VICTIM OF TURKS RAPACiTY
Cyprus, a Monument to Their
Savaaery and Hate.

Farmagusta, "the place of the god
dess," is in desolate corner of the
far-famed island of Cyprus. One look
at the wrecked city shows plainly that
the goddess has forsaken her affairs.
1t looks as though n sandstone had
struck the place and buried its glory
beneath Il dune. from which rise the
remains of churches, towers and a
cathedral.
It was not, however. the sands of
the tropics that laid the ancient me-
eropolis low. The Turks, wrathful at
this city of 300 churches, attacked it in
a siege which might have rivaled the
lengthy TROJAN episode had not hun
ger overcome the citys defenders. The
pJlaging of the conquerors completed
the ruin wrought by battering rams,
fire and stones.
Earthquakes followed and settled
the shattered stones further into the
sand But through the city's days of
destruction, even To-Day, the outer walls
and bastions stand firm. The harbor
stronghold of Farmagusta would be a
formidable obstacle to attack even in
this day of 50-mile guns and scientific
artillery fire.
In one corner of the wall stands a
tower said to have been the scene of
Desdemonas death at the hands of
Othello.
Aside from the strong walls there
are few bits of intact architecture
among the debris. An occasional palm
tree growing up through the ruins adds
to the effect of abandonment. A few
Turks hold the city gainst time, the
only enemy left to it.

Chihuahua Is Smallest.

The smallest of ell recognized breeds
of dogs is the Chihuahua, which is also
one of the most intelligent of all the
canine family. This breed is product
Of Mexico and is named after north
cFn country where there are thousands
Of these little dogs running Wild and
multiplying each year. 1t seems a re-
markable thing that in spite of the
fact that they have never had any
dog shows in Mexico, one only has to
visit that country and try to purchase
q really good, typical little Chihuahua
from a native to realize that the Next
cans know the worth of this dog of his
own country. How these dogs were
bred probably never will be known.
Some authorities have minated that
they were bred some generations back
from large squirrels and this view is
borne out by the fact that at enc time
these dogs ran wild in the woods ana
that the Chihuahua Is nearly as pro-
hcient in running up trees as the SPUR

PAINTING SIL0S FOR
FUTURE USEFULNESS
OF Great Importance to Protect
Against Decay.
Good Inside Coating Is CoaI-Tar Soiu-
ton, Trimmed With Gasoline
Wooden Slaves Usually Begin
to Rot at the Base.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Now that the cost of constructing
silos is high it is more important than
ever to protect against decay those that
are already built
A good inside coating for silos, spe
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture say, Is coal-tar So
luton, thinned If necessary with gas
cline. and applied with a paint brush.
The best plan is to apply it one or two
days before the silo is filled, but 1t can
be done successfully during filling. the
men in the si1o painting strip as high
as they can reach. and repeating the
process periodically until the top Is
| is reached. When put on in this way the
material must be thinned with gasoline
which evaporates almost Immediately
and leaves the eoal-tar dry enough not
to injure the silage.
The same preparation Is good also
for coating the outside wall. The only
/ objection is that black outside paint,
is not as pleasing in appearance as
that of a lighter color. The high cost
of linseed oil and prepared paints, how
ever, cause many silo owners to neg
lect painting with those materials, and
a black outer coat is certainly prefer
able to deterioration for lack of paint.
Wooden-stave silos that have begun
to rot at the base-where decay usu-
ally begins-can be saved by saving
off the rotten portion. 1t is necessary,
of course, to block up the silo before
the saving is done. and then to lower
it gradually. Carefully handled, silo
can be sawed off and lowered absolute
ly without injury. After this operation
there is likely to be three or four years
of life left in a silo that without it
would have been worthless.

