Cement Surfaces Should Be Rubbed with Car
bOrundum or Cement Bricks Instead of PlaStered

of the difference in the coefficients
of linear expansion or mortar and
concrete due to temperature
changes.
it is a fact that a rich mortar,
such as is generally used for this
work shrinks considerably more
than the leaner mixture of con-
crete upon which it is plastered.
This difference in shrinkdge, with
greater relative movement in the
finish causes the latter to lose it's
bond to the mass of concrete in
places and it drops off, leaving I'M
slightly patches and spots in the
surface.
Even when a mortar facing plac-
ed at the same time as the con-
crete is used, eases arise where the
difference in contraction between
the facing and the backing causes
cracking and spilling of the sur
face. The same is true of concrete
surfaces coated with cement
wash applied with brush. Even
when care is exercised in rough
ening the concrete surface and re-
moving the surface film of ce-
ment, the results in many cases are
unsatisfactory. Various prepara-
tons are advertised which are said
to give a positive bond between
concrete surface and plaster coat,
but in some cases even the use of
these is not attended with mark
ed success.
If a concrete surface as left by
the forms must be finished in same
for appearance sake, it can be said
with truth that plastering or
brush-coating is simply dumping
from the frying pan into the fire.
Plastering concrete surfaces has
been tried and been found want
ing too often.
A surface finish which is better,
cheaper and more durable, is the
concrete surface rubbed with car
borundum or cement bricks before
the concrete is very old. The cost
of finishing concrete surfaces in
this manner ranges from IL to 3
cents per square foot depending
on the nature of the work, that is,
whether plain or broken up by re-
veals, panels and holdings. The
surface produced by rubbing is of
lighter color than the ordinary
concrete surface, is more nearly
impervious, does away with form
marks, and, in fact, is the ideal
method of low-cost finish for con-
crete work.
Bush-hammering, sand blasting
and acid-washing are used to some
extent, but any of these methods
of finishing is too costly for use
on the ordinary concrete structure
and is limited to use on the finer
class of concrete structures where
cost is of secondary importance.

The back slab should then be
placed III a position behind the
other. From the end at the mid
die of the road measure 20 inches
for the center of the cross stake,
and inches from the other end
locate the center Of the outside
stake. Find the center of the mid
die hole as before. When these
holes are brought opposite each
other, one end of the back slab will
lie 10 inches nearer the center of
the roadway than the front one.
The holes should be 2 inches in
diameter. Care must oe taken to
hold the auger plumb in boring
these holes in order that the
stakes shall fit properly.
The two slabs should be held 30
inches apart by the stakes. The
stakes should taper gradually to-
ward the ends. There should be
no shoulder at the point where the
stakes enter the slab. The stakes
should he fastened in place by
wedges only. When the stakes
have been placed in position and
tightly wedged, brace 2 inches
thick and inches wide should be
placed diagonally to them at the
ditch end. The brace should be
dropped on the front slab, SO that
its lower edge shall lie within an
inch of the ground, while the
other end should rest in the an
gle between the slab and the END
stake.
A strip Of iron about 1-2 feet
long, 3 or inches wide, and Ia
of an inch thick may be used for
blade. This should be attached
to the front slab, so that it will
be one-half inch below the lower
edge of the slab at the ditch end,
while the end of the iron toward
the middle of the road should be
flush with edge of the slab. The
bolts holding the blade in place
should have flat heads and the
holes to receive them should be
countersunk.
An ordinary trace chain is strong
enough TO draw the implement,
provided the clevis is not fasten-
ed through link. The chain
should be wrapped around the
rear stake, then passed over the
front slab. Raising the chain at
this end of the slab allows the
earth to drift past the face of the
drag. The other end of the chain
should be passed through the hole
i'm the end of the slab. One and
one-half trace chains are suffic-
lent.
The Plank Drag
Drags are often constructed of
planks instead of logs. The plank
should be strengthened along the
middle line by 2 by 6 inch
strip. A triangular strip may be
used under the lower edge of the
blade to give it the proper cutting
slope.
Grafton OF The Drag
The successful op Grafton OF the
drag involves two principles, which

position of the driver on the drag.
For ordinary purposes the snatch
link or clevis should be fastened
tar enough toward the blade end
OF tne chain to force the unload
ed drag to follow the team at an
angle of IS degrees. This will
cause tne earth to move along the
face OF the drag smoothly and will
give comparatively nghr draft to
the team, provided the driver
rides In tAe line Of draft.
If small weeds are to be cut or
a furrow of earth is to be moved,
the double1ree should be attached
rather close to the ditch end of
the drag. The drag will now
move nearly ditch end foremost,
and the driver should stand with
one foot on the extreme forward
end of the front slab This will
swing the drag back to the pro-
per angle and will cause the blade
to pillow. This hitch requires slow
and careful driving in order to
prevent the drag from tipping
forward. If the blade should
pillow too deeply, the driver should

the blade, they can usually be re-
moved if the driver shuts his
weight to a point as far as pos
siDle from the ditch or blade end.
Usually two horses are enough
to pull drag over an ordinary
earth road. When four horses are
used they should be hitched to the
drag by means of four-horse
eVener. The team should be
driven with one horse on either
side of the right-hand wheel track
or rut the fun length of the por-
ton to be dragged, and the re-
turn made over the other half of
the roadway. The object of this
treatment is to move earth to-
ward the center OF the roadway
and to raise it gradually above
the surrounding level. While this
is being accomplished all mudholes
and ruts will be filled, into which
traffic will pack the fresh earth.

