could see a cloud of dust headed
straight my way. Of course, I
knew in an instant that he had

about four o'clock in the afternoon
when I first saw them and about
six O'Clock when they corralled me
in an old dobe hut. One of them
tied rag to a stick and came up
within fifty feet of the door to jam
wind with me. He was quarter

them. If [ were as homely as he
was I would be afraid of myself.

It is said that Edison was asked
by fond young mother to select
life motto for her baby son.
After moments thought, Edison
replied: "Never look at the clock"
This story probably isn't true,
but the motto is good one for all
of Us to adopt.
As your life progresses haveyou
ever glanced back in a RETROSPECT

Bracing n Fence Post.

Oftentimes it Is necessary or polite
to curve the farm fence at certain
point, and those who have built such
fences appreciate the difficulty Of set
ting the post at the sharpest point of
the curve, SO that it will not pull over.
Any Of the ordinary methods Of brac-
ing do not seem to answer the purpose.
An excellent brace may be made by
the following plan: Place the post in
position, then dig hole two feet deep
and about six or eight feet from the
post. Obtain heavy stone and fasten
a stout piece Of wire to it, long enough
to reach to the post and wrap around
it two or three times. Then bury the
stone in the hole, covering it with the
soil and tramping the soil down tightly.
The other end of the wire is then
wrapped about the post tightly and

Weighing the Milk,

There Is no good reason why the
plan of weighing the milk to ascertain
what each COW is doing should be put
off until fall. Start in with the fresh
cows and keep it up around to the time
they are dried off again, and one will
then have valuable record of results.
A neighbor whom we induced to try
this plan several years ago was glad
enough to get rid of one-half Of his
herd of eighteen cows and buy new
ones, for he found that those he sold
had been robbing him for years; in
the case Of two Of them they were a
positive loss while the others gave not
enough profit in the twelve months to
anywhere near pay for the time con-
sumed In caring for them. The eyes
of more than one dairyman have been
opened by this simple expedient of
keeping a careful record, by weight, Of
the milk furnished by each COW for n
given period Of considerable length
This Is necessary, for some cows are
small mixers in summer, others In win
ter, and vice rsa.-Indianapolis News

Good Milking Stool.

The milking stool on the average
farm is Of little value. Usually it is
an affair with one leg, upon which the
mixer balances himself so that he can
fall readily, carrying the pail Of milk
with him, should the COW move quickly.
A stool that will not tip over is readily
made Of a small box that is strong
The box should be about fifteen inches
high, unless the COW Is built low, in
which case the box can be three inches
lower. 1t should be from twelve to
fourteen inches square to form a COM
Portable seat. Nail two cleats on the
inside Of the box exactly eight inches
from the bottom, then fit bench or
shelf on these cleats, with one end ex-
tending out the sufficient length and
held in place with two legs. On this

ROMAN EXCAVATIONS,

O DAhSoNGESus
In continuing the excavations of the

fragments Of stucco modelled with

scription Of the pavement of the I'm.
perial Forum.
Sig BOni has come to an interesting
conclusion with regard to many of the
buildings belonging to the first and
second century.
He Is now convinced that large
number Of them that were supposed to
be built of long, fiat bricks are really
composed Of tiles, obtained In millions
from the great conhagrations that de-
vastated Rome The aqueduct of the
Aqua Traiana, the entire port of Ostia,
near Flumicino the hemicycle of the
Forum Of Trajan, the Horrea under
the Basilica of Maxentlus, many of the
tombs on the Via Latina and the Via
Appia, including the internal part of
the tomb Of Cecilia Metella, and many
other buildings, are all formed of these
remains. This would entirely alter the
dates attributed to many buildings,
which were formerly supposed to be un.
questionably fixed by the stamps Of the
supposed bricks Of which they were
composed, but which Sig. Bonl feels
that he has now proved were taken
from the remains Of very much older
constructions.
