CONCBETING A POND. 



Will you give me some information as 

 to how I can make a pond hold water? 

 Last year I put a 3-inch wall of con- 

 crete around the pond, but it will 

 not hold water. I have been thinking 

 of putting on a thin coat, but I have 

 been told that it will not stick to the 

 old concrete. J. B. M. — Kan. 



From the above it is inferred that the 

 water makes its way through the con- 

 crete rather than through cracks which 

 may have formed. It is true that it is 

 rather a difficult matter to unite a sec- 

 ond layer of cement after the first layer 

 has been set, but good results may be 

 secured if these suggestions are fol- 

 lowed: First, apply water to the sur- 

 face of the concrete until it has taken 

 up all that it will absorb. Second, with 

 an old broom or a large brush apply a 

 layer of neat cement, so &a to leave 

 merely a skin coat. Third, float on a 

 layer of cement composed of one part 

 of cement and two parts of sifted sharp 

 sand. Fourth, as soon as this shows the 

 least sign of drying out, sprinkle on 

 water and keep it wet for a week or ten 

 days. Fifth, if the weather ia hot and 

 dry, cover the surface of the concrete 

 with wet sawdust or soil and make sure 

 that this does not dry out for at least 

 one week. This plan will lessen the 

 work of wetting down the concrete. 



EUMINATING SNAILS. 



Can you tell me of any way to clear 

 greenhouses of snails f 



L. & A. H.— Md. 



Paris green and other poisons are of 

 no value in fighting snails. Sprinkling 

 air-slaked lime or black soot around 

 their haunts and about the plants is a 

 sure preventive of attacks from snails. 

 The lime will destroy all that it touches. 

 As it is the habit of snails to do most 

 of their work in the evening, at night 

 or on dark days, select such times to 

 sprinkle lime on the floors or benches. 

 This is the simplest and most effective 

 remedy. Give your house a dusting of 

 lime before planting, and a large pro- 

 portion of the snails will bo destroyed. 



They will not cross a line of cork 

 dust, sawdust or bran. Lines of salt 

 will not be passed by them, for contact 

 with salt means sure death to them. 

 A lino of any of these materials, cut- 

 ting off the beds where plants are, or 

 a ring around the plants will protect 

 the plants. To protect spikes of par- 

 ticularly valuable flowers, a good plan 

 is to wind a small piece of cotton wool 

 around the stem.
