Too Great a Loss.

Whoever knows anything about
the small boy and his pride in his
first pair Of trousers will recognize
the truth Of story the Philadel-
phia Ledger prints.
Tommy was at Sunday school in
his first "real" clothes. A picture
Of lot Of little angels was before
the class. and the teacher asked
Tommy if he would not like to be
one.
"No, ma'am," replied Tommy
after inspecting the picture.
"Not want to be an angel, Tom
my" reproached the teacher. "Why
not ?"
"Cause I'd have to give up my
new pants" said Tommy sagely.

In the House of Too Much Trouble

He was eager for playmate,
He was hungry for toy.
But twas always to much bother,
Too much dirt, and to- much noise,
For the House of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys
And sometimes the little fellow
Left book upon the floor
Or forgot and laugh ed too lou lly.
Or he failed to close the door
In the House Of Too Mu.l rfoIDle
Things must be precise and trim
In the House Of Too Much Trouble
There was a little room for hlm.
He must never scatter playthings,
He must never romp and p ay;
Ey'ry room must be In order
And kept quiet all the day.
He had never had companions,
He had never own ID pet
In the House of Too much Trouble
1t is trim and quiet yet.
Every room is set in order
Every book is in its place,

Roofs and Floors.

Roofs and Floors.
There are many roofing materials
that can be used in place OF shingles.
Some of these can be purchased a little
cheaper but in lasting qualities they
are little better than good shingles.
The life of shingles can be increased
three or four times by treating them
with creOsote as described in article
l. The only trouble with this IS the
discomfort Of handling the treated
shingles.
For floors there is nothing better
than cement. Cement floors are much
more durable than any 6ther kind and
cost only a little more to start with
For the smaller buildings the floor can
be built first and the building set on
it with no other foundation. Heavy
buildings, like barns, should have solid
stone foundations. The hog house floor
may be built to extend out about
twelve feet on each side, thus making
a clean feeding floor for the fattening
hogs or a summing place for the early
pigs.
The foundation for a cement floor
should consist Of six inches or more
Of cinders or gravel. II the location
is not high and well drained a line Of
tile should be laid through this mate
rial to carry away any water that may
collect. On this foundation a layer Of
concrete should be laid three to FIVE
inches thick. according TO the purpose
for which the floor is to be used.
Horse stable floors need to be much |
stronger than those for a hog house |
or machine shed. For most farm pur- |
poses the best proportions to mix this |
concrete are one part cement. three /
parts clean sand and six parts broken |
stone or gravel This should be spread |
smoothly and tamped. AS soon as it /
has set for a few hours It is ready |
for the finishing coat.
A finishing or wearing surface is nee
essary where the floor is subject to |
much use. II is also smoother and /
easier to keep clean. 1t should be |
made OF one part portland cement to
one and One-half parts sand and be put
on to a depth Of from one to one and
Dne-half inches. AS soon as it has be-
gun 10 set it can be groOved into blocks
about six inches square to prevent the
animals from slipping. The floor
should be covered with about an inch
II sand and sprinkled daily for two or
hree weeks. when it viii he ready for

Association.
I'm most parts Of the country it is
necessary to provide some sort OF
shelter for the stock during a con.
siderable portion of the year
Good buildings are expensive, and it
takes a number of years to get the
farm improved as it should be. By
having a definite plan in mind, how
ever. every building that is put up can
be made to conform to that plan, and
the final results will be much better
than if the work had been gone at in
a haphazard manner.
There is usually a rise Of ground
somewhere along the road that makes
good building site. Natural drain
age is very important, as the yards
will be sloppy enough at best in a wet
season. The first step after the site
has been selected is to provide a good
windbreak on the north and west.
There is nothing so effective for a
windbreak as an evergreen hedge.
The best evergreens to use for this
purpose are the pines. OF these the
Scotch pine is one Of the hardest and
is also a fairly rapid grower. 1t does
not make as good a windbreak as
some Of the others, however. The
Austrian and bull pines are among the
best for windbreaks. White pine is a
rapid grower and is very valuable for
lumber when it reaches sufficient size.
The worst fault with it is that it is
rather tender when young. The white

Cement Tanks.

Cement tanks are durable and COM
paratively cheap Several small ones

venieuce. The water In small tanks is
changed often and hence is kept fresh
Where the pumping is done by a wind
mill there is danger Of a small tank
going dry during calm. but with
storage tank or gasoline engine to
pump this trouble is eliminated.
A foundation of gravel or cinders
should be made much the same as for
a floor. Rough boards can he used to
make forms. These should be creased
on the inside, the concrete mixed to
the consistency Of jelly and poured in

ger ones steel rods will be needed. The
proper mixture for concrete tank is
eight parts cement, two parts sand
and four parts gravel. The side walls
should slope outward toward the top.

their effectiveness is lost in the winter
at the very time when they are most
needed. 1t is a good practice to plant
a few OF these quick growing trees
outside the evergreens. They will pro-
tect both the everSreens and the build

and circumstances. For floors, walks.
tanks, etc, there is nothing better, but
for the buildings themselves other ma
terials are just as good as or better
than cement If built solidly enough to
be safe and permanent the cost Of a
cement building is high. The cost of
forms amounts to a great deal, and
a man who is skilled in handling ce-
ment is needed to insure good job.
A more satisfactory building ma
terial in most cases is hollow brick or
building tile. These brick can be read
lily obtained in most sections of the
country. The cost is little higher than
that Of lumber, and they will last as
long as cement. A tile building is
warmer than a single walled cement
one on account of the dead p space
in the walls. 1t takes much less skill
to put up a tile building than one OF
cement, and consequently the cost Of
construction will be less. For the
smaller buildings the tile may be put
up edgewise. In building the barn it
will be necessary to lay them fatwise
up to the hay floor From there up
they may be set on edge. They should
be laid in strong cement mortar. &c.
ment blocks may be used in the same
manner as the building tile.
