You Should Know About This Difference-It Will Save You The chief difference li In the fineness to which they are ground) The finest ground cement is the beet because it is strongest will make most concrete, Fineness is determined by putting the cement through a screen with 200 meshes to the lineal inch.

Unless cement will go through this screen it is no better than sand. 75 of Standard Ground Cement will fo through this screen. Ask Grove uperfine ia ground finer, so 10 more of it is the best cement So you get 10 more 88 lbs. to the barrel more of the best cement when you buy or "dry For thix rfiiwm und ttlmvbwimHp no jmlntlttK or repairing In ever mwmtry, solid-wall concivte kIIoh are t'omlntf into jfenerol uwe. SELECTING SIZE OF THE SIT) Tltf bpnt hIIom ore built circular In Nhnpe, "Tlio depends upon how many animals are to be tod the quantity In pounds for each' animal's daily feed, and the number of days it may bo necessary to feed them.

The silo should be of such size that a layer of silage at least 2 inches in depth will bo removed each day after feeding has begun. This prevents a thin top layer from moulding. A dairy cow requires about 40 pounds of silage per day, and the following table is based on this amount. Forty pounds is also the average weight of a cubic foot of silage. It is frequently advisable to cut down the average daily ration or to use silage together with other feeds.

Witiahis thought in mind, and especially for dry weather feeding in summer many farmers lind it best to build two silos of moderate, size instead of one large structure. Ash Grove, Portland Cement Uncle Sam's engineers and other eminent authorities have decreed that 10 increase in fineness gives a 30 increaaa in strength (under ideal conditions). Under ordinary conditions Ash Grova Suparfine is guaranteed to be 20 stronger than any Standard Ground Cement So keep this difference in mind Save 20. If you want to learn more about it write to the Ash Grove Lime Portland Cement Kansas City, for free booklets giving full details. Or ask us.

Silage ami Concrete Silos he principal source of profit dairying, stock-raising, and farming lies in improving the quality and 'dt 'the same time keep down the cost of production. In this matter of profit and loss nothing plays such an important part as the question of feeds and feeding. The natural feed for animals, the one on which they do best, is green pasture.

In climates subjects frost, man has made the same provision for animals as for himself by providing them in winter with canned green fodder called "silage." Silage is made most commonly from corn," cow peas, clover, sorghum, alfalfa, merely chopped fine and stored large water-tight cans known "silos." i In dry weather or winter, when green pasture cannot be had, this feed is equally good in producing a flow milk or in putting fat on animals. One acre of a crop harvested as silage will feed twice as much stock as the same amount harvested in any other manner. Like a glass fruit jar, a silo must be water tight and jointless keep the silage from moulding 1 SIV CHANUTE KAN3M I a ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.

LOCATION AND FOUNDA- TION Locate the silo where it will be convenient for feeding. Usually it is joined to the barn by means of a chute and passageway with doors.

Since the silo and its contents are heavy, it must be built on solid ground. The bottom of the foundation should go below frost line. The silo may, with advantage, extend 4 to 5 feet into the ground. Dig the pit large enough to allow for the thickness of the circular walls and a footing 2 feet wide. MAKING THE FORMS In order to save lumber the concrete is poured into forms which can be moved up as the conorete sets or becomes hard.

These movable forms consist of two circular 3 to 4 feet high, so made that one fits within the other with space between for a 6-inch wall. The horizontal framework consists of 2 by 4-inch timbers cut to a circle, which are covered with sheet metal or wooden lagging- Each piece must be long enough to provide for a 6-foot 3-inch length circumference of the circle as well as several inches for the lap or strap joints. The forms are raised by loosening them at the joints and setting them up again on the finished section of the silo. MIXING AND PLACING THE CONCRETE. Concrete for silos should be rich in Portland cement and should be put into the forms mushy wet.

Mix it 1 part cement to 2 parts sand to 4 parts crushed rock. Four parts of clean pit or bank- run gravel may be used instead of the sand and rock. Measure all materials on the basis that 1 bag of cement equals 1 cubic foot. Many persons raise theconcrete inbuckets, but the work can be done more quickly and easily by using a horse together with a derrick or a well braced jib-boom fixed to an adjoining building.

DEXTER Atfant Friic Lint. Fulton nmt-i VIA up, the reinforcement "phwed, and the walls begun. These forms were 4 feet hltfh and were made in eight sections (5 feetU Inches long. Since silage contains so much water, steel rods are necessary as reinforcement to withstand the pressure. To get the best results, this reinforcing should be placed exactly 112 Inches from the outside wall.

Rods H-inch in diameter and 10 feet long were long were used. The veritieul rods were spaced Hn-dies apart. The horizontal rods were carefully made into solid hoopH by bending the, ends so as to hook together. They were also wired to the vertical rods. Two extra lengths were placed in the concrete 1 12 inches above the door openings for removing the silage.

These openings were made by removing the silage. These openings were made by a removable form also cut to the circle,) which fitted snngly between the mold for the silo wall. The silo forms were filled with concrete and allowed to stand over night. The next morning they were loosened, raised and again filled. These operations were repeated daily until the side walls were finished.

With a 4-inch concrete roof, the silo is entirely fire- and repair-proof. The roof was built on a temporary wooden roof, which was entirely removed after three weeks. The concrete is cone-shaped with a rise in the center of 2 feet and a drip or overhang of 1 foot. One inch fiom the under side? this roof is reinforced with 3 8-inch rods ft a U2'-( laid like the spoks of a wheel and spaced 18 inches at the rim. Every other rod reaches only halfway to the 1 peak of the roof.

To hold the spokes in position so that the concrete could be forced between them and the temporary wooden roof, one ring of 3 8-inch rods was wired to this reinforcing just over the side walls and another half-way to the peak. These rods strengthen the roof greatly and must not be left out. Water-soaked weather boards were used to form the circular edge of the joof. An opening for the blower tubefrom the cutter was formed in the silo roof in the same manner as the doors in the side walls. The list of materials required for this silo is given below.

The silo was built by five farm laborers in thirteen days. As a raise was made each day, the four extra days were spent in framing the forms, digging the pit and building the roof. Crushed rock, or screened gravel 40 cu. yds. Band cu.

The time is now at hand when farmers, like railroads and corporations, are considering the lasting qualities of buildings. Concrete silos need no insurance: They do not blow down or burn up.

They never have to be painted or repaired. With other kinds of silos during their short lives, these expenses alone equal the first cost. Concrete lats forever. Glendale school commenced Monday Sept. 11th with Miss Amey Hinton as teacher.
