The'.flay of the unsightly, ttnsaitfjiirjf mud-hole water tank in the barn lot Is a thing of the.past. American farmers,^who In the.old days struggled against && worst pos sible conditions in the care of their stock, today have available for their service the most, modern methods known to the building trade. A water tank, often considered of old a minor detail In farm equipment, now is recognized, as. an important item in the health of farm stock and farm occupants. Formerly a breeding place for germs, vermin ancl mosquitoes," the site of the unhealthful mud puddle which affected stock both summer .and win ter now can be spotlessly clean, dry and sanitary.".'.'.. Principal Requirement. While the principal requirement of a water tank is.of course that it be watertight, sanitation- and permanence also must? be Iconsidered. _, Concrete: tanks when properly constructed ful fill all of these requirements at a( reasonable first cost, with'practically! no upkeep expense.. Any fantfer can construct a wa'tei tank similar to the one shown in the picture if he follows these, instruc tions. The forms, which should preferably be of one-inch material for a- large:: tank, should be prepared so far as is possible before^ concrete work Is be gun, then excavation is made about one foot below the ground line of an area a little'larger than the prop6sed tank. If the site is not well dralnefl^tt' may be well-to,excavate a little deefe er. A base of cinders- or gravel is thef tamped into place and upon it a befl of concrete about six inches thick of a part and f- ^gsSSh*.. of cement, two. mixture of one parts of sand and four parts of gravel is laid.

A. rich mixtiirfr of concrete, p?^fer-^- ably one part of cement, one and one haff /parts of $and and tliree parts ot\A pebbles or broken stone, is used'for this work, and enough help_and ma terial, should be available so that the entire wall can be constructed In one continuous operation. In"order to make the bottom water tight, the inner forms: should not reach to the concrete bed.first laid,-but a' two-inch gap. should' be left and a layer of concrete equal In thickness to this should be placed so. as to be con tlnuous with the concrete to the walls. Reinforcement Needed. Reinforcing is, of course," necessary and it. is well to have this made shaped and set in the concrete so that the steel extends up into the walls. Bars bent at a right angle should also be placed at the .corners, with straight rods extending, horizontally in the ends and sides of the tank. Tnough not shown in the illustra tion, a concrete pavement five _or six feet wide around the tank Is desirable. It can be cast separately and made not less than, six inches thick of a- 1:2:4 mixture. woraiinitr would we be anyway What a lot of time advertising saves us! We need something.

Weather.reports Issued by the United States Department of Agriculture have been used with notable success by a Wisconsin beejeeeper in the handling of bees In fall- and spring. By keep ing in touch with the-local office of the weather bureau at Milwaukee he learns when weather Is likely to be mild enough for late flights of bees in the fall before they are put into winter quarters and for early release in the spring. Honeybees develop dysentery and other serious disorders if kept in the hive too long in winter. This is due to the fact that they will not void their feces .while In the hive. It is, therefore, Important to shorten the Bee Hives in Good Location. season of housing as much as possible without running Into danger of freez ing weather or high winds which scatter the colonies. It is highly de sirable to give the bees a cleansing flight just before housing. This apiarist has found that he can expect a satisfactory temperature for flying between November 5 and No 20 practically every year. In a recent autumn there was audi tem perature November 17. As the official forecast.was for much colder weather, he Roused his bees November 19. The temperature dropped stendlly. and reached zero December 1. Therimonth of December was the coldest, in 48 years.I(9ther beekeepers, n^ using the fqrgcflsts, left their becs^jiit until about ,y^e, inlddle of Ijfec^nber, with resultiu&jdaiaage."

Many farmers have found the bien nial white sweet clover an excellent pasture plant to use in rotation. Some have successfully used a rotation of corn, oats and sweet clover. The sweet clover planted with the oats, lives over the winter after oat harvest and conies on the next season. Where it is successfully established, it is found that an acre will pasture a cow for a whole season in a good sweet clover section, and furnish her an abundance of feed. In this plan the essentials for success with sweet clover are to lime the land enough to grow red clover Well, plant 20 pounds of scarified sweeffclover seed to the acre and In oculate where neither sweet clover nor alfalfa iias been grown previously. Permanent pasture In some sections may be Improved by this treatment that Is, by limiting the permanent pasture and placing the pasture In the rotation, as suggested by the farm ers who have tried this plan. EXHIBITS OF CLUB MEMBERS Various Products Which Boys, and Girls Grew or Prepared Displayed at Many Fairs. Pigs, poultry, potatoes, bread, canned vegetables and meats, and other products which boys and glrjs enrolled in extension clubs grew or prepared following demonstrations by county extension workers were shown in 4,300 exhibits at community fairs and 6,000 exhibits at county, districts and state fairs last year, according to reports to the United States De partment of Agriculture. INJURY BY JAPANESE BEETLg Foliage of Many Fruit and Shadt Trees Damaged by Immense Number of Insects. The Japanese beetle was much more abundant during the present season, and over a wider area. Serious dam age to the foliage of many trees wes caused by the immense number of bee tles, especially fruit trees nnd certain varieties of shade trees, according to the United States Department of Agri culture. There was important injury to early fruit, particuarly early apples and early peaches.
