MAKING CEMENT BARN FLOORS.
There Le no diftioulty in making a
goat[ cement floor if a man is careful
and it he has good material and will
follow directions carefully. I may re-
are planted So far apart that It lie tally
ati they attain large size that they be-
gin to be a check on eaoh other. The
young trees have too much room for
their best results in fruiting. It is just
here that a nttmber of peaoh trees plant-
ed in {owe between those of the apple
tree will do good service," nays Ameri-
can Cultivator. "The peaoh is a short -
peat Douro thtnge 1 said in an article I lived tree and will market 'several
which has been mislaid, and until I crops before the trees wax old and have
to be grubbed out. On the other hand,
the apple trees shelter the peach trees
from prevalent winds, and also help
keep more snow upon the ground than
there would be if either kind of fruit
tree occupied the land to the exclusion
of the other. The peach tree will crowd
the apple tree earlier, and thus bring
them to earlier fruitfulness. \Vc have
known several farmere who _ planted
peaoh trees between rows of young ap-
pie treee w an orchard, and to every
ease the peach crop Bold paid all the ex-
penses of both orchards up to the Lime
that the apple orchard came into bear-
ing. As an old farmer remarked, his
only mistake was that he did not set
out a greater proportion of peach trees
and fewer apples. It is no use, how-
ever, to try to set peach trees in an old
orchard. By the Lime an apple orchard
hes attained bearing size, its roots in-
terlace through the entire ground and
neither a newly transplanted peach tree
nor tree of any kind has a chance to
grow."
received a letter to -day friers the editor
1 was under the impression 1 had sent
the second article un this subject. '1'o
begin, only Portland cement should be
used for stable floors or outside walks.
So:ue people have been sueceesful bn
making good floors with the cheap
-grades of Dement, but many have failed,
and the difference in cot is not NV bat
one who think who knows only that
common cement costs $1 to $1.25 per
barrel, and Portland cement $3 to $4
per barrel. Those experienced in work-
ing with cement know that with lite
grades only two or three parts of gra-
vel or broken stone can be used to one
of cement fur the concrete foundation,
and one of sand to one of cement for
the finishing eoat, or liquid 'stone es
it is called, while with Portland cement
from eight Lo twelve barrels of gravel,
stone and sand can be used to one of
cement in making the concrete, and two
of sand to one of cement in waking
the liquid stone, Writes Waldo If. Brown.
Another point in favor of using Port-
land cement is that you can put your
horses on the fluor in ten days, while
those who recommend the cheap kinde
of cement say: "Do not put your horses
on it for three months."

cement is coarse, sharp sand and finely
crushed stone; and with these waterials
ten parts of stone can lee used to one
of cement in the lower four inches, and
four parts of sand to one of cement in
the upper four inches. 1 have been
laying more or lees cement eaoh year
for the past eigbt years, and all my
floors have given perfect satisfaction.
1 have used gravel for the concrete and
have screened my eaud out of the gra-
vel, using a sieve with one-fourth inch
meshes. Next in importance to
ood
material is thorough mixing• In
mak-
ing the concrete we measure, either by
counting the shovelfuls or by using a
bucket, putting eight parts of gravel
to one of cement in a heap, then ehovcl-
ing it over three or four times so as, to
mix it all thoroughly. The last time
we shovel it over, a third person stands
with a watering pot and sprinkles so
that it will be thoroughly dampened, e
but not wet enough to drip. the flour,
are
now read�i.Lo commence laying
which w e do in sections about four feet
wide, beginuing at the end opposite the
door. For a horse stable floor we use
five inches of concrete and one teach
of topping; in the cow stable, three
and one-half inchs of concrete and one-
half inch of topping. We stake down
a scantling four or six inches wide, as
the case may be, about four feet from
the wall of the stable, and finish this
section without laying another. We
first put in the concrete an inch or two
at a time and tramp 11 solid with a
broad -faced rammer, and continue until
within one or one-half inches of Lhe top,
using a straight edge with a notch at
each end so that it will drop down one
inch or one-half inch as we desire.
