Mrs. Anna Mccoy, IN Illinois Woman
Who Runs Farm and II u
Carpenter.

The only woman in Illinois. says a
Virginia, H., correspondent Oh the Inter
Ocean. who belongs to the DR.. Mary
| Walker school OF fashion and wears
mems clothes Is Mrs. Anna Mccoy, who
! lives near Virginia. All the year around,
N the harvest field, at the carpenters
| bench, while milking the cows, caring for
| the horses. or clearing the timber from
| the land she tends, Mrs. Mccoy wears a
hickory shirt and a pair of rough panta-
oons, and she does it unblushingly, too.
This young woman, who is just 80
years old. is farmer, and is known as
| the best stock raiser in this section OF
the state. She is a carpenter, and built
| her own home. She is a wood chopper
who can swing ten-pound AK from
| morning until night, and she can plow
a furrow as straight as any man in the
state. Before she went to Kansas City,
Mo, where she met and married Charles
Mccoy, from whom she later secured q
divorce, this young woman was Miss
| Ann Rohrer. She was born at Decatur,
| H.. Of German parents. There was no
| boy in the Bohrer family, and the girl
went to work in the fields. Under the
hard work she grew to be a powerful
young woman, who, at the age of 20,
could throw a l4-inch pillow around with
one hand. She worked on a farm until
she went to Kansas City. When she
again returned to lllionis she leased a
tract of timber land near here, bought
an ak and an adj, and went to work.
She won the reputation Of being able
to cut more cords OF wood in week than
any man in the neighborhood This
didn't satisfy here She next began
planning To build home for herself and
her parents. She went into the woods,
cut down the trees, hewed the timbers
Tor the building, hauled them to the site
selected for the house, and then, without
bit of help, erected the building she
had planned. She even made the doors
and the windows in the building, and
they are as good as any carpenter could
make. Mrs. Mccoy also shingled the
house and plastered it, The work on the
farm she personally looks after, and she
raises as good crops rs anyone in the
county.
The work Of this young woman has
not been confined to the fields She is a
splendid scamstress, and is a good cook

CONCRETE ON THE FARM.
II Can Re Used Not Only for Cisterns
and Floors But for Fence
Posts Also.

There Is little excuse for up to date
farmers wading around in the mud
when concrete walks may be had around
house and barn with very small outlay
OF money, provided the man is handy and
can do the work himsc If after little III
struction, says Rural New Yorker Be
sides the making Of walks concrete Is
being used in many other ways advan-
tageously and economically. During the
past season we have seen fence posts
made from stone and concrete that are
much cheaper than the cut stone post
and just as durable. The plan of making
the posts was to dig down two feet into
the ground, or perhaps deeper in soft
ground, and then make a box the size
Of post wanted which was filled with the
concrete and topped out according to
fancy. When hinges or eyes were wanted
for hanging gates holes were bored In
the box and the eyes inserted before the
dlling was done, taking care to have
same anchored well in the post con-
crete floor Is easily made In houses buii;

practically fireproof. We saw floors of
this kind made last season that seem to
be perfection. A wooden floor is first
made of rough lumber and on this ia
laid a wire cloth, in which the concrete
is spread six inches thick. When 1t
dries the wooden floor Is removed and
the concrete is self-sustaining. The
convcr6te is made by mixing together
Portland cement, sand and coal cinders.
1t is said TO cost but little more than a
frst-class floor made Of wood, including
the joists. We have seen number of
cisternS made out of concrete, no brick
being used for walling up. In making
a cisttrn of this kind 1t Is necessary to
have a rough wooden wall made about
three inches all around from the dirt
and fill in space with concrete. After
the wood wall is removed one coat of
cement completes the cistern, and 1t Is
there for all time To come. The greatest
objection to iron fence posts is that they
are not solid in the ground, being so
small. Ey using n bed Of concrete and
the base Of all iron posts set in It will
be found that they will stand as well as
any other post

The following is a description OF a
cheap and serviceable wire gate which
will be found satisfactory, especially in
places where a gate is not often used.
1t, of course, would not do for sheep
or hogs, but will serve the purpose in
cattle pastures, where threewire
fence is sufficient to confne stock. Cut
three wires each about foot longer

and three short wires each six inches
long. FORM the short wires into loops
and fasten to post CAY, (B b, 3D. with

Interesting discussions.

4 short letter printed in the London
Times recently stood out among such
Al-absorbing topics as the possibility Of
war in the near or far east. the fiscal
question and other matters Of grave in
terests. The writer of this letter re-
ferred to the announcement that royal
commission Is about to be appointed to
investigate the physical deterioration
Of the English people
He proceeds to declare the conviction
that this deterioration Is due to the ex-
cessve use of soap, which removes the
natural oil given by the Almighty to pro-
tect the body, and thus exposes it to
rheumatism. ch!lls, disease and dirt.
The writer boasts that he has not used
soap for 30 years, while all the time he
was doing the hardest kind of work at
sea, and yet he never had a twinge Of
rheumatism or any thor ailmcnt.
The appearance Of this letter was the
signal for a general press investigation
into the philosophy Of soap Physicians.
dermatologists, complexion specialists
and even recruiting sCrgcants have
been interviewed on the subject, with
the result that soap comes forth vic
torious and is declared To be an absolute
necessity of life under modern condi-
tons. The London Lancet admits that
soap is not calculated To make the skin
supple, because it removes the natural
oil, but cold cream is a remedy for
this.
Nevertheless. says the Lancet. mot
few people manage TO maintain per-
sonal cleanliness without the use Of soap
