Americans find it more difficult than
the English to understand what Dick.
ems means when he says in "Da-
vid Copperfeld:" Women went
clicking along the pavement in pat
tens Pattens were an abbreviated
form of stills. The word is also
used by builders as the name Of the
base of a column or pillar, and so,

port used by a woman to keep her out
of the water and mud. From this
architectural use has come the second
airy application of the word, meaning
an arrangement attached to the shoe.
so that the walker is raised three or
four inches above the solid earth. II
the mud and water did NOT exceed that
depth, the shoes were thus kept fairly
dry. 1t appears that pattens were not
worn solely by the rich, but were luxu-
ries INDUCED in by the very poor. In
speaking of person who was
not especially speedy, Ben JoRson uses
the comparison, you make no more
haste now than a beggar upon pat
tens" In the ballad of Farmers Old
Wife" occurs this startling expression:
"She up with her pattens, and beat
out their brains"

the cases and the cases inverted. 1t is
necessary to allow the bottles to cool

order to prevent breakage, as well as
to avoid warming the milk. A bot
Ting table OF small bother may be
used in bottling the milk. A WELDON

storing the bottled milk until it is lie

In constructing a refrigerator, prop
er insulation is extremely important in
order TO maintain a low temperature
and to use ice economically. Either
cork board or waterproof lath makes
very efficient insDlation. These ma
terials can be Gtained In sheets II
inches wide, 80 inches long and 2
inches thick. These sheets can be ap-
piled In the same way as lumber, and
hence are very convenient to use. "A

on the ground, should have the floor
insulated with two inches of this ma

requirements very well. A wooden
floor is very unsatisfactory because it
Is not durable, does not dry quickly,
collects filth, and when wet is slippery
and hard to work on. The floors
should have good slope leading to
drains fitted with proper traps.
Water SuppIy.-An abundance of
clean, cold, running water is neces-
sary. If the location is such that wa
ter from a municipal water system
cannot be supplied, it may be obtained
from an elevated tank or by means of
a compressed air system.
Equipment.-The dairy house equip
ment depends largely upon the pur-
pose for which the house is to be used.
A boiler is the most convenient means
of furnishing steam and hot water for
washing and sterilizing cans and uten-
sils. An upright boiler of two to four
horse power will serve the purpose.
The Mushroom should contain
sink having a drain board. The drain
board may be fitted with steam and
water connections so that the cans and
pals can be rinsed and steamed after
they are washed. 1t is desirable to
have draining racks for cans and pals,
and a closet in which to keep utensils.
Every dairy house should have Bah
cock mill. testing outfit, which may be
either hand or steam driven. Further
equipment will depend upon which of

STERN CALL ON ENGINEERS
italian Army Had to Fight Nature as
Well as the Forces to Which 1t
Was Opposed

A recent message from the field
headquarters of the Italian army says
that the transportation romance of this
450-mile mountain front, set down in
cold,s hard figures, reads thus: 2,44S
miles of railroad rebuilt or repaired =
500 miles Of new railroad built; $50
miles of airline cables stretched for
the teleferica system; 10000 miles Of
telephone wire put up; 10000 new
troop, hospital and freight buildings
erected; 200 miles of narrow gauge
railroad laid in or behind the trenches;
10 new bridges thrown across rivers
and precipices to accommodate 2,040
miles of operating road.
The work is credited to 100 civil en-
gineers Of the government department
Of public works, aided by army en-
gineers proper; likewise by 100000
workmen and 100000 army mules,
hitched to $4,000 wagons.
The foregoing is the first official rec
ord of the exact extent of the con-
struction work on this front, carried
on steadily for Is months, despite enc
my artillery, avalanches, snowfalls,
rains, floods, frost, lack Of material
and all of the other ills by which en-
gineers are beset.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even Irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

RH.A.R UTHE

- is impossible to draw a plan of
dairy house that will meet the re-
quirements OF every individual case. In
order to design plan properly, it is
necessary to know the size of the herd,
how the product is to be disposed Of
whether as whole milk, cream, or
butter), the location of the barn, well,
etc. However, there are few general
principles that should be followed in
the building of any dairy house.
Location.-Although the dairy house
should be near enough to the barn to
be convenient, 1t should not be directly
connected with the barn because 1t is
then likely to be filed with stable
odors which are absorbed by the milk
or cream. 1t is well to leave an open
air space of six to ten feet between the
barn and the dairy house. Placing the
dairy house on the side of the barn
opposite the barnyard also lessons the
chance of stable odors being absorbed
by the milk. Proper drainage from
the dairy house is important and must
be considered when selecting the loca-
ton.
Construction.-The building material
may be drop siding, brick, or concrete,
depending upon the investment the
builder desires to make. The inside
walls should be smooth. Plastered
walls are preferable since board walls
have tendency to rot, especially close
to the floor. Rotting can be obviated
to certain extent by plastering the
walls up to a height of about three
feet.
The building should be so parti-
toned that the milk room, wash room,
and boiler room are separate. The
rooms should be we'll lighted by win
dows, and ventilation should be sup
piled by an opening placed in the cell
ing of each room. Each ventilator
should be fitted with some sort of
damper to regulate its action.
A solid and impervious floor is es-
sential. A cement floor meets these

