Farm Water Supply.

In establishing water supply sys-
TEN for a farm, the first thing to be
determined is the kind of power to be
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 well 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.
The Illustration is a design of q
water system where the supply comes
from a tubular well and the water Is

ROssfnt's LazineHs.

Rossini was one of the most indo-

used to do most of his composing in

trio, when the sheet fell out of his
hand and went under the bed. He
could not reach 1t, and, rather than
get up, he wrote another. The lazy
man, If he works at all, does so by
spurts, and Rosslni, working against

the very day of the first performance
of the opera not note of the over

These took the sheets as they were

planned to her uncle, King Edward.
that some ladies Of the court in Madrid

to ''be sensible girl" and said, "Do

Bacteria in Butter Wash Water.

In a bulletin issued by the Kansas
State Agriculture College, c. W. Melick,
assistant dairy husbandman, arrives It
the following conclusions regarding the
effect of bacteria in wash water for
butter: 1t is both practical and eco
nomical to sterilize wash water TO-
butter if it can be cooled and used i'm
mediately. Otherwise, the practice is
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 tiltering ma
terial. Water melted from ice, even
though kept at 80 degrees Fahrenheit,
may become filled with bacterial growth
If allowed to stand for a few hours IN
a wooden tank from day to day with
out thorough cleaning. Great care
should therefore be taken in the utili-
zation of such water fer cooling plr-
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 Fahr-
enheit for a few hours inhibits the ie-
velopment Of bacteria, or destroys from
one-half to four-fifths of those pres
ent.

that she will continue so. However
great may be her devotion to the gen.
eral cause Of learning at a given time,
before the moon wakes again that
broad affection may be particularized
and focused upon one weak and un-
worthy member of the human tribe, and
this is a phenomenon against which
no human power has yet been found
to avail. The best school teacher is
the girl who has most of the domestic
instinct and is most likely to leave the
pedagOgic calling and find her natural
and proper place as the arbiter of her
own home. 1t is pleasant to find the
ory agreeing with good sense, and the
test Of good sense is It's agreement with
the fixed and universal laws of
mother nature. The idea that the
woman school teacher Is an emo
tionless species of humanity is just
about as senseless as it is ungallant.

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
the garret 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.
By this method the freshest water re-
mains in the galvanized tank in the
garret. The pipe (G) leads from this
supply tank to wherever the water IS
required for use, to hog lots, stock
tanks, etc. By this plan there Is a
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
level it is sometimes practicable to
place the supply tank In the barn as
indicated in the smaller figure. This
makes 1t convenient to surround the
tank with packing material so that
the water does not freeze. If one will
60 a single step further and place the
main drinking tank also inside this
building, 1t makes an exceedingly con-
venient plan for watering stock in
winter, because of putting down the
lid at night it is possible to practical
ly exclude frost.

The man with the figures tells us
that In fifty years this country will
have 200,000,OO0 population, and he
wants to know what will happen. As
we will not be here we are determined
not to worry about 1t. Our ancestors
not only killed but ate each other. Pos
slbly in the remote future the old Gus
tom will become fashionable. We re-
call that in early life we met up with
one or two people we thought plenty
sweet enough to eat. The fact that this
hereditary appetite now lies dormant
Is no sign that 1t will not break ou,
again at some future time and become
quite popular.

A simple method Of finding cut the
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 dark room, the air space can
be easily discerned. In perfectly fresh
egg the air space Is very small, but as
age increases 1t extends, until, when
the egg is three 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.

Some of the weeds can be used for
food If prejudice against them does n IT

France, but it Is regarded as pest

been known in the Southern States as
edible. The common nettle, milkweed

IueTe dre MANY luulcdIlOnS InaI uDe
common notion of the farmer must be
entirely abandoned. The long whis-
kered individual who says "by heck"
has hayseed in his hair, is interested in
gold bricks, and is ready to consider
favorable propositions for the transfer
of title In the Masonic Temple In Chi
cago, Is a passing type. The last few
years have revolutlonized life on the
farm. No one can estimate how much
has been accomplished by the rural free
delivery system in changing the situa-
tion, but 1t Is the common thing now
for the farmer to receive his daily pa
per and to spend the evening looking
over the news as brought to him by
the metropolitan sheet from the city
perhaps half thousand miles away.
The almanac which once hung in the
kitchen, supplementing the Bible and
completing the home library, now has
to share with the standard magazines,
the daily and weekly papers, and the
books received from the travelling Ii.
braries sent out in several States. The
better Information makes the farmer
less stranger to the activities of the
day. The trolley car possibly passes
close by his house. The telephone con-
meets him with his neighbor and with
the stores of the village to which he
used to resort for news and for sup
plies The improved machinery has
steadily reduced the toilsomeness Of his
task. All these forces combined have
worked toward his transformation. The
| farmer of yesterday Is not the farmer
Of to-day. There has always been rec.
ognition of the Importance of the farm
ing class In the prosperity Of the coun-
try. The abundant. crops and content
ment Of the rural class have been asso-
| ciated with the health and happiness
| Of the nation. But there has always
| been, too, tendency to depreciate the
farmer as an individual, and to make
him the butt of ridicule. This condi-
ton has greatly changed because of the
reasons already indicated. When farm
ers meet in national congress and dis
cuss such live questions as those of
postal savings banks, the election of
pcstmasters, the adoption of the par
cells post system, the relief Of farm la
Dor scarcity by immigration, centraii-
zation Of schools, Capitalization of
farms, business methods in farming, II
is evident that they are alert Their
minds have been prepared for such dis
cussions by wide reading and intelli-
gent thought, and they are ready tn
reach conclusions Of value. The city
man reads his daily paper hastily. He
learns to form judgments quickly. He
trains himself to reach decisions some
times without that careful reading and
thoughtful study which the man of lei
sure gives to subject. 1t is by nc
means certain, however, that his judg
ments and decisions necessarily are bet
ter than those of the farmer, who reals
with more deliberatlon and thinks more
slowly because his life Is less affect
ed by the noise and rush. The modern
farmer Is worth appreciation. He Is
anything but the being Of carlcature.
