(. TO MAKE CONCRETE CULVERT Propor Drainage la Foundation of Qood Roads?Plan for Making Substantial Form. ' - The proper drainage with good culvert 13 tho foundation of good roads. Concrete stands at tho head of the class of materials for culverts and abutments. Excavate to the depth of 3 feet and width of 6 feet, and the full width of the road. Set up and stake In place iwo pianns or slabs 10 inches wide, as shown at BB in the picture. As these pieces aro to remain in place, they may be of any ordinary stuff just good enough to hold the concrete in place until it sets. These pieces are set 5 feet at the end where the water starts In and 5V& at the lower end. They should have a fall of 1 inch to each foot In length. Now, put a layer of concrete G inches deep, and hollow out and smooth down. Raise the side toward BB, keeping them In position as shown In the picture. Set up 10-inch boards cc IS inches from BB. This will make the walls of curvert IS inches thick, and the ODCninir 2 feet widfi lit the nnimr r?n<1 and 2 feet nn<l 6 inches at the lower. As the forms are being filled with concrete, sand or gravel should be filled In at "a" for a core, which afterward may be shoveled out and earth filled in behind the outside pieces to hold It in position. When the form is filled to the top of the planks the center, or core, should be rounded up with sand to form the arch of opening in the culvert. This sand should be packed solid and smoothed off nicely so the surface of the arch will bo smooth. A plank should bi? set up at each end of the culvert before any concrete ih jiui in, so ino onus win do smooth and look well. Wings, or side walls may be built at the name time as ihu Concrete Culvert Form. culvert by cutting off the ends of BI3 10 Inches, or 1 foot, and running a form out as long as the wings are wanted.

The gravel, if not damp, should he dampened, then mix with the sand and cement. Turn the mixture three times, dry, and add enough water to make a thick mortar; turn two more times and shovel into the , forms; puddle or pack into the forms with stamping stick or piece of 2x1inch scantling. * j When finished let stand one day, then put on the earth which will help lo dry out the concrete all alike. Any time after one week the same may be shoveled oat. Now you have a culvert of ono Folld piece; one that will not rot. out, wash away, nor. can It be torn down by the boys while hunting rabbits. Pumpkins Good Feed. Pumpkins are good hog and cattle feed, but do not feed all of them immediately. Save some for ln.ti> winter feeding. The animals will relish ilium hotter than they do now.

Tho first ,|?f|niHito for insuring a good wheat crop, granted a favorablo season, is a well-prepared and enriched seed bed. A crop planted in deep ground will ; stand more drought and mature with i iialf the cultivation required by a crop , on shallow ground. Potatoes that have been well pro- [ tected all through the season by the Bordeaux spray are not so likely to rot In cellar or pit. Applying a fertilizer rich in phosphorus with moderate amounts of potassium and nitrogen will prove valuable on most pasture lands. it rougnage is scarce, stack well the wheat straw. Bright wheat straw will go a long way toward filling out a season of short roughage crops. Few farmers recognize that a pas ture needs fertilizing, that the constant removal of fertility reduces tho crop-producing powers of the Innd. Wo aro prone to let a few weeds go to seed In tho fall, hoping that frost will prevent seeding. Hut the risk is too groat. Wo should watch tho corners and clean tho garden as well as In the spring.
