How to Use Cement on Farm Told
by Speaker Before State Institute

bring the mixture TO the consistency
of mortar. Add the proper quantity Of
crushed rock and mix all together. dt-
ter which il is ready for use. In this
manner the sand grains are all COW
cred with the finer particles of cement
and the crushed rock when added has
all the voids filed with the temperate
mixture. This undoubtedly gives the
greatest strength for material used.
A very common method, however, is
TO mix all three parts at one time while
yet dry, and then to mix with water
until the mixture will pack well and
handle with a shovel.
Get the form walls rigid and do not
use lumber that is too dry, as it takes
up moisture and changes its shape 50
as to injure the concrete in setting.
Do not allow concrete work TO dry
out fast as cracks will appear. I
should be protected from the sun 70:
three TO five days, and sprinkled with
water to insure even setting through
out the concrete.
In two weeks concrete gains
strength sufficient for ordinary use. bI
60 days should elapse before it is Civ

THE CRAFTY WOLF.
Stories of His Man Eating Feats Said
to Be Untrue.

A skeptical person calling himself
st. CroiX has been trying TO find out
whether wolves and bears are malign-
ed by the popular stories of their man
eating ways and writes his concIu-
sions for Recreation.
First he tried running down the sto-
ries told in newspaper dispatches.
Fooled in this effort. he turned TO the
Indians. They knew the gray wolf.
having wintered and summered With
him. Had they ever known of an III
dian being killed by one? N-no, but
Mingan was very crafty and very
much to be dreaded.
Quite so. But, once for all, had he
ever to their knowledge killed n man?
No, but they had heard So it went
always the same intangible. uncon-
firmed rumOr and the same absence OF
proof.
''Now for few facts as to the Wolf"
writes st. Croix. He can 90 eight
days without food and can then eat
forty pounds of meat at sitting. 50
the Indians say. This is pretty fair
for an animal weighing but eighty
pounds. Yet we do not know the
length of the sitting.
The wolf will not venture on glare

THE MOONS VOLCANOES.
Causes of the Gigantic Orators and
e-.75 Great Fissure Eruptions.

1t is evident to any one who glances
upward at the moon that its volcanoes
are on an immensely larger scale than
those which stud our globe. One eX-
PLANTATION, now abandoned, is that the
force of gravitation being there only
one-sixth that of the earth the matter
expelled from crater would be spread
far more widely, and explosions would
be generally on far more magnificent
scale. Professor Pickering quotes this
theory only to refute it in some COM
PARSONS which he made between the
great volcanic region of Hawaii and
one of the smaller craters of the moon.
The facts seem to him to be that the
larger craters on the moon came into
existence when the thin, solid crust
covering the molten interior was, ow-
ing to the qualification and contraction
of the crust, much too small to contain
the liquid material. The craters were
therefore formed by the lava bursting
through the crust and SO relieving the
pressure. Later, after this relief had
been found and the crust had thicken-
ed the interior regions by cooling
shrank away from the solid shell.
which was now too large and, being
insufficiently supported, caved In, per-
hitting the great fissure eruptions
which produced the so called lunar
seas. These extensive outfiows of lava
dissolved the original solid shell when
ever they came into contact with it,
much as they do in the present day in
Hawaii. Had the moon been much
smaller these eruptions might not have
occurred at all, and if the moon had
been much larger their relative size
would have been greater Most proba-
bly, on the earth similar outbursts were
greater and our original gigantic era
tiers were destroyed by the outflow of
| the earlier archaic rocks which COM
pletely submerged and dissolved them.

THE ESKIMO BABY.
How the Little One Is Carried and
Cared For by the Mother.

