The average dairyman OF 20 years
ago gave the sanitary floor or stall
little consideration In the construction
OF his COW stables. and used any meth
Cd Of building which pest suited his
individual ideas. He cared little about
the condition Of the COW at milking
time so long as she gave the milk.
The most Of the old dairy barns are
so arranged that II is impossible TO
keep COWS clean In them.
The floors now commonly found are

Dirt OF purse is very undesirable
since It affords an excellent harbor
for bacteria, insects and yermin. In
order TO maintain a sanitary stable

CONCRETE FLOORS MOST
DURABLE AND SANITARY
Material Is Also Recognized as Economical for Dairy
Stable Floors and Every Effort Should
BE Made TO Install Them.

In making a concrete floor be sure
that a substantial sub-base is secured.
Upon this spread three inches Of mixed
concrete. consisting Of part ce-
ment, "a parts clean, coarse sand.
and 5 parts broken stone or clean
gravel spread in one continuous layer.
Unless there is to be excessive wear
nc finishing coat is needed. II such
a coat seems desirable in the drive
ways 1t should be mixed l part ce'
ment and 2 parts sand. The finished
coat should be about three.fourths
OF an inch thick and laid off In 4inch
squares, the grooves about o%ne-fourth
inch deep. Finish a floor in this way
and horses pulling a load will not
slip and fall.
Stall mats should be constructed Of
seven-eighths inch lumber and so
placed in the stall that they may be
removed frequently to facilitate in
cleansing the stall, since 1t is quite
evident there will be a small amount
Of filth collecting from time to time,

Cork After Dinner Dancers.

A pretty little af%ter-dinner trick is
to make little dancing figures of bits
OF cork and tiny pieces of toothpick.
The base for them is a small hemis-
phere that can be made in a few mo-
ments by pinching and rolling a piece
Of tinfoil into the required shape. All
that is necessary is to see that it is
perfectly smooth and perfectly true in
shape.
Then crumble bits of cork roughly
into the shape of men and women or
animals, pinning the parts together
with slivers from ~toothpicks. With a
little ingenuity e~xceedinlyg ludicrous
hgure can be made. They may be
colored with a black end Of a burned
match.
Pin them IN the flat side of the tin
foil hemisphere and set it on the table
The little figures are so light that
the tinfoil will keep them upright all
the time. They may be laid Fat or
may be shaken in all directions; yet
they will always bob right ua again
and the resulting motions often are
very funny.

The Thankful Heart,

Oliver Wendell Holmes: If one

me there We're particles of iron in it |
might look for them with my eyes and
search for them with my clumsy fingers

me TAX a magnet and sweep through
1t, and how it would draw to itself the
most invisible particles by the mere
power of attraction! The unthankful
heart, like my finger in the sand, dis
covers no mercies, but let the thankful
heart sweep through the day as the
magnet finds the iron, so 1t will find
in every hour some heavenly blessings,
only the iron in Gods sand is gold.
