( : How to Make the Tank. The tank itself is. usually con- structed of pine or spruce plank, tonr- gucd and grooved, well held together by iron rods and the inside lined with Al quality galvanized iron. A tight top should be used in order to keep dust and dirt out of it. On one side near the top there should be installed an overflow pipe leading to tie outside or to a sink or some fix- ture below, preferably in the kitchen, so that the one who is pumping may know by flow from pipe when the ank is full. The tank should be large enough to hold at least three or four barrels of water. In some houses it is possible to arrange for running part of the rain water from the roof into this tank, in which case considerable pumping is elim- inated.. The tank should be located preferably over a partition so that the weight of water would not cause a sag in the fioor of the attic. A tight metal tank about five feet long and two feet in diameter strapped to tne ceiling 'above the bathroom might be used instead of the woodem one in the attic. , The Filling of the Tank. SG ve Rall eB) Y ivchinare and: Forniiore Chon As stated, the tank is usually filled by a hand pump located in the kitch- en or cellar, The pump used for ' this purpose must be a force-pump in order to lift the water to the required level. If electricity or small gas engine were available eithep * might be used to pump up the water. ; Sometimes the tank is filled by wind- Senin mill and sometimes by an hydraulie ram operating at the spring a con- siderable distance from the house.

Stevenson, .secre- tary Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. Currants and Gooseberries. If a currant or gooseberry planta- tion is properly cared for, at least eight to ten crops may be expected before it becomes unprofitable be- cause of its age. Productive fields over twenty years old "are not un- common in some sections. Although the number of years a plantation will eontinue in good bearing con- dition depends to some extent upon location and soil, the most import- ant facter -is the care which it re- ceives. The period of productiveness of both currant and gooseberry plants is longer in .northern regions than toward the southern limits of their culture and longer on heavy ~moil than on sandy soil. : i In gardens where the available i land is limited in extent, currants and gooseberries may well be plant- ed among the tree fruits and left there permanently. The shade of the trees protects the fruits from sun scald, and the foliage is usually healthier in such locations. than when grown where it is freely ex- Posed to the sun. ~ A place with good air drainage is preferred for gooseberries. In low, damp places mildew attacks both fruit and foliage more severely than on higher sites where the air ecireu- lation is better. Currants, however, are seldom severely attacked by mil- dew. Therefore, when the site 13 a : sloping one, currants may be planted on the lower parts and gooseberries above. As both fruits blossom very early in the spring, neither should be planted in low pockets where late spring frosts may kill the flowers. Grooseberries ordinarily are propa- gated by mound layers. The plant from whieh layers are to be procured : should be cut back heavily before it : begins to grow in the spring. By July it will have sent out numerous vigorous shoots. It should then be mounded with earth half way to the tips of the shoots. By autumn the ghoots will have rooted. Those: with strong roots may. then be cut off and get in the nursery, to be grown for ene or two years before planting in the fleld.
