"Although Portland cement is pro duced in 27 states, the Lehigh valley of Pennsylvania is the Pozzuoli of the United States. Silica, calcium and alumina are the necessary cement in gredients which are contained in rock formations 'made to order* in this valley. "Crushers in the Lehigh valley take blasted rocks as large as five feet wide, three feet high and ten feet long und munch them readily into bits. Other teeth grind the stone to powder, which is mixed with water to form a sloppy 'slurry.' Under air pressure this Is blown Into the man made volcano, a cement kiln, the largest of \vt>ich is half as long as an average city block and has a diame ter of ten feet. This tube is lined with firebrick to withstand the ter rific heat resulting from the burning of coal dust blown Into the kiln from the other end. In the throat of this volcano a reaction occurs, transform ing a third of the stone into the active principle of cement. An endless belt brings candescent nodules out of the kiln to more grinders, which crush them to the fineness of flour. Six hun dred pounds of raw materials and fuel are required for every 376-pound bar rel of cement. "Cement has Itself created a sepa rate Industry which has Important bearing on the prosperity of the south ern states. Annually It requires thirty million new cement sacks of finely woven cotton. To make these, 00,000 acres of cotton must be grown and 1,600 looms operated every day of the year. Woven in one piece, 30 Inches wide, the cloth that goes into these sacks would unroll for 17,000 miles. "Much as tl%e Itoman aqueducts were the. necessity that mothered the invention of the first hydraulic cement, canals have produced modern cement. Aspdin's Portland cement was first used extensively in the Thames tunnel-. Early American cement factories can be traced by early American canals, notably the Erie canal, which popu larized the product In the United States. "Aside from its irreplaceable value for a thousand uses, portland cement Is saving millions of dollars to civl p glacier is found I IN THE OLYMPIC RANGE 1 Hooking for Fires Walkt Into territory Teeming With Wild Game.

Upon reaching the top of the peak the party discovered that the mountain was split in two parts, never before known, and after a hard descent down a precipi tous slope, reached a broad meadow between the halves of the peak. According to members of the party, the meadow was at least a mile in width and abounded with game Fol lowing the meadow down between the canyon walls, the party came to a precipice at its end, and looking over the edge discovered the Ice field more than 200 feet below them. The giaciei is approximately a mile wide and can be approached only by the route taken by the party. Members of the party believe the meadow land is probably a iake dur ing the rulny season. Due to the dif ficulty In approaching the mountain the cleft in the peak was never dis covered before, or the existence of the glacier suspected. I?

Matting Steel and Cement. "A French gardener's flowerpot with imbedded metal parts was the simple origin of reinforced concrete, whose vast possibilities are sounded scarcely more than th"? mysteries of the heav ens. Steel and een>ent, experts Lnd. are happily mated. As in all good families, the qualities one lacks the other baa. Concrete is noted for re sisting compression and( does not eas ily break down underi batterings of weather. Steel protected by cement will not rust away, and Its elasticity makes possible an Ideal building ma terial, strong, light, permanent, fire proof and yet not brittle. "The highest monument to con crete's value is a great chimney In Japan, fifteen feet higher than the Washington monument. It with stands frequent earthquakes. Lorado Taft's towering statue to 'Black Hawk' above Oregon, III., Is a true monument to concrete. The material Is used for levees on the Mississippi. It Is shot from guns for broad surfaces. Ships and barges have been made with It. Skyscrapers find it a stout foundation. Farms alone use nearly one-fourth of the United States' cement for Innu merable purposes." Elgin to Preserve Trees Over 1,000 Years Old Elgin. ? Cedar trees that were good sized saplings during the first cru sades, according to foresters, have been turned over to the Illinois Nat ural Study society of Elgin by the city, and will be cared for In perpe tuity by the society. Only one other large grove of arbor vltae. or white cedars, Is said to exist In the state. Foresters estimate that many of the cedars in Elgin are more than 1,000 years old, and that very probably the present grove Is a part of a large woods which was well developed in the Ninth or Tenth century. The trees belong to the same family of plants that Include ttoe famous <edars of Leb anon. Scientists say that, barring ex ternal accidents and disease, there Is no reason why the trees should not live another 1,000 years. The society, according to Carl F. Gronemann, president, plans to place a permanent label on every tree In the 121-acre park, and to maintain the grove as a scientific preserve and as a public show place. Brings Sunshine to Aunt; $100,000 Is Her Reward New Vork. ? By tlit" terms ot the will of Virginia 1. Leinan, Brooklyn, her niece, Gladys M. Stevenson, Is made the principal beneficiary, receiving more than $100,000. The bequest is made because "she Is young and has not been prepared to cope with the world or to earn her liv ing therein" and because she brought "sunshine and happiness" into the lift of her aunt. Miss Stevenson lived with her aunt since the deuth of Peter Leman 15 years ago. Draw Straw* Sublette. Kan.? In the recent county primary the race for the Republican nomination resulted In a triple tie, the three candidates receiving the same number of votes. After discussing the matter from every angle it was decided to draw straws for the covet ed honor. A large crowd was present to see Oscar Yardly draw the long straw and to be proclaimed the nom inee for the place. long hind ones, jumps like a kangaroo, covering 10 or 12 feet.

