Proportions for Concrete For large vut:'uu enng works elabo rate and rigid specifications for con crete arc prepared and an expert Stands by to see that everything is tlone just accordm..- to specifications, ( imt for our purpose -we may say that 'or very nice snV;- th 'work ' use a jnixture, measured, ' f 1 cement, 2 sand, 4 gravel or broken stone but this is very rich in cement and inert -fore costs more than would be jus tifiable in some cas-s. For any or dinary case use: 1 cement to 7 sandy gravel or 2 cement, 5 sand. 15 "broken stone. In any case the mixer can tell if bis proportions are right; the re quirement being that the sand and cement (mortar) fill all the pockets between the stone when all have been rammed, shaken or spaded down to the greatest possible density. If it seems too lean put in a little greater portion of sand and cement. If un necessarily rich put in a larger por tion of stone. When the right mix is found, stick to it. The amount of water to use de pends on the dryness of the sand and stone the rule fcr our purposes is: the mixed concrete, when picked up on a shovel, will almost but not quite run off, or drip, while held still. When put in place and rammed or spaded a little water (or wet mortar) should work to the top. Mixing The mixing and placing of concrete is as necessary to success as ar.y oth er part of the specification. It is here that carelessness, indifference, or laziness can spoil the work. Do not try to mix concrete in a box as a mason dues his mortar. If much work is to be done make a plank floor or platform, level on the ground without upright sides of any kind, about ten feet square. Have no projecting nails or splinters. This . will ba convenient for about half a cubic yard in a batch, taking twto sacks of cement. Spread the sand (or gravel and sand) over the floor about four inches thick, ' and on this place the cement. Then, mix thoroughly, dry, by running the shov el under the mass along the floor and throwing out clear of the unmixed lot. When all , has been turned the center of the floor will be empty. 'Then shovel back in the same man ner. Now spread again and put on he water gradually, taking care not to let it run off and carry the ce ment with it. Mix again about as before and if it is gravel, the mix ing is complete. If it is a sand and stone mixture the stone is added (wet) after the sand and cement are mixed into a :mortar. The gravel mixture will be handled about four - times and the sand and stone mixture about six times while mixing. While the labor is severe, any extra handling in the mixing is well spent. The mixture must be uniform before stopping to put in place. When the proper amount of water is found it should be measured for each batch as reg ularly as the other ingredients. The sack of cement is a convenient unit to work from and it may for our purpose be taken as equivalent to one cubic foot. With a cubic foot box and a few trials the operator should know how many shovels full of gravel should go to a sack of cement or how many wheel-barrows full. Instead of the plank platform for mixing, the work may be done on a .smooth hard ground surface, such as a smooth hard yard without grass or projecting rocks. The little dirt that Mill get into the mix will do no in jury for ordinary purposes. Tn large contracts the cement is tested before being' accepted for use The private operator cannot do this but he should reject sacks that have large hard Jumps, and he should not i.-.. i .. w iu Keep cement more, tnan six months and then it must be in a perfectly dry place. . " Placing Concrete , After the concrete is mixed it should not be allowed to stand more than half an hour before being put in its final place. In placing bear in mind what you want, that is, a smooth, solid, uniform mass, and to get this some reliable man should work it over with a iong-handled spade (or hoe with the neck straightened out) seeing, that the large pieces do not separate out and and roll all to pne place and work the spade down ; gainst the sides of the forms so as to work the mortar out against the forms. This will give a smooth outside when the planks arc removed. Jf there is much important con crete w rk to be done, as the base ment of a residence or the like, it would be well to get an experienced man from some nearby town to act as foreman. Nevertheless, the owner should, know all that has been stated herein. He may thereby be saved from imposition by imposters. Remember that since concrete is (presumably) to be everlasting it is worth while to do it well. Do not, to save a few dollars, al low the work to be an eye-sore and a mortification for a lifetime, but rather make it a source of pride and satisfaction forever. . JUST ABOUT THE FARM (Continued from page .one) crusts of the patches on the skin and wash with soap and, water. Then ap ply tincture of idoine once a. day. Carefully whitewash and disinfect the barns, as this disease is contagious and easily transmitted from one ani mal to another. " Good sanitation in the poultry flock increases the number of fertile eggs produced during the breeding season. The fowls should be fed liberally on wholesome feed and should be kept in houses that are dry and well venti lated. It is especially important not to overcrowd the houses and to keep the litter clean, and dry in the breed ing season. "Shall I go into dairy . farming?" is a question many persons are asking themselves nowadays. "Dairy. Farm ing for Beginners," a recent publica tion of the U. S. Department of Ag riculture, discusses the pros and cons of this question. This . publication can be obtained by writing to the Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for Farmers' Builletin 1610-F. ' Hogs treated