obtainable for dairy cows when pas

membered that in all of this work
nothing hut good silage was fed. and
no spoiled silage was allowed TO accu-
mulate in or around the silo When

tavor to the milk produced from it.
almost invariably the cause is that the
silage has not been fed properly or
that spoiled silage has been used.
Ii should not be understood from this
discussion that the time of day food
is fed which may impart bad favor
TO the milk is Of no consequence. Al
feeds of this nature should be fed after
milking and not before TO avoid the
possibility Of producing an unpleasant
favor in the milk.

CEMENT MORTAR.
Instruction In Missing It Fer Making
Pipe or Draintile.

A subject that interests farmers is
the making of concrete pipe, either for
use In irrigating systems or as a sub
stitute for clay tile in drainage. From
the Arizona experiment station come
the following practical details of the
manufacture of such pipes in molds Of
two feet in length. The method of
mixing the cement mortar will be use
full for other kinds of cement work
also:
The sand should be selected with the
greatest care. 1t should be free from
clay or dirt and preferably composed
Of grains of varying sizes. Roughly
speaking, the strongest and densest
sand for mortar contains two-thirds
coarse grains and one-third much finer
grains. Often a gravelly sand can be
passed through q half inch mesh
screen and then mixed with one-half
its volume of fine sand.
A cement should be selected which
is very finely ground. rather slow set
ting and of unquestioned soundneSs.
Assuming the pipe 10 be fifteen inch
eS In diameter and the proportions of
the mortar to be one part cement 10
three and one-half parts sand. batch
can be made up as follows: One barrel
Gour sacks of cement and three and
a half barrels seven wheelbarrowsl of
sand. The sand and cement should be
mixed dry and turned three times with
shovels. Water is then added in an
amount sufficient TO bring the mortar
to q dry conSiStency-tha is. such
condition as viii require much lamp
ing to cause water to stand on the sur
face.
The batch should then be turned
twice or three times and coned. 1t is
profitable to work the mortar thor
oughly.

among the lads, some of whom were
dancing in terror on the bath side, l
hurried to the deep end. There, through
the water. beheld young Fudge fight
ing like a demon with a boy much big
ger than himself at the bottom of the
bath. Anticipating me, the bath attend
ant dived in and brought the pair Of
boys to the steps. So tight was Pudge's
grip that we had to shake him to make
him release the boy, who was blue and
apparently lifeless. The frightened lads
crowded round while the attendant and
the chief Of the bath used their efforts
on the unconscious boy. After working
for about twenty minutes they succeed
ed in restoring him. Meanwhile, l had
shepherded the lads into their boxes
and hurried them till they were dressed
and outside the building. Already
such is tale-bearing amongst lads-the
news had been carried to the restored
boys home. A distraught mother rushed
in just when we had dressed the lad
and pouring out maledictions on me and
all concerned took him away.
On inquiry we found that the big boy
who could not swim, had been racing
round the side of the bath and had
slipped and fallen in. Fudge, after see
ing him go under for the third time,
had concluded that he was drowning.
and had plunged in after him. The
humping he had bestowed Oh the
drowning boy was his application of a
few remarks which | had once made
about the rescue of drowning persons.
On the day that the big boy came back
to school, apparently none the worse for
his accident, the chief made speech
to the assembled school, eulogizing
Pudges efforts and calling for three
cheers in honor of his pluck and pres

Nut Growing Industry of the South.

"Nut growing is a comparatively new
industry in the south Atlantic and gulf
states, but it promises to develop into
one of the most important in that sec.
tion," said J. u. Reid, a prosperous plant
er of Florida. '"The most popular nut is
due to the development of grating it and
cracking it with machinery operated by
steam or electric power. This makes pos.
sble the marketing of the meats of the
nut ready for use.
'The demand is always much greater
than the supply and many planters are
now turning their attention to the nut
raising industry. 1t is not uncommon fol
a tree to bear as high as 200 pounds of
nuts in one season and most of these sell
at from 60 to 70 cents a pound. 1t does
not require much figuring to show that

sections are paying investments" WASH
