The day of the unsightly, unsanitary mud-hole water. tank in the barn lot is a thing of the past.. American _farmers; who In the old days struggled against the 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 {n farm equipment, now is recognized as an important item In the health of farm stock and farm occupants.

Principal R.qulrom‘ent. While the principal requirement of a water tank is. of course that it be ‘watertight, sanitn]on and permanence also must be ‘considered. Concréte tanks when properly: constmcted m- fill all of these requirements _at a' reasonable first cost, with: pmcucnlly, no upkeep expense. Any farmer can- construct a water tank similar.to the one shown in thel picture it he follows. these. Instmc- tions. The forms, which should prelmbly be of one-inch material for a large tank, should be prepared so far as i§ possible before concrete work: is be- gun, then excavation is made about one foot below the ground-line of am’ area a little larger than the proposed | tank.

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. ° Though 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.

The Mextcan version of “have you a little fairy in yeur home” is “have you a little fish in your home?" This arises from the use of a pecu- itar fish, of the mammalian specles, that eats the mosquitoes and “wlg: glers” in water, thus preventing the spread of yellow fever. All bodies of water in'the city are stocked with tae fish. which are provided by heaith sw thorities. In this way the mosquitoes are kept down, and yellow fever al- most eradicated. invests [ comes on the next season. REPORTS ON-WEATHER HELPFUL WITH BEES Notable - Success Achieved by v Wisconsin Beekeeper.

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 rclease in the spring. Honeybees develop dysentery and other serlous 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.

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 Where it is successfully established, it is found that an acre will pasture a cow for 2 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 sweef clover seed ‘to the acre and in- oculate where nelther sweet clover nor alfalfa has been grown previously. Permanent pasture in some sections may be Improved by this treatment— that 1s, by limiting the permanent pasture and - placing the pasture in the rotation, as suggested by the farm- ers who have tried this plan.
