BUILDING A CONCRETE TANK
First Essential Is Careful Selection OF
Sand and GraveI-Be Careful
in Use of Water.

By T. r. SEWALL, Northwest School of
Agriculture, Crookston, Mimi
Careful selection of sand and grav-
ell is the first necessity in the con-
struction of a concrete water tank for
the farm. Sand should be clean and
sharp, containing not more than three
or four per cent of clay. If 1t contains.
more clay it should be washed. Gravel
should also be clean and not more
than three-fourths OF an inch in diam
eter for small tanks or one inch for
large tanks. A good mixture for tanks
may be made of one part of Portland
cement: two parts of clean, coarse
sand; and three parts of screened
gravel.
The cement, sand and gravel should
be thoroughly mixed dry, by turning
with a shovel or hoe. Water should
then be added, little at time, I'M
til the mixture is mushy but not
sloppy. If too much water is used and
the forms are not tight, part of
the cement will leak out with the
water and the concrete will be weak
ened.
In making large tank, or one
that is going to be moved from place
TO place, reinforcing of iron rods or
wire mesh is required, though old
wagon tires or pieces of strap iron
are often used. 1t is important that
the wall reinforcing be made contin-
uous around the corners.
The tank, if a large one, should
rest on its own foundation and have
a concrete floor surrounding it. This
floor will keep the tank more sanitary
and also keep the water, spilled by
the cattle, from undermining the tank.
The tank may be cast upside down
by using a wooden core, and an out
side form. The outside form is made
straight up and down, while the inside
core is made wider at the top than
the bottom. Then if the water should
freeze in the tank the ice will slide
up the sloping sides and be less like
~ to crack them.

PLAN FOR HANDLING MANURE
Best Way Is to Haul Fertilizer to
Fields Every Day-Every Farmer
Should Own Spreader.

The very best way of handling ma
nure is to haul it out day by day, or
week by week, as it is made, if this
can be done. Many farmers think
that manure applied in this way will
lose it's value before the next crop is
grown on the land but experiments
show that there is very little loss in
this case unless the land is very
rolling.
The next method of handling ma
nure is to feed under an open shed
where the manure is kept tramped
down compactly through the feeding
season and then hauled during the
summer at leisure time. Manure
kept compactly in this way under COW
err loses very little. OF course, the
practice of feeding the animals d.
rectly on the fields is good one, but
the difficulty is in getting the manure
scattered over the whole field.
Farmers should understand more
thoroughly the advantages to be de-
rived from the use of a manure
spreader and every farm of 100 acres
or over where cattle are fed around
the buildings should not be without
this implement.

DANGER IN CROSSING BREEDS
Best Results Are Attained by Stick
ing to One Breed-Let Man of
Leisure Do Experimenting.

All practical hog growers agree
that crossing the breeds is a danger
Gus practice, and that the best results
are attained by sticking to one
breed.
Still, some men are clinging to the
idea that it is possible to incorporate
all the good qualities of the different
breeds into a close-bred animal.
It is a disastrous belief If put into
practice. There may be certain in
stances when crossing will give good
results, as in the production of pig
pork.
The man who is experimenting with
the various breeds and crosses, in
search of something better than has
yet been found, may have a mission,
but such line of investigation is not
practical for the man who must de-
pend upon the return from his swine
feeding for his farm profits.
He is on safer ground if he confines
his taste and skill to- improving one
well established breed and leaves the
experimenting to the man of leisure
and means.
