The ends Of the box are made of
pieces Of 2 by 8 bolted together. A
hole bored in the center of each end
forms the bearings. The sides of the
box are made of one inch lumber and
are simply nailed to the ends with
twelvepenny nails. One-half of the
box is made so that 1t can be detached
and lifted eff when the mixer is to be
filed or emptied. The detachable half
is secured to the other half by means
of strong hooks so placed that by slip
ping this half about an inch to one
side all Of the hooks are loosened at
once After it is In position the re-
movable portion Is held In place by
means of a barn door latch.
The driving gear is simple, but very
effective. 1t consists Of the rim taken
buggy. With the tire removed the
grooved rim makes a very satisfactory
wheel upon which to run a three-quar-
ter inch rope belt. The belt is driven
by a small sheave pulley, which is fas-
tened to the countershaft. A belt
tightener is used upon the rope, and
by using a very loose belt the tight
enc is made to act as a friction clutch.
This particular mixer is driven by a
two horse gasoline engine. which is
belted to the countershaft The en-
CINE runs continuously, and the mixer
is started and stopped by means Of
the belt tightener.
Many other systems Of driving might
have been used in place Of the rope
belt. The main gear or an old self
binder makes an excellent gear for a
mixer. An old mower gear may also
be put to good use in this connection.
1t is not necessary to have the mixer
driven by an engine or horse power. A
crank may be attached and the ma
chine turned by hand. Many prefer
turning such a machine rather than
mixing the concrete with a shovel.

MIAMI
Miami Boy Slugged

William Weare, of Kansas City,
formerly of this city, a young man
% years old was assaulted Sunday
night and seriously injured while
e~scorting two ladies home from

East Ninth st. about midnight
when two coatless men came up
from behind. One of the men
stepped between Weare and the
woman, the other struck Weare
heavily across the right temple.
He fell moaning to the side
walk and the cries of the women
brought help. The young man was
carried into the doctors home
where 1t was found that his skull
was fractured. He was sent to

BUILDING A STONE FENCE.
Connecticut Farmer Tells How to util.
ize Rowlders That Are In the Way.

SonEtGCttCbt y dFFHoT tgtlb FIuW 10 OIu"
ize Bowlders That Are In the Way.
: One Of the most picturesque sights
In New England is the stone wall
fence. The utilization of loose stones,
which otherwise incumber the ground,
for the construction Of barriers neces-
sary to farm life used to be q leading
Industry in New England before the
advent of the barb wire fence. Even
now many farmers extend their stone
fences just to get rid of the rocks. And
there are plenty of rocks in other
parts of the country that can be used
to the anne useful purpose,
Here, however, is a brave farmer,
F. II. Plumb of Tolland county, Conn,
who goes further than picking up and
piling stones. He believes in breaking
up powders and using the fragments
for fence material. Says Mr.. Plumb:
An occasional bowlder here and
there in a level, fertile field ought not
to dishearten any robust, enthusiastic
farmer from breaking them up and
clearing them away. Dynamite, a
sledge, a few chains and a steady yoke
of oxen or team Of horses will work
wonders in a short time in many q
field.
A knowledge Of rocks, however, will
prove of great assistance before work
Of any kind with them is undertaken.
Some are apparently as hard as flint;
others Sc soft they can almost be
crushed between the fingers. Some
have a grain similar to a log so they
may be split by wedges and half
rounds quite straight and true. 9th
ers will hammer or split into all sorts
Of forms and sizes. But there are few
stones a stone mason cannot trim into
any form he desires.
II we closely examine a bowlder,
say, three to six feet long, we may no.

Homemade Device That 10 Useful on
the Farm.
OF interest to farmers who need
cement for any purpose. such as lay
ing floors or walks or making posts,
is a bulletin issued by the Colorado
experiment station which tells of mix
ing concrete by machinery and prints
the accompanying illustration of a
homemade mixer. which is described
thus:
Two pieces Of A by 6 form the stills.
Upon these two. uprights about three
feet high are fastened. A one and one-
half inch pipe passes through holes
bored in the top Of the uprights. Upon
this pipe the mixing box Is turned, and
through the pipe the water is added
to the mixture at the desired time.
The water is poured In at the top Of
the upright pipe and flows down and
out through holes which are drilled
in the lower side Of it. The other end
of the pipe is closed by a wooden plug.

