BUILDING A CONCRETE WALL
Convenient Method of Constructing
Windbreak for Stock Is Given
In Detail and Illustrated.

A very convenient way to build a
wall for a backyard fence, or for a
windbreak for stock. is described by
Cement Age. The wall is built up in
panel sections, about II feet long, with
a foundation extending three feet in
the earth. Supporting one end of this
panel, and built up at the same time.
is large concrete post. The other
end of the panel is keyed into the
mortise in a similar large post nodded
at the previous operation. as shown
in the sketch.
The forms for the panel are simply
two Independent walls of one-inch sid
ing fastened on uprights of two by
four inch material, spaced about two
feet apart. The mold for the post is
a box open on one face and at both
ends. The open side butts against
the end supports of the panel forms.

When All animal presents an abnor.
NAL condition of health there must
exist a cause. but too often the ener-
gies of the keeper are bent so much
on finding a cure that the disturbing
cause is entirely neglected
For scours in pigs there must be d
cause Scours being merely d symp-
tom. The condition exists inside the
digestive tract. 1t is doubtless a con
dition of qualification resulting in the
generation of poisons destructive TO
the food before it can be assimilated.
To find a cure potent enough to kill
and expel the germs of qualification
from the digestive tract, and still not
injure the animal. is necessary, but by
all means the keeper should endeavOr
to discover what caused the presence
of the germs in the first place.
Everyone has heard of cases of pto-
maine poisoning and doubtless all
have experienced cases of sour stom-
ach; between these extremes there
are many types of fermentation that
may infest the digestive tract.
Ptomaine poisoning implies and
demonstrates heterogeneous article
upon which to work What is called

1t is well recognized among physi-
clans and chemists that when organic
heterogeneous compounds break up the
simpler compounds are much more
noXious as a rule than those given of

drate.
From what has been said it may be
easily deduced that when oil meal

would be more serious than il the ma

she bent her wheel-chair to her daugh-

Grace Noir came forward with quiet
resolution. Let me speak to your

Mrs. Gregory handed her the tube,
somewhat surprised, since Grace made
II q point of conscience seldom to talk
to the old lady. When Grace Noir
disapproved Of any one, she did not
think it right to conceal that fact.
Since Mrs. Jefferson absolutely re-
fused to attend religious services, al
leging as excuse that she could not
hear the sermon, refusing to offer up
the sacrifice of her fieshly presence
as an example to others-Grace disap-
proved most heartily.
Mrs. Jefferson held her head to the
trumpet shrinkingly, as II afraid of
getting her ear tickled.
Grace spoke quietly, but distinctly.
as she indicated Fran-"You know
how hard II is to get a good servant In
Littleburg." Then she returned the

say.

Lace DESIGNS From Spider Webs.

Missionaries in Paraguay more than
200 years ago taught the native In
dams to make lace by hand Since
that day the art has greatly develop
ed, and In certain of the towns lace
making is the chief occupation. AL
most all the women. many children.
and not a few men are engaged in this
industry.
A curious fact with reference to
the Paraguayan laces is that the de-
signs were borrowed from the strange
webs woven by the semitropical spi-
ders that abound in that country. Ac-
cordingly this lace Is by the natives
called nanduti. which means spider
web."-Haxper's Weekly.

Pays to Save Manure.

Nitrogen is worth at least eight

Is tons of manure and litter a year,
containing 1870 pounds of nitrogen. At
eight cents a pound, the value of that
manure is 5000. 1t pays to save it..
Experiments have shown that liquid
and solid manures when kept together
deteriorate much more rapidly. Also
the more compact the manure is stor-
ID away from the weather. the least
loss will result. Here is hint for
