March into April. The moon is in
perigee on the first, passing to south
declination. The vernal equinox is
still in force, Mars is in perihelion

Mercury and Earth. A low baromet-

carefully to keep the inside smooth
and perpendicular. Fill the ditch with
concrete, keeping supply of boulders
weighing from two to seven pounds
to crowd in before the mortar hard
ems, for the purpose of working out
air spaces.
The next step is to dig and throw
out the dirt until you get seven feet
lower than your concrete wall. Plas-
ter this portion of the wall with one
part cement and two parts good sand,
putting on three coats and then paint
with pure cement and water.
Place two posts on opposite sides
of the wall, and opposite each other
fasten them with 2x12 and put on a
pulley. Set post the length of your
windlass from one Of your tall posts,
using a rope and bucket for the pur-
pose of carrying dirt while the ex-
cavating work is in progress. For
the latter / would recommend using
flaring sheet iron boxes, eight inches
longer than wide, with bail acress,
and which would hold about $50
pounds. Make this substantial and
utilize it later for carrying ensilage.
Continue to excavate and cement to
the depth you want or until too much
seepage comes, then finish the bottom
as you have the sides, with plaster
and paint of cement, and you will
have tank that will hold water like
a jug.
This Kind Convenient, Safe
and Economical.
Do not let an agent tell you about
the dangers from poisonous gases and
of seepage spelling your ensilage, for
he is only trying to sell you his wares.
| Now to prevent stock falling into
the pit and to make it more conven-
lent for feeding, extend your concrete
wall six feet higher. When you COM

this block with concrete and later
withdraw it, leaving a window about
the right size for the ensilage to fall
from the cutter and also a space to
run water in. This is easily closed
with the block.
Before using ensilage, put a sheet
iron apron on top Of your wall, op-
posite the window and fasten it to
the tall post, letting the inside pro-
ject foot or more so the end Of
the bucket will catch 1t and tip the
contents into trough which leads to
