MANY USES FOR CEMENT.
Utilized in 453 Articles and Types
of Construction.

Cement is used in practically every kind
of construction work carried on. Last
fall a subcommittee of the Chicago AS
ISOLATION of Commerce submitted re-
port showing that its investigation had
disclosed the fact that cement was used
in 453 articles and types Of construction.
Every kind of building, from a chicken
coop to the modern skyscraper, is now
made of cement, sa5 the Chicago Tri-
bune.
A large percentage of the output is now
being used in the rural districts. 1t has
been found to be an excellent paving for
roads. Farmers are using it to construct
dairy buildings and silos. 1t has replaced
wood as a material for the little rural
bridges which span small streams. Drain
tile also are made from it.
For purposes of characterization it Is
used for garden furniture, statues, lamp
posts and fancy coping, balustrades and
pergolas. Its lasting quality for struc-
lures under water has been demonstrated
in the building of canals, docks and even

Farmers are often accused OF being
chronic grumblers. don't know about
the chronic part but am learning that
they have a great many things to
grumble about.
There's rain. for instance. When
there has been a long dry spell and it
is hot town folks sometimes wish in
casual way that 1t would rain. to cool
things off. They're more likely to
complain when it does rain, especially
if 1t spoils an outing or prevents n
ball game. But to the farmer rain is
ton putting hard dollars into or TAX
ing them out of his pocket. That's
why he Srumbles so much about the
weather. 1t is not often the rain Is so
distributed as to meet the requirements
of every farmer. and not infrequenuy
it's distribution is such as to meet the
needs of none.
It's been very much that way this
year In late March and through April
there was so much rain and the ground
continued so wet and cold that plow-
ing was delayed from two weeks to a
month. At last crops were planted. and
then, for a long time, it declined to
rain at all Some seeds refused to
sprout. Others sprouted and the tender
young plants burned up or dried up. In
consequence much replanting had to
be done. there was a general shortage
lost or cut down and many poor stands
of corn resulted

Tired Of Eating Eggs.

Tired of Eating Eggs.
We haven't enough eggs to sell ito try
handling them drought any of the
regular trade channels, so Jane is en-
deavoring to use them up at home.
Early in the season. when fresh-laid
eggs were more or less of a novelty
and my appetite for them was keen. I
deemed myself lucky to get two for
breakfast. Jane wanted to turn as many
of them possible into cash, and the
men at the office We're clamorins for
eggs. Now, Jane tries to get me to
eat half dozen or so at the morn
ing meal. and the result is that l have
lost my liking for eggs almost entire

fresh vegetables, and mo one offers

table entirely. We have all the peas.
beans. heets. onions and radishes we
can use, and pretty soon sweet corn
and lima beans will be ready. We
have had several messes. of new po-
tatoes. but they are very small and 1t
no doubt is poor economy to use them.
Besides, I always have heard that par
TALLY developed potatoes were not
healthful.
The slowness with which tomatoes
ripen is an aggravatfon l am now ex-
periencing. l have green ones on my
vines as large as apples, but it be-
gins to seem as if they never will turn
red There is generation old dispute
as to whether a tomato is a vegetable
or a fruit Whichever 1T is, it is my
favorite of the species, and 1 am going
to do some reveling when my own are
ready to use. The tomato patch is be-
ginning to take on quite an ornamental
appearance. l am pruning and train
ing them to stakes. and the rate at
which the vines grow is caution.

The heifer calf which we bought with
the COW is likely to depart soon from
our midst. 1t originally was our inten-
ton to raise her, but the other day a
nearby farmer offered Jane $25 for the
little animal and she is going to accept
the offer just as soon as she can win
Margery's consent. The calf had en-
joyed only a just share of Margerys
affections until the matter Of sale came
up All at once it became her favorite

of sale. Jane thinks Margery will get
over it soon, but if she doesn't I'm afraid
that S25 will never find its. way into

Rain Caused Rejoicing.

Farmers were getting desperate
when, about two weeks ago, it began
to rain. There was rejoicing through
out the land. Everybody was happy in
anticipation of reasonably abundant,
though late. crops.
But Old Man Pluvius after turning on
the rain cocks apparently went away on
vacation trip, forgetting to turn them
off. 1t didn't rain continuously, but it
rained some every day. This was all
from baking and there was plenty Of
sunshine between showers to keep the
crops growing. But it kept the weeds
growing also. and after a while. when the
ground became too wet to cultivate, 1t
got to be a question whether the weeds
would not evict the crops and enter into
full possession 1 took two afternoons off
from the office and went home to do bat

l suppose. at that, 1 oughtn't to be
growing. for my troubles are as nothing
compared to those Of some of my neigh
bors. Wheat growers out in our country
had the finest stand of grain in years.
On many of the best farms it looked as
if the harvest would average thirty bush
els to the acre. Some of the wheat had
been cut and great deal was still stand
ing when the heavy rains began. There
wasn't much choice, so far as damage

Wheat standing in the fields became
