a plant of this sort. This required a
sewer system, but the one drain and
line Of waste pipe also sufticed for the
kitchen sink and stationary washtub.
The sewer pipe, which was four inch
close joint tile, was run down the hill
from the house into drain. No cess
pool or tank was used, but the outlet
was converted into veritable flower
garden. The only flies that congre
gate about this spot are butterflies.
To assist in absorbing all waste the
outlet is changed from time to time
and the former spot covered with
earth.
One thing is very essential, however,
for sewerage system Of this sort
that is, large vent pipe. not less
than two inches, for the toilet and
sinks. We have such pipe or pipes,
connecting them to a final line and
butting this into the brick fiue Of the
kitchen This creates an upward draft,
which sucks out and keeps the sewer
line and drain clean Of all odOr and
poisonous gases. By sprinkling chic
ride of lime in and close around the
drain now and then we are given no
trouble with this part of the system
and 1t remains continually fly proof.
AS a matter of course we have
screens at the doors and windows.
The back porch, next to the kitchen,
which is usually harbor for flies. we
completely screened in. Thus the
kitchen door can be opened when the
room is hot and filed with the smell
of cooking with no fear of the flies
swarming in Here, too, we placed
the stationary washtub.
Finally, let 1t be added, that even
with all these precautions we are Wis
tied by flies. They always come when
such things as cabbage. fish and meats
are cooked. but most of them get no
closer than the screens. A wire screen
fly killer is kept handy for the few
that chance to get in.
