BENEFIT BY USING CONCRETE
Farmer Adds Both Comfort and Safe
ty, Besides Saving Money-cem-
ent 10 Not Large Item.
By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)

By WALTER B. LEUTZ)
Safety, economy and utility are the
prime considerations in silo building
and on all of these points farmers are
finding themselves gamers from the
use of concrete. Concrete structures
are much safer and in the long run
are more economical. The original
cost Is about the same as for silos of
other materials If the farmer Is able
to do the work with his regular force.
When the durability and lessened risk
are considered it is seen that the con-
crete construction is economical in
almost all circumstances. The con-
crete silo is sanitary and preserves
the fodder in satisfactory way. This
fact has been demonstrated by gov
ernment tests.
Farmers. who have not studied the
subject Of concrete construction will
do we'll to take 1t up. In most cases
the material will be cheaper and
handler than lumber. 1t is of high
value for walks, dairy floors, milk
houses, watering troughs and steps,
as we'll as for general architectural
work.
Where the farmer is able to supply
the sand and gravel without much
expense and has time to perform the
labor Of construction, or at least to

CAPTIVE IN MUSIc's SPELL
Quail In No Uncertain Mood When He
Heard the Call Of tho
Notes.

"A baby quail was captured and
brought to the house. The large cage
provided for him stood upon a square
Of oilcloth, and this was little Bob
Whites ranch. Here were his food,
his basin Of water, and the sandpile
where he took his daily dust-bath. The
door Of his house was always open,
but he seldom wandered beyond the
limits Of his own domain.
"One thing invariably tempted this
little recluss to venture forth: this
was the sound Of music. Like a small
boy racing after the band. the mo-
ment the tones Of the piano reached
his quick ear. he started on q run.
and the quick pat-patting of his tiny
feet announced his approach. He
would circle about the plano and, with
fiuff-fuff of his short wings, mount
to the keyboard. The little square cor
ner at It's end was his opera chair.
where he cuddled down contentedly as
long as the music continued, at times
expressing his appreciation by a con-
tented. soft. purring sound."-Subur-

The two chief houses of the later
period repeat several features of the
Cnossian and Phaestian palaces, not
ably pillared halls and store-rooms
with great Jars ranged round their
walls. The larger living-rooms seem
to have had finely frescoed walls.
Many fragments Of their decorations
have been recovered and are now
pieced together to show groups of
Minoan ladies, warriors in procession,
and fan-bearing slaves.
OF the furniture, besides the bronze
vessels already alluded to, painted
vases In great variety have been
found, among which are very good ex-
amples Of that use of natural vege-
table forms for stylistio ornament
which is characteristic of the early
Late Minoan period; and some ves-
sells In stone also have been unearthed
of which one. slender vase in black
obsidian, of exquisite form and admir-
able symmetry, once more fills us
with astonished envy of the capacities
of Cretan craftsmanship. That such
a material as this volcanic glass
could be turned with truth by work
men who had no tools but of stone
or soft bronze would never be be-
lieved, had we not this vase and some
early vessels in Egypt to- prove the
fact. The process must have been al
most as slow as process Of nature!
One remarkable statuette In bronze
has rewarded the Ephor's labors. 1t
shows a male figure, clad in belted
lion-cloth with frontal flap, and stand

is probably an adorant of the Cretan
goddess. Many similar figures in
similar attitudes have been found else
where in the island, notably in the

There Is no need for any farmer
to keep on farming in the same old
haphazard way. A course at his state
agricultural college will fill him with
a strong desire to farm in the more
modern way-the way which brings
success. Plan to spend a few weeks
or months, If possible, at the college
this winter.

courses for those farmers, young and
old, who cannot be away from home

Lexington, Ky.-Since its organiza'
tion In 1906, the Blue Grass Fair has
taken full rank with the largest and
the best of the state fairs and exposi.
tions of the country. 1t has very just
ly become known as the largest hol So
show In the world. 1t is the only fair
which offers full quota and classi-
fication for breeding classes of the
three great breeds Of American
horses, as well as show classes, sim
plified and arranged in a manner
which makes their distinction clear.
Pitched on a larger and more extern
sive scale than ever before, with the
certainty of increased interest on ac.
count of various added features, this
years fair promises to eclipse all pre-.
vious records.
Numerous additions and improve
ments have been made In the matter
of show rings, and amusements have
been secured of kind and to an ex-
tent that justify the belief that the
fair will not only prove more valuable
of Kentucky, but also more attractive
b those who visit 1t. In addition to
che weanling and yearling divisions
of the great Saddle Horse Futuritv.
three stakes are offered in the show
classes for saddle horses.
Attractive Program Each Day.
One of the most attractive pro-
grams for the week will be on We'd
aesday, when the classes for standard
bred horses will be shown.
In addition to the cash premiums
offered, seasons to the leading horses
in service are donated by various own
ers and should attract the attention
of the entire horse world.
The fair will open on Monday, Aug.
IL, at 2 p. m, when an attractive rae
ing program has been arranged, in
teresting show rings will be seen, and
Liberati's Great Band and Concert
company, with some of the best solo,
lists and grand opera singers known
to the musical world will be here.
Six singers in costume will be heard
in front of the grand stand every
evening, and there is great treat in
store for the music loving public of /
the Blue Grass region.
The management of the fair, believ- |
ing that the public demand a change |
from the old carnival line, have de-
cided to put on a high class vaude-
vile show, every act headliner, six
big acts for one admission. A bill as
good as can be seen in any high class
vaudeville house in the country. An
entire change of program and players
on Thursday, Aug. IA, two perform
ances daily.
On Tuesday. the 18th, the big mule

ture of the Blue Grass Fair, will be
