Sewage AND DRAINAGE
SANITARY SYSTEMS ARE NEXT
IN IMPORTANCE TO FARMER.
BY Professor NJ. r. Miller, College Of
Agriculture, University
Of Missouri.

A system of running water in the
| house Is the first thing that the farm
er owes his wife and himself The
carrying OF water from a well or els.
tern, remotely located from the kitch.

has to be primed every time 1t is
used, or rope and bucket. is toe well
known to need attention, Every farm
home should be supplied with gray.
ity tank system, the water being
pumped by windmill or gasoline
engine, or with one of the more mod.
ern air pressure water supply sys'
TENS.
However the matter Of sewage and
| drainage is even more neglected than
is the water supply, and II Is next in
| importance TO the water supply. There
are various forms of septic tanks and
complicated devices for the handling
of sewage, and wherever ii is possible,
and always in the larger systems,
these should be used. For most houses
four.inch or siX-inch glazed sewer
pipe into which the drain cmpties as
1t leaves the cellar is sufficient
This glazed tile should have &C
mented joints and should extend 100
feet away from the house and al
wells. This is important. Water
seeping from sewer pipe will carry
typhoid or other infectious bacteria
through the ground for fifty feet into
the well and make the water danger.
Gus TO use, often causing disease.
When all danger from contamina.
don is past, the cost may be lessened
by using ordinary red drain tile. The
fall of this drain should be not less
than one foot in one hundred, and 1t
is better that II be two or three feet
in one hundred. For simple systems
this drain may be emptied into any
convenient low ground where the
sewage will be absorbed by the soil
II may, Of course, be emptied into a
running stream, but this is dangerous
for the people living below, for the
stream will carry germs and filth for
thirty miles.
One of the safest systems is to run
this sewage onto sand bed twenty
or thirty feet square provided for this
purpose, allowing the sewage to be
absorbed in this bed. II Is most sat
isfactory in larger systems 10 use two
beds alternately Another system is
to empty the drain tile into several
branches Of tile on a lower level, these
all running shallow and laid with open
joints. II these are all laid In sand,
SO much the better.
Whenever sewage ls disspated
through loose surface soil the odor Is
quickly absorbed and, for all small
systems especially, where n closet Is
not provided, the opening of the tile
In an open drain or any low ground
is sufficient.
The main essentials are a tile OF
sufficient size with a good fall and
cemented joints; a convenient area OF
low land on which the drain ma!
empty. Care must be taken, however,
to preserve the water supply from
any possible contamination from this
drain.

Making Cheese In olden Days.

Cheese was made by the oldtime
farmers In the summer on the coop.

ers owning say II mich cows, received
all the milk night and morning, nc
cording TO the daily yield Of their
little herd. Thus given two families
having five cows each, one with three
and one with one, supposing that the
average yield per COW was the same,
In two weeks, two owners would make
