CONCRETE ON THE FARM.
Used For Barns, Silos, Henhouses'
Bridges and Cellars.

Not long ago the farmer hardly knew
what concrete was. Now he builds
barns, silos, henhouses, bridges and
cellars of it.
Where some years ago the farmer
used pile of old boards, saw and a
hammer to build his hen coop, his gate
post and his water trough. he usually
mixes. il with sand and gravel and
adapts concrete to his purposes.
Today he has many appliances about
the farm that are neat that are SAM
tary and that last forever. This change
started with silOs and fence posts, and
there is no end TO the uses to which
the HANDY man about the house can
put the versatile machine out on a
farm in Illinois. where an acctyline
generator supplies gaslight to the farm
house. Que man built Il sort Of cyclone
cellar for the plant. Owing to the
danger of explosions, the ordinary eau
tiOus citizen no longer cares to put a
gas plant in the basement of his resi-
dence, but if this generator should eX-
plode it probably would not even shat
ter the walls of the little concrete
house that contains it.
Fresh water is supplied TO the chick
ems on another farm with the aid of
concrete pool. 1t is long and wide and
so shallow that ducks and geese do not
try to swim in it. \ pump at one side
supplies ii with fresh water. This
same flock of fortunate chickens has II
solid concrete house of two rooms; one
room has concrete floor and perches
for the convenience of its occupants,
and the other room has floor of earth.
where the chickens can scratch about
in the winter time. The rOOSting room,
with the concrete floor, can be flushed
out and kept perfectly sanitary, the
water running from it to IA waste out
let at one side.
When it comes to drainage on the
farm concrete steps in and helps out
the farmer. CulvertS are now being
made in sections 50 that, after the eX-
cavation is made and Il solid concrete
foundation put in the sides and the
arch can he added later.
The silo, the first appliance TO adapt
itself to concrete, has grown enormous
ly in size. one of the biggest of them
is sixty-two feet high and has walls
that are eight inches thick. Ii will
hold enough enSilage to fatten five car
loads of beef cattle. 1t only took IL
month to built il and its total cost was
but 5000. This is the latest type OF
silo. built tall. and with Il small diam
eter, because in this way the room Is
used more economically. The
smaller the diameter the less waste
there is in proportion.
