4 Simple Method Of Making Bsd Water
FIT 20 DFink.
It often happens that drinking water
Is very impure, and contains much mat
ter which it is important to get rid Of
before disinfecting by boiling. A few
strands of candle wick, . piece Of
cheesecloth, or any other clean cloth
which has been washed, - . clean
towel, may be improvised Is filter.
Provide two vessels, the one containing
the water to be filtered placed sbove the
receiving vessel; place one end Of the
cloth or wick in the vessel above. and
let the other end hang over the lower
vessel. As the water is descending
from the upper to the lower vessel. the
cotton hbers viii entangle the suspend
ed matter, and the water, IS it drops
into the lower vessel, will be f-s-d from
much of the dirt which It contains.
The water can then be boiled and made

him in one of the corners of the cow

generation in the COW stable, he was
well looked after, kept scrupulous-
ly clean by being supplied
daily with bedding material. fed and
watered regularly. Here he was as
gentle as lamb" When leading

which is thrown over one horn, a half
hitch being made around the other
horn. thus firmly securing the rope,
for the more the animal pulls the
tighter the rope is drawn. This same
device was used in tying him in the
COW stable, when the cows were out

walking around to the lend of his
tether," he, of course, being fastened
in the stanchions while the cows were
being MIXED. The statement has been
advanced that the bull should never
be petted. as that course has a ten.
dency to lessen his virility. Be that as
it may, this Jersey was petted and ap.

| Diagram Showing the Principles Upon
| Which 1t Is Built.
The illustration is not a completed
refrigerator, but diagram showing
the principles upon which they are
built and from it anyone can tell what
to buy to suit his leeds. If he cannot
suit himself in that way he can make
one of his own. It is intended to be
used with ice. If rightly constructed,
the air in refrigerator will be dry,
as well as cold, and one is as necessary
as the other to adapt it to family use.
If the cold air be moist, slime will
gather upon the perishable substances
and destroy their flavor. EveL eggs
will not keep in refrigerator unless
the air is dry, and formerly large
quantities of chemicals were employed
to absorb the moisture. These chemi-
Gals were regularly carried out and
dried in the sun. Fruits, vegetables
and m ats also require dry air. It
has been found that the simplest way
to dry the air is to bring it in direct
contact with the ice. A current is
formed, either mechanically or natur-
ally, the air is brought in contact with
the ice and its moisture is condensed
upon the ice, passing off with the drip.
Two things are required for good
and economical work: One is that
such surfaces will also condense mois-
ture although then it remains in drops
and is partially reabsorbed by the air.
The other point is to prevent the ad-
mission of outside air. If properly
constructed and no outside air admit,
ted, the air moves in a current and is
kept dry, as well as cold. by constant
contact with the ice. To prevent the
admission of outside air, the drip pipe
which carries out the water from the
melted ice must have trap in it.
that is, depression which will always
be fillei with water, so as to keep air
from entering. The theory of .ic cir
culation is as follows: Cold air is
heavier than warm and will descend.
AS the air in contact with the ice de-
sends, other air takes its place, the
warmer rising because it is lighter. All
the descending air is cooled and dried
by the ice and it pursues its course cool
and dry. Of course the portion that is
in direct contact with the ice is coolest
and therefore heaviest. 1t is constant
~ falling thus keeping up the circula-
ton. It is evident that the shelves
should be few and that these must
have openings to permit the air to as
cend. The arrows show clearly the
natural circulation of the air, and it
must not be interfered with by an air
tight partition or shelf. AS to the size,

A Quick and Effective w.y Of Routing tho

A sure remedy for these summer
pests is here outlined. Big, fat, black

red ants have put in their early ap-
pearance at our house for the past few
summers, taking possession of every
pantry and cellar shelf where food is
kept and persistently remaining until
frost comes. have tried washing the
shelves in alum water, and circling the
sugar bucket and cake box with chalk
marks, thick and broad, to strand the
foraging. and sifted sponges i',ll of
sugar, and, when filed with victims,
have plunged them into hot water.

see both black and red ants scamper-

BRIDGES AND SLUicES.

threat Improvement Noticeable In Their
Construction.
During the past ten years there has
been q great improvement in the con-
sstruction of small bridges and sluices,
especially as regards efficacy and dura-
bility. The improvement consists
imainly in the use of vitrifed sewer
pipe, which, if properly placed in posi-
ton, will be found in good condi-
tion after many years, while the COM
mon wooden and stone sluices, as usu-
ally constructed, need more or less at
tention after a time.
When the old wooden or stone sluice

inches inside diameter will remove the
water equally as well. as there is COM
paratively no friction and no impede
ment or stoppage as by the old process,
rs the water glides noiselessly through
ON the smooth, glazed surface. The
chief points to be observed in the use
of these pipes is to have the upper sur
SAce of the pipe at least one foot below
the surface of the roadway. and that

MAcADAM ROADS.

Many Arc Spoiled BY Men Who Do Not
Know How TO Repair Them.
We copy the following article IRE
engraving the cuts) from the useful
monthly called Good Roads:
Suppose you had a pair of boots
which needed half-soling, and the shoe
maker returned them to you just as
they were. except that he sent two
pieces of sole leather and instructed
you to hold them OF the soles until
they became permanent. Now you
think the above a very absurd SUPPOSE
ton, and yet if you are a taxpayer you
are helping to pay for just such repair
ing, only it happens to be on roads
which are partly yours instead of
boots which you alone have to wear.
After years of agitation you succeed
in getting a decent macadam road,
this is assuming great deal, but we
must start with something). 1t lacks,
however. one very desirable quality
it isn't waterproof; so in time the rain
soaks into it and finds the most porous
spots aud the settling begins. The
road often settles before the town
does. AS soon as a low spot begins to
develop, it catches more water and
that :oal.s the earth underneath still
more. and the low spot sinks still low
er until it gets almost as low as some
of the politics which prevent its re-
pair.
