FARMHOUSE SANITATION.

The problem OF house sanitation Is
largely solved by city residents who
have drainage from their houses direct
into good sewage systems. In smaller
towns and In the country. where such
an outlet Is not possible, the matter of
the house drainage and closet should
receive careful attention Where the
householder has the means by all odds
the best system is an indoor toilet
room. coupled with good drainage for
the seat. bath and layatory into acess-
pool Of ample size located at suf-
6cient distance from the well SO that
there cannot be any possibility OF
contamination Of the water supply
fherefrom. Where such a system is
installed pipes from the kitchen sink
should be connected with 1t. Where
means are limited or the house IL cold
and winter weather conditions are
such that the pipes are likely 70 freeze,
some other arrangement viii have to
be made While a bathtub would still
be possible. such disposal would have
to be made OF the drainage from it as
not to result In d1mpness about the
house. A satisfactory as well as sani-
fary arrangement for the closet Is the
substitution Of drawer Of ample size

that 1t may be pulled out BY single
horse. drawn to some distant spot and
empsled as often as may be neces-
sary. The place may be still further
sweetened and the danger from flies
eliminated If air slaked lime Is sprin-
killed. in the drawer during the period
OF accumulation. and incidentally the
lime will probably be good for the
land. Another respect In which the
health OF the farm home may be safe
guarded here good farming iihes
In with correct sanitation--is cleaning
out the pens. yards and feed lots as
frequently as possible and scattering
the fertilizers al once on those portions
Of the farm which are most in need of
them. There are thousands of farm
homes where few or one Of the
suggestions above made might be car
ried out and the premises be made
more sanitary. more comfortable and
more attractive as consequence.

Cynics was the name applied to a

tisthenes, a pupil Of Socrates. The
main tenet of the extreme cynics was
that civilization Is a curse. and true

appetites which man has in common
with brutes. The general attitude OF
the cynics ais distinguished from that
