GOOD PLANS FOR
CONCRETE BUILDINGS
First Consideration Is to Deter
mine Proper Proportion OF
Materials Needed.
Csy o. y. PENNOcE, Colorado Agricul-
fural College,

C5y O. T.. PENNOCE, Colorado Agricul-
tural College,
The first thing to consider in any
concrete structure is the proper pro
portion of materials, A simple meth
cd for determining the amounts nee
essary, is TO apply the water meas
urement."
Take a washtub and small buck
ct and determine the number of buck
cts of sand necessary to fill or near
" fill the tub. Next determine the
number of buckets of water that are
necessary to entiHely fill the voids in
sand, being careful in this measure
ment to bring the water Just to the
surface of the sand. The number of
buckets OF water determines the
amount of cement for the amount OF
sand measured. Next measure the
broken stone or gravel into the tub
the same as the sand in the first step.
apply the water measurement, and
this gives the amount of mixture of
sand and cement necessary for the
amount of broken stone used.
For example: Suppose we put is
buckets of sand into the tub and 1t
takes six buckets of water to fill the
voids, then the proportion OF cement
to sand is six to eighteen, or one TO
three. Again, we put fifteen buckets
OF broken stone into the tub and find
that it takes nine buckets of water to
fill the voids. then the proportion of
sand to broken stone is nine to fifteen
or three to FIVE. Our total mixture,
therefore, would consist of one part
cement. three parts sand and FIVE
parts broken stone.

Just because frost has come, IL is
no sign there is nothing more to do
in the garden
II a good thick coating of mulch is
put over the asparagus, rhubarb and
other plants OF this nature, they will
make a much earlier start in the
spring than if left bare during the
winter.
Leave the mulch on until all danger
OF freezing is over in the spring. but
do not remove on a bright, sunshiny
day.
Tho cold frame is a great thing for
getting an early start with vegetables
in the spring They should be placed
in sunny spot in the garden, well
protected from the north wind. and
filled with loose soil under-laid with
about four inches of half rotted ma
nure.
Sow the seeds of lettuce, radisbes
and other vegetables of this kind in
the fall and cover very lightly with
earth. Over this, place a deep cover
of litter and lay II on thick enough to
keep out the frost.
Next spring You will be surprised
to see these vegetables coming up
through the ground when you take off
the mulch. They will have from ore
to two weeks start over those start
ed in the spring.
Come to think of It, this is pretty
near the way nature takes care of
seeds in winter. They fall from the
plant, tury themselves in the soil, and
the wind covers them with mulch OF
leaves and grass.
For the window boxes in which to
start vegetables next spring, take up
now a quantity of loose rich soil and
burn tito kill all vegetable life. This
can be done by burning wood over the
soil before 1t is taken up. or the soil

itself on a piece OF sheet iron over =
fire. Put this in barrel and keep in
perfectly dry place. When your
seeds come up from this soil next
spring. they will be free from weeds.
Many people do not believe in plow
ing their gardens in tho fall, but we
do. If plowed deeply in the late fall
in very narrow burrows. all that will
be necessary in the spring is a thor
ough disking or spading.
The garden should be dlsked as
early as possible and allowed to lie
few days until the weeds get good
start and then they may be killed by
vigorous raking. If this could be re-
peated two or three times before seed
ing. 1t would save many a bacNache
during the summer.
A thin coating of coarse manure
spread over the fall-plowed ground,
will prevent teaching of its fertilizers
and keep the garden in good condition.
Well rotted manure ought to be put
on the ground in the fall just before
blowing. If applied literally. 1t is bet
ter than putting it on in the spring
when the seeds are planted.
The strawberry bed ought to be pre-
pared right now il you have not done
it before Spade the ground deeply,
rake it thoroughly, and spade again,
applying plenty of manure after the
first spading.
Better buy seed potatoes now. They
are cheaper than they will be next
March, and there is a larger stock to
select from.
Turnips and carrots can be kept by
packing in damp s1nd and placing
them in the cellar. This prevents them
from shriveling up.
Leave parsnips in the ground all
winter. Freezing does not hurt them,
but on the contrary. improves their
fiavor-E. V. b.
