TTIARMERS have not realised the JD value of conciete to them, and are kept fiom using it thiough mistaken ideas of cost, and fear that they cannot cany out such woiks as concrete dairies, out-buildings, tanks, sheep-dips, &c, or lay kitchen, dairy, barn, cowshed, stockyard, piggery, fowl-house, or any other floors, without engaging skilled labour. No doubt men acquainted with the work have the advantage, but still, any intel gent man who follows our instructions can soon acquire the necessary information. A dairy Bft. x 10ft. by Bft. hi#h, if lined, will take 1000 ft of timber for walls aiid floors, at 15s per 100 ft, £7 10s. The same in concrete requires 40 bushels of lime at Is 9d, £3 10s, and ei^ht yards .gravel at 4s, £1 12s— or 48s less than timber When gravel is not available, rich clay, well burned, makes a good substitute. The cost of burning a cubic yard varies from Is 6d to 2s with wood, or 2s to 2s 6d with coal. There is no difficulty in treating ifc. Please send dimensions of buildings, tanks, floors, &c, and purposes intended for, and we will return estimates of all materials required, stating thicknpss to rpake Trails and ■ floors; and circular .explaining* treatment of lime.
