CEMENT TANKS
TO DIP SWINE
Directions Given for Construction
Of Basin Found Entirely
Satisfactory by
2IIAuoiaan.
az W. II. uNpERwoopl

Last spring l made a cement dip
ping tank for my hogs which has
proven very satisfactory, and will give
the instructions for making same SO
that If anyone desires to do so he can
make one for himself.
/ dug a hole IL feet long on top, s
feet long on the bottom, straight at
one end and sloping across the feet
at the other, 26 inches wide at the
bottom. 80 inches at the top and AZ
feet deep.
then made a wooden frame Of
boards inches smaller every way
than the hole and filled in the space
all around with cement, using three
parts sand to one part cement.
After 1t had set "a hours. l took out
the wooden frame. l made wooden
cleat steps at the sloping end for the
hogs to walk out on. Ny hogs were
covered with lice last spring and
had tried all remedies heard Of to get
rid Of them. / dipped the hogs at In
tervals Of about month and noted a
marked change In their condition as
to skin and health.
A neighbor of mine has a dipping
tank somewhat similar to mine. He
dug hole feet wide at the top and
8 feet long; and at the bottom IS
inches wide and feet long, making
the hole feet deep, straight up and
down at one end with gradual In
cline for the hogs to walk out at the
other.
Then he took cement, mixing II in
proportion of one part OF cement to
four parts sand, and plastered this
over like cistern. plastering the ce-
ment directly on the dirt. After this
coating of cement had thoroughly set
he washed the inside with pure ce-
ment, to make 1t absolutely tight.
Whether II is safe to plaster the
cement directly on the dirt, as done
by my neighbor. depends on the char

GIVING PLENTY OF DISTANCE
Common Mistake Made by Many
Gardeners Is That Of crowdlna
Plants Too Close.

Many gardeners make the mistake
of crowding garden vegetables too
close in the drill. Vegetables require
rapid growth and quick maturity to
give quality and flavor to the plants
when served. Unless the soil Is ex-
ceptionally rich. and there is plenty
of soil moisture available during the
growing season, the plants are apt to
be dwarfed and the quality Of the
vegetables impaired.
In producing vegetables for the
market. the grower win endeavor to
grow plants Of high quality and de-
sirable flavor. and he cannot afford
to take any risk. It is far better to
produce fewer products and gather
vegetables of better quality than to
have an abundance that do not com
mand fair prices.
The safest plan Is to SOW plenty of
seeds In order that good stand may
be secured. II the plants are tender
and the spring Is favorable for the in
sects. diseases, cold nights, ETC., leave
about twice as many plants as you
desire to grow. When the weather is
favorable for the growth Of the
plants. thin promptly, leaving the re-
quired number of plants. Be sure that
the plants have sufficient distance to
produce vegetables Of extra quality.

SPREAD MANURE EVERY DAY
Practice Greatly Reduces Possibility
Of Losing FertiIIzing Elements
Cam Is Handy.

A careful and intelligent use Of
stable manure will build up the fer
tility Of any farm. The trouble with
the average former is that he wastes
his manure. The habit of regarding
manure as valueless is one of the
most expensive farmer can have.
To properly conserve manure the
liquids as well as the solids should be
collected. For this purpose 1t is well
to have the floors of the stalls so that
they will drain easily into a water
tight gutter at the rear. This gutter
should be stopped at both ends, but
one end should be lower than the
other to allow the liquids to drain to
that end.
Manure should be spread every day
when it is possible. This is very i'm
portant, as it greatly reduces the
chances Of losing the fertilizing ele-
ments. In summer It can be spread on
the field from which the soiling crops
have been removed, and in winter on
grain fields. Newly seeded fields
should not be MANFRED.
A hand cart may be used for spread
ing manure. Where there are a large
number Of cattle or horses, a special
dump cart, drawn by = single horse.

GREEN RYE TO
COWS AND HORSES
Feeding Should BE An Hands OF
Careful Man and Not Given

less Hand.

Green rye may be fed as soon az 1t
heads out; there IL then the most
nourishment in the stalks. Cut when
free from dew, and let it wilt a few
hours before feeding Feed small
quantities at first A half forkful may
be given to each COW after the hay
has been eaten. When fed thus there
is no danger Of bloat or hoven. The
feeding of green feed to cattle should
be In the hands Of a careful man, and
not given to boys or a careless hand.
Attention to this rule win frequently
save the life of valuable COW.
Horses at work should not be given
green feed. as it is liable to produce
collie. Cows should not be turned out
to pasture too early. Wait until the
grass has made some growth, and
there is some nourishment In the
grass. Before turning out to grass
give the cows feed of hay or straw
first After the hay lie eaten they are
turned on the pasture. For the first
day or two letNthem Craze one or two
hours. When the cows are accus-
toned to the change they may remain
out all day. Experienced dairymen
feed a small grain ration throughout
the grazing season. If you are getting
