LAYING DAIRY BAPM FLOORS
Method Recommended by Herbert
A. Hooper, an Assistant in Dairy

There are about as many ways Of
building a barn floor as there are meth

will make their interiors just like those

less, some good ideas In all methods,
Herbert A. Hopper, an assistant IN

Suggestions for the Improvement OF

vious floor The benefits derived from
such floor when properly constructed
are:
T. The animals are more comfortable
and hence more profitable.
g. The manure may be saved and ap-
piled to the land without loss

4. Cleaner milk is produced which

Eight calves formed a group at the

Corn oil in this test proved too ex-

Whenever you hear a girl called q
"girl's girr' try to know her, If you
do not do so already. She is sure to be
nice in the best sense of the word. In
nine cases out of ten you will find her
true and sympathetic, always ready to
listen to condolences amt above all
ready to keep them as such. She is al
ways doing a kind act for some one,
and thought for herself comes nowhere
In her calculations. Such a girl is al
ways popular with her friends and you
will hear golden opinions Of her on all
sides. There may be nothing specially
about her to attract notice; it seems to
be just an individual charm in her
nature that stamps her with this en-.
gaging characteristic. She is generally
frank and honest in expressing an opin-
lon and her friends may be sure It is
q genuine one. She Is at once unaffect-
ed and simple and ready to show an
interest in all her friends undertake
ings. If you cannot count among your

RAINY DAY CLOTHES.

Be Prepared to Make a Good Appear.
ance In Wet Weather.
By the kind Of clothes she wears on
a rainy day you shall know the mental
habits of many young woman. A
girl may have Just the incest kind of
garments for all other days in the
week, but the day it pours rain is the
day that tests the real stuff she is
made Of.
If she is a girl of forethought, Of
well balanced mind, she won't be at
loss when she wakes up in the morn
Ing to find weepy skies and muddy
streets, for she has a neat short
skirt, waterproof boots and small
hat for days like this, in which garb
she feels as neatly and smartly dressed
as when she wears her pretty linen
frock and low ties under smiling skies.
But there's another kind of girl who
never is prepared for rain and who
Is shaken into a state of mental con-
fusion at the sound of raindrops pat
tering on her window Of a. morning.
AL ucI pIOFlSlOuS are mdUe IOr sun.
shiny days. Half Historically she
dresses in odds and ends Of her ward
robe-an old skirt, too long and heavy
and too shabby to be hurt; soiled
blouse, untidy shoes, to save her best
ones, and probably her usually too big
shade hat, decked with flowers and
feathers.
You can always tell this girl when
you meet her on rainy day. You
know just what a morning frenzy she
experienced. aud you wonder why
it is she never learns that rainy days
are as certain to come as clear ones
and that tbs the part Of good sense to
prepare for them.
1t is surprising how little the
weather affects one mentally, If one Is
dressed to meet it whereas the girl
who never looks out for rainy days is
always disagreeab,y upset by them
and considers them nuisance quite
unnecessary in the general scheme Of
things

Home Cosmetics.

Home cosmetics are all very we'll,
but there are some preparations that
the amateur cosmetic muddler should
not attempt. Such things as hair dyes,
depilatories and face bleaches are be-

pilatories that will remove the growth
Of hair from the arms. but, of course,
the removal Is only for the time being.
The chances are that the fuzzers will
return very soon, and instead Of soft,
downy hair they will be ugly little
bristles. This is because the prepare
