HOW TO MIX CONCRETE
FOR USE ON FARM
Raleigh N. C., August XI?"When
K> we give specifications for concrete
work on the farm we always assume
that gravel can be obtained at home.
? By gravel we mean small pebbles betwee
a 1-4 to 2 1-2 indies in diameter,
IV siaa to be determined by the work
for which it is intended. The smaller
or pebbles that will go through
1-4 mesh screen are considered as
sand. A good clean coarse sand is
much better than very fine sand for
average concrete work," says E. R.
Raaey. Farm gngineer for the State
Ooliege Ehttensjnn Division.
The usual mixtures recommended
by Mr. Raney are 1:2:4 for water-tight

A THREE-WORD SPEECH.
FARMER'S DAY.
CREAM FOR RAILROADS.
WALL STREETS TRINITY.
John W. Davis means to hold the
short speech record, a wise, almost
pious resolution. He will "accept"
hi* nomination in onlv four thou
sand words of talk. ^
Great moderation and sejjjcsjjitrol,
you say. Yet in thirty-one
verses of the first and two verses
of the seeond chapters of Genesis
the Bible describes the creation of
earth and everything on it. And
the whole thing, including the rest
on the seventh day, is told in about
ONE thousand words.
' For brevity and beauty, candidates,
editors, and especially advertisement
writers should study
the Bible, especially Genesis, Job,
Isaiah, and the Sermon on the
Mount. Any Presidential candidate
might make' an acceptance speech
pleasing to 99 in 100 in three words,
as follows: ' MEN ABOVE DOLLARS."
Salesmen are pouring into the
Northwest farming districts to sell
goods that stores will soon bo selling,
thanks to high prices for
wheat.
. Stocks are going up, especially
railroad stocks. That has importance
for everybody. It means that
intelligent observers see good
times ahead.
Railroads seem to be the "lambs"
of our Government, and it remembers
the injunction "Feed my
lambs."
Recently, when the farmer was
practically bankrupt, dozens of
banks in the Northwest closing
their rjoqrs, etc.^it was suggested
that railroads might reduce freight
rates, at least on farm products.
But wife wheat going up, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
says the value of farm crops will

work which means 1 part -cement, 1
sand, and4 gravel. Where it is not
possible to get good clean sand it is
best to use a 1:1 1-2:3 for this work.;
In all foundation work and heavy walls I
such aa barn and silo foundations and
' basement walls, a 1:3:5 mixture can
be used.
"Where it is not possible to get the
gravel desired, large stones or brick
may be broken up for this purpose"
. says Mr. Haney "or the large stones
may be used by working as many of
i them as possible into the foundation.
I This is done by mixing the cement
i and sand in the proporation shown
|(1 to 3) and poured this Into the
; forms, alternating a layer of mortar
| and then a layer of stone and keep,
ing the stone weel tamped. In this
!way it is possible to reduce the amount
of cement necessary and at the
same time have a stronger foundation."
Mr-Raney states that it is best
not to use stone the diameter of
which Is more thn one-third hte tich
ness of the wall. Brick should always
be wet before working then into the
concrete, as they will damage it by
drying out the water too fast.
Bank run gravel is very often used.
This is a mixture of sand and gravel
as it comes from the gravel pit, or
other place. This should be screened
always through a 1-4 inch mesh screen
and then remixed in the proper-proportion
aa it is rarely ever found in
the desired proportion and even at best
it would not be uniform.
A great deal'.^ trouble has-Cher
experienced in dsftvg concrete work
in some sections of western North
Carolina especially by those not familiar
with conditions, due to tha finely
ground mica dust which is present
in the sand. The only way to over;
come this where clean sand cannot
be obtained is to substitute a richer
mixture.
I
increase a thousand million dollars
thla year, therefore, NO reduction
in freight rates.
The cream, off the top, must go
to the railroads.
Suppose tha farmers, for a
change, are getting a decent price
for their crops. The question involved
is: Are the railroads charging
too much? not what is the
farm making.
Great and fashionable Trinity

at the top of Wall Street, publishes
this report:

You note, "Carried' to renewal

The young man (see Matthew,
19th Chapter) that "went away
sorrowful after being told, "Sell
that thou hast and $'ve to the
poor," probably sits in Triinty's
congregation, it there-is anything
in the'reincarnation thJory,
Think of one Episcopalian church
keeping on hand thirteen millions
of undivided assets, while scores
of the Episcopalian clergy, miserably
underpaid, struggle to make
ends meet.
The world hears with amazement
of two French fliers setting a
new "duration mark," staying up
37 hours 59 minutes 10 seconds.'
Put this clipping away for your
great-grandchildren. They will see
a round a world machine, coming
down perhaps once a year for complete
overhauling, landing passengers
from smaller machines above
Paris, London, Yokohama, Bombay,
New York. "All out." And the
trip all the way around will be
made in twenty-four hours?only
1,000 miles an hour.
There NEVER comes a time
when a human being is of "no use
to the world."
-The Greek philosopher, ninety,
years- old, that killed himself because
he stumbled on leaving his
class, made a mistake. He should
have said; "I may stumble, but 1
shall go on teaching."
Every one can be valuable to the
world by setting an example of
courage and endurance.
The other day in New York aj
young woman lay in a hospital
with both her legs amputated. That
was the price she paid for giving!
birth to a child. SHE might have

"I am delighted to lose both my

That's worth a good deal to the
world.
