C1sterns for Farm Buildings.

In the endeavor to have everything as
convenient as possible about farm houses
and farm buildings, there are few things
more worthy of being cared for than cis-
terms to hold the rain water from the
roof. Even where pumps are supplied
it is often an advantage to have cisterns
in addition, as soft water, which pumps
will not always supply, is of great value.
At any rate it often happens that though
there may be pump convenient and
water furnished by it all one can desire,
even the little labor that pump re-
quires for a single horse or COW becomes
agreat task when many are to be supplied.
We know of one farm where rs head of
COWS, more or less, are on hand; and all
the water they require has to be fur
nished from pump, and it is no small
job to do. Yet on this very farm the
land lies SO convenient that cistern
could be built on an elevation little
above the cattle yard, and all the water
from the roof could go in it and be drawn
off into the cattle yard by its own natural
flow without pump or labor of any kind.
So it often happens for household sup
plies. A cistern can be built which would
cost little, and yet save the women folks

water they all so much DESIRE
There is prevalent idea that they cost
q great deal to make, but it is far less than
is generally imagined. If the land is solid

sides of the natural ground may be
shaped like wall, and lining of mortar.
say half an inch, put on before the final
cement coat is given. But if there is
any chance of settling, SO as to crack the
mortar framework, four-inch brick
work may be built around first Most
ground is, however, firm enough for the
purpose. The mortar as it is laid on to
form the lining or framework of the tank
should be very we'll worked by the
trowel. The object is to work out all the
air. 1t is the air spaces in the wall that
make it porous, and it is through the
pores that the water escapes. A working
of the trowel backwards and forwards q
few times over the soft mortar expels the
air and closes the pores. This is
especially important to be borne in mind
when applying the cement. This need
not be put on very thick. The merest
film, if properly worked, is sufficient

With her smile SO sweet and rare,
or the happy days Of her childhood
Ere her life had known no care
when her heart frst knew loves dreaming g
And the world was radiant With Iights
When those silver locks waved golden
Upon this brow SO white.
Dearest mother, in your dreaming,
Does your teart eser know regret
For those days of love and pleasure
Days you never can forgetf
Does there never come, dear mother,
Through the dreary toll OF day,
Visions sweet II one who loved you
When your heart was warm and gay
Do your thoughts e'er wander backward
Through sad memory's grassy lane
Do you ne'er forget the present
And live o'er those days asa1n
Ahi methinks. my faithful mother,
In your heart there Is grave;
And over It affections willows
Evermcre shall sadly wave.
Gentle mother, bear your burden;
Weep, In silence, DER your loss;
And remem ber Gods sweet motto
