MATERIALS FOR HOG FLOORS
and Damp-AnimaIs Require
Clean, Warm Nest

Tha agricultural engineering division
at University farm has been receiving
Inquiries concerning the construction
Of hog houses, especially as to the
material to use for floors.
THE hog house floor Is very impor-
tant If the building is to be permanent
and satisfactory" says Prof. H B..
White of the division. Hogs desire
a clean, warm dry and well-bedded
nest, and this requires care in the
choice and placing Of the materials for
the floor.
Concrete makes sanitary floor, but
1t Is often cold and damp and not de-
sirable for small pigs. A removable
floor Of wood for the nest to be used
at narrowing time Is great improve
ment. Cork brick or creosoted blocks
are also used for the floor Of the nest.
Hollow building tile laid on we'll
drained gravel covered with about one
inch Of sand and with the joints be-
tween the tile filed with sand makes
dry, warm floor. In some cases an
inch Of concrete over the tile is pre-
ferred, as it makes a more easily
cleaned surface, although not so dry"

WHIPPING POST

INVESTIGATION INTO YOUTHS
DEATH BRINGS PROPOSAL
TO AMEND STATE LAW
Physician Claims Death Was In
directly Due to Another Dr.
sease; Hoped to Spare
The Relatives

Tallahassee, Fla.-Working up to
the first stage of abolishing the whip
in the Florida convict camps, the
senate Thursay received from the
lower chamber of the Florida general
assembly an amendment proposed to
the present statute which would do
away with whipping, means Of pun
ishment now legally employed. Over
the opposition of fifty negative voters,
the bill passed the house late We'd
nesday with less debate and cross
fire than had been expected. The
main theme of the opposition center
ed on the inability to control negro
convicts, at times, without the use
of the lash.
The special joint committee in
vestigating the death of Martin Tab
ert OF North Dakota continued to call
witnesses concerning Tabert's death.
The committee Wednesday heard
details of the burial of Tabert and
listened to witnesses for the Putnam
Lumber company, in whose camp
Tabert died.
Mrs. MaytIe Mills and Mrs. Ollie
Rhodes of Calar, Fla, told the COM
mittee that Tabert had been given a
Christian burial.
Dr. T. Capers Jones, camp ply
stefan, testified that he had attended
Tabert prior to his death, that Tabert
said nothing to him of having been
beaten, that Tabert's body showed no
evidence of such, and that he made
out the death certificate to show that
Tabert died of pneumonia and COM
plication of malaria.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected Is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

GREAT ARTIST BUSINESS MAN
How Tintoretto "StoIe a March" on
His Fellow Painters of the
City of Venice.

An amusing story has been told OF
how Tintoretto outwitted the other
Venetian painters of his day, which
throws a light on his businesslike
character. The Brotherhood of the
San Rocco in Venice wanted a painting
for a ceiling of an apartment in San
Rocco, where Tintoretto had already
made a fresco of the Crucifixion OF
Christ. They asked for designs from
all the painters then in Venice to be
submitted on a day named.
While the other artists were maxi
ing their designs Tintoretto measured
the space for which the picture was
intended, painted a canvas of that size
and put it in the allotted place. When
the Brotherhood assembled TO see the
designs of all the painters they dlscov-
cred the trick.
Fellow-painters and friars were alike
incensed, the latter telling Tintoretto
that they had not asked him to do the
work He replied that all designs
should be judged. and that if they did
not want to pay for the picture he
would make them present of it. The
painting retained its place.
Tintoretto was an enigma to his
patrons and fellow-artists. He had
pronounced sense of humor which
probably led TO the joke rather than
sense of gain. He painted rapidly.

COLD BURN NOT MISNAMED
Experiments Have Shown That Seri-
GUS Hurts May Be the Result of
Liquid Air.

Any one who has ever applied a.
moistened finger, or still worse, the
end Of the tongue to a piece of frosty
metal in winter has had painful ex-
perience Of the fact that cold as well
as heat can blister the skin. During
some experiments in the production Of
excessively low temperatures a SCI
enlist accidentally burned" himself
with cold several times, and the eff
fects were so remarkable that he
deemed them worthy of a scientific re-
port.
1t appears that there are two kinds
Of degrees, Of cold burn In the case
of the less severe burns" the skin az
first turns red, but becomes blue the
next day. The infiamed spot nearly
doubles in size, with intense itching,
and a period varying from a month to
six weeks elapses before the wound
heals.
When the contact with the cold sub
stance Is longer and more complete a
burn" of the second degree is pro-
duced In this the skin falls off and
the parts that the cold has reached
behave like foreign bodies" A ma
lignant and stubborn wound is formed
and the process of healing is very
slow, occupying several months.
A drop of liquid air falling on the
experimenter's hand produced cold
burn. which did not completely heal
for six months, while a scorch from
heat accidentally inflicted on the same
hand and nearly at the same time,
was healed in ten or twelve days.

SUBMARINE IDEA NOT NEW
Believed to Have Been First Thought
Of in the Revolutionary War,
but Unsuccessful.

An attempt was made during the
Revolutionary war TO destroy an Eng
lish war vessel that lay near Gov
errors island, with an internal ma
chine" called marine rurtle," in
vented by a mechanic of Saybrook,
Conn. The machine failed to do the
work that was expected of it, and the
attempt was unsuccessful Washing
ton approved of the machine, on ex-
animation, and selected competent
man to attempt the hazardous enter
prise.
The machine was constructed so as
to contain a living man, and to be
navigated by him at will under the
water. A small magazine of gum
powder, so arranged as to be secured
to ships bottom, could be carried
with it. This magazine was furnished
with clock-work, constructed so as to
operate spring and communicate a
blow to decorating powder, and ignite
the gunpowder of the magazine. The
motion of the clock-work was suf-
ficiently slow to allow the submarine
operator to escape to a safe distance
after securing the magazine to ships
bottom. But the sheathing on the
bottom of the English vessel on which
the test" was to be made was too
thick for the successful working out
of the plan, and after a two-hour at
tempt to penetrate the thick copper,
the operator AMI his turtle" came
up out of reach of musket shot, and
safely landed.

HIGH-CLASS HORSES NEEDED
Properly Fed and Broken Are
Always In Demand.

prepared BY the United States Department
of AEriculture.)
Inc United States Department Of
Agriculture calls attention to the fact
that there Is market for high-class,
well-bred horses and mules. The
small undeveloped animal of poor
quality is always a drug on the mar
ket, but the offspring Of good brood
mares bred to pure-bred sires Of the
right type, If properly developed and
broken to harness, nearly always find
a ready market.
Figures based on the 1920 census
show that about 100000 fewer colts
were produced In the United States In
1919 than were needed to supply re-
placements Of horses and mules on
farms alone. About 225, 900 high-class
animals are needed for annual replace
ment in cities, making a shortage Of
more than 100000 horses and mules
produced In the United States in 1919,
below the number needed for replac-
ing losses.
The department recommends that
farmers produce requirements enough,
In connection with general farming, to
be able to sell off the older work ami
mails each year. The market de-
mands well-broken and trained horses
that will last a long period of years.
Therefore, If the colts are broken at
about three years Of age and used on
the farm a few years, these young
stock, will furnish the power for the
average farm and the young stock will
be increasing in sale value. Horses
