Than One of PIanking.

An excellent dipping tank can be
ma lie of cement. It can be built as
cheap or cheaper than with boards
and is much more durable. We would
advise all who are contemplating max
ing any articles Of cement, whether it
be tanks, posts, sidewalks or anything
else to send to the secretary of agli-
culture, Washington, for farmers bull
ietin No. 235.
Dig the hole for the cement Dip
ping tank eight inches longer and
wider than the interior of the tank is
to be. The end of the tank from
which the animals will make their exit
should be slanting, as shown at A in
the drawing. After the hole has been
dug, mix the mortar at the rate of one
part cement to three parts sand. Fill
in the bottom of the hole with a
smooth layer, four inches thick. Leave
this till it has dried sufficiently to
hold up man. Then make box out
of inch lumber that is eight inches
narrower and four inches shorter than