How the Little One Is Carried and
Cared For by the Mother.
The arrival i'll the world of the
youthful Eskimo is not greeted by
the orthodox cradle and swaddling
clothes. Practically till he can shift
for himself he lives absolutely naked
inside his mothers sealskin blouse,
skin to skin keeping him warm.
This arrangement allows the mother
to go about her work almost imme-
diately, and she can also travel and
hunt without perambulator and
without having to leave any one at
home TO mind the baby. The moth
er's dress is almost exactly like the
fathers, except that it has a long sort
of tail reaching nearly to the ground,
embryo, no doubt, of the modern
train"
Spared the miseries of soap and
water and early weaned to the readily
swallowed diet of blubber and raw
seal meat, the infant rapidly develops
that invaluable layer of subcutaneous
| fat which. while it enhances the ''jol-
ly' appearance of the lads and the
| shapeliness of the maidens, assists ma
terially in economy in clothing
Thus in their frigid cline, once in
their skin tent, the whole family will
divest themselves of every stitch of
clothing. unembarrassed by the fact
| that so many families share the tent
with them. Sociability is early devel-
oped when ones next door neighbor
on each side is only separated by an
imaginary line between the deerskin
| you sleep on and the one he uses. The
winter deerskin serves as bed and
bedding ut night and as parlor furni-
ture during the day. Community of
goods is almost imperative under this
arrangement Thus when one kills a
seal all are fed, and likewise when
he doesn't all go hungry together

The impression He Gave.

His honor Judge Willis, on one occa-
sion going home in an omnibus which
landed him at an inn known as the
Green Man, as usual passed the time
in friendly discourse with the passen-
gers. To one housewife who had been
marketing he remarked that. owing to
free trade, she was enabled to buy
much more for her money than If she
lived in tariff country. To others he
talked freely and dispensed counsel
and advice indiscriminately. Arrive
at his destination, lie intimated to the
conductor, Il want to get out at the
Green Man" Accordingly the omnibus
slowed down, but as he was leaving
his seat lady touched him on the
sleeve and earnestly inquired, my

Farmers are coming 10 use con- |
crete quite generally for sidewalks,
foundations, stable floors, etc, and its
use is quite satisfactory. Where
properly put down it is proving both
permanent and economical. The
farmers themselves can mix and ap-
ply the concrete with entire success,
after observing the process or care
fully noting a few necessary rules, anu
thus save large part of the expense.
Fred r. Crane, who has charge
of the farm mechanics department Of
our college of agriculture at Urbana
gave the following directions at the
annual meeting OF the Illinois Farm
ers' Institute.
This is a cement age. The farmer
will find concrete one of the mosi
useful things in his construction work
The four makes of Portland cement Ia
Illinois are giving general satisfaction.
Ideal concrete is made of cement.
sand and crushed rock. The sand
should be coarse. clean and sharp.
River bottom sand. when fine and
round. should not be used where much
strength is required.
Tests of sand.
AS a test of sand, rub it in the hand
and if there is much dirt left on the
hand discard the sand. If, when a
large handful of the same sand is
thrown into a pail of water. it leaves
the water muddy, discard il. \ dirty
sand makes weak concrete. Crushed
rock is much better than screened
gravel because of the rougher edges
Following are the four recognized
mixtures for concrete:
l. Rich miXtme-One part Port
land cement, two parts of clean
coarse sand, four parts of crushed
rock. This is used for floors. fence
posts. etc.
,. Medium mixture-1-2 l % tparts
respectively of cement, sand ani
crushed rock) This mixture is USED
for walks, thin walls. etc
,. Ordinary miXture.-1-3-6; fol-
heavy walls. piers, abutments. etc.
1. Lean miXture.-1-4-S; for fOOtings
and in places where volume and not
great strength is needed
When gravel is used the proportions
are one part of cement and from sin
to nine parts of gravel, according t.
the amount of sand in the gravel
To make one cubic yard of concrete
the following respective amounts OF
cement are required: Rich mixture
IL barrels; medium mixture. IA ba:
rels; ordinary mixture, l Is barrels:
lean mixture, seven-eighths of a barrel
In construction work such as floors
barns, fence posts, bridges, etc, rein
forcements of iron are absolutely IS
sential. The beginner will need tho
supervision of an expert in using rein
forcements.