When this is put in we are realty for
the finishing coat, which is made of
two parts of clean, sharp sand and one
part of cement, which is thoroughly
mixed dry, and then wet and temper-
ed to the same consistency as we would
use in cementing a cistern ; we then
pour it in, filling the mould to the top,
turning our straight edge over, notched
side up, so that it will be just full to
the top. It will be necessary to use
a trowel around the edges and in the
corners
In order to prevent horses slipping
on it we make grooves four inches apart
and something over one-half inch deep,
for a distance of about two feet at
the rear part of the stalls. These are
made by laying down a broom handle,
tapping it until it beds ode. half its dia-
mater, then move four inches unit re-
peat, thus making parallel grooves four
1n':nes apart. 1We also make these
grooves running the other way, in
front of the door where we lead the
horses in. When a section is finished
we carefully lift the stakes and move
our edge piece over and stake it, and
so continue until time floor is finished.
The Portland cement does not set as
quickly as the cheap grades, but usu-
ally in twelve hours it is hard enough
for a man to walk over it, and for ithe
next tea days it should be protected
fro n the sun and sprinkled thorough-
ly twice a day ; this prevents danger
of cracking and makes it harden more
slowly, insuring a better job. In the
horse stable we prefer to have the floor
laid perfectly level both ways and use
absori,ente to take up I he liquid ; but
in the cow slabie, where we have a
manure ditch, it is well to snake asli hL
slope, nut Lo exceed one inch in five
feet. We make t he floor on which the
cows stand five feet long from the
manger hack to the manure ditch, the
ditch six or eight inches deep and two
feet wide in the bottom, with toe edges
slightly sloped outward ; then a walk
two feet wide back of the ditch on he
same level with the floor on which the
cows stand In my stable the manger
is also floored with cement.; it is made
six feet wide and the horses oat from
one side aid the rows from the other,
their hay and fodder being dropped
through a chute above the manger. I
prefer that all the floors in a basement
stable should bre of cement, because,
first, plank floors rot out so quickly
as to be unprofitnHe, and second, they
always furnish a harbor for rats.
i neglected to say that the grading
should be. [lone and the levels e,stal-
lisbed before the concrete is put. in.
It. will be necessary often to make a
fill, in places at lust. This is best done
with broken stone or gravel and the
spirit level and etraight edge should
be used in establishing the grade. Un-
til within a few years all the Portland
cement used in the United States was
importe.l, but large deposits of the ma-
terial necessary for making the hest
Portland cement have been discovered
in Ohio and other States, and our manu-
factories are now making a first-class
article of Portland cement and selling
it at a lower price than the imported
article ran be sold, with the long dis-
tance freight to he paid. Portland
cement is made from marl and clay,
mixed in proportions determined by
ebemical analysis, then moulded into
brick, dried on reeks and burned in a
furnace, such as is used for making pig
iron. The cheap grades of cement are
made by burning a peculiar kind of
lime atone which will not slake but
is ground to an impa.lable powder.

One of the biggest lumps of gold that
ever was found in the world was the
prize of a party of diggers at Ballaarat.
Australia. While working down their
olalba they had, in the course of their
operations, come upon various little
nuggets, which, if they did nob lavish-
ly repay them for their labors, at leant
kept their hearts beating high with
hope.
The claim was of an extent sufficient
for the 24 permutes who comprised the
company, and they kept on in very
good spirits until they had worked
down to a depth of ISO feet, when, un
June 11, 1858, the attention of all in,
the working was suddenly arrested and
turned in the direction of an irregular-
ly shaped mass; which was feverishly
freed from its surroundiugs.
When at length it was released the
discoverere held their breath in amaze-
ment, fur it was found to be so heavy
that it was difficult to move it. Virions
of wealth "beyond the drea,u of avar-
ice" rose before their eyee in the dim-
ly lighted working where this symbol
of their dream's reality lay before
them—a solid masa of almost pure gold,
measuring about 1 foot 8 inches long
by 12 inches broad and 7 inches deep.
Brant -avenue,
near
When subsequently sealed it weighed
1.25 pounds avoirdupois, of which only
10 pounds were ultimately found to
consist of foreign matter, leaving near-
ly 1,600 cubic orches of solid gold all
in one piece, and capable of being mint-
ed into Bomethng like 9,350 sovereigns.
After remaining in Ballaarat aur twine
time, it was sold there fur $50,000 and
transferred to Melbourue, where it was
also exhibited, and, ere the 18th o8
March, 1859, again changed hands for
the price of its gold, viz., $16,625. It
came to London in November of the
fame year, and was melted.
