Water Tank Idea Brings Clean Farm Water to Stock
Farmers can build a concrete water tank following simple instructions. The feature stresses watertight sanitation and long life, with a base of gravel, a six inch concrete bed, and a one to four mix. A well drained site and proper excavation are advised for sturdiness and durability.
Construction details for reinforced concrete tank walls
The text describes rapid wall construction using a rich concrete mix of cement sand and pebbles, forming a continuous wall in one pour. It advises leaving a two inch gap at the bottom, inserting a continuous concrete layer, incorporating L shaped reinforcement with Berk dent corners, and arranging reinforcing steel into the walls, with a surrounding concrete pavement 5 to 6 feet wide.

After fifteen years of inbreeding and cross breeding with guinea pigs using over £4000 worth of animals, the U S Department of Agriculture extends the investigation to poultry and swine. Six pens of White Leghorns are prepared for continuous breeding with one male per year. Similar tests will run with five pairs of Poland China hogs and four pairs of Tamworth hogs. The aim is to compare crossing within a breed and between two breeds under inbreeding.
