the area, and upon this erecting a form 

 of boards of the shape and size desired, 

 which will Kerve to hold the concrete 

 wall in place until it has hardened, after 

 which the form can be removed and the 

 surface of the concrete coated with a 

 rich cement mortar to make it more im- 

 pervious to moisture. Anyone who can 

 carefully measure out the cement, sand 

 and gravel can make the tank. A good 

 combination for this work will be the 

 1, 2, 4 combination. This is a barrel 

 and a half of cement, three barrels sand 

 and six and one-quarter barrels gravel 

 or crushed stone. Mix thoroughly both 

 before and after moistening. Then tamp 

 hard into the form. A good geared 

 back steel mill on a 30-foot tower will 

 probably do your work satisfactorily. 

 I)o not get too small a mill ; eight to 

 ten feet is better than smaller. ITse at 

 least a 2-inch pipe from the tank if you 

 expect to irrigate nuich. A 3-inch or 

 4-inch pipe, with good flume boxes and 

 races, will be found better for general 

 irrigation, either for the furrow or 

 flooding system. Unless you have quite 

 constant winds, I think it would be wise 

 to figure on a gasoline engine for pump- 

 ing instead of the windmill. L. C. C.

tiona were by William F. Began, the 

 Essex street florist. 



Late in the afternoon the couple, at- 

 tended by twenty-five intimate friends, 

 departed in a special car. Arrived in 

 Boston, the party of twenty-five saw Mr. 

 and Mrs. Shanahan off for New York. 

 After a trip through New York and 

 Canada the couple will go to San Fran- 

 cisco in August. Mr. and Mrs. Shana- 

 han have planned a year 's trip abroad 

 early in 1908. 



The bridegroom owns hotels in Sacra- 

 mento and San Francisco, and is well- 

 to-do. He has large mining interests in 

 Nevada.
