In laying out the earthen pit, bear
in mind that the concrete walls and

In order to form a stump hole from
which the liquid manure can be
pumped, in one corner at the deep

The walls and floor are 5 inches

pit are: Depth, 3 feet; width, 6
feet; length, IL feet. Dig the trench
8 feet s inches by feet 10 inches
by IL feet 10 inches. By keeping the
sides vertical only an inside form
will be needed. Frame the sides and
ends separately. For the sides cut
the 1-inch siding ~ feet long and
nail it to four 2 by inch uprights
8 feet long and equally spaced. The
end uprights for the sides are by
inches nailed fiat to the siding; the
others are also 2 by but are nailed
on edge. 1t is not necessary to cut
these uprights to exact lengths; they
may be allowed to extend above the
siding. Make the siding for the end

edge of two by a inch uprights.
Place a single by upright between
each end pair. Cut four cross braces,

woven-wire fencing, 712 feet long, to

A New Thought For The New Year

and girls preparing to go to college.
"Jim Smith," "Sam," and all the
members Of Vacation Farm are will
ing to work overtime if by so doing
they can help only one 13-year-old
girl earn her way through college,
and merely suggest some of the
ways by which these young people
will be helped:
First, by friendly advice. The
Sand Farmer will write to these
young people and find out whether
they are willing that he shall write
to their parents where it may be
necessary, as in this case, to advise
with the father as to whether he
would be willing TO have his daugh
ter keep ten sheep, or perhaps ten
hens, or till a piece Of ground on
which she might raise berries, or
some kind of crop which she could
manage. The Sand Farmer will tell
her what to do, and in such a case as
the Sudan grass, or the new millet
produced at Vacation Farm this
year, he will send her seeds, which
she can plant, and then sell the seeds
when the crop is ripe. There is a
great demand for the Sudan grass
seed, and a number of the new plants
that have been lately developed, and
in this way these abitious children
can be of real value to any cOmmun-
ity where they conduct these expert
ments but, of course, they will have
to have the cooperation of their par
ents in preparing the land, except in
some cases, where they live near the
railroads, and have no farms, in
which cases the Sand Farmer may
be able to secure them a piece Of
ground to till along the railroad
right-of-way.
Secondly, by suggesting some bus
mess enterprise which they may be
able to carry on, such as making ar
ticles to sell, or selling some article
in their community.
Other ways may develop from
time to time, but the Sand Farmer
invites all ambitious fathers and
mothers who wish to do something
for their children, or ambitious boys
and girls who wish to do something
for themselves, TO write to him il
they are willing to agree that the
money they earn shall be deposited
in some bank, and used only for a
college course.
Trusting that 1915 may be a good
year for all of US because we have
done something for some one else.
am, Sincerely yours,
THE SAND FARMER
Charlevoix county herald., 1915-01-23

The Sand Farmer received the fol-
lowing letter as the result of his
story, Little Pete and His Ten
Sheep" written nearly year ago,
and it has set him to thinking:
Mr.. L. p. Haight,
"Muskegon, Michigan
Dear Sir: l saw in the Edwards
burg paper where you gave ten
sheep to a boy for a start toward
earning his own way through col
lege. | am girl IL years old, and
am in the Sixth grade. l have lots
of time to care for anything like

if you have any more sheep to let
out would like to have some to earn
my way through college. IF you
have let me know.
"Yours truly"
This girl of Is years has an am
bition to fit herself for life, and is
willing to work for an opportunity to
go to college. While she misunder-
stood the story of Little Pete" and
did not realize that the Sand Farmer
made Little Pete" this offer to show
what ten sheep could be made to do
on Michigan farm, she has opened
up a new field of investigation for
che Sand Farmer and on this, the
last day Of the old year, he is MAX
ing plans for the coming year by
which he hopes to help ambitious
boys and girls who have time, or will
make time to care for sheep, or
half acre of ground, and are willing
TO agree TO place all the money they
may earn in some savings bank, and
not to use it until they are ready for
college, or FL years of age. These
boys and girls have the power of
looking further into life than their
fathers and mothers, whose eyes
have often been dulled by hardship
and disappointment. These young
people are at an age when they need
to hitch their wagon to star and
use all Of their youthful enthusiasm
in getting up a momentum which
shall carry them over the hard plac-
es only too sure to come
The Sand Farmer has not enough
sheep to 60 around, but he may be
able to help some of these young
people get some, or perhaps suggest
some other way they can earn as
much as "Little Pete" with his ten
sheep, and the Sand Farmer will try
to make the Sand Farm Department
of real interest to his young read
ers this year. He will in no case di-
vulge their name, and would like to
feel that as the result of this work
ne had at least one hundred boys

