Life Under Pressure

The bed Of the Arctic seas IS very
fine and plastic. while IN the other
zones Of the Atlantic the bed is cover
ed with reddish mud and an accumu-
lation OF the remains Of animals that
lived in the surface waters. died and
slowly sank.
The pressure Of these increases
about one atmosphere to nearly every
80 feet, so every additional $50 feet
adds the pressure Of ten atmospheres.
When deep-sea fishes are brought TO
the surface they lose their scales, their
teguments become brittle. and they
are 50 inflated by internal distensson
caused by the lessened pressure that
IN many cases they burst asunder.

CUSTER COUNTY MAN GETS AL
GOOD ONE FOR si6
George Bishop Has the Thing All
Figured Out For Every item
ef Expense.
BY GEORGE BISHOP

I So many al as farmers back MP at
the mention Of anything to be built
of concrete because We feel the ex-
pense to be greater than We can az
ford II you have sand or gravel
pit within five or six miles. a floor
may be built with a small outlay Of
money We visited a farmer near
Thomas, Custer county. short time
ago who vas using a feed aoor built o
material which cost him nothing but
the hauling and he told me the cost
q the cement and the labor amounted
to about sixteen dollars.
For those living near any Of the
trunk line railroads running across
the state it would be well TO see what
the finely ground chats used by the
sidewalk builders would cost laid
down at your station Almost any
contractor in any town can tell you.
We have used two cars OF this ma.
terial Oh our own farm and know that
you can get nothing which viii work
better Ours cost fifteen cents a ton
I, 0. b. Joplin, Mo, and seven cents
hundred freight You have TO have
an eighty thousand car to get the
seven cent rate. For smaller cars they
charge eleven cents. There may be-
better rates now This was shipped
to Rocky Washita county AT this
rate the car, freight and all, cost
slxty-two dollars laid down at our sta.
ton A car Of this capacity holds
about thirty yards, figuring it to
weigh the same as sand.
Thirty cubic yards figures to cover
space Of twentyfour hundred and
thirty square feet four inches deep
This further figures to make four
twenty by thirty feed floors, with
thirty square feet to spare. But since
Il is better to have trench six or
eight inches deep, to be filled lit and
built in with the feed floor on the
outer edge, for strength and to. keep
the rats out we will play safe and
say an eighty thousand car will make
three twenty by thirty feed floors. II
you get the finely ground chats, you
will need no sand
Just put in cur cement in a proper
ton Of one to seven and mix it thor
oughly Build a layer three to three
and half feet wide at time. And
for each layer after you have troweled
il down, throw on some dry cement
and with aid OF sufficient water
trowel it into the surface, We have
a feed room in our barn finished in
this way and il has been in nse i've
years and hasn't blemish in it. A
feed floor should have a slope Of six
inches for each ten feet. and if we
had ours 10 build over, we would
slope It toward the east. Some have
them built out in the open, but we
have ours protected On two sides, thu
north and west.
