Watkin SjraSleete, Mil! Cavemen Needed To Design Comfortable Place To Sleep The animal beat even the early caveman by several mil lion yean In the construction ot a reitlng place, a toft place to sleep. And man, like most of the lower animals, devised and used various materials that would assure a degree of comfort, softness, and warmth. , When early man and his wife started "cave keeping," they piled a heap of leaves in a corner on which to rest when the day was done. It was more of a nest than a bed. Later they substituted a pile of green, evergreen boughs. Animal furs were softer and warmer, but this Improve ment had to come a little later when early man had devised some sort of a skinning knife, whereby he could remove the pelt from the animal he had killed. ' Soft Feathers Even then, he must have been bright enough to know that feathers would be as soft as any material available at the time, but he had no way oi keeping feathers in one place lone enough to sleep on mem He hadn't any sort of fab ric to make a sack to contain them and every breeze that entered the musty cave blew away part, or most of the bedding. So feather beds were a Ions way in tne tuiure. . That early human must have become just as tired as does modern man, lor it was exhausting work chasing wild animals all over the land acaoe. The only way he could secure an animal was run it down, or get close enough to hit it with a club. He hadn't found out about the sling, the curved throwing stick, the blow gun, or the bow and ar row. He had to get his meat the hard way, by bodily con tact. So, when night came he was bushed. He must have desired layer of some soft material between his aching body and the cold, clammy cave floor. No Television And those cave nights were murder. He had to go to bed with the sun, there would have been no point in staying up, he had no light, no TV, no radio, no newspaper to read and no refrigerator to raid It's a wonder he made it, but he was as hard as the bed he had to sleep on. When the morning came, after a hard night on his lumpy bed he would have been pretty dumb not to have noticed the wildfowl babies asleep in their beds of feath ers. Must be he could have Imagined what comfort and warmth they enjoyed. If he thought about it at all he must have been resentful of those insect children, such as the spittle bugs or the pray ing mantis that slept so snug ly in a mass of fluffy froth. Sack Called Tick The years rolled past, other men, in other times, made a sack from cloth and called it a "tick," and stuffed it with some sort of filling. From fibre of plants, or the softer parts of the plants themselves, or from the fur of animals, or the feathers of birds, he filled the tick. Various plants of the field or the forest furnished materials; he probably tried them all, for ticks have been filled with hay, straw, horse hair, wood shavings, leaves, and softer materials, like the fluffy parts ot milkweed and dandelion. The softer beds, the fluffy cotton or the spongy rubber came later, and even out-slept the feathers. But even there, the very best we have so far accomplished hardly com pares, In warmth, comfort, and softness, with the fur lined bedroom, and fur mat tress on which the baby rabbit spends his early mfancy. Dobbin Still Rules In fhe Farm Yard College Station, Texas-fllPD- Although the number of horses on Texas farms and ranches has steadily declined, it still numbers more than either goats or hogs, Texas A and M college reports. Texas leads the nation in number of horses and the average farm value of horses In the state increased 187 per cent between 19S4 and 1960 while the U.S. average in creased 37 per cent.
