Concrete Floor For Cow Stables

A Kentucky dairyman asks: us 4
concrete floor injurious to cows in
winter? I am thinking of putting in
a cement floor, and wish to know if
the cows are liable to have rheuma-
tism or sore feet from lying or stand
ing on this kind of floor, and are they
apt to hurt themselves by slipping
down."
We are of the opinion that the ce-
ment floor is all right, provided
enough bedding is used under the
cows, but II bedding is scarce, as is
sometimes the case where small
grains are not grown. we would ad-
wise that the cement floor extend only
about one foot back from the manure
gutter and the remainder of the floor
under the cows be Of clay. This. if
properly cared for. makes a very fair
floor, but of course cannot be wash ed
like the cement could. Sawdust or
shavings makes a good bedding on a
cement floor. and in fact we have had
no serious trouble in using cement
floors il bedding of any kind was
used. The following clipping from
Hoard's Dairyman gives new
method OF making cement floors that
might be interesting:
Put down foundation OF one
part cement, five parts sand and six
TO eight parts stone. Smooth the
surface, and lay upon it one layer OF
tar paper and then a coat of tar paint.
Continue this until three thicknesses
OF paper and two of paint have been
used. Into this soft concrete and
through the paper drive spikes, let
ting them project above the paper
three-quarters OF an inch. Then put
down one to four mixtures of cement
and sand thick enough TO cover the
spikes. Lay upon this = sheet OF
metal lath or fine chicken wire, and
cover this with one and one-fourth
inches of one to three mixture IL
wet sand is used, or a one to four
mixture. If the sand is perfectly dry.
After the cement has begun to set.
rough the surface with broad
trowel, putting on the much desired
sand paper finish. The reinforcement
suggested would not be necessary for
ordinary strain. 1t would be advisa-
BILE, however, under cows or horses
when one wishes to economize, to use
the thin coat of two ircies.-South-
ern AGriculturist.

Raw Eczeni. ON Hands.

had eczema on my hands Tor ten
years. lad three good doctors but
none OF them did any good. I then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles OF Cuticura Re-
solvent and was completely cured. My
hands were raw all over, inside and
out, and the eczema was spreading all
over my body and limbs Before had
used one bottle, together with the
Cuticura Ointment, my sores were
nearly healed over, and by the time I
had used the third bottle, 1 was en-
tirely we'll. To any one who has any
skin or blood disease would honestly
advise them to fool with nothing else,
but to get Cuticura and get we'll. My
hands have never given me the least
bit OF trouble up to now.
My daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment ano in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
OF my family and 1t always proved
successful. Mrs. M. E. Falin. Speers

A Generous Gift.

Professor Munyon has Just issued a most
beautiful, useful and complete almanac. 1t
contains not only all the scientific informa-
ton concerning the moons phases, in all
the ATTITUDES, but has illustrated articles on
how to read character by phrenology,
palmistry and birth month. 1t also tells
all about card reading, birth stones and
their meaning and gives the Interpretation
of dreams. 1t teaches beauty culture, mani
curing, gives weights and measures and
antidotes for poison. In fact. it is a Maga-
zine Almanac: that not only gives valuable
information, but will afford much amuse-
ment for every member of the family es-
pecially for parties and evening entertain
ments. Farmers and people in the rural
districts will find this Almanac almost in
valuable.

The County Fair.

The county agricultural fair is one
OF the greatest educators that can be

breed of product, and in growth, cul-

method Of comparison that we are

of major general, commandant of the
Marine Corps, for a period of four years
and for the detail of officers from the
line to the position Of adjutant and in
spector. Whatever lack of discipline
exists in the corps. the Secretary says
was found to be due in great part to a
too long tenure Of office All construc-
ton work heretofore done by the quar-
termaster's department of the corps has
yards, and docks of the Navy Department
under the belief that better and more
economical results would be secured.
The Secretary also says he has conclud-
ed that the marines should be stationed
at two principal posts, one on the Allan
tic and the other on the Pacific coast,
small police details only being assigned tc
the various navy yards: This arrange
ment, he says, would afford better train
ing to the officers and men in times of
peace and greater concentration and more
rapid embarkation when their services
are desired.
The Secretary renews the recommenda.
ton that legislation be enacted for the
establishment of q naval reserve Of Of
ficers and men and expresses approval of
House bill 17759, designed to promote the
efficiency of the naval militia He also
renews the recommendation that $4,000
be appropriated to provide an appropri-
ate crypt or mausoleum for the remains
Of John Paul Jones at the Naval Acad-
envy. He suggests the enactment of leg
islation to provide for the retirement of
midshipmen injured or incapacitated
while serving the two-year probationary
The passage of the bill before Congress
providing for graded retirement Of en-
listed men also is recommended in the
general interest of the service.

use Of the new discovery. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets
He says: 1.-THE patient was a man who had
suffered. to my knowledge, for years with dys-

create gases in the stomach He had pains like
rheumatism in the back shoulder blades and
limbs. fullness and distress after eating, poor
appetite and loss of flesh: the heart became at
fected. causing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night
II gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood
remedies. but to no purpose. As an experiment
l finally bought a 5Ocent package of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at "a drug store and gave
them to him. Almost immediate relief was
given ard after he had used four boxes he was
to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour, watery
risings, no boating after meals. the appetite
was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and
IL pounds in weight Of solid. healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ad-
| vertised and sold in drug stores, yet consider
them a most valuable addition to any physician
line OF remedies as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or invalids or in
any condition Of the stomach with perfect
safety. being harmless and containing nothing
