The growing scarcity of lumber and its consequent rise in price, has gradually caused that commodity to assume the general aspect of a lux- ury. So much lumber is used on the farm for buildings and fences that its extremely high price has made it al- most prohibitive to the average tarm- er unless he has an extra large sum of money to spend on outlay. Wire fencing partially solved the problem, but real relief did not come until con- crete was proven by actual tests to be not only practic- able, but to possess many advantages over wood as a building material. The uses to which concrete can be put a r e practically without limit, more particularly on the farm. Already the list includes forms of construction ranging from the large hip-roofed barn down to a. nest-egg that de- ceives the wisest old layer in the brood. These uses have -been ex- tended largely, by a series of exten- sive experiments conducted under I the auspices of the Canada Cement Company, on farms throughout the country. This large concern, which has fathered the con- crete building process in Canada, has been a large factor in the spreading of knowledge of concrete and its uses. Recently it has distributed 65,000 copies of a book entitled “W’hat the Farmer Can Do 'With Concrete." This work contains information which makes it possible for any. farmer to do almost any kind of construction work around a farm with concrete. and is given free of charge. This generous distribution of literature and the ef- {orts of this firm to show the farmer how practical concrete really is, have earned {or them the highest of com- mendat-ions. The most recent plan to introduce concrete to the farmer is a contest arranged by the Canada Cement Com- pany. The lines along which the con- test is planned are broad enough to enable every farmer to compete with equal chance of success with the most experienced user of concrete. In each Province there are four cash prizes of equal value offered, each prize $100. The first is to be given to the farmer in each Province who will use the greatest number of barrels of “Can- ada” cement in a given time on his farm; another prize will be given to the farmer in each Province who uses “Canada” Cement on his farm in 1911 for the greatest number of purposes; the third is to be given to the farmer in each Province who furnishes a. photograph showing the best of any particular kind of work Macfarlane Go.

This contest will be open until November 15th, 1911. Already much has been accom- plished on the farm by the use of concrete. Perhaps the greatest ar- gument in its favor, and one which has developed only since concrete has actually been put into general use, is its health-promoting properties. If sickness occurs in a city to any great extent, a searching investigation usually follows, conducted by a med- ical health officer, with the- result that it is traced back to its cause and this cause removed. ical health officer. He mus: look to the causes to be found on his own farm. A great deal is now being done along these lines, and in many places, particularly in the West, it has been found that a number of the causes or sickness can be avoided by the use of concrete. A common sense view of the situ- ation shows that tl-is simply-handled material is peculiarly well adapted to measures of sanitation and in prevent- ing germs from spreading. Possibly the place visited more of- ten than any other by the farmer is his well. If it is so situated that un- heal-thful ground streams can leak into the drinking water, there is every possibility of this unhealthfulness be- ing communicated to the farmer and his family by the most direct route. Concrete has done much to remedy this. If a. well is built of concreteâ€"a solid cylinder set into the groundâ€"it is impossible for such leakage to oc- cur. In the same way a concrete dairy provides but slim accommoda- tion for disease germs. These two simple precautions are a long stride in the direction of good health, as water and milk, the latter even more than the former, are the commonest of the germ-distributing agencies and both are used frequently by the farmer and his family. Not only has the modern farmer studied out a method of guarding against sickness from sources which might, in the case of water and milk, be termed, internal. He has gone a step further and has decided that the barnyard must also be subjected to some changes if doctors' pills and doc- tors’ bills are to be dodged. Farm barns, icehouses, and all buildings and locations which give off rapid evaporation are special marks for lightning. Moisture is one of the very best conductors of electricity. The evaporation from a barn has both moisture and heat and rarities and charges the atmos- phere as it ascends. thus prepar- Iphere, thus preparing a channel for lightning, which following this course‘ comes straight at the farm- er’s barn. In such a case the presence of proper conductors might and unduobtedly would save the building from destruc- tion. The material for prOperly rodding a farm building may be purchased at from $5 to $15, de- pending upon the size of the building, and with the assistance of his help the farmer can install it himself in a single day‘ so there seems to be no good reason for allowing farm‘ buildings to remain umprotected. The average barnyardâ€"there are many worse, some betterâ€"consists of a stack of hay or straw, a manure pile, a watering trough, and a spongy, oozY mass of mud, dirt. and filth, in be- tween and all around. Most farmeu will recognize this type as being fa- miliar, even those whose farms are models in other respects. Until re- r~on+lv it has seemed almost impos- The farmer must be his own med- silble to avoid this objectionable condi- tion in a barnyard. Owing to the stamping of cattle and the rooting and scratching of the smaller stock, the ground seems to be kept constantly worked up into its oozy state.c Into this, and through it, the farmer is compelled to make his way several times a day while doing his chores. Despite his best efforts, a certain amount remains upon his shoes and clothing. If he escapes the germs that are sure to exist in the stagnant wal- low, and does not catch a cold from wetting his feet in it, he always runs the risk of carrying some small par- ticles into the house on his shoes, where they dry into fine dust and are stirred up by the next sweeping, filling the atmosphere that has to be breathed. which ls set a. con- crete drinking pool. This servesa double purpose of not only providing cleaner water for the horses and cattle. but also does not harbor the germs of contagious dis- eases whlch so often lurk in old wooden drinking troughs.

His small stock and poultry, instead of rooting in the mud and filth for their food. take fit from a concrete feeding floor laid in a convenient spot in the barnyard. This may be swept down or washed off and prevents a waste of feed. . The use of concrete as drainage ma.- terial and in forming gutters under eaves makes it possible for farmers' wives and daughters to visit the barns without danger of contracting colds and without many other unpleasant- messes.

Aside from its advantages as a germ-proof material, concrete finds favor with the farmer of to-day be- cause he can use it himself as easily as he could use wood. All that is re- quired is a quantity of broken stone, samd, and Portland cement. The moulds are easily constructed and can be made of odd pieces of lumber handy. With the exception of the cement, the materials can be found on almost any farm and should cost little or nothing. To avoid this altogether would be impossiblé, but the farmer has found a. way in which much can be done to al- S: l-eviate the barn- }//} yard troubles. SOLID CONCRETE CISTERN. Instead of wad- ing through mud, the farmer and his family walk dry- shod to the barns and amongst the buildings on con- crete walks and drive-ways.
