II think much better plan is to ex-
cavate space around the tank. say.
eight or ten inches deep and a couple
of feet wide. leaving the tank, OF
course, on an earth bottom. The fill
ing material is dumped into this ex-
cayation and tamped several inches
at time with lamp that can be
improvised from a heavy block OF
wood or short log.
'"The excavation should be filled un-
til It is at least several inches higher
than the surface of the yard adjacent
to the trough. By this method OF
filling in around tanks it is more diff
cult for cattle TO wear the filling away
or tear it up. 1t is also practically
impossible for hogs to make mud
hole in this filling, as the water seeps
away quickly"

Why Are We stronssrf

great admirers Of health and strength !;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles Of the men stand out like
cords.
As matter of fact we have ath.
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Scotch Oats-that would win
in any contest with the old Roman or
Greek champions. 2
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength Of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Scotch Oats is the best because 1t is
pure. no husks or stems or black
specks. Farmers wives are finding
that by feeding the farm hands plenti-
fully on Quaker Scotch Oats they get
the best results In work and economy.
