revel In my agony. II did not perish
at sea, as was reported. but was picked

Tight Covers for Clsterns.

An unfreezable cistern that h as run
ming water can be made by inclosing
with a tight-htting cover. A New
York subscriber has tried cement, but
every winter it breaks up as far as the
frost reaches. He wishes to make 3
pond fifteen feet across to contain
running water. Prof. Walter Flint
of the Maine agricultural college, says:
"The only way to make cement cis-
tern that will stand winter weather is
to have u tight cover. With running
water and cover, freezing can be
prevented, and that is the only way to
save cistern no matter what 1t is
made of. Freezing will destroy even
boiler iron tank. The chances are
with cement cistern, even if the
water is drawn off, the outside frost
will crack the cement "-.American
Agriculturist
