The Rulinu Passion.

The father of a family, all of whom
were devotees of bride and much
given to talking the game and holding
post-mortems over badly played hands,
died rather suddenly. There was q
difference OF opinion as to whether he
should be buried in the family plot or
cremated. In the course of the dis
cussion the mother said weepingly to
her son:
''John, what do you Think"
Il leave it TO you, mother"
Il make it sp-spades.' was her re-
ply.-SuccesS Magazine.

Sixty Five Days In Jail.

Last Friday f. A. Gibson. proprie-
tor of The Tavern at Ithaca. with his
attorney, Archie Mccall, came before
Judge Scarf in the circuit court, when
Gibson pleaded guilty to violation of
the local option law and was sentenced
to pay fine OF 500 and SO costs and
to be confined in the county Jail for
q period of sixty-five DAYS.
Judge Scarf, before passing sem
tence said he was not disposed to give
Gibson a lecture. While he claimed
be sold only "Puritas'' the judge
said he was inclined to think that
stronger liquor had been sold at the
hotel, if not bv Gibson, by someone
in his employ and he was therefore re-
sponsible for 1t. He said it should be
the effort of the court to break uD
places where such things are sold.
The judge said he took into considera-
tion of Gibsicn being cripple and
poor man and the fact of leaving his
family in not the best of circum-
stances. but that all must understand
that no such places for the illegal sale
of liquor would be tolerated.

following plan then should be fol-
lowed:
The outside dimensions are: Length,
8 feet; width. feet; height, 20 feet.
The lumber for the form must be
cut to accord with these measure
ments. At the corners of the mold
and also along the upper edges of the
uppermost planks triangular pieces of
wood must be placed SO as to avoid
any sharp corners when the trough
is completed. This provision prevents
the chipping of the corners, so COM
mon to sharp angular cement work.
When the mold is in place. the sides
should be reinforced by two or three
pieces of 2x4 inch uprights at equi-
distant intervals. These uprights
should then be strongly braced to pre-
vent bullying out of the concrete while
it is being tamped into compactness.
A brace at each end of the form will
be also necessary. This form is
erected directly over the cobble stone
or grout foundation. When the mold

parts clean sand and four parts fine

A good watering trough Is one Of
the necessities on every farm. The
best of wooden troughs are good
for only a comparatively few years at
the farthest and the steel troughs,
even though galvanized, will in time
rust through and become worthless.
The ideal trough is one that is al
ways in good shape and one that does
not rot away like wood nor rust away
like steel. Such a farm necessity can
be very readily constructed of con-
crete just as many other necessities
and conveniences in the economy OF
the farm may be- says a writer in the
Farmers Review. The main feature
of a concrete watering trough is its
durability, a point that appeals to all
farmers.
Herewith is given plan for
making a durable and satisfactory
concrete watering trough. The first
essential in building such a
water holder for the use of live stock
is a suitable foundation. An excava-
ton of at least three feet in depth
and a little larger in area than the
dimensions of the trough is needed to
prevent heaving of the structure by
frost in the winter. This opening is
then filled with cobble stones or grout.
pounded into place by means of a
heavy block of wood. Upon this
strong setting the concrete trough is
to be placed.
The next step in the process is
making the mold for the trough. Only
good stout planks, free from knots
and planed on one side and on both
edges, should be used for this pur-
pose The smooth sides of the planks

DETAILED PLANS FOR A
GOOD CONCRETE TROUGH
ANY Farm Watering Livestock
Following Instructions Given Below
H. S.. Chamberlain.

6-inch interior slope from the top or
the trough to the bottom. These slop-
ing walls are to guard against rup-
ture in case water should freeze in
the holder during cold weather.
This interior mold must be fixed
carefully in such a position that its
upper edges will be just six inches
from the top edges of the outside
form. Cross pieces are nailed across
the entire width of the form to hold
the inner form in position. The ce-
ment concrete may now be filled into
the spaces between the wall of the
molds and carefully tamped into
a compact mass. The top Of the con-
crete wall may be finished off with
layer l inch thick from a mixture
of l part cement and l part sand and
smoothed off with trowel This will
give harder coating to the upper
surface of the wall The form is left
in place for at least five days, to al
low the concrete to set perfectly.
When hardening is an assured fact.
carefully remove the molds and you
will have a watering trough that VIII
last for centuries, provided the work
has been done well.
The measurements of the trough as
completed will be on the outside 9x3x
25 feet, and on the inside at the top
SKI feet, and at the bottom Tiki feet,
with a vertical depth of is inches.
the capacity nearly 60 gallons.
A convenient arrangement for
emptying the water out of the trough
can easily be placed in position while
building the water receptacle. Sc
cure three-foot section of lead pipe
having a bore of one inch and bend

il so that there will be an angle OF
little more than 80 degrees between
the two parts, one part being about
two feet long. In constructing the
base this pipe is embedded in the
concrete at a convenient place so that
the long end of the same projects
about six inches beyond the walls of
the trough. Allow the shorter end to
project an inch above the bottom OF
the trough. Have a care that the
lower end of the pipe is several
inches lower than the bend OF the
pipe so as to insure the perfect
drainage of both pipe and trough.
The concrete hardening around the
pipe will make the union of the two
water tight. After the concrete has
set the projecting end of the pipe in
the trough may be cut off near the
bottom surface of the trough and
then the bore may be slightly en-
larged by means of a wooden cone.
The edges of the pipe should be fiat
tened down with hammer TO let the
water flow out more readily. A wood
en- plug is inserted in the open end
of the pipe in the bottom of the wa
ter holder TO retain the water. The
water from this outlet should be led
away through a special drain tile. This
precaution is imperative If the trough
is to be properly cared for.
The dimensions OF the herein de-
scribed trough may be cut down or
added to. to suit the wishes and de-
mands OF the farmer thinking of con-
structing this farm necessity.
