SANITARY SINK AND DRAIN.

the weight of the new addition. 1t is
we'll to flush the sink pipe occasionally
with strong washing soda, letting it
stand in the trap all night. The refuse
water from, the weekly wash, hopping
or scrubbing may be empted into
the funnel at m, and be carried off by
the drain. This funnel is of wood one
foot square at the top, tapering to the
diameter of pipe. The drain pipe
should be at least four inches in diam
eter and placed below frost, discharged
fv' or six rods from the dwelling, so
that the water will spread over large
area and quickly become absorbed.
sink outlet pipe should be one inch in
diameter, either of lead or iron. The
funnel also acts as a ventilator for the
drain, and should not be located nearer
than Is feet from the building. Cast
iron pipe is best for the drain, as sewer
pipe or wood, unless the joints are ce-
mented, is liable to leak, which will
prove dangerous to the well and cellar.

PROFIT IN POULTRY.
Farmers Can No Longer Afford a.
Hatch Chickens without the
Aid of IncubatOrs.

The farmer who raises more than 100
chickens cannot afford to hatch them
with hens. The average farmer should
arrange with his wife and girls TO
hatch as many chickens as can be cared
for during the coming season. The
farmer has every advantage as poul-
try raiser over the man who makes a
specially of it. He produces nearly ev-
erything that is needful in the way of
feed and, can provide shelter for an un-
usually large number very cheaply by
making straw houses or other make
shifts for temporary use.
Where this plan is followed incuba-
tors and breeders are used to greatest
advantage. These machines have been
SO nearly perfected that boy or girl
of average intelligence can care for
them without difficulty. The children
take an interest in such things and soon
learn how to operate them perfectly,
and once this knowledge is acquired the
presence of an incubator or two is cause
for very little extra work.
When an incubator is used the chicks
ali come out at one time, and, being of
one age, have an equal chance to grow
up. 1t is no more trouble to take care
of 100 chickens in good brooder than
it is to watch an old hen with three
chickens. An incubator is much easier
to care for than lot of sitting hens, and
it is reliable in every way. 1t does not
get tired of sitting and strike, nor does
it get fussy and scratch lot of valuable
eggs into heterogeneous mass of shell,
contents and nest material.
A sewing machine is considered indis-
pepsable and to go without moving
machine is to- be very far behind the
times. The man who would make his
poultry most profitable must use an in
cubator and breeders in order o derive
thc greatest profits from his flock.
These machines are cheaper than ever
and better than ever. No class of ma
chinery has been improved to greater
extent than these and they are now so
perfect, that the old claim that "a child
can operate them" is literally true

THINGS TO CONSIDER.
What Farmers should Grow for Mar
kct to Obtain Satisfactory
Pecupinry Results.

This is a question that comes up for
consideration quite frequently in the
mind of the progressive farmer, and
especially at this season of the year,
when all the busy work is done and we
begin TO look about to see what had best
be undertaken another year. In decid-
ing what crops TO grow farmers do not
always consider the important item of
cost in taking them to market, which
is governed TO no small extent by the
weight of the crop, as well as the dis
tance from market. The greater the
distance products must be transport
ed and the poorer the roads that are
TO be travelled the greater the neces-
sity for producing stuff that is easily
marketed.
If one grows potatoes and sells them
at 40 cents a bushel, the local price a
many towns this season, he must draw
125 bushels to market to obtain $50.
These 1875 bushels will weigh nearly
four tons. How many times they have
to be handled. sorted and lifted the
farmer that grows them alone can tell.
If he grows small fruits for the mar
ket and realizes ten cents a quart for
his product he is getting about $500 a
bushel, or over 500 a ton for what he
sells, or about eight times as much as
the potatoes brought him. Then there
is eight times the cost in wear and tear
of wagon and horsefiesh, as well as
muscular strength expended by the pro
Queer. We have all heard of the farm
er's wife who took a basket of eggs to
the store on her arm and obtained more
money for it than her husband did for
two-horse load of hay. If it is not a
true story, ii illustrates the point.
Almost every day we see coming to
town small paper boxes not weighing
more than two or three pounds, which
contain flowers that are sold for quite
as much money as a wagonload of some
kinds of farm products will bring. If
farmers would pay little more atten-
ton to the production of these items
which are in demand at high prices they
would make more money than they do.
II would cost no more TO arrange for
the production of flowers that would
sell for one dolla: a pound than pigs
that bring three cents pound.-Farm-
ers' Guide.

How to dispose of the sink and slop

but Immediately underneath the sink
or under the floor, as most convenient,

ing the lead pipe in the form of a letter
S; it should extend upward at the
bend little more than the diameter
of the pipe. so that the pipe at the low
est point of the bend will always re-

sewer gas from escaping into the room.

remaining in the pipe is forced out by

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. prxxnAmI

A woman with the blues is a very uD-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known ns
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and ncrv-
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough com
mon sense, and is the counsel of .
learned woman of great experience
Read the story of Mrs. +. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, us told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
n weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.

Reed will be the guest of q rich Wall

and that he intends to compel an i'm
mediate show down on the part of Mr..
Mckinley that will make the position
of the administration on the speaker

injury in an accident, and while this
was not the primary cause of death, it
is hardly possible to completely disas-

impression that the report of Gen.
Otis, since the victories of the past
week have been to the effect that
Aguinaldo's army is about ready to
ask for terms and that a general col
lapse of the rebellion may be looked
for at any time. Owing to the strict
censorship, no private kilograms deal
ing with the conditions existing can
be sent from Manila direct, but some
have been sent to Hong Kong by boat
and cabled from there, which do MOI
take such rosy view of the situation
According to these, the war is long
ways from being over, and the only
effect that will follow thrashing Aguin
aldo's army, which our troops do every
time they come into contact with any
portion of it, will be to transfer the
fighting ground to the hills and bushes
where it will be difficult for our men tt
get at them except when they choose tt
be shot at, and possibly to other is
lands of the group. There is nightly