Beef and Daily Cattle.

When a dairyman has faced the ac-
tual practice Of selling cows from his
herd for beef he win not feel encour-
aged over the outlook OF combining
beef and dairy qualities in the same
herd. There is a popular prejudice
against eating beef from an old, play
ed out dairy COW, and there is no i'd
vantage In trying to combine the two
qualities In one animal.

tice It has a grain it's entire length and
all the way through.
I noticed my stonemason would take
a drill twelve inches long and three
quarters Of an inch in diameter and,
with a two OF three pound hammer
mounted on a twenty inch handle, drill
a hole six inches deep in the bowlder
in a few minutes, depending on the
hardness Of the stone. Then along the
same seam of the rock another hole
was drilled, and perhaps another and
another, these holes being about six
inches apart
Half rounds and a wedge were then
inserted in each hole, the wedges gen.
tly started, and then the entire length
Of wedges driven home evenly by
means of a twelve pound sledge. With
this treatment the big hard rocks
seemed to generally split evenly and
straight through. If they did not, aft
er the rock was split a few heavy
blows with the big sledge would knock
of any protruding pieces.
But there is a knack in knocking a
stone to pieces or trimming the stone
with the side of a sledge hammer or Of
its cutting edge that takes time,
thought and observation to acquire.
My job was this: Extending easterly
along the roadway from my house was
an old tumble down wall that was the
most ulisightly place to my family on
the entire farm. The land inside the
wall is about ideal for a rank growth
Of timothy, and plenty Of stones Of all
sizes, from a pebble to enormous bowl
ders, were there.
The smaller powders, such as q
yoke OF cattle could draw on a stone
boat, and all the smaller stones the
boys and myself had picked off after
the blowing OF the past three springs
and hauled along the wall. OF course
this made the old wall look even worse
than before, and all sorts Of weeds
and brush began to grow up among it.
AS the wall lay, 1t was made up of
stones Of all sizes, many SO big they
had to be split or broken and used as
foundation pieces before work could
be begun.
Ordinarily for a new wall a strip is
plowed and dug put just below the
frost line. As my wall was only to be
rebuilt this was unnecessary, for / had
q good foundation.
My wall was laid with a straight
face On the road side, while on the
field side rough cobbles without a
straight face were set up at a slant of
about one foot to the four foot wall.
In no part of the wall were the
stones just thrown or dumped in. Ev-
cry stone was placed one at a time, no
matter how small, and SO placed that II
rested firmly on its base, with as little
tipping or looseness as possible.
A wall put up in this careful man
ner ought to last several generations.

CITY MEN FOR FARMS.
Many Would Make Good Hired Hands

They Had Chance.
Many farmers throughout the coun.
try find it a difficult matter to get
hired hands, while in the great cities
there are thousands of men out of
work. The problem of inducing some
Of the down and outs of city life to go
out on the farms is claiming the atten-
ton of social students.
A commission of the New York leg.
islature recently has been making an
inquiry into the matter, though 1t has
not taken up the subject exhaustively.
John Mitchell, the noted labor leader,
was present at one Of the sessions and
made suggestions.
The chief trouble seems to be that
those in the cities who are always
deep in poverty know nothing Of coun.
try life, seldom If ever having seen
the green fields. They were born to
their conditions and know nothing
else.
Thousands of these men, no doubt,
II they should be taken out and given
jobs on farms would return to the city
as soon as they earned money enough.
That is because the city sights and
sounds have become second nature to
them. They would pine for the filth
and furore Of their native element.
But, on the other hand, there is no
doubt that many men in the cities
would welcome a chance to get away
to the country for themselves and
their families and would develop into
excellent farm hands. The problem is
to put these men in touch with farm
ers who need them.