Sometimes solid pieces have been pick-
ed up from the surfa.w set the ground,
or just covered by the moss. At Kin-
gower,. Victoria, one of a party of ob-
servers lifted from the moss a mass
which, when fieed from about 40 ounces
of moss and quartz fragments, yielded
188 ounces of solid gold; and within
half au inch of the surface, at the same
place, another big lumnp, weighing 236
ounces, was discovered in 1801.
Now and again the search for the
precious mineral has been varied by
some odd accident. In 1861, at Bendi-
go, an old deserted claim was reoccu-
pied, and an earthen pillar, which had
been left standing under the impres-
sion that it wee needed to keep the
roof from falling in, was attacked by
the new tenant under some happy in-
spiration, and with, for result, the
dislodgment of a nugget measuring 12
inches in length, 6 in width, and from
a 1-2 to 2 inches in thickness. This
unlooked-for find was worth about $6,-
000.
Occasionally, also, in face of success,
diggers have quite lost their heads in
their feverish excitement to hurry off
and realize their spoil, At Ballaarat a
party of four started on a claim, and,
after working to a depth of 60 feet,
they suddenly came on a huge nugget.
Without wailing to see whether any
similar good things were lying about,
they went straight to London, where
they sold their prize for $27,500. Hard-
ly had they left when another party
of miners who had taken their place
found within a few yards of the spot
where the first nugget was discover-
ed two lumps of gold, which fetched
31,500.

A Business 1n Which the Greatest Pre-
caution Is Necessary.
In the center of the mill is a. big
iron saucer, probably six feet in di-
ameter. 'I'he rim of the saucer is
about 18 inches high. Standing up
in the saucer are two wheels. They'
seem t.o be about six feet in diameter
also, and their rims about a foot broad.
These wheels and this saucer do the
rolling of the powder—that is, they
grind the three substances that com-
pose the powder into a new mixture.
The wheels are swept around and
around in the saucer, end they also turn
on 1 heir own axes. It is as if they
were kept rolling over and over, just
as the wheels of a carriage roll, but
also as if some power kept them turn-
ing about constantly in the small
circle of this 'saucer. This mill is
where wooden machinery cannot be
used, and of course that makes it a very
dangerous place.
The mixture of the ingredients of
the powder is brought in and dumped
carefully in the saucer. It L9 spread
about smoothly by a workman, who,
after 1 his work is done, goes outside
the mill, and does not come back until
the powder Is rolled thoroughly. The
workman goes to a wheel a few feet
away from the building and turns it
very slowly. ft starts the machinery
that moves the wheels in the saucer.
'1 he greate.9t danger in rolling comes
at true time. The rolling must he be-
gun in the slowest possible way. The
danger 19 that there may he a lump
in the mixture in the .saucer that will
raise one of the wheels as it turns
around and then drop it. suddenly in
the saucer, causing a spark. If this
comes, away goes your mill and marh-
inery, and possibly the workman's life
with them.

IMPORTANCE OF GIBRALTAR.
British Shipping Would Find it a Place
of Shelter In Case of War.
Gibraltar (about 1000 miles from Eng-
land) is of immense importance as be-
ing the great watch tower from which
the movements of war -ships can be ob-
served and telegraphed as they pass in-
to and out of the Mediterranean Sea.
Moreover. situated as it is near the
flank of our trade routes bothl to the
Cape and to the West Indies and South
America., it is the point at which ves-
sels would naturally call for news, or-
ders,coal a.nd protection during the con-
tinuance of a war. When you consid-
er that in every second of time twen-
ty tons of shipping go out or come in-
to our home ports. and that, as a mat-
ter of fact, the stream is continuous and
never ceases, and that the value of
the sea borne trade of the British Em-
pire is calculated at £930,000,000, of
which about £250,000.000 neither comes
to nor goes from the United Kingdom,
it seems difficult to exaggerate the
value of the fortress of Uibraltar or
to realize the congestion of British ship-
ping which !night seek its protection
In war. It has at present no dry docks.
Its garrison consists of seven compan-
ies of engineers and three companies
of infantry. It is the meeting place
of our channel and Mediterranean aqua -
drone. The roads do not afford safe
anchorage in all winds. and an enemy
could conceivably shell them if he
mounted heavy guns on Spanish soil.
Into the composition of every hap-
piness entera the thought of having
deserved it.—Joubert.
