MUSICAL COWS.
"I am going to tell you a story this

"Musical cows I" exclaimed Nancy.
"Did they slug, 'Moo, moo, moo?' "
"1 never henrd of musical cows be

something quite new In the way of a
Story."
"Let's hav"o It quickly, Daddy," said
Nancy.
"Well," said Daddy, "there Is a farm
which I have heard of where they do
Rome rather Interesting things and 1
asked the Fairy Queen to send one of
her messengers out to the farm to
hnve a talk with thene musical cows.
This Is the talk which took place
which I will now tell you."
"Musical cows," said Nancy again;
"It does sound funny."
"You mean they sound funny," cor
rected Nick.
"No mutter what I snld," Nancy re
marked, "for I would like to hear the
etoiy nboul them."
. "So would I," said Nick.
'"What "Is this I hear about you?'
asked tho fairy of ono of the cows on

"The cow turned her head and
looked at the. fairy out of her big
eyes.
" 'What Is It you have heard about
me?' she asked,
" 'I've heard Unit all of the co"ws on
this fnrm have music plnyod to them
while they arc being milked. Is this
a true story?'
'"Quite true,' Bnld the cow, 'Quite

"'Well,' said tho fairy, 'I never
heard of anything like that before.'
"ii'ou'ie glad to hear something
new and something different, aren't
you?' asked the cow.
" 'Of course, I am, said tho fairy.
'And I would like to hear Just how
you cows like tho music and just what
sort of music you have and why you
hnve It and everything else you can
think of iL'ling me about your con
certs and yourselves Will you do

"'Certainly,' said tho cow, 'If you
will grant me ono fnvor.'
" 'What Is that?' asked Uie fairy.
" 'If you will let me chew my cud

"'Certainly.' snld the fnlry. 'Does
chewing your cud soothe you?'-
" 'Oh, most certainly, Just Ilko mu
sic does.' ,
"The fairy laughed to herself, for
she didn't think cud chewing and con
certs sounded much nllke, but they ev
idently had tho same results I
"You see,' said tho cowv'our farm
er thought It might be a good scheme,
I don't know where ho got the Idea
first. Rut. at any rate, ho thought It
would ho a fino Idea to see If we
would give more milk If we were
Foothcd while we were being milked
or If we had something nice to listen
to. So he tried It.
"At first we wero a little nervous
nt heurlng the strange sounds hut only
for a while. You see Uie farmer uses
one of those talking machines which
plays songs and dnnce3.'
"You novor dance, do you?' asked
tho fairy. She couldn't quite Imagine
n cow dancing I
"'No,' said the cow, 'we weren't
strong for dancing. But we do like to
hear the. dance music. Well, after a
little while, we saw that the music
came from those queer machines nnd
now It Is nlwnys facing us so wo ran
look nt the thing which makes mimic
for us.
" 'Sometimes our fnrmor has had
other sort of music for us, too, people
have played the violins nnd banjos
nnd we hovo greatly enjoyed that.
'"As I told you before tho hornes

