same purpose) was heated. and forced
by pressure into the barrel. The
warm water in the barrel was used
to mix the cement, sand and gravel.
The sand and gravel were first heated
on top of a piece of old iron pipe
or boiler wood fire being built in it.
Then the sand and gravel were
screened through a quarter inch
screen. Everything up to a quarter
of an inch in size being called sand
and the material from one-fourth
inch up to ~ inches being used for
gravel. Then l:2:3 mix was used, one
cubic foot or one sack of Portland
cement, two cubic feet of sand and
three cubic feet of gravel. The work
was protected for four or FIVE days
and by that time the concrete had
set sufficiently so it would not be
damaged by freezing. In the case
OF fence posts, for example, this warm
sand and gravel could be brought
inside the barn and mixed there with
the hot water. In ordinary weather
the temperature in the barn would
be above freezing point and after FIVE
days or a week the fence posts could
be taken outside, laid on the ground
and by spring time they would be
well cured. Of course they would
have to be put where cattle could
not tramp on them.

TOO MUCH HAY!"

The alfalfa which was sown on

condition has come on nicely, con-
sidering the very dry season which
we have had.
The alfalfa which was sown on the
field which had been neglected
throughout the summer is only up a
little ways and stands very little show
of living through the winter.
Mr.. Frank McDerilott living Z
miles northwest of Clinton seeded
5 acres of alfalfa in August. 1912.
The ground was summer fallowed
throughout the season, the weeds be-
ing kept down and a good mulch re-
tanned. -Four or FIVE tons of finely
ground limestone per acre were
distributed and worked into the
surface. At seeding time early
in August the ground was thoroughly
inoculated with dirt from a sweet
clover patch. After the ground
was frozen in the winter, the
field was covered with a rather th;ck
dressing of straw manure. In the
spring the straw was raked up and
hauled off SO that it would not be
raked up with the first crop of hay
This five acre field produced u tons
OF hay from the first two cuttings dur
ing the season of 1913. The third croo
which would have made at least one
ton per acre was left on the ground
When asked why he did not cut f
Mr.. McDermott, said THAT he had "a
much hay now that he didn't care to
bother with it. and thought that he
would leave the entire crop on the

According to the technical maya
zines these are the essential points
= to be considered when concreting in

must be separated into two piles, by

these piles should be placed after

gravel will very likely be frozen with

heated and the frost taken out of the
material. This is accomplished as

However, Fremont insisted that ne

Carson WAS with Kearney when
he met with defeat at the hands

great were the hardships of this Jour.

Reaching Taos again in December Of
