Building a House
OF Nodded Earth
THE RAMMED- EARTH HOUSE
BY Anthony F. Merrill. (Hdrper
G. Bros; $500
Reviewed by
ROBERT j, LEWIS.


ROBERT j. LEWIS.
The rammed-earth process of
building consists simply of tamping
earth into a wooden form the shape
of q wall. Though an ancient meth
cd, it never gained widespread
foothold. Efforts to renew interest
in it have been largely unsuccessful,
Mr.. Merrill thinks this Is a pity,
for he maintains that rammed
earth is "a satisfactory building ele-
ment; that it will stand the abuse Of
time and weather; that there is
nothing ugly or makeshift about its
appearance, and that, overall, 1t is
very, very cheap"
There has been quite lot written
about the process itself, but this is
undoubtedly the most comprehen-
sive book published on the subject.
It deals with technical aspects Of
rammed- earth building, takes up its
history, lists its advantages and
drawbacks, discusses suitable arcEi-
lecture, and covers advances made
during the last 30 years.
An introduction was written by
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson,
an enthusiast of rammed-earth con-
struction.
Mr.. Merrill has turned out a
book that is Informative and highly
readable. You don't need to be a
would-be home builder to enjoy 1t.

complete sentence over his invention
those now famous words: Mr.. Wat
son, come here, I want you'll" That
was on March 10, 1876. Even at that
early date my father foresaw the
day when man would be talking to
man in distant parts of the world.
But I am sure that even he never
contemplated such a phenomenal
growth for the telephone-nearly
50, ,000,0O in the world today.
The United States was a great
country when my father invented
the telephone. Today it is the worlds
greatest country. And 7 like to think
that my fathers invention played
no small part in this wonderful
growth-for today the United States
alone has 100000 telephones, one
for nearly every four persons. This
is go per cent of the worlds total.
While the world remembers papa
for his invention of the telephone,
and institutions of learning admire
him for the important contributions
he made to help the deaf, I like to
think of him as the splendid father
that he was-uhe human, under
standing person who could make
crystal clear to a young daughter all
the involved things that were nap
pening in the world about her. I
like to think of him for the kindly
man he was; for his idiosyncrasies;
his games and delightful stories.

around on hearing the door open
and saw an over 6-foot 250-pound
man, dark, with very black hair
and full whiskers, approaching. The
man explained to father that the
instrument was telephone which
connected his Office with his fathers
store; that he was attempting to fix
it, but without success.
Perhaps I can help" father
offered, whereupon he unscrewed
the earpiece, removed the dia-
phragm, brushed small fly away,
replaced the parts, and said: Il
think now you will find that it
works"
The editor rang the telephone and
received an immediate reply. Much
surprised, he turned to father and
said: why, how did YOU happen
to know about this?"
Because I am the inventor of that
instrument" he replied. Mr.. Nc
Curdy, who relates the story, was
the son of the editor.
Music Whetted Interest
In Mechanics of Vibration
Father was tremendously interest
ed in vibrations of all kinds. That
was his chief study from early
childhood until old age. He began
with music. From the time he could
barely climb up on piano stool
and pick out tune by ear, he was
interested not merely with the
beauty of tone, but with the me-
chanics of music-What caused the
tone.
In later life he wrote: Il am
inclined to think that my early
passion for music had a good deal
to do in preparing me for the scien-
tific study of sound" 1t was through
these studies, in his constant effort
to improve conditions for the deaf,

BLAST FURNACE
 WEATHER BELT
 SWINGING EAST
lBv The Associated Pressl

(By The Associated Press)
 The midwests fading heat wave blew a sultry kiss of farewell to Illinois, Indiana and part of Michigan today, at the same time bestowing a blast-furnace embrace of greeting on the east.
 The weather bureau at Chicago said hot weather would continue today in Illinois, Indiana, and the southeastern half of lower Michi- gan, but that cooler air was work ing into those areas and should bring relief by nightfall.
 The rest of the midwest, bliss fully welcoming the arrival of the cool air, expected high readings in the sos today, but ahead of the eastward-moving cool front the maximum temperatures were due for return to the sos.
 Meanwhile, the heat wave, which had become an old story to resi- dents of the midwest, descended on disgruntled customers.
 Boston reported a high Wednes- day of 99 and New York City 97, with no relief forecast for the eastern states until Friday night
 The lowest temperature report ed from the northern hemisphere yesterday was 27 degrees at Big Piney, Wyo which is situated at an elevation of 1900 feet above sea level West Yellowstone Park, Mont, had 29 and Butte, Mont, 34 In Alaska, Point Barrow had a warmer 37, Juneau 53, Nome 45 and Fairbanks 49.

LIVESTOCK FEED
NEEDS DISC USSED

From now until green grass
grows again, salt and mineral
requirements will increase, both
for animals on the range and
In the feed lot.
For Montana conditions, a
$3.50 mixture of steamed bone
meal and iodized salt is the
cheapest and best. Phosphorus,
which is supplied by bone meal,
Is the only element for which
livestock has a great need,
other than ordinary salt and
iodine. Montana soils are phoS-
phoruS deficient; therefore this
element does not exist to any
great extent in either native
grasses or home grown feeds.
Green feed, however, contains
more minerals than dried or
cured forage.
Phosphorus, when combined
with calcium, promotes general
body growth and improves di-
geStion so animals make better
use of their feed. Salt is also
needed for digestion and gen.
eral body condition, while 10
dine prevents goitre or hairless
ness in newborn calves, lambs
and pigs.
Cattle feeders using a large
amount of beet pulp should not
overlook giving feed lot animals
free access to a salt and bone
meal mixture. Beet by-prOductS
are extremely low in phoSphor-
us and continued feeding with
out a phosphorus supplement
can result in poor gains and
other irregularities. Any mix
lures should contain at least
ne-third bone meal and two
thirds salt.
Stockmen and feeders may
purchase salt and bone meal
ready-mixed or prepare it
themselves. Commercially "Sta-
bilized" iodized salt is preferred
because it will not lose its 10
dine content while in storage.
Home mixed iodized salt should
be made up only as needed and
used at once. Bone meal con-
tanning the highest percentage
of available phosphoric acid
will be the cheapest.
Other types are prepared
mineral mixtures are not adj
Vised for Montana conditions
because they usually cost too
much and contain too little
available phosphorus. So-called
trace elements are also not
needed, as they occur in plenti-
full supply in most Montana
feeds.

County Extension Agent.