BEST AGE FOR WEAVING PIGS
Twelve or Fourteen Weeks of
Age-keep Them Growing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Too many farmers follow the prac-
tice of weaving pigs when too young,
many being weaned at six and seven
weeks of age a good brood sow prop
erly fed has Il good flow of milk when
the pigs are of this age. There is no
better feed for growing pigs than their
mothers milk. consequently it should
be used to the greatest extent pos
sible. When the pigs are of sucking
age the sow should be on full feed.
Unless there is some extraordinary
reason for earlier weaving the pigs
should not be weaned under the age
Of ten weeks, and it is better To let
them nurse until they are twelve or
fourteen weeks old.
Often serious results follow weaving
at too early an age. An entire change
of feed following weaving may create
serious trouble. If, however. pigs have
access to corn. shorts, middlings or
tankage. or fish meal in a self-feeder
placed in the open where they can eat
at pleasure without being disturbed by
other hogs, they can be weaned at the
age of twelve or fourteen weeks, with
very little change in their feed, by al
lowing them to continue On the self
feeder.

gain continuously until they are ready

be obtained unless pigs have access all

rabbit to the age of three months. At
that time it may be marketed at the
rate of 30 to 40 cents pound and
the pelts are worth from Is to rs

bit and its size. Oats, cabbage and
water compose the basic diet used by
most of the young growers. Compared
with chicken raising, the points are
in favor of the rabbit, for the hares

Stage Feeding Pays.

Statistics show that the percentage
times as high among herds that are
| fed on silage as among herds that are
not fed silage.
While there may be some possible
question as to the economy of putting
up slos under extreme high prices,
there can be no question about the
economy of filling to capacity those
that are already up.
Every man who has a silo should
aim not only TO put up enough silage
to carry his herd through the winter
but TO have some for summer feeding,
at least in case of emergency.
Even in the best of pasture regions,
cows frequently drop 20 tos 80 per cent
in production-even more sometimes
in midsummer when drought cuts the
pastures short.
When the rains come later. these cat
tie do not return to 100 per cent pro-
duction.
If there is some stuff in the silo
when the dry weather comes, the cows
can be kept up in production through
the drought and carried on at maxi
mum production through the season.
Summer silage is, to the dairy farm
err. insurance against loss from
drought.
II he has rot sufficient capacity to
carry over summer siiage. more should
be constructed as soon as ii is at all
feasible.
The summer silo to give the most
service possible. should be of smaller
diameter than the winter silo, for in
order to keep it in perfect condition
silage must be fed TO n greater depth
each day in summer than in winter.
AS compared with soiling crops. sum-
mcr silage saves labor at time when
labor is urgently needed for other
things.
Dairy farmers are realizing more
and more every year that they must
have summer sil0s.

CONSTRUCTION OF GOOD ROAD
Concrete Highway Is Composed of
Mixture of Sand. Stone, Portland
Cement and Water.

The concrete road is composed of
a carefully proportional mixture of
clean, hard, weli-graded sand. peb-
bles or broken stone, portland cement
and water. This mixture Is laid upon
the subgrade to n depth of inches
or more for the entire width Of the
road, and soon hardens into a mass
as hard as rock. The materials are
bonded together by the cement so firm
ly that it is impossible for traffic to
loosen or separate the particles. For
this reason no expensive maintenance
is required.
The foundation or subgrade is COM
pacted where the concrete is to be
laid and the roadbed is drained so
that no water will remain under the

crete is laid in one or two courses.
A one-course concrete road consists of

SELECT PIGS FOR BREEDING
Animals Should Not Be Pushed, but
Kept Growing Nicely to Develop
Gone and Muscle.

Pigs selected for breeding purposes
should be kept growing nicely, but they
must not be pushed, for the whole OBJ
ject of their feeding is to make them
stretch cut and develop bone and
muscle in place of fat. They should
be continued ON growing ration. A
little skim milk and shorts make a
good ration. A small amount of
ground oats and cracked corn will help
develop and insure normal growth. But
corn should be used sparingly as it is
too fattenins for pigs. Remember that
these pigs should also have an album
