When outside temperattnes are be- low 40 dog. le., it is advisable to heat sand, pebblee and mixing water.

It as a good plan to have sepaeate :furnaces for heating sand and pebbles, othenviee the two are likely to get mixed together, re- mit -lug in inaccurately proportioned centerete. Sand and pebbles should be raked over frequently so that the ma- terials will be heated unfannly.

Manure must never be placed directly cg the new concrete, but early bee used provided a layer of waterproof paper is -first laid ever the concrete. Protection should be con - tinned when pecnible four or five days. Perms must not be removed too soon. Concrete should be examined first to ascertain whether 11 b,as ac- quired the pease degree of hardness. This can bo secomplished; by pouring hot water on the concrete or heating it in some ether way. If frozen, hot water will thaw the ice in It. The general opinion is that freez- ing will not injure eonerete that hoe had an opportunity to harden for at least forty-eight hems under favee- able &editions. If, before early hard- ening bets taken place, concrete is allowed to freeze and; thew ate short intervals, it will be damaged. As a rule concrete may nut show tiny seri- ous effects from having been frozen once, if, aater it thaws out, it is not again frosen, until early hardening is complete, It is desirable to haul sand and peb- bles early in the feel and store them in a place Where they are not aikely to freeze. A bin in the barn OT granary would be suitable for the purpose, Enceleior pads for egg crates are made by taking sheets of excelsioe about a helf-inch thick and vvrapping in thin paper, which holds the' excel- sior it place.

A good laying maid will have the cruniage end appearance of vigor that go with egg production. The pullets should, be well grown, with fairly long back, we:a-rounded breast, with, good depth of body from the meddle of the back to the centreof the keel bone.

While the best fire protection on the farm will always be prevention, such as perfeet chimneys, care in threshing time, secure stoves, stove- pipes that fit tightly into the chim- neys and are protected by metal col- lars, safety in handling matches, the use of only perfect oil stoves and lumps, still there is much to be done in case fire actuully occurs. Careless autoesta in su.nenee are apt to throw lighted/ cigars anct match- es by the roadside, railroad fires will start Etnd sweep over fields .and for - eats, and accidents will happen in epite of all precaution. So it is well to know simple rules for protection and try to keep cool if fire does break t. One of the common causes of coun- try fires is when fat boats over on. the kitchen stove, When this happens, many excited women throw water on the blaze and cause it to spread. Salt or ashes quickly thrown on the Inc will smother the hlaze, but most wo- men do not like a pail of aches stand- ing about the kitchen. However, when fat is tried out, or when doughnuts are made it is well to provide the ashes or a jar of salt, so that in case any accident happens the remedy can be at hand. A pall of ashes stending in a tidy kitchen for a few hours will not ruin the repatetion of any good housekeeper. - When erne Roof Burns.

Piro, caused by poachers in the woods, or by smirks from raihoad engines, are best fought with the plow. Burning ,a space in front of the fire is also geed. At my old home a feev rods from the wailread track-, where the prevailing winds always blew toward the houee and barn, we never hate had a bad fire. There .have been thnes when things looked bad, but by telephoning for the • sod:ion men and plowing a 'strip around the dry inead,ows and keeping. the lawns free from material that would quickly take fire, we still have the homeetead free Seam Inc.
