CONCRETE ON THE FARM.

If there is any one thing more than another
that has aided the farmer in making his farm
stead more attractive, his live stock more COM
Portable and his farm more valuable It. is con-
crete on the farm. 1t is of the most eco
nomicaI and suitable farm-building materials. In
permanency it cannot be surpassed. In fact 1t
is unequaled in this one respect Concrete is
also one of the biggest factors in making build
ings rat and mouse proof. Needless to say rats
and mice have always been a constant menace
to the farmers grain bins and corncribs but the
widespread use of concrete on the farm has great
" reduced the damage done to stored grains
Perhaps the greatest value OF concrete how
ever is the fact that it be mixed by the farm
er himself. Instead of having to depend upon
expensive masons ami carpenters he can empIov
his spare tine in concrete construction. because
concrete work is something that anyone can learn
with little practice.

GOOD TOP DRESS FOR WHEAT
Application of as Little as Two Tons
of Manure Per Acre May Increase
Yield Ten Bushels.

It pays big profit to top dress the
wheat with manure. An application
of as little as two tons PEI acre may
increase the yield ten bushels; at least
it has done this much one year with
another in Indiana tests. Four tons
make only about two bushels more.
The manure benefits the wheat di-
rectly through the plantfood which it
contains, and indirectly through the
winter protection, which often is of
greater value. Where manure is used
as top dressing the stand of clover
is generally better. There is an or
ganic benefit from the manure which is
considerable and is not so easily ex-
planned. Where as much or more plant
food is applied in the form of COM
mercial fertilizers the resulting yield
has not been as large.

Starting Black Locust.
In starting black locust, small
sprouts with portion of the root may
be dug up and used; or, better, the
seed may be sown in the spring in
drills in good SOIL like onion seed. AT
the end of the season the seedlings
will be from two to four feet in height
and satisfactory in size for setting out.
This may be done in the late fall, but
the spring season, about the time
growth starts, is preferable. In some
regions the locust wood bOrer is al
most certain to cause extensive dam
age to young plantations unless special
precautions are taken to keep the
trees in a healthy growing condition
and the bark shaded by foliage, either
from nearby trees, shrubs, or weeds.
