FIND PREHISTORIC VILLAGE

A prehistoric village with pottery
1000 years old has just been discov-
cred during the laying-out Of private
grounds at Sidmouth, Devon, Eng
land. Over three hundred articles,
the majority Of the Neolithic age,
have been unearthed. They include
flint weapons, AIDES, boring tools, a
scraper, and other relics Of the pc
Rod. Probably the most valuable find
is a profile portrait Of a woman on
an inner flake of flint, the features
being shaped by numerous small
cuts, giving indisputable proof of
secondary working. It is similar to
other specimens found several years
ago. Some Of the articles, 1t is
claimed, establish continuous occu-
patton Of the site for many centuries
before Christ. Several of the speci-
mems have been submitted to the
British museum, from which reports
have been received confirming the
antiquity of The finds

ADVICE FROM THE YOUNG

Billy was visiting the Woman.
Billy, whose dimpled cheeks and
golden curls made him look more
like a little girl than like a sturdy
boy of four. But besides the dimples
and the curls there was nothing girl
ish about Billy. He could double
up his chubby fists and fight like a
man. He wasn't "afeared Of snakes
and mice and SUCH" and he had as
hearty disapproval of feminine lido
syncrasies as most men have.
Therefore he lost patience COM
pletely with the Woman, when, hav-
ing spilled something or other which
made a spot on her best dress, she
kept fussing about it. The lad
watched her for a moment in ST.
lence, as with wrinkled brow she
contemplated the ugly spot. TIL en-

Plan for Stall Platform.
The stall platform is usually built
next and 1t is very similar to building
a sidewalk. A 1928 concrete mixture
is used. The full thickness Of the
floor is placed al one time. This is
known as one-course construction and
is generally more satisfactory than
two-course work. A wood float should
be used for finishing. 1t will produce
a smooth surface yet leave it Just
gritty enough so that it will not get
slippery. Do not use a steel trowel
as 1t is likely to give a surface that
will become slippery which is very

MODERN STABLES
HELP KEEP MILK
It Is Of Utmost Importance to
Have Them Clean and Free
From Disagreeabie Odors.
AVOID FILTHY PLANK FLOORS
DaIryman Must Be Constantly ut War
With FIith-cows, Utensils and
Barn Must Be Kept UnpoL
iutsd at All Times.

tBy ". @. KAISER, Agricultural En-
gineer.)
From the very fact that milk is used
az a human food 1t Is essential to ex-
ercise the greatest care to keep 1t
clean and wholesome. Milk is q prod
uct that absorbs disagreeable odors
very quickly and If left stand In q
stable where bad odors are presnt 1t
will in a surprisingly short time be
contaminated.
"The old filthy plank fioored, poor
ly lighted, ill-ventilated barn is the
harbinger of disease, especially tuber-
culosis," says w. b. Barney, state
dairy and food commissioner Of Iowa,
In a report to the governor Of that
state. If all ordinances on floor con-
structiOn were summed up in a single
sentence they would read about as
follows: mo building shall be used
for stabling cows which is not pro-
vided with an easily cleaned, impervi-
GUS floor" The dairyman must be con-
stantly at al with filth. The cows
must be kept clean, the utensils In
which milk 10 kept must be kept clean
and the barn must be clean. An easily
cleaned impervious floor in the dairy
barn Is very necessary. Concrete il
used In many sections Of this country
for dairy barn floors. Plank floors
with cracks full Of filth are being
taken up and a permanent concrete
floor put In their place. This work
can be done at any season OF the year
when there Is time to do the work. The
floor can be laid In winter II the inte-
rior Of the barn can be kept above
freezing for four or five days until
concrete has hardened.
Avoid Costly Mistakes.
A good plan is necessary so as to
avoid costly mistakes. Once concrete
has hardened 1t is difficult to remove.
Most agricultural colleges have sug-
gested dairy barn layouts which they
furnish free to farmers. Many barn
equipment manufacturers also furnish
this information without charge.
The first step in the construction Of
. dairy barn floor Is to clear out rubbish
and bring the area to proper level. All
holes should be filed and If there are
any soft spots these should be tamped
solid.
The manger curb Is usually built
first and it is very important to do this
job right so that steel stanchions will
fit. The curb should be 5 or 6 inches
thick and project about 6 inches above
top Of floor level when finished. For
the curb a 1928 mixture is recon-
mended. This means that each sack
Of cement will be mixed with 2 cubic
feet of clean sand and 8 cubic feet

POST TREATMENT
IS MONEY SAVER
Experiments at Iowa College
With Water Gas Tar IN Con-
junction With creosote.
By-PRODuCT OF GAS PLANTS
creosotins Will l.ensthen Life Of
Posts Of Any Kind Of Wood-is
Especially Valuable With Cot
tonWood Or Willow.

A new economy in the preservative
treatment of fence posts Is In sight, II
experiments with the use Of water gas
tar in conjunction with c~reesote,
which are being conducted by forest
ers Of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station, justify the belief that
the tar al be utilized.
Water gas tar, q ~by-product Of arti.
fetal gas plants, is much cheaper than
creosote. The purpose Of the expert
ments Is to determine whether or not
the tar can be successfully used in a
mixture with the creosote and in what
proportions to give the best results.
The economic value Of the preserva-
tive treatment Of posts has been DEM
Onstrated In many cases, says g. B.
Macdonald, head Of the forestry de-
partment at the college. Creosoting
will lengthen the life of posts of any
kind Of wood, but it 10 especially valu-
able with soft woods.
Tests have shown that such soft
woods as willow and cottonwood,
which last only three or four years II
untreated, will serve as posts for from
20 to 20 years when treated. This
fact makes possible the utilization by
the farmer Of woods Of this kind on
the farm which would otherwise be
practically useless.
1t is practicable, Mr.. Macdonald
points out, for a farmer to set out a
small plantation of quick-growing
trees, such as the cottonwood, and in
five or six years have the start Of a
permanent supply Of posts. 1t is esti-
mated that a post per acre Is needed
every year. A considerable saving can
be made by the farmer who grows
and treats his own posts.
Two methods Of creosoting posts are
recommended by Mr.. Macdonald, one
in which n tank is used and another
which requires two tanks. In the first
method posts are put into the creosote
tank with the creosote at a high tenn
p%erature, and are allowed to cool in
the same tank. When two tanks are
used the posts r transferred, after
their bath in the hot creosote, to the
other tank, which contains cold creo-
sote.
On medium-sized farms, where 100
or more posts are needed annually, a

BEST HEN-FEEDING PRAcTI ICE
Fowls on Many Farms Are Compelled
to Shift for Themselves and
Then Stop Laying.

The best practice is to always feed
the hen the proper amount of feed.
This practice is not always done on
the general farm. There is a tendency
to let the hens shift for themselves,
and as a result the hens cease to lay
and molt earlier than they should.
