' CEMENT FOR FARM USE. ft May lie Profitably Employed in Many Ways About the llousc and Farm and Costs But Little. Ey J. E. Bridgeman. The proper use of cement supplies so many needs on the farm that the following article on cement brick making is sure to be of great value to every ingenious farmer. N - Cement brick may be easily made on the farm, and used for all purposes for which clay brick or stone are now used, and they may also be : - - * - ?? u-.-au ! used for some things tnat cuiy unm or stone could not be xised for. The cost in most cases will be less than the clay brick. The illustrations show the mold for making the brick, also six of the fin- 1 ished brick on the drying palette or board. The two sides of this mold arc formed of 2x6-inchtimber: the twelve centre cross pieces are of lxC boards, while almost any lumber may be used. Hard wood, however, if smooth and straight, is preferable. The brick are supposed to be 2x4x 8 inches and set as shown on one face. This permits the molder to face the brick with a very rich cement mixture?say about one inch, and the remaining space in the mold is filled with a leaner or weaker mixture. While it is true that a mixture of one part cement and four parts coarse sand will make a brick that will support a great amount of weight, it will Rot be waterproof, so by filling the first one inch with a mixture of one tpart cement and one or -two parts sand we get a waterproof brick on the f"? orroaflv rorturpfj C.OSt. The various parts of this mold are, as shown, interchangeable, and must all be of the same size. The mold is held together by the two bolts C C. which have hand taps that are quickly loosened. The mold sets on a bottom ooard, B, and is squared and held in place by the four blocks, AAA A. Many failures have been made trying to make cement brick with molds held together with hinges, hooks, etc., as almost all of these molds are constructed in a way that it is impossible to keep them square or sufficiently rigid to tamp the cement in the molds. When the molds have been filled the palette or drying board is placed on top of the mold and all turned upside down, the bottom removed, the bolts loosened and the parts may then be easily taken away from the brick without spoiling or chipping the edges. The mold must be smoothed with sandpaper and kept well oiled. Af ter the mixture is wen tainpeu iu. place level off the top with a straight board and place the brick under some shed or at least in the shade. Keep the palettes under water for several hours before using them, but be sure that all the surplus water has been drained off. The entire operation of molding the brick is quickly and easily done. For all ordinary work use a mixture of one part cement to three or four parts coarse, clean sand. Mix dry and add water until it is of the consistency of thick jelly and will hold Its'shape when squeezed in the hand. Before laying the brick in the wall wet them thoroughly and keep them well dampened while drying for at least ten days. While it will be possible to handle them, and if necessary lay them in the wall when only ten or fifteen days old, they will not be entirely hardened for several months. Electricity On the Farm. A fr\\v wodIts 5i>n tho Vpw York Tribune mentioned the enterprise of an Illinois farmer, who utilized a stream which flowed through his land for the development of electricity. With the current so obtained he operated a variety of machines and secured light for his house and dairy barn. Since then we have seen re , ports of a few similar ventures in other parts of the country. It seems probable, however, that a wider use of electricity will be made on the farm when companies having big plants in cities reach out for addi- j tional custom. There are certain hours in the night and months in the yeas when the demand for .electric lights and electric power for railways is greatly below the maximum. Companies can afford to offer favorable terms to customers who will consume the surplus output of their dynamos, and the farmer can be spared the necessity of spending money for that kind of machinery and for water wheels to run it. An instance of this kind is afforded in Western New York. From a paper read at the meeting of the National Electric Light Association a fortnight ago it appears that a company doing a large business in Rochester found that a great part of its apparatus stood idle from April 1 to October 1. and it! began an active canvass for new patrons. Already it furnishes current for forty farm motors in ad joining towns, but it has also discovered a class of work which cau be performed quite as well by night as by day?pumping water ft.- irrigation. It might be supposed that irrigation would be uncalled for in the vicinity of Rochester, because the rainfall there is more abundant than in most parts of the country. So variable, however, is the precipitation in localities which are usually well supplied that crops frequently suffer from drouth where the norma: conditions are favorable. If provision should be made for supplementing the natural supply, a more uniform crop could be secured. With that expectation a few fruit growers neai ^ ' ' to ^ ^ ^ Rochester are tow irrigating their ' orchard?. A year or two her.ce the result of ihe experiment will he J known, and it may prove a valuable i object lesson both to the farmer and j to other electric companies than the j one having headquarters in Monroe > County. I I Stock Water On the Farm. Having had much experience and ' dissatisfaction in regard to stock j water for hogs on the farm. I think 1 j have solved the problem that to me j is very satisfactory. I am so fortunate . as to own a farm with no other facil- j ities for water than a well and to : provide