His parents died, leaving him the old
farm. He paid little attention TO the
land, selling the grass for enough to
pay the taxes.
Zone day a well-diPger asked per
mission to see If there was oil at the
old farm. The lawyer was shrewd
and while he did not believe there was
any, he drew up a contract which
greatly favored himself.

mixing board or platform. This
platform should be made of boards
carefully matched, in order that good
tight joints will result. This will
prevent any waste of cement and
water from leaking through. A mix
ing platform 10 feet square will be
large enough for all ordinary pur-
poses. 1t is we'll TO nail around the
outside of the board strip inch

crete from working over the edges.
The tools necessary for mixing are
generally at hand on all farms. They
consist OF shovels. rakes and hoes, and
one or two water buckets. II is con-
venient to construct a bottomless
measuring box for measuring the
sand and gravel. The size of this
box is determined by the proportions
TO be used. For a mixture of part
cement to parts sand, the measur-
ing box should contain 3 cubic feet.
The sand and cement should be thor
oughly mixed in the dry state, so that

prevent the fresh concrete from ad-
herring to the iron. Deposit two or
three inches of concrete in the molds
and then commence the tamping. This
tamping is accomplished by a long
handled tamper furnished with the
molds, and so designed as to pass
easily between the inner and outer
mold. Continued depositing and
tamping the concrete until the mold
is full. Be careful to fill the mold
gradually. II half filled with concrete
at the start and then tamped this will
not result in a strong and uniform
pipe. The tamping should be done
continuously from the time the first
concrete is deposited until the mold is
full. When the concrete reaches the
top it should be struck off to a smooth
even surface with trowel or float.

Raise More Poultry.

While all kinds of meat continues
to advance in price, farmers should
turn their attention to the raising of
poultry, the industry that turns the
waste into money, that buys clothes
and groceries for the family and pro-
vides the table with the most delect-
able dishes, says Western Farm Life.

and child in the country ate one egg

which at IL cents per dozen would
amount to $273, 100000. Raise more
poultry and assist in cutting down the
high cost of living.

A Portland cement of any standard
brand will be suitable. The sand
should be clean and coarse, with the
particles well graded from fine up to
a inch in size If gravel is used for
very large pipes, it should be clean
and also well graded in size, the peb-
bles running from u inch to q inch
in diameter. When only cement and
sand are used the concrete should be
mixed in the proportion of l part
Portland cement to Pc or 3 parts
sand. measuring these materials by
volume. For measuring purposes it
is safe to assume that / bag of ce-
ment is one cubic foot. In very large
sizes of pipe where gravel can be
used, the concrete should be mixed in
the proportion of part Portland ce
ment to parts sand to parts gravel.
For most farmers a simple handmold
for making pipe will be sufficient.
These handmolds are inexpensive and
turn out pipe quite rapidly when
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1915-01-09

AS soon as it is deposited and lamp
ing is completed the molds can be re-
moved. In doing this care should be
taken to avoid Earring the fresh con-
crete, as this might result in the col
lapse Of the pipe.
Curing the Pipe. &c.
After the molds are removed the
pipe should be allowed TO rest undis-
turbed for "a hours. They should then
be kept wet by means of sprinkling
or covering with burlap or rough
cloth Keep the covering moist. The
pipe should not be allowed to dry out
for at least one week. 1t will be
found that this curing" will add
greatly to the strength and durability
of the pipe. After thorough curing
the pipe can be removed to the stor-
age place. They should not be rough
ly handled, however, until one or two
months of age. During the winter
it is best to protect the tile from
freezing temperature until one month
after making. Hand-molds may be
obtained for making either plain
straight pipe or pipe with bell and
spigot ends. Bell end pipe are some
what more difficult to make. There
are several machines on the market
which run by power and which turn
out tile in much large quantities than
can be done with the small hand
molds. These machines are costly
and would be necessary only where
the quantity of pipe would be suffi-
GENTLY large to warrant the extra ex-
penditure.
In conclusion, success in this under
taking, as in every other form Of con-
crete construction, depends upon the
selection of proper materials and
careful and thorough workmanship.

Something About Eggs.

Eggs boiled twenty minutes are
more easily digested than If boiled
ten. They are dry and mealy, and
are readily acted upon by the gas
trio Juice. The yolk of an egg we'll
beaten is a very good substitute for
cream in coffee. An egg will season
three cups. Hoarseness and tickling
in the throat are relieved by a gargle
of the white of IN egg beaten to
froth with a tun.blerful of warm,
sweetened water. Beat an egg fif-
teen minutes with a pint of milk and
a pint Of water, sweeten with gran
ulated sugar, bring to boiling point
and when cold use as drink. 1t is
excellent for a cold.

one set within the other. The inside
cylinder is collapsible and the outside
cylinder can be removed in sections.
When hand-molds are used it is good
practice to make up the tile during
the winter, doing the mixing and
placing of the concrete indoors, where
there will be no danger of freezing.
After the tile have become we'll hard
ened, say in about two weeks or one
month, they can be placed outdoors
until used. In this way the required

Feather pulling may be checked

This renders the feathers distaste-

1t is a fact that at the present
time, the pref red food does not
cost much more than an equal
amount of cracked corn. We can
not object to it on account of the
price, and there is no waste what
ever in feeding. So, if you want
winter eggs and lots of them, it
will pay you to give it a trial.

can be seen. When this is accom-
plished the water should be added,
taking care that too much is not ap-
piled at first. The mixture should
then be turned and mixed until a
paste of even consistency results. For
use in tile work the concrete should
not be too wet. II should be what
is called dry mix This dry mix is
used so that the fresh concrete will
hold its shape when the molds are
removed.

Before starting to mix the concrete
the molds should be set in place on a
level and solidly supported board
platform. In setting up the molds
the directions contained in the print
ed matter accompanying them should
be followed. The surfaces of the
molds which come in contact with
the concrete should be well oiled with
