for. That should be done even though
it raised the price of coal beyond prices
now commonly paid for it. An honest
people should want no comfort, advan-
tage or convenience for which it is not
willing to pay the real cost. If coal
mining is more or less of gamble be-
cause of varying rock formations and
stratification. the people should bear the
burden as well as reap the profit. The
actual toiler should always have his pay.
What is to be objected to is the putting
into the hands of individuals, who have
little capital to use, that power of own
ership which authorizes them to hold out
of use natural product of the earth un-
til they are paid monopoly price for it.
Under present economic methods few
such monopolists are mine operators.
They lease their coal lands to operators
and leave these to fight it out with the
wage working miner. They stand aloof
and pocket their royalties; for the which

PUT CONCRETE TOP ON TANK
Stout Platform Should Be Erected
Just LeveI With Top to Hold
Cover Until II Is Set.

In reply to a query as to the best
way of putting concrete top on
circular stone supply tank. about 9
feet in diameter, the Breeders Ga
zette makes the following reply:
Make a stout platform in the tank
Just level with the top to hold up the
cover until 1t Is set. AS this platform
should be quite tight, 1t had best be
covered with building paper or other
such material. AS one will want a
manhole to take out the lumber. he
can cut out the boards where this is
to be and replace them by having
cleats nailed under them. The form
for this manhole should be made
tapering and out of 6-inch boards. say
Is inches at bottom and % inches at
the top On each side of the manhole
lay an inch round rod and have some
stout wire fencing cut ready for rein
forcing.
After placing an inch of concrete
place the bars and the fencing which
concrete to inches. II the cover is
not to be for sustaining any weight
but its own. II It is to be the floor
of building. then put in 8 inches of
concrete. AS soon as the concrete is
set. or after one day. take out the
manhole box, line the hole with paper
and fill this with concrete. not for
getting to put in some kind of ring by
which to lift 1t. After a week or ten
days lift out the cover of the manhole
and remove the wooden platform.
This cover can be made on a plat
form on the ground and then placed
on the tank. To do this 1t will be
best to use a reinforcing of half-inch
steel rods placed inches on center
each way and tied with wire at inter
sections and then make the thickness
only 8 inches. Use a mixture of one,
two and three. That is. one of ce-
ment, two of sand and three of crush
ed stone. none over half an inch in
diameter.

The erecting of shelves against a
cement or stone wall usually requires
considerable work in making the
framework; this could be replaced by
placing three-eighthsinch iron rods in
the mortar of the wall when 1t is

boards used for shelves can lay on

One touch of individual ownership in

tween the coal famishing multitudes of

dangerous and unhealthy work of UNDER
ground mining and the men who get z0c

coal is essential to the production of food.