Vera Alilne Hall, an ac tress weighing 98 pounds, was con victed In General Sessions court of whipping Edward S. Hurley, a six-foot motion picture agent, in his offices on September 8. Sentence was suspended. Miss Hall admitted in court that she became excited when she visited Hur ley's offices to make him retract al legedly disparaging statements about her, and that she lashed him with a three-foot dog leash. She declared, however, that she employed the leash only when Hurley made a gesture which led her to believe he was going to attack her.

Department Many n valuable bull Is rendered useless by Improper care and manage ment, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The Importance of exercise is often underestimated, and many bulls, after tlieir value has been proved, are found to be sterile or slow breeders, due largely to close confinement and lack of activity. This I Is more true of dairy bulls, perhaps, because of their temperament, which makes them more difficult to handle. Regular exercise helps materially to keep the bull in good condition. Any method that will make the sluggish bull take exercise regularly and with out overwork is satisfactory. The main point is for him to get it. In some countries bulls are yoked like oxen and used to pull a plow, to haul manure, or to do other farm work. Where there Is only one bull, special hitching arrangements for work on a cart may be made. ThUs the bull not only gets his exercise but at the same time does useful farm work. A tread mill Is sometimes used, but is not al ways satisfactory because the bull sometimes learns tricks for stopping the machine and needs to be watched. A pen large and roomy enough for exercising may be all that is needed for some bulls, but others are lazy and need to be forced to exercise. A young bull turned In the lot with an older one will usually cause the older one to take his "dally dozen." The younger bull will usually be active enough to keep out of danger if the pen Is large enough to prevent his being cornered. The owner should use his judgment as to the merits of this plan. Hulls may be Induced to exercise themselves with an empty barrel or keg by bunting or rolling It around the pen. The keg may be left on the pround or hung by a rope or chain low enough so the bull can butt It with his head. A block of wood, with th? corners removed, will serve the same purpose. Some hulls spend hours play ing with contrivances of this sort, while others pay little attention to them. When an exercise pen is not avail able, It is a common practice to tie the bull to a ring which slides on a sus pended wire or cable* 75 to 100 feet long and high enough above the bull's head to prevent him from getting his feet over the lead chain, which should be 12 to 15 feet long. A revolving sweep will give the bull some exercise, If he will use It. of Agriculture.) Many Animals Inspected During Year Just Ended Slaughter of nearly 80,000,000 ani mals in establishments operating un der federal meat Inspection during the year ended June 30, 1924, Is shown by figures recently compiled by the bu reau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture. The exact total is 70,814,060, which Is more than 0.000.000 more animals than were slaughtered during any previous fiscal year. Hoes were the most numerous of all classes of stock, there being 54, 410,481 of these animals slaughtered. Tliis number, nearly three-fifths of the total, Is also a new high mark. Calves slaughtered during this rec ord-breaking year numbered 4,607,948, which is also the largest number on the records of the United States meat inspection service for any year. Cat tle and sheep killed under the super vision of government Inspectors num bered 9,188,652 and 11,505,001, respec tively. This record slaughter of animals In dicates an increased total meat con sumption In the United States, as would be expected with the growing population. It also shows what a com prehensive service the United States Department of Agriculture renders In the Inspection of the nation's meat supply. x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x??x? Live Stock Facts <~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~> The loss of little pigs will mean the loss of big profits. ? ? ? The wise stockman recognizes that careful attention to little details pays well in the end. ? ? ? Too much skim milk or loo much thin slop tends to produce a "pot-bellied" type of pig. Middlings should not make up too much of the ration for either the sow or the pigs for It causes the pigs to scour. ? ? * Pure breds of good quality do bet ter in the feed lot than scrubs or com mon stock. ? * ? It Is poor economy to stint the feed ing of the suckling sow. The cheapest gains are made by the pig in feeding the sow liberally. ? ? ? A canvass of live stock feeders over the entire country shows that pure breds make about 40 per <^ent more product for their owners than scrubs or common stock when fed in the same way. ? ? ? Live stock will acquire a taste for, and will pasture on, sweet clover with apparent relish. If turned on the field ?during the tlrst few weeks of its growth. For the first few days they should be kept on the sweet clover ex elusively. ? ? ? Sheep by nature are active animals and demand two things in their daily diet and they are succulence and va riety. Without them, no matter how well the ration may be balanced, de