CEMENT TILE FOR DRAINAGE
They Have Advantage Where Fire Clay
Is Not Obtainable-Best Mix
ture for Small Pieces.

During the last decade cement tile
have come to be used extensively for
drainage purposes. They have an ad-
vantage where fire clay is not obtain
able within reasonable distance. The
mixture which is found most satisfac-
tory for smaller sizes is four parts
Of clean, sharp sand to one Of cement.
For larger sizes, slightly rich mix
ture is preferred. Cement tile should
be made Of a uniform, frst-class mix
ture, should be well cured and should
be dense. Such tile should be care
fully cured anI if well made will last
indefinitely.
Where freight is an important item
the farmer should choose whatever he
can secure the cheapest, whether red
or cement tile, provided he can get
good, strong tile and get the breakage
refunded. Certain alkali salts cause
cement to deteriorate and in irrigat-
ed districts some precautions should
be taken to determine the character
Of alkali before cement tile can be
safely used.
