Water Connection for Henhouse 
l would like informal inn on laying of 
wntcr pipes to henhouses. I desire to 
put in concrete floor. Where should pipe 
enter house so that if repair work were 
necessary the, floor would not have to be 
torn up? Also, I want it so arranged as 
not to freeze in Winter. K. S. W. 
A water system of this kind can lie 
made us outlined in the accompanying 
cut. The ntfliu is laid below frost, along 
the outside of the building, preferably 
the warmer side, ami the one free from 
roof water. Tees are put in. one for each 
pen or place where water is desired, and 
a short length of pipe earrying a cut-off 
threaded into them. This permits the up¬ 
right. part to he brought, up inside the 
building. 
The cut-off should either be of the type 
Plan far Water Connection 
known as a drainage fitting, or a small 
hole should be drilled at the bottom of 
the upright section of pipe to permit the 
escape of the water contained in the up¬ 
right section after the water is turned off 
So , < The pipe should also be 
filled in around with clean cinders or 
gravel, to provide drainage for the water 
left m the upright pipes after it is used 
each tune With the main line out of 
doors in tliis way it can be dug up for 
repairs without disturbing the inside of 
the house. If desired, the line can be 
run inside and a narrow strip of floor 
laid separately over the pipe, permitting 
it to he easily broken up and removed 
when necessary. If the line is laid near 
the center of the building it will not be 
necessary to go as deep to avoid frost as 
it is on the outside. r. h. 8. 
Hammering Circular Saw 
Four years ago 1 bought a 32-in. cir¬ 
cular saw for cordwood. This has been 
ground twice; teeth are about in. 
long. Ts it dangerous to use it without 
hammering it? If so, can you give in¬ 
structions so a novice could hammer it? 
A saw firm would charge for the work 
within about $2 of the original cost. 
Trinidad, Wash. c. it. rr. 
This question was referred by me to a 
large saw company. Because of their 
wide experience it was thought that they 
could give the best information on the 
subject: 
“Statement that this saw has been 
ground twice, we would interpret as 
meaning that user had had saw gummed 
out with an emery wheel twice since he 
put it in use. Answering his question as 
to whether it is dangerous to use tlii- saw 
without having it hammered, this would 
depend upon the condition of the saw. 
The gumming out of circular saws on the 
rim cuts away a certain amount of metal, 
and if gummed too deeply, or the rim of 
tlie saw heated up through improper use 
of the emery wheel, there is a tendency 
to stretch the rim; or if gummed prop¬ 
erly. the cutting away of the metal re¬ 
moves a pertain amount of strain that is 
put in with a hammer, leaving the saw 
what we call loose on the rim. and to ob¬ 
tain a true-running saw it is accessary 
to have (lie saw hammered and to 
straighten and readjust the tensions. If 
the saw was very badly out of tension it 
would run out of a true line to a consid¬ 
erable extent, and with careless handling 
might he forced out of the line to such an 
extent ns to break the saw. It would not 
he practicable for a novice to attempt to 
hammer a circular saw.* as work of this 
kind calls for experience gained under 
the tutelage of a man who knows how 
this work should he done, before lie would 
know how this,work would lie done for 
himself.” 
Doubtless from the above you can judge 
as to the condition of your saw. Over¬ 
heating of tlie rim in gumming would 
likely he indicated by blue or purplish 
discoloration, while the looseness spoken 
of is indicated by a tendency to run out 
of a straight course while sawing. This 
condition would he increased by improper 
filing. it. ii. s. 
It OR lit t' met a neighbor who was smok¬ 
ing some fine, fragrant tobacco sent by 
bis son in America. lie took out his own 
pipe ostentatiously. “Hu’ you n match, 
Sandy?” he queried. The match was 
forthcoming, but nothing more. “1 do be¬ 
lieve," said Rubble, “I ha’ left ma tobacco 
at ha me.” "Then,” said Sandy, after a 
silence, “ye mb ht gie me back ma match.”
