The first logical outgrowth of
the race between Wilson and Hin

band, who is a teacher of English, was
glad that little daughter had behaved
so perfectly. Mother also was in a
happy frame of mind. There were
numerous other diners in the car and
the parents were proud of their child.
Not single thing had happened to
mar the serenity of the occasion.
Finally the heal was over and they
started to leave the car. Their way
took them past all Of the other tables.
Suddenly the little girl felt impelled

MIXING CONCRETE FOR SET
TING STEEL FENCE POSTS

National Crop improvement ServiceJ
Mixing can best be done on 4 fiat
platform made as nearly water-tiSht
as possible by Placing the boards close
together. BE sure that you have sharp
sand because sand mixed with vege-
table matter will not make good con.
crete. Measure the sand and spread
it in layer Of equal depth. Place
the cement on top of the sand and
thoroughly mix sand and cement by
turning over with a shovel or mixing
hoe, mixing urtil The color Is uniform.
Spread this mixture on the board, then
spread the gravel on the top and con-
tinue mixing. When you have a uni
form mixture, add water and continue
that until the desired consistency is
secured. Add the water slowly while
cutting it over, as this will save losing
cement. Do not slight the mixing, as
on the mixing largely depends the per-
nanent results.
II the concrete shows strcaky or dry
spots, it is not sufficiently well mixed,
and must be turned again. After the
final turning round up the pile and
it is ready for placing. If you use
sand and gravel mixed, it should be
spread on mixing board and thor
oughly wet and then spread the Ce-
ment on top and mix, adding such wa
ter as is necessary.
The concrete mixture should contain
enough water so that it will handle
nicely on si,cyel without running off
much. Slight tamping to remove bub-
bles, to fill the holes and give per-
feet fit is all that is necessary. A wet
mixture is preferable for post setting
Concrete should not be exposed to
the direct rays of the sun until it has
had time to get hard. AS soon as the
concrete at the top of the post hole is
firm, it is a good plan to cover with
earth, green grass or something that
viii in Il measure retain the moisture
If the concrete can be wet every day
for a week. il will he better for It
Do not let the concrete freeze. If the
weather is frosty. the earth taken
from the hole Sh"uld be shoveled back
on top of the concrete and left there
until the concrete has set and all dan
ger from freezing Is past.
The best mixture is one part cement
three parts sand and three parts>grav
ell. AS cement comes in bags of 1Ot
pounds, for every bag Of cement yor
should have three bags Of sand ant
three bags of gravel.
Use concrete as soon as possible af
ter it is made. If brick bats or stones
are used instead Of gravel, they should
, be broken up into small pieces.
Be sure your posts are thoroughly
set before stretching your fence.
