In constructing a cistern the first
and most important is the digging of
the hole. Great care must be taken
to make it perfectly round and smooth
1t is best to dig the hole nearly the
size wanted and then finish it later
when there is less danger from soil
ing the edge. The bottom should be
left as nearly level as possible; a lit
tie lower at the outlet.
After the hole has been dug a frame
must be put in to hold the soft con-
crete in place until 1t has hardened.
To make this frame. dig little ditch

boards in place can be made of short
boards trimmed SO that when the ends
are nailed together they will make a

thirds of the way up from the bottom

Filters in Concrete Wall.

1. How much Portland cement,
stone and gravel will be required to
build 8 foot wall 10 feet by 35 feet.
2. Which Is the best wall, the one
built of gravel and cement alone, or
the one containing cement, gravel and
stone filler, and why?
1t would take Portland cement SO
barrels, gravel 50 yards, stone filters
Fl yards. 2. A concrete wall built
with gravel and cement, without
using stone filters Is a good wall, but
where stone filters are to be had, it
is policy to use them, for when they
are thoroughly bedded in the concrete
they do not weaken the wall and by
using them there would be a great
saving of cement. One-fifth of the
wall can be filters and in a wall two
feet thick even more filters can be
used with safety. The above esti-
mate Is based on one-fifth filters and
figured solid, SO whatever openings
are in the wall are to come out of
these figures. A barrel of Portland
cement mixed eight parts gravel to
one part cement with stone filters will
build forty cubic feet of wall.

tate and drew no more salary during
