In making her booklet the young
club member is expected to draw on
such illustrative talent as she may
have. Photographs of work, also, in
serted in the books, will add to their
usefulness and attractiveness. Sim
pie pencil or crayon drawings will
give a more vivid idea of they plants
or fruits produced, and other draw
ings of the tools used, the insects that
attacked the garden, and such can
ming apparatus as was necessary, will
add variety to the display.
The interest of the club member is
increased if she is encouraged to add
an artistic touch to her booklet, and
a great deal can be done in this line
by designing an attractive cover.
Nine by twelve inches is considered
good size for the cover, and some
quiet, neutral tone is considered bet
ter than white or gaudy color.
The cover should be heavy enough
to protect the book, and about one
fourth of an inch longer and wider
than the pages inside, says the
assistant of demonstration work. It's
design, which should be simple, may
include decorative lines or figures
suggested by the garden, but other
wise, only a neat lettered title, date
and name of the club member.
Crayon of a soft contrasting color,
water colors, or ink, may be used
alone or in combination for the letter.
ing and design. ~
The final touch is added by neat
method of tying the pages together.
A substantial cord, a plain narrow
ribbon or raffia, in harmony with the
rest of the booklet, are suggested for
this.

dig a foundation trench ten inches
wide and 212 feet deep around the
entire tank. Lay all inflow and over
flow pipes mot less than 11a inches
in diameter) so that the ends, fitted
for connections, will be even with the
finished bottom of the tank.
Before digging the foundation
trench, build the forms and have all
materials on hand. For forms use
one-inch siding on 2x4-inch uprights
spaced two feet apart. The outside
form is a bottomless box five feet
wide by IA feet long, inside measure
ments. Make it three feet high to
provide for a six-inch floor and a
clear depth of 21a feet. The inside
form must be narrower and shorter
to make provision for walls five
inches thick at the top and flaring to
thickness of eight inches at the
bottom of the tank. When ice forms,
this slope allows it to slip up the tank
walls instead of pushing directly
against them. The sides and ends of
the forms may be made separate and
put together in place; or, if there is
sufficient help, each form may be en-

tirely completed and set up as one
piece. The forms are held in position
by 2x4-inch liners at top and bottom
and, if necessary, by sloping braces
nailed to stakes driven in the ground.
Cut strips of heavy woven wire fenc-
ing long enough to cover the bottom
of the tank crosswise and to project
up into the walls to within six inches
of the top, and likewise a strip four
feet longer than the inside length of
the tank.
With the forms ready, mix the con-
crete one part Portland cement to
two parts sand and four parts
crushed rock. In measuring the ma
terials, count one bag of cement equal
to one cubic foot. If bank-run gravel
is used, mix the concrete one part
cement to four parts gravel. Fill

THE HAMPSHIRE.

THE HAMPSHIRE.
The strong point of the Hampshire
is the rapid rate of growth in the
lambs when we'll fed. This quality
Is associated with unusual size, the
breed being the largest of the middle
wool class. Because of this feature
the breed is favored by persons wish
ing to get lambs upon the market at
am early age and who are prepared
to furnish feed and care to insure
this rapid growth.
The ewes rank with other middle
woods in the number of lambs pro-
duced, and are fully average in milk
ing qualities and mothering their
lambs. On account of its size and
weight the Hampshire is not adapted
TO very rough or scanty pastures.
ER appearance the Hampshire is
large framed, rather tall, heavy

Many farmers and stockmen want
to know how to build their own con-
crete watering tanks and troughs.
The method is easy and tank is not
expensive. To explain the plan, a
horse and cattle tank is described be-
low which holds 30 barrels of 81 u
gallons each. If desired, smaller or
larger troughs, round or square, may
be built in exactly the same manner.
Such tanks, well made, never crack,
wear out or cause mudholes.
To build an oblong tank like the
one shown in the picture mark out
the ground plan by IA feet. Within
these lines scrape away all trash and

NEW USES SHOWN
IN ASBESTOS LINE
Many Purposes Served Besides That
of Fire Prevention by the Mineral
Which is Found i'm Few
Places Only.

