In establishing water supply sys-
TEN for a farm, the first thing to be
determined is the kind of power to Ge
used in making the supply of water
available for the uses of man and
beast. Wind power is the most COM
mon, though gasoline, as we'll as horse
and tread power are more and more
coming into use. AS to which power
should be used it can only be said that
local circumstances and conditions, will
always determine this.

water system where the supply comes
from tubular we'll and the water is
pumped by wind power. The dwelling

Alfalfa and Hog Growing.

Alfalfa pasture for hogs has proved
to be very profitable. A hog grower
says in the Indiana Farmer: prom

five brood sows, in a siX-acre patch OF
alfalfa and cut the alfalfa twice, av-
eraging at these two cuttings more than

can be slipped into the barrow, to the
great increase of it's capacity. The side
pieces should be hardwood strips. The

Care of the Grindstone.

1t is very common on some farms to
keep the grindstone out of doors, shc!-
tered only by the foliage Of some trees
in summer, but in winter it Is expos,d
to all kinds Of storms. These stones
were not they would not make good
material to sharpen metal-cutting tools.
When a grindstone gets wet, and the
moisture In it freezes, pieces of the
stone chip off and the stone wears
away unevenly, thus soon becoming of
very little value.

Testing Eggs.

A simple method Of finding out thu
age of an egg is by means Of the air
space, which is situated towards the
broad end of the shell. If the egg is
held up between the hands before the
light in a dark room, the air space can
be easily discerned. In perfectly fresh
egg the air space is very small, but MS
age increases it extends, until, when
the egg is shree weeks old, the air
space is about sixth Of the entire
egg space. With practice the age can
be told to within twenty four hours.

Guinea Fowls.

These may proftably find room on
many a farm and country place. Ex-
cept during the first few weeks of their
lives, they are very hardy, and require
the least attention and feeding of any
feathered stock. 1t is best to hatch
and rear the young with hens. The old
birds are delicious eating, while the
young furnish the choicest tidbits.
There Is a good demand for them Iii
market. The eggs are excellent for cul-
mary purposes, though smaller than
those from hens. The old birds usually
pair when the number of males and fe
males in a flock is equal though a sin
gle male will take care of several hens
The guineas are excellent watch dogs.

food if prejudice against them does not

here. Chicory is raised in European
gardens. Pigweed is delicacy to the

Bacteria in Butter wash Water.

IN WASH water
In a bulletin issued by the Kansas
State Agriculture College, c. w. Melick,
assistant dairy husbandman; arrives 1T
the following conclusions regarding the
effect of bacteria in wash water for
butter: 1t is both practical and eco
nomical to sterilize wash water 70:
butter if it can be cooled and used inn
mediately. Otherwise, the practice is
Il useless expense. A filter for cream
cry water is only a source Of contain
nation and filth unless frequently clean
ed and refilled with fresh filtering ma
terial Water melted from ice, even
though kept at so degrees Fahrenheit,
may become filled with bacterial growth
if allowed to stand for few hours IN
a wooden tank from day to day with
out thorough cleaning. Great care
should therefore be taken in the util'-
zation of such water fer cooling par
poses There is a direct relation be-
tween the bacterial content Of the
wash water used and the keeping quail
ity of the butter. Water kept at low
temperature from 40 to so degrees Fair
enheit for a few hours inhibits the de-
velopment of bacteria, or destroys from
one-half to four-flfths of those pres

surface. The space below the tank Is
used as a sort of creamery room.
In this system the water is forced
from the we'll through the pipe (A) by
windmill power, directly to a forty
barrel galvanized tank OBJ located IN
tho garrett of the residence. From here
it may be piped to any part OF the
house. An overflow pipe (E) taps the
tank near the top and conducts the
water to the large cypress supply tank.
nv this method the freshest water re-
mains in the galvanized tank in the
garrett. The pipe CO. leads from this
sunn,v tank to wherever the water IS
required for use, to hog lots, STOCK
tanks. etc. BY this plan there Is
permanent supply under pressure so
long as the we'll or spring Is not ex-
hausted and the windmill kept In or
der.
Where all buildings are nearly on
a level 1t is sometimes practicable to
Mace the supply tank in the barn as
indicated in the smaller figure. This
makes it convenient to surround the
tank with packing material so that
the water does not freeze. If one will

main drinking tank also inside this

venient plan for watering stock in

LOST AT HOME.

There may be degrees in "lostness.'
One man may be further from the right
road than another, though any man of
the. road is lost. A respectable-looking
Pharisee certainly does not seem sc
bad as a dissolute spendthrift reduced
to the company Of swine. But when
lostness is under consideration, moth
ing is so deceptive as outward appear

elder brother seems to have been serv
ing with the thought Of material pay.
He was doing the work for what he
could get out of 1t. His thought of re
ward moves along low plane. Jesus
condemned Pharisaism because of its
low view of reward. The taskmasteI
