Replace That Leaking Water Tank :
| Materials are available for constructing a concrete watering tan’r that
will be watertight and last a long time.
By W. G. KAISER
Agricultural Engineer
An ample supply of fresh water in
j readily accessible tanks and troughs
is one of the first requirements
iu increasing livestock production
which is now so essential in the
nation’s efforts to provide food for
its armed forces and civilians and
those of its allies.
Concrete is strongly favored for
making tanks and troughs because it
withstands I lie rough usage to which
such structures arc subjected, is not
affected by rust or rot, rad requires
I no scarce material needed for war
work.
A concrete pavement G fc. wide
around the tank is highly desirable
to provide a clean, mud-free plat
form for livestock to stand on.
Steps in construction are rela
tively simple. Outside and inside
forms are built of 1-in. boards witii
2x4-in. studs and braces. Forms may
he built In sections or panels in
case more than one tank is to ba
made with tho same forms. Outside
forms are erected first, then con
crete is placed for the tank floor,
making it C in. thick and using the

same mix throughout. Inside f jnwv
are then set at an angle sloping
inward so that the walls of lha tan«f
will he 4 in. thick at the top anti <
in. thick at the tank floor.
Concreting should he continuous;
walla of the tank being placed im
mediately following the floor .In
order to avoid possible leaky con
struction joints. As concrete fit
placed, it is thoroughly spaded newt
to the form faces. It is best to p aw
concrete in layers about 6 in. doe®*
so forms will not he moved.
The recommended mix for water. -
ing tanks and troughs is 1 paint
Portland cement, 2\ i parts c 'eaoa
r and and 3 parts gravel or crushed?
stone (not over % in. in size). The
correct amount of water is 5 g3.fi
for each sack of cement used. The
resulting mix should be mushy, bur
not soupy. The same mix is t!sd«at
in constructing the pavement arnmtrf'i
