6 How to Make a Concrete ! us "W ater Trough. ou we tin Progressive Farmer. ^ Nearly every farmer lias to ^ have some -or! of a water trough Some will convrnc' them of of plank, others will chop out a log, while a lew will tike the horses to a mud hole and av< id all trouble. Now, if you have l*a hmthp used a c< ncrele water hy trough, you don't know what e;1 a great improvement, i; is over hu other ports. But you say at once, "That's all right hu for the fancy farmer, but 1 have C? to make my living farming". |>li Well, so do I. And that it ex- cit ac'ly why I can't be forever (toiog tlii ?gs over and over; mu^t as have lime to woik at farming. ho However, a cement water ge' trough is not as expensive as it V{ looks by a good deal. That solid sc< substantial appear.nice and ever- ?h lasting qna'ity are two of the he things the farmer can get with nn a very small outlay of cash when Be he once knows how to do (lie wn work. d i Here is how we made ours four j be years ago this fall. We had {l ( ahi u' halt a load 01 good coarse j^4J creek sand lelt ( ver from auoth- hk er job we had been at. The man hit was hauling, rock again that day ?f so wo had him to dump a cart "G load near where we wanted our foi i . trough to he. We fixed up i mortar box thr< e feet by four, out j'?? in this two bucket-; of sand and I one of best Portland cement, then more sand and cement,* un tv til there was about six bushels of 8,1 the pile. We then shoveled this 'u over four times so the sand and w' cement was very thoroughly rh mixed. The next move was to tvv make two boxes 24 inches high m ?one three feet bv seven teet, & the other two feet by six teet? both inside measure. Neither no box had any bottom. The first nt; was set right on top ol the ground m where we wished our trough to fibe located and tho other set, in- ja; sine of (he first, so there was a 8,1 six-inch space all around between Pr the two boxes. Now we sprink- i" led about a bushel of the cement ?n "'"I i.ui ?4 tA if tvua w#?t tint. i?nf to ? dripping, mixing it well while St sprinkling. Spread this between Oi the two b >X-H, then pounded nt down all the rocks into the ce merit- thai we.could and si ill have CO the concrete cover all. This tn made about six inches doep of hi concrete in our space. in We then g >t an old | iece of j U one-halt inch iron rod, about 20 hi fret long, bent it the shape our . . trough was to he and lml it in St on top ot the concrete already r<* in ; mixed s >me more concrete, re dumped i1 in, pounded in no,re h rock until the space was fill' lo i the t >p oi the boxes.