Washington-Some new uses of
asbestos, generally known as a fire
and heat proof substance, are in fill
tration, refrigeration and the manu-
facture of paper, Christmas trees,
clothing. Many of the finished pro-
ducts and samples of the raw ma
terial are now exhibited in the divis-
ion of mineral technology Of the older
United States National Museum
building in Washington.
Most of the asbestos mineral fibers
were obtained from the large deposits
of asbestos found in the Province of
Ontario, Canada, which supplies prac-
tically the whole world. This sub
stance occurs in veins varying in
width from a small fraction of an
inch to three and four inches. The
fibers lie across the vein, so that their
length is determined by the width
of the vein, the usual width being
from one-half to three-quartefs of an
inch. The rock containing the fibre
is quarried by surface methods much
as is limestone. After being blasted
down, the rock is usually handsorted,
the material containing fibers over
one inch in length, being hand-cobbed
or carded, a process which tears the
fiber from the rock The larger fibers
are then packed into 100-pound sacks
and shipped to the market. The usual
price per ton is about 5000.
The minute individual fibers of as
bestos are not even microscopic, being
finer than any other organic or inor-

special machinery for spinning and
weaving.
Uses of Asbestos.
The hand-cobbed raw material of
long fiber is used in making asbestos
gaslogs, spun into yarn, twisted into
rope used by fire departments, and
woven into fireproof cloth for theater
curtains, clothing, etc. The theater
curtain manufacturing business alone
is an enormous one, over 1000 cur
tains of different sizes being made
annually. The largest one of these
is that at the Hippodrome in New
York. Other theatrical uses for as
bestos are wall coverings and Innings,
and scenery where municipal regula-
tions demand absolute fire precau-
tions. This same form is used with
rubber coating in steamftting, for
valve and bearing packing, gaskets
and sheet packing, as well as to cover
mangles in steam laundries. 1t en-
tiers into automobile construction for
general packing and heat insulation,
and as brakeshoe lining.
All the material with fibers less
than three-fourths of an inch in
length goes through a milling process
to separate it from the rock; first it
is passed through a crusher which
breaks it up into one inch sizes, then
into dryer where all the moisture
is removed, and over a set of screens
separating the fibers into various
sizes, which are again crushed and
sorted. The finest screenings with

Minnie G.. Stearns, writer in Poul-
try Topics, says: ct is little short of
deliberate waste, the way that the av-
erage farm flock is permitted to shirk
the various sidelines, which, after all,
are really the part that is real profit.
The average egg production of each
hen in the United States is little more
than five dozen eggs. Counting the
fact that the professional poultryman
does far better than this, would cut
the flocks kept on farms, and under
common farm conditions, far below
these figures. The poultryman who
depends on the poultry for his bread
and butter, fully realizes the situation
and cannot afford to lose out in the
smallest part of the business"

A writer says: 81 think we have
the best way of caring for broody hens
that | have ever seen. We built a
small house and yard beside the other
chicken house and here we confine the
hens. Place oyster shells, clean water
and two or three kinds of feed in the
yard. The house contains only roosts
with no nesting material. The hens
stay in the yard all day seeing the
other chickens run around and here
they have exercise, plenty of feed,
fresh air and something to divert their
attention. 1t takes not more than
three days at most to break up hen
in this way and she comes out with
her system built up ready to begin
laying again."

