The Finished Tank.

draw a line from that to the upper corner, cutting along this line.
 This makes the ends in a level or wedge shape two feet ten inches wide at the top and two feet four inches wide at the bottom. These are nailed inside the two sides. and if yau have used one-inch lumber you have the correct width, three feet wide at top and two feet six inches at the bottom.
 This will not require bottom, but nail two strips of four-foot length across the top so as to rest on the two sides of the outside part of mold. This will support the inside or cone in proper place in the center.
 In constructing the tank lay a foundation of small stone covered with concrete grout This should be from four inches to six inches, depending on the soil. Then set your mold upon this, leaving out the core form at first. but having the firebox form in place.
 Now fill this with concrete, tamped in well to a depth of six inches. Then put your fue in place; this can be common six-inch stovepipe and ex- tend to the end of tank and then up to the end of chimney, as shown in sectional view.
 After you have this in place cover with concrete to the top of same or more. about seven inches thick; then upon this lay your re-enforcinS rods. These are not absolutely necessary, but as they make the permanency Of the work a positive fact it is advisable to use them. These rods can be quar- ter-inch iron rods and are laid two to the foot each way, as shown in sec tional illustration.
 After re-enforcing rods are in place fill with concrete until your depth of bottom is exactly 12 inches from the foundation. This gives the bottom about firebox a thickness of four inches, which is ample, and for usual purposes three inches would do. Place the inside form of core in position and fill to the top with con- crete and allow to stand in the forms until it begins to harden.

CATTLE EAT PRICKLY PEARS
Experiments Made at the New Mexico Experimental Station Show It to
 Be Good Feed

By Prof. B. r. Hare New Mexico Ex
 pertinent Staton.)
 The increased use of the prickly pear (the flat-jointed members of the genus opuntia) as feed for all classes of ruminants. especially for range and diary cattle, makes it important for the proper preparation of a ration that the feeder know how much digestible nutrients to expect from feeding a given quantity of the plant either alone or mixed with other feeding stuffs.
 Experiments seem to show that when prickly pear is fed with cured folders or grains, the dgestibility of both is increased
 The nutritive ratio is very wide for this feed, and in feeding it to all classes of animals, for whatever pur- pose, much better results should be obtained when it is fed with some sub stance of high protein content.
 The steers eXperimented upon sell dom drank water when fed prickly pear alone. In fact, in feeding ra- tion of 100 pounds of this feed per day the animals obtained from the feed over eight gallons of water, which is more than was usually drank by them when fed cured fodder alone.
 While no digestion experiments were made with any of the cacti other than prickly pear, the digestion CO efticients of the latter could probably be safely used for all other members of this family. since their composition and other characteristics are similar.
 Animals SCOUT quite badly when fed prickly pear alone; besides, other feeds are needed to supply the proper amount of proteids; for these reasons it is better not to feed it alone.
 A ration for 1,000-pound milch COW of 30 pounds of prickly pear, ten pounds of wheat bran and ten pounds of alfalfa would furnish about the correct theoretical amount of nu- trients, in which the ratio of pro- teids to carbohydrates would be l to 5.4G.

THINGS NOT IN THE BIBLE
Many Popular Quotations so Ascribed d Really Had Quite Different
 Sources.

What vast amount of trouble the human race might have avoided 1T Eve hadn't eaten that apple remarked the "grouchy individual when something especially displeased him.
 How do you know 1t was an ap' ple?" asked the accur1te man.
 Why, the Bible says so, doesn't it?'
 NO. It has come to be popular belief that the fruit which was eaten by our first parents in the garden eastward in Eden was an apple, but there is no authority for this.
 Tt is called simply the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that 1t was pleasant to the eyes, and tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her; and he did eat What is there here about an apple?
 "A great many popular quotations are attributed to the Bible, when in fact they had other sources.

Coh-Pipe Corn.

In the Missouri river bottoms a va riety of corn known as the cob-pipe corn is grown for that purpose. AL though the yield from the grain of this variety of corn Is less than that of the other improved varieties, the net returns from the corn and the cobs exceed that of the other yarie- ties by four or five dollars per acre.
 Missouri produces annually about 25 ,0oO, ,O00 cob pipes, the yield from one acre alone being estimated at from two to three thousand cobs. These cobs are sold at s2.50 per thou sand.

KEPT THE SPANiARDS BUSY
Troops In Garrison in Morocco Had Good Reason to Respect
 the Moors.

Life In one of Spain's garrisons in Morocco during the war is thus de. scribed by correspondent: All the supplies have to be brought from Melilla under the fire of the sharp. shooters on the hills and water Is scarce and must be brought from a great distance. Nobody can show his head above cover without drawing the enemy's fire. The fanaticism and cour. age of the Moors have surprised every one. One Riff, called by the Spaniards Brother John,' daily takes up a DO. sition in ruined village 400 yards from the fort and with his Mauser rife fires on every one approaching or leaving the fort. in spite of the repeat ed efforts of the artillery to drive them him out. At daybreak the Moors move from the plains of Nador. where they live, leaving the women and chill dren in charge of flocks and herds. and climb Mount Gurugu, occupying the same positions every day.
 They send out small parties of sharpshooters to harass the Spanish
 
 1 they feast and revel and hundreds of them thus refreshed return to the neighborhood of the Spanish fort, car rying musical instruments, singing and shouting out insults and taunts at Spaniards. Do you want cigar cites? Here are some, they cry, and at the same moment they pour in a volley.
 An officer told me that never in warfare has there been such a plenti- ful exchange of opprobrious epithets between the combatants, for the Moors, to save ammunition, hurl in stead the most disparaging remarks at the Spaniards, who reply with equal 1 vigor Nevertheless, in spite of all the hardships, the garrison is cheer full and full of f9ht"
