No longer is fur a respecter of
seasons. This fact is being heralded
throughout the world of fashion
with unmistakable emphasis. for
never have spring styles been more
lavishly furred than they are this
season. OF course we are not ex.
pected TO regard fur from a utility
standpoint when spring comes and
summer Is not far away. but we are
certainly being given to appreciate
the charm Of fur when employed
purely and simply as a decorative
feature. You will notice In almost
every instance that designers are
making it point In the placement
of fur on the new spring suits and
coats TO keep It away from the face
and the throat. This has been very
nicely accomplished In the hand.

The survey showed that persons

Discovery of inscriptions on huge
stones used for the sub-casing Of
the giant pyramid brought forth
other notable facts which enabled
the psychologists to piece together
a vivid picture of the manner in
which the stone was brought from
the quarries at Tura, on the oppo-
site bank of the Nile some twenty
miles distant from Lisht, and depos-
tied at the foot of the pyramid un-
der construction.
The transportation of these heavy
stones, says Mr.. Lansing, was chief
ly matter of man power. The
problem was to keep the masons
supplied with material to prevent
any interruption of their labors.
This was accomplished by taking
advantage of the flooding of the
Nile, which reduced the distance
the blocks of stone had to be
dragged. Mr.. Lansing gives a pic
ture of the assembling of the stones
on the east bank for the arrival of
the flood. followed by a massed con-
centration on the task of loading

One Way to Have
Better Pastures
Select Fertile Soil, Proper
Mixtures and More Seed
to the Acre.

BY A. C. Kinney. Dairy Extension spe-
cialist. North Carolina State College.
WNU Service.
A fertile soil, adapted seed mix
lures and more seed per acre are
three essentials In successful, per
manent pasture building. These
three factors are too often over
looked by those attempting to bal
ance their farm operations through
the addition of live stock. It is fool
ish TO attempt to establish a good
pasture on land that is too poor
to produce a crop protitably. If the
land is not fertile enough to pro-
duce a good crop of corn. it will not
produce a good crop OF desired pas
ture grasses.
In securing adapted grasses the
best plan is to find out which
grasses have survived in previous
paintings. In many North Carolina
counties, the orchard, herds. Ken
lucky Blue and Dallis grasses have
Outlived others. LespedeZa and
white Dutch clovers are the two le-
gumes which seem to be generally
adapted
Given a fertile soil and adapted
grasses the next factor is to seed
heavily enough to secure a sod. The
usual plan is to make a thin
sprinkling of seed which takes too
much time to cover the ground.
When the hot summer sun comes
along the grasses are killed. A
sufficient stand of grass and legumes
to completely cover the land before
being killed by summer heat is
rarely secured.
Use not less than so to 60
pounds of grass seed an acre. A
good mixture for one acre Is as
follows: Fifteen pounds Of or
chard grass, ten pounds Of herds
grass or red top; eight pounds Of
Kentucky Blue grass; five pounds Of
Dallis grass; Eve pounds Of White
Dutch clover and fifteen pounds Of
common lespedeza.

A block Of limestone was then cut

This was followed out to the size of

into the pit until it rested on the
sand. On the rim of the caisson
was built brick wall. When this
wall had been constructed to the
level of the ground the digging of
the pit was recommended. AS each
basketful of sand was removed, the
stone caisson, and with it the brick
wall which rested on 1t, settled
