Permanent Improvement Which One Farmer Put In Himself. Locust Grove farm, which belong 3 to mv wife, possesses a. good spring of ~» crystal water. TJr *",J± Years ago her fa -[7? ' ther piped the wa o l| ter to a log trough, near the farm «. i> buildings. This I primitive trough ( I lasted for many years, but finally sprung a leak, an ideal wallow ing place lor the . pigs. 1 did not r ' cherish this sort 5* of spot and cast "*• 0 about for some- I thing of a perman §ll 112 I t " "J ent • character to •L 4ljfc|u i( make a water 2 * 2 trough. 1 decided Frame Construe- U p on cement and t' on - concluded to con struct it myself. I secured all the ma terial, including sand, gravel, boulders and cement;, and set to work upon tho frame. The frame was made of one-inch plank of different widths. The ac companying line cut gives a good idea of the method used In constructing this frame. The outside frame was ten feet long and 2V S feet wide, with the ends bolted together, as indicated in E. The ends measured four feet ten inches by -\*> feet. The length of the inside frame at the top was eight feet 7% inches, at the bottom eight feet 1% inches; the ends at the top three feet ten inches and the bottom three feet four inches. This frame was 21/2 feet deep. The figure shows how the cleats arw put onto hold tho ends in place. I used eight one-half inch bolts for the outside and set two by twos, so the bolts would reach. By making the top of the crate larger than the bottom the wall at. the bottom is thicker, thus making the inside wall slope out. This gives the thawing ice a chance to rise. Wedges should he used on end boards of in side crate and small nails for nailing on the cleats for the ends of the in side crate. These should be nailed just so they hold the boards in place. 1 used rough lumber for building tho crates, but would advise the use of planed lumber instead. After getting the material in shape be sure the tank is properly located, as it cannot be moved about when once in place as a wooden or steel tank. Place the pipes where they cannot, freeze. This is very impor tant. Level off and stake the founda tion about six inches larger than out side measurements of inside crate and dig six or eight inch trench about this, deep enough to be below frost. This will leave a block of dirt. Take enough off this to leave the foundation five or at* inches deep, when concrete is put on, and see that there are no soft places in it.in this trench put a layer of clean boulders and concrete, using unscreened gravel in parts of one to ten; then another layer of boulders and concrete, and so on, almost to the top of the trench, making the concrete richer of cement as the top is neared. The top should be made of concrete in the proportion of one to six or seven. After the trench has been filled con crete alone should be used, one to six, and filled to the proper height for the bottom of the tank. This should be leveled off and the crate set on this foundation. After the space between the inside and outside crates has been divided, it is ready to fill. Mix enough con crete, one to six, to make a six-inch layer around the space. Do not use coarse gravel for this. After the con crete has been tramped down place a No. 9 galvanized wire around the space, so it will be about the center of the wall when completed, as shown at A. Secure the ends and see that, the wire does not come ,close to the edge of the wall any place. Putin the next layer of concrete and the wire in the same way, and so onto the top. Tamp each layer well, so there will be no holfis in it. Let this stand about 24 hours, then remove the inside crate, being careful not to break the wall in any place. The outside wall should not be dis turbed until the inside is finished, says the writer in Orange .ludd Farm er. Plaster the inside one-fourth inch thick with sand and cement, one to three, beginning at a corner and go ing around the tank. Plaster the bot tom next. Care must be taken in plastering the corners where the sides meet not to leave any place where it is liable to leak afterward. The bolts can then be removed from the outside and the crate taken off. The outside should be plastered, including the top of the walls. With a brush and a little pure cement and water the entire sur face should be washed; this to stop any small pores in the wall. Let this stand for about 12 hours before letting in the water. If the work has been carefully done there will be no leak ages and the tank will be one that will last a century and still be in good coa dition.

