A Second JnO ID. 'Tis Said

! Claude Pemberton, of Eliza
BEETHOVEN, KY, is congratulating
the Cavalry kind of horses at his
congenial quarters in Hardin
county.
Three carloads were success
fully shipped by this merry mer-
chant last week and others are
to follow in cavaIry-like and con-
tinuous consecution.
Mr.. Pemberton probably does
more real "hoss" business than
any dealer in the State, yet the
long horn laity little realizes the
mammoth magnitude of his COM
mercial contracts, due probably
to the air-like absence of noisy
narration that follows in the
wake of less progressive survey
ors.
No horse has a value too high
for him to buy, nor reputation to
ethereal for, his enthusiastic
ownership, as witness the past
purchase of Hazel Dawn and
Bourbon Prince. Most all other
dealers are as proud as a pretty
Polly with purpled plumage Ger
their cavalry contracts, yet curl
GUS Claude, like the constantly
dripping waters, calmly continues
to cater to the congenerous con-
noisseurs, and, while you little
know it, has accumulated a bulg-
ing bank roll in the form of

In general, the framing of the forms
is similar to that of shallow pits. If
the earthen walls stand firm, only an
inside form will be needed. Other.
wise, build an outer form. For the
forms use 1-inch siding on 2 by 4 inch
studding spaced 2 feet 8 inches.
These uprights need not be cut to
exact lengths. Save lumber by allow
ing them to extend above the siding.

lieu of cash, and every family requires
eggs as a daily diet The result is
that the output from the poultry plant
can be disposed Of almost anywhere
and in any quantity, no matter how
small. If there is no demand for the
chicken as broiler, which Is often the
case, it can be kept few weeks or
months longer, Of course at an in
crease in cost, but with a sufficient
increase in quantity and possibly quail
ity to more than pay for the care. If
market is not ready to take the
goods, they can be held until the mar
ket does get ready, and the delay need
not cause a loss to the producer.
Should a poultryman so desire, he
can sell out at market prices with
little loss at almost any season Of the
year.
With squads, however, the case Is
somewhat different. Unless they are
killed within limited time they de-
preciate not only in weight but in
value, and must be sold as pigeons in
stead Of squads. The professional
breeder may use these to increase the
loft, but in that case the surplus birds
go into stock instead of cash. This
increase in stock naturally demands
an increase in equipment, which I'M
der some circumstances might be ad-
visable; but the producer who hasn't
his market near by, and unless he is in
a position to guarantee delivery of
certain quantity Of his product at GER
tain intervals, is working under very

For maintaining or restoring the
fertility of the fields there is nothing
better than barnyard manure. BY the
ordinary methods of piling manure on
the ground or storing it in wooden
pens or boxes, 80 to so per cent OF
it's fertility is lost, according to the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture.
This loss is brought about in two
ways: First, by teaching or Washlng
due to heavy rains; second, by fer
mentation or heating caused by lack
of sufficient. moisture. Since concrete
pits are waterproof, manure may be
kept in them as moist as may be
necessary and such an enormous
waste in the fertility of the manure
may thus be entirely prevented. One
load Of manure from a concrete pit
is worth IL to 2 loads of manure as
usually stored Moreover, with con-
crete pits the supply Of manure is
increased by all the liquid manure,
the richest part, from the barn gut
ters and feeding floors.
Shallow manure pits do very well
where the manure can be frequently
hauled to the fields. The walls and
floor should be inches thick. The
clear dimensions Of the pit are:
Depth, 3 feet; width, 6 feet; length,
12 feet Dig the trench feet inches
deep by feet 10 inches by IL feet
10 inches. By keeping the sides YER
tical only an, inside form will be
needed. Frame the sides and ends
separately. For the sides cut the
Inch siding IL feet long and nail
it to the four by inch uprights 3
feet long and equally spaced. The end
uprights for the sides are by inch
pieces nailed fiat to the siding; the
others are also by 4 but are nailed
On edge. It is not necessary to cut
these uprights to exact lengths; they
may be allowed to extend above the
siding. Make the siding for the end
sections Of the form 5 feet inches
long and at the ends nail it to the
edge of two by inch uprights.
Place a single by upright between
each end pair. Cut four cross braces,
to 10 inches long, from by inch
timbers. Have enough sections Of
woven-wire fencing, ~ feet long, to
cover the bottom of the pit.
Set up the forms on the finished
floor so as to allow a 5-inch wall on
all sides. Join them by mailing to-
gether the 2 by As at the corners of
the sides and ends. Do not drive the
nails home. Cross-brace with by As
and with 1-inch boards from each CEN
trail end upright to the second side up
right.
Quickly begin filling the forms with
concrete almost wet enough to pour,
and keep it practically the same
height on all sides. Puddle the con-
crete by running a long paddle up
and down next to the form. Do not
punch the earthen wall. Dirt in the
concrete may make a poor wall. II

