were yielding scepters made of "cac. ique" wood called "cacique-car or royal turtle wood, later, because of it's resemblance to the mottled shell of a sea turtle. It was dark red wood. harder than mahogany, but it could readily be worked It would not crack or warp. It exhibited re- markable strength without brittleness and it firmly refused to decay. But it appeared only as the heart wood of decayed trunks. which the natives would not or could not identify.
 Famine and American curiosity dis covered the secret fifteen months ago, when Mrs. s. r. Vernon of Cristobal. in the canal zone, asked her husbanf! for the name of an agreeable looking tree in Panama village. As an eN- perienced husband he doubtless an- swered promptly ''splrfus niger" but as a curious botanist he explored the stranger with a knife until he found within It's center the mysterious "cacique-carey."

SAW SOLDIERS OF FIVE WARS
John Pemberton Oak Has History Probably UnequaIed by That of
 Any Other Tree

Soldiers of five wars have been drl,.ed beneath the John Pemberton oak tree, Bristol, Virginia Tennessee. nominated for place in the hall of fame of tie American forestry association at Washington by Ms. H. F. Lewis. secretary of Virginia for the Daughters of the American Rev Oluton. Under this tree Col. John Pemberton mustered his troops for the battle of Kings Mountain. A marker has been placed on the tree by the Sycamore Shoals chapter, says the American Forestry Magazine, in making the announcement. The sol diers of the War of 1872 met here. Then came the Mexican war and the old tree saw men again leave their homes 10 fight. Next came the struggle between the states, and the oak witnessed the drilling of men to fight one another in their own coun- try. Then came the world war anG again the veteran oak saw our boys answer tfeir united country's call.

shafts, and keep the air in the srahl' sweet and clean. Seven windows or each side of the stable permit the entrances of sunshine, which helps to keep the stable sanitary.
 When it is considered that fresh water is one of the necessities for healthy, producing cows, it will pay every dairyman who has a herd of any size to equip his barn with run ming water connected with automatic drinking cups at the stall heads. How much water a COW will drink when it is available, is shown by a 24-hour watch that was kept on stable con taining 24 animals. There was not a minute in the A hours when one of the animals was notN drinking. Tests also have shown thatN coheinllo2us supply of fresh water Xh tne 9l'Die will increase the flow of, miik lo pst cent.
 Such a barn as this is not eApen9,y ys to build. Costs, however, vaSy Ill vif- ferent localities and it is not SpoSslole @ to give figures on the cost struction of this building. A cc&vSf- tation with the local contractor and lumber dealer will bring an estimate. This should be done at once, if the barn is to be finished by the time the herd is brought into winter quarters.
 Such a barn as this is a good in vestment on any farm where special attention is paid to dairying. It will save it's cost in few years in the saving made in labor and in the in crease of milk production. To save labor requires that the labor saving barn equipment be installed.
 Costs of material that go into build- ings have been greatly reduced during the last few months and better sup ply of lumber and other materials now is available. A visit to the local material dealer and the contractor will show that this is a good time to build, whether a new barn, home or any other farm building is needed.

Into Unknown Australia.

An expeditionary party, represent ing west Australian railway league and the commonwealth government, has been travelling in the Northwest and far north of western Australia. Some idea of the immensity of this lit tle-known corner of the common wealth may be gathered from the fact that the party covered 1.500 miles by steamer along the coast, thence by a motorcar traversed 1000 miles of country. A vast belt of country was found stretching eastward from the Leopold ranges into tho northern ter ritory, capable of carrying 10000. GOO Sheep if opened by railway.

signed and constructed that the cows will be healthy and more productive.
 In exterior appearance this is a good barn. It has d gambrel, or roof with broken lines, and is attractive in appearance Adjoining is a silo, F feet in diameter, of hollow clay building tile wherein is stored the winters supply of fresh feed for the COWS. Above the stable is a roomy mow for hay and other roughage.
 The floor ,plan that accompanies the exterior view of the barn shows the layout of the COW stable Through the center of the stable runs litter alley, along either side of which are 15 COW stalls. On either side of the stable, with the stalls facing them, are feeding alleys. Over both the litter and feed ing alleys is carrier track, which enables the owner to remove the lit ter and carry the feed to the managers mechanically The dotted lines show the course of the carrier. At one end the track runs out to the manure pile or pit. At the other the track connects the feeding alleys with the feed room and silo chute.
 The floor of tue stable is Of concrete with steel stall partitions. At the rear of the stalls. along either side of the litter alley is gutter, pitched to a drain, making 1t an easy matter to flush out the refuse. It is a profitable plan to have the drain connected with a concrete tank for liquid manure.
 Sunshine and fresh air are two things that nature provides that COWS i need indoors as we'll as out. At the same time there should be no drafts or the animals, especially in winter. This barn is equipped with a moderl ventilating system. In the side walls and following the slope of the rooi are venrilator shafts that are con nected with the suction ventilators or the roof These ventilntors suck oui i the foul air through the ventllatinl
