a hook shape. Strengthen the platform around the man- 

 hole opening by placing two rods on each side. Bring 

 the cover to its full thicknes by immediately tamping in 

 the remaining 4 inches of concrete. Finish the surface 

 with a wooden float (a trowel) the same as for sidewalks. 

 If the tin form is used, the manhole cover may be cast 

 at the same time as the remainder of the floor. Rein- 

 force the cover with short length of iron rods laid criss- 

 cross. As a lifting ring for the cover, use half of an old 

 bridle bit or a hitching post ring, the end provided with 

 a knob of twisted wire or with a nut and large washer 

 for holding it firmly in the concrete. If 

 the wooden manhole form is used, care- 

 fully remove it after 5 hours. After 3 

 days build the manhole cover the same 

 as for the tin form, with this exception 

 place greased paper or cardboard 

 around the edge of the opening to pre- 

 vent the new concrete from sticking to 

 that of the platform. To make the 

 manhole cover lighter in weight, be- 

 fore placing the concrete, spread \ l /2 

 inches of wet sand over the wooden plat- 

 form in the manhole opening and then 

 tamp in the concrete. Take care to place 

 the reinforcing within 1 inch of the bot- 

 tom of the manhole cover. When the 

 cistern platform is two weeks old, re- 

 move the manhole cover and saw an 

 opening in the wooden floor. Descend, 

 knock out the 1-inch wedges under the 

 side-wall forms, take the forms apart 

 and pass them out through the manhole 

 opening. 



It is generally advisable to filter rain 

 water. For this purpose provide a filter 

 on the outside of the cistern proper. 

 Construct this filter in the same way as 

 the cistern was built except that the re- 

 inforced concrete cover should be loose 

 so that it can be removed. Therefore, 

 mold it on a smooth surface such as a 

 wooden floor, and later put it in place. 

 Make the concrete walls and bottom 6 

 inches and the cover 4 inches thick. 

 Under most conditions a filter 2 feet 

 square and 3 feet deep in the clear is 

 large enough. Carry the walls a few 

 inches above the surrounding ground. 

 At the filter floor level connect the filter 

 with the cistern by means of a 6 to 8- 

 inch sewer pipe or drain tile laid with

There is a certain pride in owning a wagon that you 

 know is built of the highest quality materials obtainable

 best paint and varnish, but which also gives perfect 

 service, day after day, and year after year. That's why

 want to be proud of your next wagon choose any one of these

Wefcer wagons have been leaders for 66 years. Hickory is 

 used for axles, singletrees, doubletrees, and neckyokes. 

 Oak is used for hubs, hounds, bolsters, reaches, and sand- 

 boards. Oak or hickory is used for spokes. 

 New Bettendorf wagons are the only wagons with tubular 

 steel axles the only wagons with extension reach box- 

 no extra reach is needed to lengthen the gear. Removable 

 malleable sleeves protect the axle and can be replaced 

 when worn.

 able stake and internal reinforcement of axles and 

 bolster. 1 ^ Wheels and box same high quality as the 

 other I H C wagons.