DAY OF REVOLUTIONS PAST
Education Must Take the Place Of the.
Anticipated Methods of Making .
Changes in Government.

The machine gun and the high ex-
plosive shell have ended the days Of
successful revolutions, according to-
Stanley J. Weyman, the English au-
thor of 1.-THE House of the Wolf" "A
Gentleman of France" and Under the
Red Robe" According to Mr.. Wey-'
mans view no rebellion by the peo-'
pie can ever hope to be successful in
the larger nations now. -
against the muskets and cannon Of
old days naked hands and makeshift
weapons could prevail If fury lent
strength and numbers were sufficient.
But today, when half dozen machine
guns, handled by twice as many ex-
perts, can NOW down hundreds in q
minute; when even a single high-ex-
plosive shell can wreck half d village,
when everything that has to do with
these weapons, with the munitions
that feed them, and the airplanes that
guide them, is technical to degree,
of what avail are the scattered rifles
and barricades of the people, the regi-
ments hastily levied and scantily
armed? OF none. Before the muzzles
of a few machine guns the toilers Of
Client and Liege and Antwerp, cities
famed in the past for their turbulence,
are hurried into slavery well-nigh IN
resisting.
.F'or they know resistance to be
hopeless. And so it is, and must be.
AS long as a mere handful Of men
trained in the use of these engines
remains faithful, despotism may sit
secure, be the people never so impa-
tient. Only from outside, only by the
use of equal weapons, only by other
nations, can the yoke be broken and
the people be freed"

The need for such an institution was

the following purposes the dairy
house is to serve, namely: ~ selling
whole milk in bulk; (2) making butter
or selling cream; and (3) bottling
milk on the farm.
The illustrations shown are designed
for dairies with as many as twenty
| five cows in the herd. For larger
herds it may be necessary to build a
dairy house having larger dimensions
than those submitted. If it is not in
tended to have the dairy house fitted
with a boiler room and a Mushroom,
it may be made smaller than suggest
ed by eliminating that part of the
building devoted to such rooms.
Dairy House for Selling Whole Milk
in Bulk.
The milkroom should contain a coil
cooler for cooling the milk as quickly
as possible after it is drawn. The milk
may then be put into eight or ten
gallon cans and set in the cooling
tank, or the preliminary cooling may
be omitted and the cans of warm milk
placed in the cooling tank. The cool
ing tank may be fitted with water con-
nections so that the milk can be kept
cold by running water, or the tank
may be insulated and fitted with lid
so that ice may be placed in the cool
ing water. The latter Is not necessary
If there Is a good supply Of cold water
which will keep the milk at temper
allure below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
A hand-separator may be installed
in case of the necessity of skimming
surplus milk.
Dairy House for Selling Cream or
Making Butter.
Selling cream necessitates the use of
a centrifugal separator and a cooling
tank or refrigerator. Making butter
requires the additional equipment of a
churn, and table upon which to print
and wrap the butter. The cooling tank
may be built of a size depending on
the amount of material to be kept
cool. The cream should be cooled di-
rectly after skimming and kept cool
until it is delivered or ripened for
churning, as the case may be.
A gasoline engine may be installed
in the washroom to furnish power for
and churning. If such an
engine is used, the exhaust should be
piped through the roof of the building
in order to avoid the possibility Of the
gasoline flavor being absorbed by the
cream.
Dairy House for BottIing Milk.
For bottling milk on the farm the
dairy house should be larger and con-
tain more equipment than is required
for the two aforementioned purposes.
A double-compartment sink is convent
ent for washing and rinsing bottles.
There should be a sterilizer for steril-
izing all bottles before they are filed. |
This may be used also to sterilize the
milk pals, cooler and the bother. The
sterilizer may be constructed of hollow
Tile plastered with cement plaster, or
If heavy galvanized sheet iron rein
forced with angle iron. A drain |
should be placed in the floor of the |
;terilizer and ventilator with a tight |
lifting damper in the ceiling. Shelves
nay be arranged so that they will |
lold the bottles in an inverted posi-
ion, or, if cases Of the proper kind
ire used, the bottles can be put into !
