AND EXPOSITION
When completed, the new plant of
the Calumet Baking Powder Company,
liow under course of construction, at
South 4Tst avenue add Fillmore
street, will prove a fitting monument
to the ability, honesty and progres-
elveness which have rendered possi-
ble the tremendous growth of one of
Chicago's most prominent industrial
Institutions.
This immense plant, the estimated
cost of which is 1250.000, is a strictly
modern five-story and basement, fire
proof, re-enforced concrete building.
Bize, 260x100 feet. One of the novel
and interesting features of this, the
largest and moat efficiently equipped
Baking Powder plant in existence,
Will be a cantilever shipping platform
projecting over to a switch track on
a level with the second floor.
Automatic machinery, modern ap-
pliances and passenger and freight
elevators of the latest type will be
installed and employed in mauufao
turing and handling the company's
product.
Plans which make possible a maxi-
mum amount of glass area and the
highest degree of sanitation have
been carefully and scientifically pre-
pared. Spacious and splendidly ap-
pointed 'rest rooms are provided for
employes.
One entire floor will be devoted to
laboratory and research equipment.

of a blacksmith shop, waiting to have
the buggy repaired. The first shot

should be firm. For a person desir-
ing to construct a pit silo eight feet
in diameter, a perfect circle can be
marked off by driving a stake In the
center of the ground to be occupied
by the silo. To the top of this stake
affix a board fully four feet in length.
At the far end of the board, one large
nail should bs driven, projecting
through the board, and then six

Small Trench for Concrete
The space between the two circles
should be dug out to a depth of at
least eighteen inches. This branch,
si); inches wide and eighteen inches
deep should be filled with concrete.
If sand and cement is used to fill the
trench, the mixture should be in the
proportion of one part cement to four
parts of sand. If the sand contains
coarse gravel, one part of cement and
five parts of sand should be used.
This concrete curb should extend
above the ground a foot or two, to
protect the silo from wash water.
When the concrete has settled for
twenty-four hours, excavation of the
inside of the pit can safely be com-
menced.

the coating of cement, should be even