One Of the most popular words of
The present age is efficiency, says
81 Alfred Westfall Of the Colorado agri-
cultural college. Economic conditions
have forced us to be more careful of
what we waste, both as individuals
and as nation. Especially is this
true of manufacturing establishments.
They are constantly irving to do away
with the waste in little things, items
that seem insignificant in themselves,
but which amount to thousands of
dollars in the course of year. Lately
this movement has spread to the farm
and farmers are becoming enthusiast
tie disciples of this gospel of efficiency.
DIR. NJ. +. Pennington of the United
States department of agriculture
points out one way in which the
farmer can watch the small leaks in
the matter Of eggs. According to
careful estimates about ten per cent
of the eggs produced fail to reach the
consumer. This means an annual loss
of fifty million dollars. Part of this
IS due TO carelessness in handling and
igart to carelessness in the matter of
gathering the eggs. Even after the
eggs get to market, they deteriorate
a great deal before they are con-
Sunned. But think of what fifty mil
lion dollars would do if applied to
rural education, to agricultural col
leges, experiment stations, or to any
one of a number of other things of
which the farmer stands in need, to-
day- How much of this fifty millions
do you contribute? Do you contribute
as much towards the support of the
country church as you do to this
fund?
As the breeding season is drawing
to a close you will probably have
many breeders to dispose of and right
now there are many who will buy
stock to get a start. Even if Matched
IN July and August, with good care,
they will make good spring and sum-
mer layers. If you have breeders to
sell advertise at once.
There is altogether too much
Fancy" in poultry literature and not

gary, as the mongrel tolerated by our
grand parents did not produce the
results that the birds of today do.
And same may be said, nor did the
old way Of feeding produce the re-
suits. as the methods of today, yet
there are many who follow the old
practice of our grand parents, simply
because they have not learned the
more practical way.
Do not plan to build the most ex-
pensive kind Of poultry buildings, nor
have them too warm, but to get
good looking and comfortable house
for the fowls as cheap as possible, and
have the buildings uniform in size and

fibers less than one-sixteenth of an
inch are called asbestos sand, from
which wall plaster and shingles are
made, and when mixed with cement
building material and mill board.
The coarser material from the screens
is fed into a cylindrical tub called a
"fberizer," which beats up the rock,
tearing loose the fbers, which are
drawn out at the top by means of
suction fan. These fibers are sorted
by shaking screens into what is
known as mills No. ! and No. 2, the
former being over one-half of an inch
in length, sell at 500 the ton, while
the latter, the small, sell for about
$50 the ton.
In Manufacture of Paper. n
Milled material is used in the
manufacture of paper, mats for
stoves and other kitchen utensils;
heat insulating materials, such as
pipe covering, boiler plate and fire
brick; building material, including
roofing boards and shingles, laths,
plaster and paint; besides gloves,
clothing for firemen and socks said to
be very cheap and practically indie
structible. One firm is trying to
make writing paper, but so far has
not succeeded on account of the
blotter-like absorption of the paper,
and the fact that while the paper
does not burn, the inscription in ink
or pencil disappear at a red heat.
With the perfection of this phase of
paper making, future generations will
be enabled to preserve manuscripts
without fireproof safes and vaults.
In refrigeratory systems asbestos
serves equally well to keep heat out,
as it does in steam and heating plants
to keep it within, and in this way
proves most valuable. When used as
packing, through its absorption quail
ties, 1T proves an ideal substance
When joint starts to leak the as
bestos quickly swells and prevents
further leakage. A new use is as a
filtering medium, in which its minute
particles form extremely fine scre[as
and remove the smallest miscroscoNic
particles, since it is not attacked by
acids or alkalis.
In the new museum building there
is collection designed to illustrate
the origin of asbestos, its manner of
natural occurrence in the earth and
its various natural forms. This latter
collection therefore constitutes an in
PRODUCTION to the purely industrial
one which has just been added to the
division Of mineral technology in the
older building of the National Mu-
seum.-Houston Post.

If you failed to set out some trees
last spring, set out some fruit trees
in the poultry yard this fall. Shade
is essential and no better place to
raise poultry than in an orchard. And
no better fruit can be raised than
where poultry is permitted to run in
among the trees. Every poultryman
should study the fruit that does the
best in his locality and plant that
which will give him the best returns.