rangement of the digestive tract will become more or less manifest* I HUMAN ELEMENT FOR ' SUCCESS IN POULTRY Throe big factors -enter into success In poultry work. These ure: Finance, location und the human element. A large amount of finance does not always contribute to tbe success of a commercial poultryman. He should have fin:inces enough to carry him through the first year but one should remember that a hen knows nothing of marble halls. Some people get just as good results from straw sheds as they wpuld in houses costing much money, providing the premises are kept clean. Location is Important with regard to arrangement of flock and closeness to a market. If at a distance from a market you have to buy higher feed and pay more for labor, but it is not necessary to live too close to a mar ket. You can develop retail trade and will not necessarily have to sell your eggs on the market. The remaining factor is the human element that enters Into the work. The human element in anything is the controlling element. Something in the human element spells failure or suc cess. The ability to do is one factor. Into ability enter the physical and mental elements. Some people are mentally incapable. Mental ability does not always mean lack of power, but lack of concentration. You must be capable of concentrating your mind upon the work. The world is full of people always trying to find some thing better. The quitter in life is going to be put out of business even before he gets a good start. Honesty Is another of the human elements that enter into the work. Some people are notable liars and are unscrupulous in their dealings. Roup Can Be Eradicated Only With Difficulty Fowls suffering from roup in such mild form that its presence passes unobserved and frequently unsuspect ed often introduce the disease Into a flock, from which It can be eradicated only with great difficulty, according to Dr. C. C. Llpp, director of the animal health laboratory at South Dakota State college. Three types of roup are common ? the comb, the nasal and the mouth types. The symptoms in clude small scabby swellings on comb and wattles, nasal discharges and dif ficult noisy breathing, and small scab by areas on the tongue, mouth lining and' throat. There is also reduced vitality and egg production, and fre quently death in from one to three weeks. Careful Culling Will Improve Egg Production T. S. Townsley, poultry culling spe cialist at the college of agriculture, University of Missouri, says that since pullet culling is based upon estimates of the future production, while hen culling is based upon characteristics which indicate past production, pullet culling is not so much of an exact science as Is the culling of hens. He adds that much can be done, however, toward Improving the average produc tion of the flock, by carefully culling the pullets before the laying season starts, using as a basis the rate of ma turity, general vigor, quality, and lay ing type. Laying Pullets Require Abundance of Good Grain Laying pullets need an abundance of grain to keep the body warm and maintain the small surplus of fat needed by all good layers, stated Prof. A. G. Philips of the Purdue university poultry department. A higher percentage of grain should be fed from October to January, slight ly less from January to March and a normal ration In the spring. This en ables pullets to keep up the body weight and still produce eggs. Most pullets that were early hatched, prop erly matured and ready to lay In the winter fell down on the Job when cold weather hit them, because they were too thin. Poultry Facts +*+*+*++++++++++?+++++++++ Clean, Infertile eggs will bring a better price on the open market. ? ' ? ? Hens are heavy feeders and will lay more eggs If you give them a light so they can see to eat. ? ? * Chicks hatched from weak parents never make as good growth under the same conditions as those produced from healthy stock. ? ? ? Old geese should only be plucked when the feathers are ripe. Breeding geese cannot be reasonably expected to yield a crop of feathers and lay vigorous, hatchable eggs. ? ? ? Hens under lights, giving them 14 feeding hours each day, made an extra profit of ninety cents per hen above those having only normal daylight hours, find poultry workers of the North Carolina State college. ? ? ? A pinch of sodium fluoride applied on the neck, under the wings, region of the vent, flufT, breast, etc., will kill the body lice on the hens. The hens should be treated so as to keep the lice from getting on the young birds. ? ? ? All eggs that are malformed or are ridged or have heavy deposits of shell on them, or that are cracked or thinly shelled, should not be set for they will either not hatch at all or will have crippled or malformed chicks or will be easily broken. * ? ? Eggs older than three days cannot be classed with fresh eggs. Yet, with proper <-are, an egg a week old may be to all Intents and purposes, in a fresh condition. Poultiymen catering to a strictly fresh egg market make their deliveries several times a week. : I APPROPRIATE After many conferences had been held by the board of directors of a small-town bank about buying a new water-cooler, a grouchy old member had this to say: Gentlemen, before we adjourn, I move thai our next conference be merry-go-round." hey looked at him In aston ishment, he added the tag of expla nation: "We never get anywhere." ?
