Concrete Water Trough fr Two Fields.
Concrete is the cheapest material
with which an everlasting watering
trough can be made, and a large
ridge placed in the bottom will, in the
northern climates, prevent injury to
the trough from freezing when filled
with water. This frost-proof ridge
need not be as long as the interor of
the trough by several inches at each
end and in localities below the frost
line need not be used.
The size of the trough is a matter
of choice, buc the entire trough must
have a foundation of gravel or stone
to a depth below the Trost line, after
which the wood form is placed for the
outside, and the bottom filled to a
depth of four or six inches with con
crete. 1-arge troughs require a six
inch bottom, while for troughs less
than h-ven feet long a four-inch bot
tom ta sufficient.
The overflow and supply pipes
rhould be Dla'ced before the concrete
is put in and when they are connect
ed underground, says Modern Parmer
in describing the building of cement
troughs. After the bottom is complet
ed place the form for the . ridge and
fill. Then place the inside .trough
form and fill with concrete made up
of one part Portland cement,- three
parts sand and three parts aggregates.
The placing of an iron rod, two in
ches below the top, adds much more
strength and at little expense. Keep
wet for two days and then all but the
outside form should be removed and
the interior slushed with cement and
water, -mixed to the consistency of
thick paint Apply with whitewash
brush This will make itnearly water-tight,
at least more so than a stone
trough The outside form should not
be removed for four weeks, but the
trough may be used a few days after
the interior has been slushed as
above ' ..

Do you know there's a lot of people
Sitting round in every town,
Gowin like a broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind of cattle,
'Cause they aint no use on earthy
You just be a booster ooster,
Grow and boost for all you're worth.
If your town needs boosting',
boost'er,
Don't hold back, and wait to see
If some ether feller's willing-
Sail right in, this country's free;
No one-s got a mortgage on it,
.It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is short on boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz. ,
If things don't just seem to suit you,
An' the world seem kinder wrong
. "What's the matter with a boostin',
Just to help the thing along?;
'Cause if things should stop a going'
We'd be in a sorry plight;
You just keep that horn a-blowin',
Boost'er with all your might.
A
If you see some fellow trying
For to make some project go,
You can boost it up a trifle,
That's your cu to let him know
That you're not agoin' to knock it
Just because it ain't your 'shout, '
'But you're goin' to boast a little,
'Cause he's got "the best thing
out." .
If vou know some feller's failing,
Just forget 'em, 'cause you know
That same feller's-get some good
points.
Them's the ones you want to show ;
' 'Cast yourloaves out on the waters,
They"ll come back,' 's a sayifi'
true; -
Mebbe they will come back "but
tered." :
When some feller boosts for you. '
We need more booster roosters,
Like these manufacturing men
Who; instead of merely gassing;
Always boost with word and pen ;
Spread the gospel far and wide,
Make all you meet, "fall in,"
Our cause is right, "bur methods
fair, . - - ' ' -
Now, all together. For. Oxford-
we'll win. , ;
