CEMENT WATERING TROUGH.
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.
Try to deliver a superior article and
keep your standard up. A good rep
utation —is It uot worth striving for?
THE DAIRY BUSINESS.
Four Important Factors in Develop
ment of Industry.
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.

the top. A piece of wood of the de
sired length may be beveled at one
end and fastened to the frame on the
other. 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.

OATS $37 PER ACRE IN SOUTH
ERN ALBERTA, WESTERN
CANADA,
Coaldale, Alta, Can., Nov. 19. 1907.
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,