il upward to meet the driveway in
cline.
In general, the framing of the
forms is similar to that of shallow
pits. If the earthen walls stand
firm, only an inside form will be
needed. Otherwise, build an outer
form. For the forms use 1-inch sid
ing on by inch studding spaced
feet inches. These uprights need
not be cut to exact lengths. Save
lumber by allowing them to extend
above the siding. Stiffen each Sec
ton of the form by mailing by a
inch scantling to the uprights at top
and bottom of the forms.
Erect the forms in the pit. Set
them on 8-inch concrete blocks or
bricks, so that the floor may be built
under them. To prevent bullying,
! cross-brace the forms with 2 by A
inch timbers. Begin filling with con-
crete, as for shallow manure pits,
and do not stop until the job is COM
pleted.
Lay the floor for the bottom and
the incline the same as for shallow
pits. To give teams sure footing
on the incline, embed in the concrete
the turned-up ends of iron cleats
bent at right angles, similar to a
capital U. Old wagon tires, cut in
lengths not greater than 20 inches

Concrete T1anure Pits

Every farmer knows the great
value of barnyard manure as COM
pared with other fertilizers and he
also knows, or should know, that a
vast deal of it is wasted when piled
in the open or stored in sheds or
pens. The purpose of this brief ar
ticle is to tell him how to preserve
it's full value at minimum cost.
When left in the open manure de-
teriorates in fertilizing properties
and is washed away by rain.
Stored in sheds or pens, heating
or firing" takes place through lack
Of moisture. The remedy for these
conditions has come with the advent
Of the concrete manure pit.
The concrete pit when properly
made is waterproof, thus insuring
the proper degree of moisture and
also the preservation of liquid ma
nure that formerly ran to waste.
Will a concrete pit pay
The answer is that from 80 to 40
per cent Of the strength of manure
is wasted under the extravagant
practices described above. Govern
ment experts have estimated that
one load Of manure stored in a con-
crete pit is worth from IL to
loads Of manure cared for in the or
binary way. This is large percent
age in favor Of the concrete pit.
1t is comparatively easy to handle
manure from the pit and especially
so when liquid manure is needed for
the garden or truck patch. 1t can
be pumped from stump hole made
at one end Of the pit for that pur-
pose.
In a majority Of cases farmers will
probably find the shallow manure
pit the most convenient and practi-
cal. The sectional drawing Gig. ~,
shows the type of construction.
These pits are especially convenient
when manure Is hauled TO the fields

inch wall on all sides. Join them by
mailing together the 2 by AS at the
corners of the sides and ends. DO
not drive the nails home. Cross-brace
with by AS and with i1-inch boards
from each central end upright to the
second side upright.
Quickly begin filling the forms with
concrete almost wet enough TO pour,
and keep it practically the same
height on all sides. Puddle the con
crete by running long paddle up
and down next to the form. Do not
punch the earthen wall. Dirt in the
concrete may make a poor wall. If
the top of the earthen wall tends to
crumble, hold it back with 1-inch
boards braced against the forms. To
keep out flood water, the pit may be
extended 6 inches above the ground
by using the lower half of a 1-foot
board to hold back the dirt, by al
lowing the remainder to project
above the ground level, and by add
ing inches to the height of the in
side form. Remove the forms after
the concrete has set four days by
first drawing the nails in the corner
2 by As. The pit may be used after
10 days.
