A house for keeping milk cool In

ner, says the Kansas City Star. An
excavation was made In tho ground
four feet deep the desired length and
breadth of the building. Two posts
were then set In the ground at each
corner, leaving a space between them
the thickness of the .walls, men
boards a foot wide were placed on
the Inside of these P"tg next the
ground. The first layer of concrete
which was made from cement and
tolerably coarse gravel was put be
tween thorn. After this was finished
another round of boards was put Just
above the first ones and theso were
filled between with concrete also.
Then another course of concrete was
put above this and so on until the de-
hIi-i-h helirht was reached. As 'ne
concrete hardened the boards were re
moved. The door frame was set be
tween the boards In one end of tho
building when the walls had been
built up to a level with the top or me
ground, and It was made secure by
Presbyterian church, in

long bolts extending from the sides of
frame. Into the concrete walls. The
roof was made an oval stiape by
semi-circle rafters, the ends of which
rested on the top of the side walls.
After being covered over with boards
a layer of concrete was spread on,
leaving a place for a cement chimney
at the center of the roof. The rafters
and sheeting were left to give
strength to the concrete. The floor
was also made of cement and in
clined slightly toward one corner
where an eight-gallon Jar had been
sunk, Into which any water might
drain. The doors of the house were
made double, one opening inward and
the other outward. When shut they
kept out the heat in summer and the
cold in the winter.
Child Burned.
Last Saturday afternoon Mrs.
Asa Kcefer who lives in the east-
end extension, had iust finished
baking a nice lot of pumpkin pies
and had placed them on the
kitchen table. Her little two
year old daughter came toddling
up and grabbed hold of the table
upsetting it and throwing the
steaming custards down over the
childs head and neck burning
the child most painfully.
Buying a Cow.
When I started out to replace our
herd I had nothing to rely upon but
my poor judgment, and tile only thing
that saved me from almost total fail
ure was that I found lots of men who
did not know much more about their
own cows than I did, never having
tested them in any way.
For Instance, I found a mnn In
Wlnthrop who offered me a small
four-year-old cow for $26, and a two-year-old
that had JuBt dropped a calf,
for $12, which was so very cheap I
took them. The heifer Is now four
years old, and will make when this
year is out about 225 pounds of but
ter. The cow failed to get in calf for
a long time, went dry four months
and got very fat and dropped her first
calf last Jan. 18. She had given 6,929
pounds of milk that tested 6.8 per
cent, butter fat and dropped another
calf Nov. 25, after going dry only four
weeks; If nothing happens to her she
Is going to make considerable more
than five hundred pounds of butter in
the year and dropped two calves in
the time.
To offset that I paid another man
$40 for a cow that had Just dropped a
calf and looked perfection itself. I
thought I never saw a much hand
somer cow stand up. There has noth
ing happened to her, but If I hnd given
him the $40 and left the cow with him
I should have been dollars better off.
She gives a fairly good mess of milk
when fresh, but soon begins 4o fall
off and goes dry half the year.
Some of our new herd are far ahead
of any of the old, and some are as far
behind; they will average about the
same. One of the new ones has gone
to the butcher nnd others will follow
as soon as they are ready. When the
year Is out we shall publish the re
sults realized from the herd. Now I
want to emphasize what I have said
verv mnnv times, no man can afford
to be In the dairy business unless he
knows precisely what each cow Is do

Oat Straw Feed.
If oat straw is Intended for feed,
tho oats should be cut before they
are fully ripe, when the grains nre In
good dough. Oat straw if stored In
the barn Is almost equal to timothy
hay in feeding value., Do not let oati
Rtand in the Held too long before
threshing.
Makes Better Milk Yield.
Many veterinarians believe that if
cows are kept, during cold weather
in buildings where the temperature
Is high, the milk yield will be greater
than if they were kept In building
of comparatively low temperature.
The Twist of Trees.
A singular uniformity has beon ob
served in the twist of tree trunks.
In 800 trees out of every 1,000 whose
trunks show torsion, the direction of
the twist is from right to left This
accords with the direction of the
revolution of cyclonic storms In tha
northern hemisphere, and also with
that of whirlpools, which the French
savant, Joan Ilrunhes, says almost in
variably turn from right to left Th
question arises whether In the south
ern hemisphere the torsion of treq
trunks has an opposite direction, like
the cyclonic motions of the atmoa
shore la that hall pt the globe,
