Greater Farm Efficiency
Concrete a Profit Maker
By PROF. c. A. ococK Wisconsin, College of Agriculture

The watchword of the present
seems to be conservation. This appar-
entity may be applied to all lines of
work. Not only is this true in the
commercial world, but it will hold
true in rural pursuits. The farmer is
exerting every effort in obtaining
more efficiency from his activities aud
to do this he Is gathering about him
every kind of modern machine or con-
venience that is obtainable.
Concrete on the farm is becoming
an important factor and with the adj
vent of this new medium of construc-
ton, feeding floors, troughs, racks,
fence posts, silos, farm buildings and
many useful necessities are being add
ed to the farm equipment. Many OF
these useful things may be construct
ed by the farmer himself or his regu-
lar help. All that is necessary is q
working knowledge of concrete and
it's achievements. In the construc-
ton of large buildings knowledge OF
the reinforcement Of beams and grid
ers is required and such construction
should be submitted to an architect
or a bridge engineer who is acquaint-
ed with these problems.
Materials used in the construction
of concrete work are usually proper
toned 1874 or 1-2A-5, 1926, 1-4-8, de-
pending upon their character. That is,

PARTS crushed stone or gravel are used
in the 1-2H-5. The mixture selected
will depend upon the nature OF Tue
work in which it is used.
Table No. l. shows the materials
necessary for one cubic yard OF con-
crete.
In order to determine the amount
of cement necessary for any amount
of concrete, estimate the number OF
cubic yards and multiply that number
bv the figure IN the table opposite,
"Bbls. cement per cubic yard OF con-
crete" and under mixture to be
used" The amount of sand and OF
stone is determined in the same way.
Batch mixing, as indicated by the
name, is an intermittent process and
is the one most used III silo construc-
ton. Under certain conditions the
continuous mixing process may be en-
ployed. Continuous mixing is done by
machinery, the materials being fec
into the machine without interruption
during the mixing process, which may
continue for four or five hours. Batch
mixing may be done by machinery II
it seems more desirable. Simple me-
chanical mixers have been very sue
cessfully constructed from an orQl-
nary kerosene barrel.
Water should be added until a slop-
py mixture is obtained. This will per-
nit the material to be readily poured.
The concrete should be prepared upon
a water-tight mixing platform, usually
about 1Ox12 feet. In placing the ma
terials upon this platform, some meth
cd should be used to get the proper
proportions; that is. if a 1-2-4 mixture
is used, some simple measure for the
materials should be employed where
by this may be easily determined.
Weighing is accurate, but somewhat

# a layer of mud or clay settles over
the sand, do not use it.
Gravel or stone should be free from
sticks, leaves or any foreign sub
stance which would in any way de-
stroy the action of the cement upon
the sand and gravel. II clay is pres
ent, always wash it out by pouring wa
ter over the sand or gravel which is
to be spread over an inclined screen.
Spread the cement upon the sand
and gravel If they are in combination

R2til the whole mass is Of uniform
S53ar. Then add water unless
ccyeened gravel or crushed stone is
.azrg used, in which case place the
cement upon the sand mixing until a
uniform color; add gravel or crushed
stone and mix thoroughly, and then
add enough water to produce the
proper consistency. Hoes or shovels
can be used to mix the concrete, but
the latter are more often employed.
Concrete should be mixed in small
quantities, only such amounts being
prepared Sc VIII be used up immedi-
ately. Concrete hardens so rapidly
that Jumps often begin to form
throughout the whole mass before 1t
can be used. Under these conditions
the whole amount should be discard

heavier parts will be separated from
the lighter and forced to the bottom
of the mass. Good concrete is only
obtained when the stones and gravel
remain in contact with the mortar.
1t is not hard to make the forms for
concrete tanks. In fact most any one
can invent a form of his own. The
amount Of stock to be Watered at the
tank must be taken into considera-
ton when the size is planned. Ii q
rectangular tank is to be used, the
proper dimensions can be determined
by consulting Table II.
It often happens that around stock
tank there is mud hole. This can
be easily avoided by making cement
platform around the tank extending
out six feet on all sides.
In making the forms for the tank,
the outside measurements of the in
side forms should be one inch greater
in both directions than the outside
dimensions OF the tank. This is neces-
sary to avoid the possibility of any
part OF the tank being supported by
the floor proper. The outer edge OF
the floor should be one inch lower
than the edge surrounding the space
to be occupied by the tank. This pro-
vides drainage for water that is spilled
to be occupied by the tank.
The bill of materials shown above
is for a tank ten feet long and six feet
wide. The price of such a tank can
be easily computed by local dealer.

slow. Using a wheelbarrow of known
capacity, or counting the shovelfuls is
the most common practice and is con-
sidered a fairly accurate method. The
bottomless box shown in the figure is
the best means for this determination.
The sand and gravel should be
clean. The following test may be used
to determine if the sand is clean: Fill
a glass fruit jar one-quarter full of the
sand and add clean water until the jar
is three-quarters full. Shake well, and

Very Pretty Are the Candle Shades

Very fetching are the new candle
shades whose foundation Is finely
plated fiber, and that can be had In
all colors. The straight narrow En-
pire shade is the iayorite though some
Of the designs spread sharply at the

The decoration is varied, some have

tones, others have inserts OF filmy

some have bands and frills OF lace
headed with narrow metal gimp.
A candle shade that looks we'll with
all color schemes is made of crystal
beads, strung into fancifal designs and
finished with bead fringe. The favorite
Is pagoda shape, another is bell shape,

the redressing Is to choose suitable
chintz and to order loose covers for

cushions in the room. The favOrite
colorings this season give range Of
tulip shades. purple. ros" red. deep
