Good Portland cement is finely ground and uniform in color; yellow streaks in it denote an nnder-burning. The Band should l>e sharp and not too fine and free from dirt and organic matter. For the best results use dry sand, and if necessary dry it out before using, be­ cause cement when applied to a wet sand takes up the moisture quickly, forming little balls and causing weak­ ness in the finished concrete. Crushed rock is largely used in mak­ ing concrete. The screenings should be separated from the crushed rock before mixing to guard against pockets and irregular proportions, and the cement should be first mixed with the screen­ ings, adding the stone afterward. Wet the stone a few hours before using be­ cause dry stone will take moisture too rapidly for the cement mortar. Gravel makes a good concrete when it is clean and has one part of sand to two parts"*5f rock. The large stone should be discarded or crushed before using. The gravel should be tested so as to know the exact proportions of sand aud rock and used accordingly. The four recognized mixtures of con­ crete, with their respective proportions of cement, sand and crashed rock, and the kinds of construction for which they are suitable are as follows: 1. Rich, 1-2-4, floors, fence posts. 2. Ordinary, l-2f 5, walks, thin walls. 8. Medium, 18-6, heavy walls, piers. 4. Lean, 1-4-8, tooting*, where little strength is needed. In each case the rock is just twice the amonnt of sand. The complete mixing of all the ma- terials is a factor which decides the strength of the concrete. Too much stress cannot be laid npon the thorough mixing of all materials. Measure exact amounts each part.-- FEED R. CRANE, Addressing Illinois Farmers' Institute, reported by Arthur J. Bill.
