FLOOR FOR A DAIRY.
No Material Known to BE Superior t.
Cement.

No Material Known to BE Superior to
Cement.
For dairy-room floor, nothing is SUI
perior to cement; it also serves an adj
mTable purpose in cellars, wash-rooms,
stables, etc. There is no secret about
laying excellent cement floors. Make
an excavation to solid earth, which will
probably be nearly foot and fill with
stone or coarse gravel for foundation.
Use a level and square to make the
foundation level. Next mix five parts
of coarse gravel to one of common ce-
ment. Mix dry, then wet slightly and
mix again thoroughly. Spread this two
inches at time and tramp until solid.
There should be six inches of this; then
the floor is ready for the finishing coat,
or liquid stone as it is called, three parts
of coarse, clean, gritty sand to one of
Portland cement, thoroughly mixed.
Sift and wet small amount at one
time, and spread an inch in thickness.
1t should be laid in strips as wide as
one can easily reach across with a
trowel. To accomplish the work with
least trouble, get down on the knees on
board of the thickness that you wish
the cement, and with a short, straight
edge keep the floor level. After strip
is laid, go over it with the trowel max.
ing it perfectly smooth. Let the floor
harden few days.-Hollister Sage, in

HINTS FOR SHEEP-RAISERS.
Western Rural.1

Western Rural
NATURALLY, as wealth increases, the
demand for finer grades of wool will
increase. There is no protitin growing
poor wool, anyhow.
BE careful not to feed too many roots
to the breeding eve. Roots are largely
composed of water and too much cold
water all understand is injurious to the
eve.
IT is of the utmost Importance that
the breed of sheep selected shall be fit
ted to the conditions under which they
are to be kept else the wool will neces-
sarily be affected.
Wool must be equally strong the en-
tire length of the fiber, or necessarily
it will be of less value to the manufact-
urer; and wool Of that kind can not be
grown unless the sheep is kept in good
condition all the time.
SHEEP breeding and wool growing
must excite the enthusiasm of the flock
master, if the business achieves the
highest success. The man who is care
less with his sheep-pays little atten-
ton to them-will never get rich at the
business.
No ONE would think of engaging in
business off the farm requiring special
knowledge, and certainly count upon
success, if he didnotpossess that knowl-
edge. Yet we have known men who
knew nothing at all about sheep, get a
big flock to start with. 1t is not safe.
ONCE in awhile, or oftener, some one
AYERS that sheep will get along very
well without water Yes, they will get
along with very little water if they
have succulent food or snow to eat but
it is u poor get along;" and no sheep
that is deprived OF water will grow a
perfect fleece,
CosTIvENEss in sheep is very apt to
occur in winter when no roots or en-
silage are fed. In such case the value
of oil meal can scarcely be ovcresti-
mated. If the fioclkmaster has no green
food we believe it will pay him to buy
some oil meal at any cost that anybody
will likely have to pay.
VOLUMES have been written against
the dog, but it must be concluded that
the dog is here to stay. Then raise the
dog tax and pay for the loss of sheep
killed by the dogs properly and we'll 1t
is nobody's business, we suppose, if the
community chooses to feed dogs on
mutton If the community is willing to
pay for it. The trouble has been that
1t has not been willing to do that.
