CONCRETE CURING BARN
Cknation Ptaas Combination
CfcHmg.tagupe,,-' v'i;t
Ckmson College, Jan.?Fire pro!
taction, alone mRhes ft worthwhile
for W. M. Manning, of Sumter county,
to build his tobacco curing house
"With concrete tile, be nays. Anotiter ?
big reason is that he can cure ewo?
potatoes in It when the tobacco is
out of the way. ,,
There is always fine dancer about ,
a wooden curing house, reminds J.
E. Hooker, agricultural engineer for
ihe Clemaon College. extension Service,
who has designed a combination
concrete curing house. If a 1
curing of tobacco burns \n a concrete
tile, barn, only a few replace- ;
mente are necessary before continuing.
,
Mr. Hooker points out that hia (
combination curing baru is tightly i
built so as to - save materially , on }
fuel and to absolutely control the ;
temperature against unusual heat or <
cold, even in windstorms.
Another surprising 'fact is that a
concrete tile barn can be built for
about the price of a wooden one, i
says Mr. Hooker. He has plans for
a combination tobacco and sweet
potato curing barn that can be buili
for $400 to, $425. They can be.
built as quickly or more quickly than
plank bams.
Concrete buildings are permanent,
with indefinitely long life, reminds
Mr. Hooker. Th?y look better usually,
than frame barns. For these .
reasons they enhance the value of
I farm property more than wooden
I structures, declares Mr. Hooker.
By consulting the county farm
I agent any one interested in this or
I any other concrete farm structure
I may get the plans from Mr. Hooker

I $5,000 annually for a good cook.

' HUNTER MAKES F1NI)
Puck Contains Eskimo Arrow Imbedded
Deep in Body.
A successful hunter of this vicinity,
related one of his many interesting
experiences to a group of his
friends. ~ ~
It seems that /the hunter, while
hunting somewhere below Charleston,
had about killed the bag limit
and was selecting only big duck to
shoot when he realized that he had
knocked down an. unusually large
duck. Unfortunately, in- his hurry
to get home, it did'i^ot occur to him
to examine the big duck and deterImW
exactly what kind igf a duck it
| was.
The day after, . when he had re-1
turned home, ha was called to lodfc^
at one of the-ducks he bad killed., As
the duck had already , been dressed it
was too late to tell what kind of a
duck it was but it was discovered
that an Eskimo bone arrowhead was
imbedded in the breast of the duck.
It is believed that the arrow head,
Which is as sharp as a needle and
one and one-half inches in length,
was made from a walrus bone. The
meat around the arrow head was in
perfect condition and indicated that
the wound must have been healed
for several weeks. Doubtless the
duck was a visitor from beyond the
