Experimenting With Cement.

In experimenting with the use of
cement for the construction of tanks
designed to receive wines in storage,
it was found that when unlined tanks
were used the acids in the liquid often
decomposed the cement and the walls
absorbed the freshness and bouquet"
of the wine. Acid-proof coatings were
applied to the concrete walls, but did
not prevent absorption. However, a
lining consisting of small squares of
glass, joined with cement mortar, is
said to have given satisfaction, as a
tartar forms on the thin surface of &C.
ment and resists acid attacks. The
lined tanks are made in sizes which
contain from $50 to $4,000 gallons,
and are recommended not only for
storing wines, but also for storing cot
ton seed and other oils.

HIS SOUL GOES MARCHING ON