It is well for the land fertility that there Is much increased interest in the dairy business. There is more inquiry for good cows now than ever before. C. L. Beach mentions four important factors in this development: First. The co-operation in the man ufacture of butter and cheese. Then there is education, including the inves tigation of the experiment stations and the instruction contributed by tha dairy press, jlairy schools and dairy instructors. Third, are (he results of inventive genius—the separator, the Uabcock test, refrigerating cars, silo and the milking machine. Fourth, the importation aud spread of pure-bred dairy cattle. These four factors are in full swing to-day and will result in still greater development. But special advance in the near future will be along the lino of more economy in production. The man who can produce a pound of butter fat at the least cost will I>h the public benefactor. The dairy farm may hope to produce the dairy products at less cost by study and ap plication of the four following prob lems: First. Intelligent feeding. Second. Kindness and regularity in the care, feeding and milking of his dairy animals. Third. Selection of the cow. Fourth. More intelligent breeding. IMPROVE THE FARM DAIRIES. Aim of Farmer Should Always Be for Better Cows and Methods. The farm dairies should be im proved, and that, too, as rapidly as possible. There are many reasons why the farm dairy under proper man agement can he made more service able than any other means of taking care of the milk produced on the farm. When the milk can be made up into products on the farm, and when the products will bring the high est market price, the farmer that keeps cows will be in a position to take life easy. Taking ail things to gether, says the Farmers' Review, the making of butter on the farm IMS less complications than in any other place. The farmer does not then have to arrange for his milk or cream to he hauled to market or go himself, to the detriment of the other work on the farm. Hut we have to face the fact at this time that the differ ence in price between farm butter and creamery butter is so great that the farmer cannot afford to make his own butter. That is the reason why the farm dairies must be im proved if the farmer is going to make butter. TO HOLD EARN WINDOWS OPEN. Simple Device Which Makes Ventila tion Easy.

This will he found an easy and effective method. DAIRY NOTES. Low wtiges and frequent changes of butter makers will ruin any creamery. Plan on attending the state dairy convention in your state. It will do you a whole lot. of good? Do yout cows like to see you come around? If so, then they like the treatment they are getting. Cool cream immediately afte? separating, no matter what disposi tion you intend to make of it. Make preparations to attsnd the Northfleld convention in January if you are a Minnesota dairyman. Don't neglect to keep the covA clean and to strain the milk, just be cause it is going to the creamery. If our cows were as poor cows as their owners are dairymen the an nual production per cow would be a great deal lower than it is. It's a great deal easier to keep the cow up to her How of milk by prop er feeding than to bring her back again if the Row is allowed to drqp off. Don't feed a lot of high-priced corn to cows ami expect them to return a profit. Corn is not a milk making food, and should only be used in bal ancing a ration. If you have ten cows and you know five of them are scrubs, sell them and devote your attention to the five good ones. There's more money In rui* oiug the business that way.

Sir: I beg to say that this year we had 349 acres of grain, consisting of 197 acres of spring wheat and 152 acres of oats. The average yield of wheat was 38 bushels per acre and oats 74 bushels. We were offered SI.OO per bushel for wheat and 50 cents for oats, making the acre val ues lor the two crops $38.00 and $37.00 respectively. We also had 50 tons of hay worth $13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of po tatoes, worth t!0 cents per bushel, the latter off acres of ground. Our best yields this year were 107 . cres of wheat, making 41 bushels per acre at sl. 00 per bushel, would b» $41.00 per acre; 47 acres of oats, yield ing 95 bushels per acre were sold for 50 cents per bushel. Proceeds, $47.00 per acre. I might add that 50 acres of our oata were "stubbled in." During the spring of 1906, we hired about 300 acres bfoken by steam. Wa putin and harvested 55 acres of grain last year, did the remainder of our breaking, worked up the ground and seeded this year's entire crop, put ia seven acres of alfalfa and Ave acres of garden potatoes, trees, etc., ail with one four-horse team. During har vest we hired other teams, but, asida from this, and part of the breaking, the one team did the work of raising practically 19,000 bushels of grain, worth $12,000. Yours truly, W. H. PAWSON, JR. WINTER WHEAT 25 TO 30 BUSH. ELS TO THE ACRE IN SOUTH ERN ALBERTA. Warner, Alta, Canada, Jan. 9, 190 S. Dear Sir: This is the first year of farming in this settlement. Mr. A. L.