simultaneously with virus and serum for hog cholera need special care for at least two weeks after inoculation. Restrict the grain ration to not more than two-thirds of the usual quantity for this period. It is net advisable to feed corn. Shorts, middlings, bran, ground or soaked oats, crushed rye, barley, kafir, tank age, skim milk, and buttermilk are suitable feeds. At the end of two weeks, if the hogs are doing well, their diet may include some corn and this may be increased gradually to full feed. A plentiful supply of clean drinking water should be accessibleat all times. If necessary to keep the hogs confined, the pens should be light, airy, dry; clean, and well, bed ded. Feed troughs' should be Icept clean, preferably by scrubbing and scalding with hot water. A common mistake in tobacco cul ture is sowing the seedbed too thick. Thick seeding causes crowded plants with undeveloped root systems and lack of resistance. A covered seed bed is a good medium for develop ment cf , diseases, especially wildfire, mosaic, root rot,, and damping-off. The best method of seeding tobacco, says the U. S. Department of Agri culture; is to reduce the average-' am Mint, "of seed sown by half, or by two-thirds if it has. been recleaned. If thoroughly, recleaned, one ounce of se?d. contains about 300,000 viable seeds.' Thus, seeding at the rate of one ounce to 700 square feet of bed will give a stand of not more than 3 seedlings to. the square inch. This rate of seeding affords plenty of space fcr the development of vigorous plants with healthy root systems. Thinning seedlings by hand is a slow and laborious task ; and removing ex cess seedlings by raking injures the tender leaves. ; BELIEFS OF BAPTISTS (Continued from page, three) paper on . baptism. Among other things he said : "Dr. MacArthur has given his reasons for being a Bap tist.. Those are mine in common with all Baptists. They were presented with such ability that I do not need to repeat them. One reason, drawn from the history pf baptism before the' time of Christ, ought to be add ed. It is this: Baptismal regenera tion is of pagan origin. Water wor ship was prominent' in ancient pagan ism.. A great truth lay under this mass of pagan rubbish. When Christ came He revealed that truth by His example and His teachings." The Dr. R. S. MacArthur ' referred to above by Dr. Lewis was at that time pastor of Calvary Baptist church, Nw York. Dr. MacArthur has done so much better than I could do that I think it bett to quote him literally. He says: "A Christian should, of course, be baptized, as a soldier should put on a uniform, but it is not putting on a uniform which makes a man a soldier, so it is not baptism that makes a man a Chris tian. The man puts "on his uniform because he is already a soldier; and so a man should be baptized when he becomes a Christian.. . .Till a recent date the idea that baptism will not make one a Christian was distinctively a Baptist doctrine; in the middle ages all but Baptists held the doctrine of baptismal regeneration.. . .When certain Pharisees asked John the Baptist to baptize them, he told them they must first bring forth fruits meet for repentance ; that baptizing them would not make them holy men.... Another statement of the Baptist principle is this : Baptism is not ne cessary to salvation. The assertion sometimes made that Baptists hold that no man can be saved unless he is baptized, is .the falsest, absurdest. most-idiotic declaration that ever was made in eccesiastical controversy. It is difficult to speak with courtesy of such ignorance and malice."- Space will not permit more, but this should be enough. I will add, however, that if you wish to stir up the feelings of ah educated Baptist all you have to do .is to accuse him of believing that baptism is necessary to salvation. Dr. MacArthur was a scholarly man, but he was caught napping when he wrote "John the Baptist." There is not authority for using the bap tist in this connection. It should be John the Baptizer. There were no Baptists in those days. The church was not founded till after the cruci fixion, and John was beheaded before that time. John founded no church. He was preparing the people for the long promised messiah.init he did not know who the messiah was to be. When he was in prison he heard of the works' of Jesur and sent two of his disciples to interview Jesus, and they said unto him, 'Art thou he that should come, or do we look for an other?" v Of John, Jesus said: ."Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptizer ; not withstanding, he that is the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." No, John .the' Baptizer did not start the Baptist sect. He had nothing to do with the organiza tion of the church of Christ. As Dr. Lewis stated, baptism was of pagan origin. The Jews made proselytes of alt the nations and when a foreigner was converted to Judiasm he was initiated by baptism, puri fied by water. Baptism is a symbol of purification. It is a beautiful rite that was practised in all eastern coun tries centuries before Christ's time. Christ himself wa's baptized, not be cause it was essential for him. He was circumcised, not because it was essential for him. He was crucified, not because it was essential for him. He did these things for us. We could do all these things and still not be followers of Christ. If you wish to know what it takes to be a true Christian read the Sermon on the Mount. If .you wish to be a Christian, live up to his teachings, and take up your cross and follow him. If you think baptism will "help' you, be baptized, t It is a beautiful symbolic rite, and you have the choice of several methods, all beautiful' and impressive, but do not mistake the symbol for the thing it symbolizes.
