A fairly rich mixture makes the
best concrete floors. A good mixture
consists of one part Portland cement,
two and One-half parts sand and five
parts screened gravel or crushed rock.
One bag of cement may he considered
cement. This is a convenience in
measuring the proper proportions, as
the cubic foot may be used as a unit
in measuring the aggregate.
In mixing the concrete, the cement,
sand and gravel should be thoroughly
mixed in a dry state until the mass is
of uniform color. Just enough water
then should be added so that small
amount of water will appear at the top
when the concrete is well tamped in
place.
Proper Curing Important.
Proper curing of the floor is as i'm
rOrtant as thorough mixing of the
concrete. In hot weather each newly
laid section should be shaded from
the sun for three days. In any season,
as soon as the concrete has set up so
that water will not wash out the
cement the new concrete should be
sprinkled and kept wet for As hoGrs.
Thereafter it should be flooded with
water morning and noon for a week.
At the end of that time the floor may
be used for feeding, but heavily load
ed wagons should not be allowed
upon it for at least one month nor
should loose animals be permitted on
its surface.
The construction of feeding floors Is
similar TO that used in building con-
crete sidewalks, only on a larger
scale as shown in the illustration.
The cost of a concrete floor is de-
pendent upon so many conditions that
no reliable estimate can be given.
Prices of materials and labor vary
considerably in different sections. On
many farms sand and gravel can be
easily obtained from a creek or gravel
bank, while in other instances they
must be hauled some distance.
Full details and instructions for
building concrete feeding floors are
found In Farmers Bulletin No. 4S1-
Concrete on the Livestock Farm"

defeat AID settled down to the prac-
tice of law in New York City than it
was seen that he was still almost as
| much the leader OF the Democratic
party as when he was in tie White
House.
In the four years of his retirement,
he seldom saw party leaders. Yet so
strong was the reaction against the
Republicans aid so LOUD the call for
him in 1892 that he returned in tri-
umph to the White House.
One of the periodical panics of the

shouted in gleeful headlines: Another

AS the first means of restoring con-
fidence, Cleveland called a special ses-

having it repeal the Silver act of the
Harrison administration. The next day
he submitted himself TO the surgeons

Under the pressure of the president,
the Silver act was repealed, but only

In the depth of our domestic

Permission between the two acts Of the
Cleveland drama. History gives but
a passing glance at the one president
whose predecessor became his success
or, who had to give up the presidential
chair to the man he took it from.
Although Harrison had more brains
than Cleveland, Cleveland had larger
nature, and that is what counts most
in the leadership of men.
Notwithstanding Benjamin Harrison
was the grandson of a president, in
whose house he was born, his father
was poor and the boy was brought up
plainly.

the bar until after his marriage, and
the first money he ever made was as
g court crier at $3.50 a day. Later on
he helped out his lean practice with
his salary as clerk of the supreme
court of the state. Then came the
Civil war, in which he served calamity
as a colonel and marched with Sher-
man to the sea. Afterward he rose
TO a high and prosperous rank in the
practice of law.
The only political Office Harrison
ever held before his election to the
presidency was a seat In the senate.
Defeated for reelection to that body
in the year before he was elected pres
Ident. he left Washington with no
thought that he would soon return as
president-eiect, ard he frankly de-
scribed himself as "a dead duck"
The only candidate that the rank
and file Of the Republicans wanted to
nominate in 1888 was Blaine. But he
was not well, and he refused to make
contest for the nomination. At last
he cabled from Scotland: "Take Hsr-
rison." And the convention indiffer-
emily took him.
The more notable events of the Har-
rison adminIstratiOn-the Mckinley
tariff act; the silver act, which more
than doubled the purchase of that
metal by the treasury; the Sherman
law on the subject Of trusts; the de-
pendent pension act, and the first Pan
American congress--hardly belong In
this little story, because none of them
originated with the president himself.
He did not rise to leadership. and con-
gress took the reins. All the while he
sat in the White House in cold alOof-
ness.
With the cry Of "GOd help the sur
plus!" the Republicans gave the coun-
try In Harrison's administration the
FIRST "biIlIon-dollar congress" the APP

ing to that unprecedented total. To
the popular protest Speaker Reed re-
torted: "This is billion-dollar cOpn-

erough to pay the higher tariff rates

That law was passed only seven
weeks before the congressional cleo
