans as belonging to primitive
era of civilization, but in some Of their
utensils they We're astonishingly mod
ern. Their bronze tripods for holding
saucepans over lamps might have been
copied from the kettle stands of the
modern breakfast table except for the
beauty Of their workmanship.

The Open Cement Trough

The average farmer is slack in the
care of the interior Of his stables, says
G. S. Plumb in Rural New Yorker.
Many really excellent devices are
neglected that should be used simply
because they are thought to be of too
much trouble. The open cement trough
presents the very least amount of OBJ
lection from this point Of view. Fur
Their, if the herd is healthy one there
will be no special danger from spread
ing disease through drinking in their
open trough extending along in front OF
a row of COWS. Such trough, with nc
corners, flushed with water twice dali
ly, should consider model feeding
and drinking place from the sanitary
point Of view. In winter there might
be some trouble from freezing when
extremely cold weather was on, yet
this should be dealt with as easily as
any other form of watering, excepting
where tank heater Is used in the wa
ter trough itself, as is SO common in
the west.

Rock Caves as Home..

A large number of the natives of
Tenerife dwell in rock caves at the
present time, while those who have
made more progress inhabit huts that
resemble the caves
The dwellings of these islanders are
simply large boxes, often built, if such
term can be used, on the rock. They
have three completed sides without
openings of any kind; the roof is prac-
tically fiat, except that in the center
it ''dips" little in order to catch the
rain water.
The front of the hut has a door.
which forms the only ventilation, and
often the only means by which light
can enter. This door is generally open,
and the family sits either inside the
hut quite close to the door or outside
in the open. They usually have kind
OF cellar, which is a natural or arti-
fetal excavation liz the rock founda-
ton, and in this cellar they keep pig
Sanitation is decidedly primitive.

SILAGE AND THE SILO

Professor f. W. Taylor in an article
prepared for the Connecticut board of
agriculture concerning silos said: TAX
ing forty pounds as the average weight
Of one cubic foot of corn silage, we
find that one ton will occupy fifty Gu
bic feet and a hundred tons 5000 cubic
feet. The quantities of silage required
for different herds for period of 1870
days: For ten COWS, sc tons, or 2,4OO
cubic feet; for fifteen cows, 81 tons, or
3,1OO cubic feet; for twenty cows. ~
tons, or 400 cubic feet; for twenty
five cows, 80 tons, or 1880 cubic feet:
for thirty cows. 1O3 tons, or $500 cubic
feet; for thirty-five cows. 1876 tons, or
$500 cubic feet; for forty cows, 144
tons, or 1900 cubic feet.
The dimensions of the silo can be
easily figured from the number of Gu
bic feet which it is required to contain.
SLIDING Corn.
There is more to be gained by silo-
ing corn than by SLIDING crops that
have finer stems that can be more
quickly dried. There is usually great
loss III curing lue louder part or corn.
Farmers Advocate.
Points In Silage Making
The two important points in making
silage are to have the crop mature
enough to retain it's own juices in the
silo and to keep without developing
strong odors. Immature corn will
pretty surely make strong smelling
silage.-American Agriculturist.
An Economical Feed.
We consider silage the most econom-
ical of all foodstuffs as we'll as the
least trouble to feed. Bran we find the
most expensive, and we wish for the
day when a satisfactory substitute for
it can be produced on our farms. But
this far along anything to take the
place of bran seems to be in the expert
mental stage in Indiana, and we find
that to dispense with it, even when the
cows are on pasture, generally results
in loss Of butter Of more value than
the cost Of the bran.-From First Prize

Salt For Cows.

On the model fifteen acre farm in
Pennsylvania that raises all the rough
age for thirty head Of stock, seventeen
of which are COWS in milk, the cows
are given four ounces of salt each dali
ly mixed with their feed. They eat
their food better, and the owner thinks
they do better when given this amount
than when the allowance is smaller.
The cows are fed three times day.
and the salt is divided among the three
feeds. Fine table salt Is invariably
used. The cows prefer it to coarse
salt.-Department of Agriculture Year

MOISTURE IN BUTTER.
Ways by Which 1t May BE Controlled
by the Manufacturer.

$1,000
The moisture in butter in many
cases, especially in that not washed,
holds within it a certain proportion of
the casein, or curd, from the butter
hilk, says w. r. Gilbert in American
Agriculturist. 1t follows therefore, that
with larger proportion of moisture
there is more chance of the butter be-
coming cheesy or strong Most cases
of bad butter are due to the fact that
substances other than fat have not
been properly distracted. There are
several ways in which the intelligent
buttermaker can control to great ex-
tent the amount of moisture in butter
when it is finished and ready for mar
ket. BY far the most important Of
these is temperature, the influence of
which is felt throughout the whole
process of manufacture.
Cream which has been ripened at a
high temperature usually gives butter
which is soft when churned. 1t has a
greater tendency to retain moisture,
while that which has been slowly and
thoroughly cooled before churning will
give firmer butter, which drains more
readily than when quickly cooled just
before churning. even though the tenn
peratures Of churning may be exactly
the same
Butter churned at high tempera-
ture retains much more moisture In
farmhouses where there is no deep
well and ice is not procurable a good
deal of difficulty is experienced. In
such cases the cream should be thinner
than usual when churned, so that the
grains will not gather too quickly The
size of the grain, too, is an important
factor. 1t should be sufficiently large
to allow the buttermilk to drain quick
~ away. A very small grain holds a
great deal more moisture

Only Makes a Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought of
1T but the fact must be apparent to
every one that constipation is caused
by lack of water in the system, and
the use of drastic cathartics like the
old fashioned pills only makes bad
matter worse. Chamberlain's Stom
ach and Liver Tablets are much more
mild and gentle in their effect, and
when the proper dose is taken their
action is so natural that one can hard
ly realize it is the effect of medicine.

begun to look more serious. The en-.
gagement was announced, with the
consent Of the parents on both sides.
Love did not run smoothly, however.
Bessie wanted to put in one more term
and graduate, and Will insisted on
marriage in the fall. Both being quick
tempered and impulsive, they had had
many small quarrel before, but on
this occasion it threatened to degener-
ate into something serious.
VIII had driven out to the farm In
the forenoon to urge the matter from
his standpoint, and as Bessie had that
day been chased by cow, stung by a
humble bee and fallen down the back
steps she was in no mood for gentle
argument. 1t wasn't long before the
pair We're at loggerheads, and when
the young man left the house to jump
into his buggy and drive furiously
away it was with the understanding
that If he never returned no hearts
would be broken.
La me, but how silly! exclaimed
the mother as she came in from the
kitchen and found Bessie kneeling on
the floor, with her head buried in her
lounge and sobs choking her utterance.
"Do-do- you-you suppose I'm going
to let Will Burt boss me around as if
We're child" exclaimed the girl as
she sprang to her feet and dashed the
tears away
II don't think he wants to boss"
He does. He not only wants to
boss, but he's selfish. l told him I'd

but did he sit down and hold my hand

married in October. He talked as If

"Oh, come now"

this and he's going to do that, just

cry when he was gone, but did he even