In this northern region, the prac-
tice of plastering concrete surfaces

the f5rm marks and the imp r.

present a very patchy and spotty
appearance, due to the flaking-ofi

World
The causes of these defects are
numerous and it is therefore diff
ficult to say just what cause may
have been in any particular case.
In general, when a concrete wall
is poured, the surface is coated
with a film of cement, if the
concrete is mixed wet; and this
film produces a relatively smooth
surface, to which it is difficult to
make a mortar coating stick. If
the mortar does stick for time,
it gradually loses its grip, owing
to shrinkage of the mortar while

This is the time of year, accord
eording to road experts of the
Federal Department of Agricul-
ture, when the earth road should
be prepared for the winter. The
use of the split-log drag is i'm
portant in putting the roads in
shape for winter use.
There are over 100000 miles of
earth roads in the country, and
the split-log drag is of great SER
vice in keeping them in econom-
zeal repair. The drag is used in
many States and in foreign coun-
tries. 1t is used with two, three,

The Principal Honey producing Plants

IL is of considerable imortance
to know just what plants are
honey producers and when to look
for them, and also what the quail
ity and color of honey, is produc-
ed from such plants. Knowing
this one can intelligently plan
their work to be ready each flow
as il comes. The following is a
list of the principal honey plants
of Michigan and their approximate
time of blooming etc, 60
Alfalfa, (Medicago sativa) has
become one of the most celebrat-
ed honey plants known of late
years but as grown in Michigan is
not a heavy a producer as in the
dry regions of the west. The
honey from alfalfa is of a very
slight amber color in some places
while in others ii is very nice
white honey In either case the
flavor is fine although il is not a
honey that will wear as well as
clover. AS it is cut in most places
at least three times in the year
there is usually at least three
distinct flows from this scource
and consequently where it does
yield honey it Is a very valuable
plant. The first flow from alfal-
ia is usually at the time or lit
tie before the clover flow and
after that as often as ii can grow
up and blossom.
Bee-keepers who grow alfalfa
will find il TO their advantage
to leave it to bloom a little long
er than the average farmer does

an unusual one even for this year,
but the apples were grown by a
first-class orchardist and Mr..
Western watched the packing of
the same and was fully CONVEX
SAINT with the quality of the con-
tents of the barrels.
An important lesson may be
learned by comparing these re-
suits from one orchard with the
fact that many general farmers
who have taken very little care
of their orchards have solo their
apples at 81 per hundred pounds.
Charlevoix county herald., 1913-11-15

as it does not yield honey very
much until about the time when
it is usually cut.
Alsike, (Trifolium Hybridum) is
Michigan's greatest honey plant. 1t
has come into so general a use on
the farms that it has largely dis
placed the white clover which
used to be our standby, and as the
honey is identical with the white
clover honey there is no loss in
that direction.
Alsike usually blooms at least
in this part of the state from "a
bout June first until the first of
July. All honey bees will work
on this as well as white clover
which is a thing they very sell
dom can do on red clover.
Apple RESPONSIBILITIES this head
we will consider all fruit bios
SONS as they bloom along at the
same time and the honey is about
the same thing in all of them.
The honey is slightly amber or
golden in color and of very fine
flavor. This flow coming just be-
fore the clover flow when bees
are using lots of honey for
brood rearing creates a great ac-
tivity in this direction and is
of almost inesti-
mable benefit in securing a crop
of honey. AS there is very. little
of this honey ever gets in the up
per stories, few bee-keepers rea-
lie how much they are indie bted
to fruit blossoms for their crop
Of honey.

ducers; the despised COW of in
significant appearance has often
proved a money maker when her
moderate cost of feed has been
deducted from the large total
yield of milk and fat. Some COW
testing figures show great con-
trasts. For instance, two COWS
yielding the same weight of milk
may differ in the production Of fat
by 175 pounds of fat. Two COWS
the same age may differ in profit
by $25. The aged COW may do far

Two mature COWS in the same
herd have been known to differ
in production by eight thousand
pounds of milk.

tween the two cows.
In another herd at the same fac
tory, between the 6-year-olds that
calved April 3rd and 4th there was
a difference OF 1000 pounds of
milk and 90 pounds of fat up to
the end of July. This means be-
tween $14 and S15 that one COW
earned more than the other. How
are these vital poin-s to be de-
finitely ascertained by the prac-
teal dairyman? Such facts are
brought to light when figures
are used. it is just as simple as

and practically by just her in
