and one and one-half to two parts of 
clean, coarse sand, mixed. Nearly all 
constructions which come in contact w ith 
water should be covered with a mortar 
at least as rich as the proportion last 
named. For engine foundation, one 
part cement, two parts sand and four 
parts broken stone is best. 
In estimating the amount of material 
necessary for a certain construction, do 
not make the mistake of thinking that a 
mixture of one barrel of cement, two and 
one-half barrels of loose sand and five 
barrels of gravel or broken stone w ill 
make eight and one-half barrels of con¬ 
crete. The sand will fill the voids be¬ 
tween the gravel or broken stone and 
the cement fills the voids between the 
grains of sand. The total amount of 
concrete w ill be but slightly more than 
the amount of gravel or broken stone 
used. 
To make one cubic yard of concrete 
of the following proportions—one part 
cement, two and one-half parts sand and 
hve parts gravel — requires about one and 
one-quarter barrels of cement (five 
sacks), three and one-quarter barrels of 
sand, and six and one-half barrels of 
gravel. 
MIXING 
Be very careful in measuring the pro¬ 
portion. Mix the concrete as near the 
place it is to be used as possible. Use 
as soon as mixed. Do not mix too much 
at once. 
Measure the sand first and spread it 
in an even layer in a mixing box, place 
the cement on top and turn it with a 
shovel at least three times. Then add 
the broken stone or gravel which has 
previously been wet, and turn the w hole 
at least three times. Begin to add the 
water on the second turning, not too 
much at once. A sprinkling pot is better 
than a hose for adding the water, as it 
does not wash away the cement. 
Concrete work should be avoided in 
freezing weather, as frost damages it. 
Where it is absolutely necessary to do 
work at this time, a small amount of salt 
added to the w r ater will prevent freezing; 
this does not damage the concrete where 
used in small quantities. 
An objection is sometimes raised that 
concrete floors and walls are too smooth 
and become slippery when wet. 1 his 
fault is largely due to the fact that the 
finishing surface was completed with a 
steel smoothing trowel instead of a wood 
trowel, or smoothing board, wdiich w ould
