These are concrete tanks built below eround which digest the sewage and prepare it for purification by bac teria in the top soil. The correct concrete mixture for septic tanks contains five and one- half gallons of water to the sack of cement. If the sand and pebbles aYe moist, only four and one quarter gal Ions are used. With wet aggregates, the water is cut to three and three Quarters gallons. A trial batch of concrete is made with one part cement, two parts sand, and three parts pebbles. If this is too wet add more sand and more pebbles. It it is too dry use less aggregates in the succeeding batches. Under no circumstances vary the water, ratio to the cement in the mixture. Plans for a modern septic tank can be secured from the Farm Bureau Office. Substantial concrete corner posts mean tieht fences. These posts which D.

Mc- Tlieij called her a soulless g old-digger but- DO you remember the sensa tional breach of promise suit, a few years ago, by a humble flower-girl against-her young millionaire lover and his wealthy mother? At the trial many ugly charges were hurled at the girl. She was called a "gold-digger," a blackmailer; a shameless crea ture who loved only money and the luxury money could buy. But when, in a voice broken by sobs, she told her pitiful story, men hardened to sorrow wiped their eyes furtively women in the court-room wept aloud. Then came that dra matic and unlooked for conclusion. An un expected witness was called to the stand and in ten words hurled into the tense silence of the crowded August Contents for August Men of My Heart Shattered Souls My Sister's Sin Forbidden Pleasures Three Loves I Played with Fire Her Double Betrsyml and several other stories court-room a bombshell that reverber ated to the ends of the earth. Most people were stunned by the unexpected outcome of the trial. Even today few suspect the true history of events behind that tremendous drama of intrigue, suffering and death less love. But now the entire story has been told by the girl who was the central figure in that amazing drama. Told in words that will bring tears to your eyes tears of joy, of sorrow. oXunder standing and sympathy.

Out Now! up to slough grass very little wash ing occurred but the breaking plough brought about considerable change. The first few years things went along as usual but gradually the land owner realized that his farm was be ing cut in two with a deep ditch. So far as actual land that 13 wast ed is concerned. It would scarcely be worth while to spend any money to stop these large ditches but when you consider that good fields are cut in three or four pieces and that each field must be farmed with point-rows the economic loss is readily appar ent. It does not pay to waste very much time in attempting to use brush dams when the depth of the gully is more than 44 or 5 feet. The soil saving dam of eath with concrete or tile tubes is the permanent and easiest solution. With careful construction no ditch is too large to be stopped with a soil saving dam. Those interested will probably have an opportunity to see some de monstrations and soil saving dams constructed in this county. Just this week I saw a man cut ting a twenty acre field of wheat in six different lands, because he had not stopped the small ditches with brush dams.
