CONCRETE HENHOUSE
Correct Methods of Making Good
Quality Of Material.
Building Can Be Made Ratproof With
Little Trouble and Slight Expense
Perfect Drainage Is I'm.
portant Requisite.

With the rapid decrease Of our tim
Der supply and the resulting increase
in the price of lumber there has come
a necessary demand for new build
ing material. Nowhere has this de-
mand been felt more keenly than on
the American farm, where lumber has
till now been practically the only
building material On account. how
ever, Of the farmers nearness to the
timber itself. he has been the last one
to feel the full effect of the shortage.
In concrete building material has
been discovered that In many instances
has proved to be far superior to lum-
Der, brick or building stones on &C
count of its durability, economy and
safety from fire loss. Moreover, IL
can very often be used at the most
convenient time by the farmer himself
with q very little assistance
Frequently cement users have made
costly mistakes by not informing
themselves properly before starting
their work concerning the correct
methods Of making good concrete. For
this purpose the following materials
are necessary: "a cement; (2) sand;
(S) gravel or crushed stone, and az
water.
Cement is, therefore, only one part
cof concrete mixture. A far greater
proportion Of sand and gravel than
cement is required. The quantity of
cement to be used and the strength
of the concrete depends entirely on
the quality and size Of the sand and
gravel, and 1t is Of the utmost i'm
portance that these be of the right
kind With an equal amount Of CO.
ment a far stronger concrete may be
made IL the sand and gravel are of
the proper size and correctly pro-
portioned. II is sometimes thought
that any kind OF soil of sandy ma
ture, mixed with a small percentage
of cement will make concrete, but
this idea is incorrect.
In the selection Of sand great care
should be used, and attention should
be given to its quality, for sand con-

(By o. NJ. OLSON.)
The depth at which land should be
plowed depends much upon the sea-
son of the year, the kind of soil and
the physical condition of the subsoil.
Fall blowing, except for fall-grown
grain, should invariably be deeper
than spring blowing, as there is more
time for 1t to become sufficiently set.

is plowed quite deeply, and the eli
matte conditions do not thoroughly
settle the burrows, it should be thor.
oughly worked before 1t is planted.
Heavy soils need to be plowed
deeper than the lighter types Of soils.
Such soils usually have quite COM
pact subsoils, and they are benefited
by being brought to the surface. 1t
Is also benefit to heavy soils to bury
the vegetable matter at a good depth,
as this will assist in keeping the sub
soil from becoming too compact.
Lighter soils are very much the
opposite. Their subsolls are usually
not too compact, and 1t is better to
have the vegetable matter mixed with
the surface soil. Deep blowing of
such soils has a tendency to make
them too loose, and care should be
taken to thoroughly compact them be-
fore they are planted to crops.
Flowing land continuously at the
same depth every time has tendency

be avpided by varying the depth

FEEDING PUMPKINS TO STOCK
Worth Approximately rweThIrds ~
Much AZ EnsIlage for COVE or

Pumpkins are worth approximately
two-thirds as much as ensilage for
cows or sheep. Brood sows viii make
good use OF them" writes H. P. NIL
Ter In Ohio Farmer.
In the ration Of fattening hogs they
should occupy about the same place
as grass. Perhaps 50 per ton would
be q fair money value to place upon
field pumpkins for feeding cattle,
sheep or hogs.
II viii be noted that they contain
so much water that no animal should
be confined to pumpkins alone.

they are three years old, care should
be taken that they do not lay on too

freshen up rapidly whenever heavily
fed. The good dairy COW, however,
seldom gets too fat.
Sometimes cows are condemned as
being Of no use In the dairy, when
the only trouble is they are sour.
Every cow should have fair chance.
That means that she should be wen