CONCRETE FLOORS
CORN TO HOGS
Forms for a Concrete Feeding Floor.
The high prices of foodstuffs hnvo
turned the fanner's attention to means
whereby the cost of feeding corn to
hogs may bo decreased. It has been
found that there Is a saving In com
when It Is fed on n properly construct
ed feeding floor. Ohl plank or wood
floors arc not desirable, as they fur
nlsh hnrhorngo for rats and mice. Con
crete' feeding floors do not have this
objection. They also are un aid In tho
tunservutlon of fertilizer nnd In tho
sanitation of the feed lot. Tho fall
days, before harmful frosts set In,
offer nn excellent time for tho con
struction of such n floor.
The site of tho feeding floor should
he well drained and situated conveni
ently with respect to tho feed supply,
water, bams and lots. Where tho
ground never freezes, drainage foun
dations are unnecessary. If tho loca
tion selected Is poorly drained, provl
slon should bo modo for good under
drainage. Tho floor must bo grndetl
or sloped so that water will not col
lect nnd freeze on It In winter nnd so
tlint manure-wnshlngs may be caught
and carried, by means of gutters, to
n watertight concreto manure pit.
The methods of constructing the
several kinds of concreto feeding
floors for cattle, hogs and shcop are
qulto similar. The structure should
he made five Inches thick. In con
structing feeding floors for hogs the
concreto apron around tho edge
should extend deep enough Into the
ground so that hog wallows will not
undermine tho floor and cause It to
break off.
Ue Clean Sand and Gravel.
Sand for concreto should ho clenn
nnd should hnvo grains grading In slzo
from fine to coarse. With dirty sand
no amount of cement will mnke strong
concrete. Bank-run gravel, Just dug
from the pit or taken from the stream
bed, seldom runs even nnd rnrcly has
tho right proportions of sand and peb
bles for making the best concrete. The
ntxture most suitable has one part
land and two parts gravel, measured
oy volume. In which all sizes passing
through a quarter-Inch screen nre con
sidered sand. As there Js generally
too much sand for tho gravel, It Is
advisable to separate the sand from
the gravel and later remix them In
proper proportion.
Feeding Floor Partially Complete,
PREPARED LAND BEST
FOR EASY IRRIGATION
Best Returns From Crops Where
Soil Has Been Leveled.
Spots Top High to Receive Water
Should Be Cut Down and Used to
Fill Up "Potholes" Fall Is
Beat Tlmo for Work.
The best returns from cereals grown
under Irrigation can be obtained only
when the land has been well leveled.
Properly leveled Innds permit ensy,
thorough ond completo Irrigation.
Poorly leveled lands aro expensive to
Irrigate, require more water and moro
labor thnn land well leveled, and re
turn a less yield per acre. Spots too
high to receive wn'ter should bo cut
down nnd used to fill up "potholes,"
whero water naturally collects. Somo
objection to removing tho high spota
Is mnde, because the subsoil Is there
by exposed and unproductive spots
result. However, a spot too high for
wnterlng Is Just ns unproductive, and
remains permanently bo, whereas tho
southern Idaho subsoil, If exposed
through leveling, can soon be made
productive by the use of manures and
alfalfa. Before tho leveling opera
tion Is begun, tho general contour of
tho Innd thould be well noted. Nat
ural drainage should be left open so
far as possible. The leveling should
conform so far as possible to the nat
ural contour of the land.
The best time to do leveling Is In
the fall before the land is plowed, ns
the leveled and plowed land can settle
during the winter and be In ideal con
dition for seeding In the spring. It
Is not advisable to plow the entire
field before leveling Is begun. More
horsepower Is required to null the
FOR FEEDING
WILL SAVE MONEY
A fairly rich mlxturo mnkes Uie
best concreto floors. A good mixture
consists of one part Portland cement,
two and one-half prtrts sand and lve
pnrts screened gravel or crushed rock,
Ono hng of cement may be considered
ns holding one cubic foot of loose
cement. This Is n convenience In
measuring the proper proportions, as
tho cubic foot mny be used as a unit
In measuring tho aggregate.
In mixing the concrete, the cement,
Hand nnd gravel should be 'thoroughly
mixed In n dry stato until tho mnss In
of uniform color. Just enough water
then should be added so that a small
nmount of water will appear at tho top
when the concrete Is. well tamped In
place.
Proper Curing Important
Proper curing of the floor Is as Im
portant as .thorough mixing of tho
concrete. In hot weather each newly
laid section should he shaded from
tho sun for three days. In any season,
as soon as tho concreto has set up so
that water will not wash out the
cement tho new concreto should be
sprinkled and kept wet for 48 hours.
Thereafter It should be Hooded with
water .morning and noon for n week.
At the ond of that time the floor mny
bo used for feeding, but heavily load
ed wagons should not be nllowed
upon It for nt least one mohth nor
should loose animals bo permitted on.
Its surface.
The construction of feeding floors Is
similar to that used In building con
creto sidewalks, only on n lurger
scnlo as shown In the Illustration.
Tho cost of n concreto floor Is de
pendent upon so ninny conditions thnt
no reliable estimate can ho given.
Prices of materlnls and labor vary
considerably In different sections. On
many farms sand and gravel can be
easily obtained from a creek or gravel
bank, while In other Instances they
must bo hauled some distance.