Rheumatic Throat
Is Common Trouble
Should Be Treated in Blood
To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness in the throat, but to prevent their
incessant return, the blood must be put In
order. The best remedy is S. s. s., as 1t
influences all the functions of the body to
neutralize the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their eXcretion through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat is a dangerous
indication, as it means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
neys can excrete and may thus lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action of S. S. S. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the accumulation Of
irritants in local spots. 1t enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-out tissue.
For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to its breaking down
influence, is scattered and eliminated. In
other words, S. S. S. prevents chronic con-
ditions by enabling all the mucous Innings
of the body to secrete healthy mucus. Its
influence is shown in a marked improve
ment of the bronchial tubes, whereby the
huskiness of voice with thick, grayish eX-
pectorations is overcome. S. S. s., we'll
diluted with water, means a blood Datn,
since it is welcome to any stomach ana a5
once gets into the blood.
s. s. S. is free of all minerals and con!
tains ingredients wonderfully conducive TO
well-balanced health.
You can get it at any drug store but do
not accept anything else. There is danger
in substitutes. s. S. S. is prepared only by

Waste of Barnyard Manure.

crumble, hold it back with 1-inch
boards braced against the forms. To
keep out floor water, the pit may be
extended 6 inches above the ground by
using the lower half of a 1-foot board
to hold back the dirt, by allowing the
remainder to project above the ground
level, and by adding inches to the
height Of the inside form. Remove
the forms after the concrete has set
four days by first drawing the nails
in the corner by As. The pit may
be used after 10 days.
Where the manure must be stored
for considerable length of time,
larger pits or basins are required.
Such pits are seldom made over feet
deep and are wide enough so that the
manure may be loaded On a spreader
in the pit and drawn up a roughened
concrete incline or run. The slope for
such a run must not be sleeper than
1 foot up to feet out.
In building a manure basin use a
team with plow and scraper to make
an earthen pit in which to build a
concrete basin of the clear dimensions
shown. In laying out the earthen pit,
bear in mind that the concrete walls
and floor are inches thick and make
due allowance for the same. With a
spade trim the sides and the deep end
vertical.

Poker Kills $1,000 Whale.

The crew of the oil steamer Cali
fornia were happy on reaching port
because they had captured a whale
and found ambergris worth $1,000.
A school of playful whales followed
the vessel up the coast, and, having
nothing else to do. the crew tried to
capture one bull in the wake of the
ship. There was no harpoon aboard

ker's poker that resembled crowbar

When the carcass was hauled aboard

Pioneer in Medicine,

DR.. Thomas Jefferson Heard, who
gained distinction in the medical pro-
fession by being one of the first to in
troduce the use Of quinine in the treat
ment of fevers in the South, was born
100 years ago in Morgan county,
Georgia. In 1927 he began the prac-
tise Of medicine in Texas. He was
one of the organizers and first presi-
dent Of the Texas Medical association,
and for many years was a member Of
the faculties of the Galveston Medical
school and the University of Louisi-
ana. He was an extensive contributor
10 the medical journals, and was re-
garded as an authority on the treat
ment of tropical diseases.

under them. To prevent bulging
cross-brace the forms with by inch
timbers. Begin filling with concrete,
as for shallow manure pits, and do not
stop until the job is completed.
Lay the floor for the bottom and the
incline the same as for shallow pits
To give teams a sure footing on the
incline, embed in the concrete the
turned-up ends of iron cleats bent at
right angles, similar to capital u.
Old wagon tires, cut in lengths not
greater than 20 inches and turned up
inches at each end, will do. Leave
1 inch clearance between the cleats
and the concrete, and set them so as
not to obstruct the wheelway. Space
the cleats IA to 16 inches. Roughen or
corrugate the bottom crosswise every
6 inches by using 5-foot length of
2 by 4 inch scantling beveled length
wise to the shape Of a carpenters
chisel. To make the corrugations, set
the timber with the beveled face to-
ward the incline. Strike the by

Cutter for SiIage.
There are on the market several
makes of silage cutters that will give
satisfaction, according to Farmers
Bulletin 578, issued by U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The capacity
of the machine is an important consiG-
GRAFTON which should not be over
looked by the purchaser. Many per-
sons make the mistake of getting a
cutter which is too small, thus ma
king the operation of filling the silo
very slow and interfering with the
continuous employment of the entire
force Of men.
1t is better to get machine large
enough so that every one will be able
to keep busy all the time. The larger
cutters are equipped with self-feeders,
a labor-saving device which the small
Ter sizes lack Other factors to be
taken into account in purchasing a
cutter are the amount Of work to be
done and the power available. OF
course, for the filling of a very small
silo it would not be wise to buy a
large machine. Neither would it be
advisable to overload the engine or
motor by using cutter which is too
large for the power available.
Two types of silage elevators are
In us-the old-style chain carrier and
the blower. The chain carrier re.
quires less power, but is harder to set
up and there is more litter when 1t fs
used, especially in windy weather.
For these reasons the blower ia now
fast displacing the carrier.
The blower should be placed as
nearly perpendicular as possible so as
to reduce to the minimum the friction
of the cut corn upon the inside Of the
pipe and lessen the danger of clog
ging.
The usual length of cutting varies
from one-half to inch. The latter is
considered little too long, since
pieces Of this length will neither pack
SO closely in the silo nor be so com
pletely consumed when fed as the
shorter lengths. On the other hand,
the longer the pieces the more rapidly
can the corn be run through the cut
ter.
