CEMENT FEED FLOORS BEST
More Expensive Than Others, But Pay
for Difference In Comparative
ly Short Period.

The writer constructed a floor 20x2O
feet last September and has been US
ing 1t almost constantly and with the
greatest satisfaction. Though 1t cost
about two weeks Of hard labor and $15
in cash / almost feel that l have a re-
turn for my outlay both In labor and
cash already, says a writer in an ex-
change. Am quite sure / have saved
SIS worth Of feed and believe the ex-
ira labor in carrying out corn, a
basket at a time, through the deep
mud to a dry muddy spot through
all that bad weather would have al
most equaled the labor of building the
floor. But more than this is the sat
fsfaction Of feeding in this clean and
handy way, which car only be appre-
ciated by trying 1t.
Our floor val made right beside the
cribs, in what had been a hog wallow.
Stones were gathered from the fields
and laid in the bottom. These were
covered and leveled by smaller stones
and coarse gravel, then a thick layer
Of concrete (eight parts of gravel to
one Of cement), then the surface coat
Of four or five parts Of coarse sand to
one part Of cement, the concrete be-
ing forced to the bottom on all sides
to prevent rat invasion. After remov-
ing the board forms, posts were set
on three sides and the same wide
boards were nailed on the inside to the
posts, fitting down to the floor. Thus
Enclosed no feed is rooted off the floor,
and the cobs and other waste need not
be cleaned off so often. With bins on
n or more sides all cobs and manure
can easily be scooped into the same
and saved. The floor should be slight
ly lower at one corner for drainage.
While constructing our floor posts
were set in the middle, so we could d.
vide 1t for pigs and hogs, which makes
it very convenient, always having a
clean, dry, handy place to slop and
feed the pigs, and also a place to pen
them up quickly for any kind of treat
ment

Modern journalism.

Arthur Brisbane, the editor, praised
at a dinner in New York. the educa-
tive value of moving pictures.
But of course he said afterwards.
"the moving picture will never equal
the newspaper as an educative force.
THE newspaper not only reports
news-in dull seasons II makes news
as well. A famous editor put this
news-making feature very neatly be-
fore a cub reporter when he said:
of a dog bites a man II isn't news,
But, II a man bites a dog, It Is. When.
ever you can't find a man biting a dog,
go and bite one yourself"

Woman's Beauty is

How Best to Obtain 1t.

To Have Health, Bowel Move
ment Is Absolutely Necessary
How Best to Obtain 1t.
If woman's beauty depended
upon cosmetics every woman
would be a picture of loveliness.
But beauty lies deeper than that.
1t lies in health. In the major
ity of cases the basis of health,
and the cause of sickness, can be
traced to the action of the bow
els.
The headaches, the lassitude,
the sallow skin and the lusterless
eyes are usually due to constipa-
ton. So many things that women
do habitually conduce to this
trouble. They do not eat care
fully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the par
ticular cause may be it is import
ant that the condition should be
corrected.
An ideal remedy for women,
and one especially suited to their
delicate requirements, is DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which
thousands of women endorse
highly, among them Mrs. Nora
Robertson, 1876 S. 18th St., Lin
coin, Neb., and Mrs. Ann e. Ed
wards, Correctionville, Ia, who
have it constantly in the house to
meet such emergencies. All the
family can use Syrup Pepsin, for
thousands of mothers give it to
babies and children. 1t is also
admirably suited to the require
ments of elderly people, in fact to
all who by reason of age or mfr
nifty cannot stand harsh salts,
cathartics, pills or purgatives.
These should always be avoided
for at best their effect is only for
that day, while genuine remedy
like Syrup Pepsin acts mildly but
permanently.
1t can be conveniently obtained
