SEWAGE DISPOSAL ON THE FARM.
Bulletin Tells Of Up-to-date Methods
for Country Homes.

Bulletin Tells Of Up-to-date Methods
for Country Homes.
If sewage were properly handled, ~.
phoid fever aud many other diseases
would decrease greatly, according to a
bulletin just published by the University
of Missouri. The Engineering Expert
inent Station has made a careful study Of
the best methods Of disposing Of sewage
in the country.
Perhaps the simplest and most COM
mon method is by a vault dug i'll the
ground. This has many Objectionable
features. chief among which is the pos
sibility Of spreading disease. Water from
it seeping through the ground may carry
diease germs to a well or cisterh. II has
been proved that in this why germs may
travel several hundred feet. Flies also
may carry the filth and disease to food
material in the kitchen. Such a danger
may be prevented by the generous use Of
airslacked lime daily.
Another method not so ommon in
America but frequently used in England
Is the cesspool, usually built with a dry
wall of rock or porous brick SO that the
liquid may seep ont into the surrounding
soil. This is even worse than the first
method, because the danger will last
longer. Doctor Bashore said of the cess.
pool method, at is a relic of medival
tiEf1accpacc fnr ,,1,;,t go, aUC,,aa n T..
offered"
To substitute for these old and unsani
tary methods the Experiment Station has
worked out plans for several up.to-date
methods of sewage disposal. These are
designed to suit the needs of the moder.
ate priced country home whose builder
desires convenience and comfort.
The simplest method is one much used
in older countries, called dry closet.
Plans are given for a concrete catch basin
system which is said to give good results.
A system of septic tanks is described and
explained, and directions are given for
building it. Dhe matter of final disposal
Of the waste is thoroughly discussed.
Different methods of returning it to the
land is shown. There is also a section
which gives general directions for install.
ling plumbing in the country house.
Estimates of the average cost of such
systems are given.

and Sewage Disposal for Country
Homes, and its author is William c.

HANDLING SOILS IN THE OZARKS.
The Missouri Agriculture College
Demonstrates Profitable Sys-
tenn Of Farming,

A bulletin recently published by the
College Of Agriculture, University of Mis-
souri,, Columbia, Mo gives in detail the
treatment of the soils of the Ozark region
of Missouri. 1t is a region adapted to
dair, ing, to sheep raising, to the pro-
duction of hogs and stock cattle, and in
certain sections to the production of
fruit" says Prof. NJ +. Miller of the
Agronomy department of the University
of Missouri.
The chemical composition of the var
ious soil types has been determined to
show the amounts of available plant food
in the soil. This was done to aid in car.
rying on practical experiments in that
region
At the different experiment stations in
the Ozark region experiments with the
adaptability of alfalfa, use of CONNER
cial fertilizers, use of soiling crops,
handling of grasses and pastures, and ex-
perinl.nts with grains are carried OH
with great success BY means Of these
experiments the Missouri Experiment
Station is pointing the way 10 a more pro-
ftable agriculture for the Ozark country

County School Exhibits.

In a recept County Association in
Missouri, for,y-four rural schools had
prepared a display. 1t may be in
teresting to state the County Superin-
,endent had visited just forty-fve
schools and asked the teachers to pre-
pare for this work. This indicates
the readiness with which teachers
respond when the Superintendent has
some defnite feasible plan to propose.
Some of the things which appeared
in this exhibit, are worthy OF special
notices: The drawing books, illus
trated objects found on the farm such
as fruits, vegetables, live stock and
buildings. There were maps OF the
districts, county, state and continents.
There were compositions on the COW,
horse, sheep, swine and poultry be-
sides the ESSAYS" on subjects Of
literature, history and SO on.
The work on moldlng was especial

maps and clay and Plaster Paris for

In Manual Training, pupils made
~,a5els, chars, knives. wagons, pic

There were collections Of seeds,
woods. leaves. nuts, grains, insects
and stones, all Of which were found
IN the districts where they were COL
lected. One collection of insects
would have been a credit to any high
school. One school made a col

found in one district. The speci-
mems were nicely mounted and num-

manual giving the numbers and names

According to arrangements made
by Bro. Elwyn Price, W. M. Of YER
sailles Lodge, No. III, A. F. & A.
NJ, there was a large attendance Of
home members at the regular COM
mu~nication of Friday night, Jany.
9th, 1911, reinforced by a large
number of visiting brothers from the
neighbor Lodges. Bro. r. M. Hun
ter, jr., was raised to the Sublime

ferred in splendid shape, and to the
entire satisfaction Of the candidate.
After the arduous labors of the Lodge
room all present repaired to the |. o..
o. F. banquet room, where an ele-
CANT and very satisfying menu had
been prepared under the guiding care
and management of Bro. A. Pepper.
The tables were set in the form of a
cross, the room was ornately decor
ated, and ample justice was done to
the many good things offered. After
refreshments came ga feast of reason

REP. RussELLs RECORD.

Itis generally believed that Repre- sentative Russell's ambition to repre- sent his county in the legislature has been thoroughly satisfied. In other words, the disease has most likely been permanently cured on him.
 While he has made a record that he may be personally proud of, yet the fact that he was member of body that has so far failed of the expecta- tions of the people must be rather hu- initiating.
 That he has exerted the geatest in- fuence of any Republican ever elected to either branch of the Arkansas Gen eral Assembly is a fact generally recog- nized throughout the state. He fought hard for what he believed to be just recognition of the Republican party, yet he aligned himself with the admin istration supporting every measure de signed for the improvement. of the affairs of the state. Especially has this been true of him with regard to the tax system and the educational commission measures. It has been