water at all times gave me j much trouble, as I went over the long ! Hst of fountains on the market, many i of which are worthless and very trou- j blesome. The fountains for barrels and tanks i that are usually sold by dealers are ; all right so long as clean water is ' kept inside and not in daily use by stock, and will show up much better , than when in actual use. The life of I them in my experience is short and j frequently you find your hogs wallow- i 3 ing iu a mud hole near by where the ! < finat nr valve has failed to do its j < work and then to pet inside of that | J barrel and repair it (if you can) is : < no Email job. In winter you have no ! I good from* them without a tank | < heater, and once the water becomes i < frozen your float is ruined, and next j season you are in the market for a I new system of waterworks. While J looking for something to do the work I moro satisfactorily I happened onto J a catalogue and saw a cut of a stock [ fountain. I bought one in 190C, used it that year, and next season or- \ dered two more, and ended the trou- j hie in my case. It is simple and any j one can repair any part of it. except the float, in a few minutes, and can j instantly get at any part of it, and a j little care in winter will insure water j all the time, as well as in summer. i I have one on a barrel and one on 1 a tank, both on sleds, ready to move ? any time or anywhere with a horse. 1 I have a windpump at the corner of { four twenty-acre fields in eighty acres t on my farm, and a cattle tank that I i 4-J^ miif wi\r o/vnvonionpp s C'tlll UllilUge IU SUil Hi J WUTVU.V^w, then a tank six by two by two feet for hogs; on it is attached a fountain so placed that water will run from the puinp into either tank, and it is always ready and clean, as I keep the hog tank covered. Last fall I turned eighty head of spring shoats into a corn field and put my tank in the corner next the pump and sold the hogs the last of November. At no j time did we have any trouble to keep water in readiness further than to turn on or off the windmill. My spring pigs now know the location of the water tack and visit it fuite often, even before weaning I have had as many as ICO hogs and pigs us3 one tank in summer and be well supplied.?S. Martin, in the Indiana Farmer. Silo is Dairy Savings Bank. The advantages of the silo are attracting more and more attention in these times of high priced feed for cows. Of course clo-wer ana aiiana j hay to balance the cow ration with i silage must not be forgotten. But I one of our live stock exchanges puts the silo question strongly in this statement: The silo is the savings bank of the dairy industry. Filled I with corn ensilage, it is a sure source of steady milk production and represents the cheapest efficient feed produced on the farm for dairy hus- i bandry. It assists the dairyman to ! E produce milk, butter and cheap fer- I * tilizers economically. It is more con- ! veniently handled than is dry fodder ! and makes palatable large quantities I of feed that otherwise would be i wasted. With a herd of good cows 1 and a silo the farmer can achieve all j the possibilities of the dairy industry j and by proper management of the droppings of the herd can also an- j nually < increase the fertility of bis r land.?Indiana Farmer. Ducks and Geese. A friend of ours says geese should not be allowed in a young orchard, as Ihey damage the bark on young trees. | Little ducks will not stand as much heat ae chicks. Keep ducklings too warm and some of them will be very likely to develop leg weakness. Don't begrudge the young ducks or goslings what they eat. They grow j faster in proportion to the food thty ! eat than any of our domestic fowls. When a dashing rain comes up i young ducks must be looked after. J Ducklings or goslings will chill and j sometimes die the same as chicks i when they get wet to the skin if not . given proper attention. It is a mistake to allow goslings ! or ducklings to get into the water be- j' fore they are full feathered on their 1 breasts. Water vessels should be arranged | cr\ /I nr.lr 1 in arc mnv rtrink frpelv without ' r getting wet by dabbling in the water. ^ A small trough with a slatted cover makes a good drinking vessel for ducks.?Inland Farmer. j c Hog Pasture. 8 Every spring I sow two or tnree acres of rape and then I have ten acres of alfalfa all fenced hog tight. I turn the hogs on that and then on the rape, and that is all they get to eat during the summer. They do well 011 it, too?as well as the neighbors' boss, which receive some corn and have no pasture to run on. J think every farmer ought to at least have some pasture for his hogs. They do much better on green feed during the summer after being shut up all winter, and they do murli better than when shut up in "'.call yards during the warm months Every man can afford to sow so:.Me rape, even though he tas no alfalfa. Renters sometimes live where there is no alfalfa, and I believe rape is a good thing for thern.?R. L. Scott, in Nebraska Farmer. MODEL Y.

It enables the owner to swing his or her hammock wherever desired, cn rough Dr level ground, to be always sure of shade and to have the hammock at any height from the ground that is convenient. The support consists of fwil 1! ' i pair of standards with an awning ;op. The standards are made wi;h sliding rods and either or both can 3e regulated to any height. If the jround is too uneven the standard on ,he higher part can be shortened or rice versa. The whole affair is constructed with an eye for stability, and vhen set up will bear any weight the lammock cords will hold without jreaking. The canopy top makes it jossible to swing the hammock in >pen spaces, where there is plenty of jreeze, but no other shade.
