Campaign in West Without
Result.

The last month. the fourth in the war.
has seen no great change in the situa-
uon. 1t has been marked, however, by
severe fighting in the trenches of south
western Belgium, desperate attacks by
the Germans upon French strongholds
along the Meuse, an attempt of the
Kaiser to recover advantages gained by
his troops in Russian Poland in October,
but lost before the end of the month,
and by some heavy naval losses by the
British.
Tho Germans have not progressed in
what was apparently their main objec-
tive in the west, an endeavor to crush
their way across Belgium to the French
ports of Calais, Dunkirk, and Boulogne
and thus menace the English coast and
British shipping. Most of the severe
fighting in the western theater of the
war has been along this portion of the
battle front. The Germans attempted
to force the allies lines both to the
north and south of Ypres, and while
they succeeded in gaining slight adj
vantases early in the month they were
later driven back by strong counter at
tacks to their original positions.
Weather Intensely Cold.
They likewise fought desperately for
the possession OF Dixmude and the User
waterway and succeeded in capturing
this town and in controlling a few hun
dred centimeters of ground on the west
bank of the river. This advantage, too,
they lost after few days. The intense
ly cold weather has practically check
ed infantry operations, and has reduced
the battle to an exchange of artillery
fire. The Germans being the aggres-
sive force. with the necessity of carry
ing the allies Position, the delay has
been viewed as a defeat TO their imme-
date plans OF campaign.
Further to the south the region from
La Bassee to the Somme has been the
scene OF severe attacks and counter at
tacks, which have resulted in no de-
cisive actions and have left the battle
front from the sea to the elbow" prac-
tically unchanged. The French made
some gains along the center and in the
Vosges and advanced their line along
the heights of the Mouse. driving the
Germans at several points across the
frontier. While st. Mihiel is still in the
possession of the Germans. the French
captured the village of Chauvancourt
and gained control of all the roads, with
but one exception, to the German bord-
cr.

Many diseases may be transmitted
by means of water, and some of the
diseases are so uniformly transmitted
by this means that they are known as
'water-borne" diseases. Typhoid, dys-
EMERY and other intestinal disorders
come under this class of diseases, and
consequently it is of the greatest i'm
portance that every precaution be
taken to insure a pure water supply,
says Bulletin No. 81 of the United
States department OF agriculture
Farm water supplies may be divided
into three classes. In the order of
their liability to pollution these are
surface supplies, shallow underground
supplies and deep underground sup
plies. The surface supplies are OBJ
tanned from streams, ponds, reservoirs
and cisterns; both shallow and deep
underground supplies are obtained
from dug, bored, driven or drilled
wells, and from springs.
The investigations of X. F. Keller
man and II. A. Whitaker of the depart
ment of agriculture, in cooperation
with the Minnesota state board of
health, indicate that of 70 carefully
selected and typical water supplies in
Minnesota 20 were good and So were
polluted. OF the polluted wells IL
were so located that even extreme
care would not make them safe; 10
were poorly located, but improvements
In the protection from surface wash
and infiltration would make them
safe; rs were bad only because of poor
surface protection and could easily be
made safe. Practically all the surface
supplies investigated were polluted.
During these investigations 20 of the
farms examined showed a record of
typhoid fever.
Surface water supplies are those
most liable to pollution, and authori-
ties agree that they are the most I'M
satisfactory for farm use. Streams
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1914-08-07

bored or driven wells are less liable
to pollution than shallow dug or bored
wells.
The safety Of water supplies when
near sources of possible surface pollu-
ton often depends largely on the char
acter and quality Of the material in
which the well is sunk. Surface wa
ters in sinking through sandy soils or
surfaces are filtered, and in the finer
sands much of the polluting matter
which they carry is frequently re-
moved. In coarser sands or gravel the
degree of filtration is less, but water
taken from sands and gravels at a
considerable depth may be considered
relatively safe. Waters from wells in
clay are not often polluted, since sur
face pollution filters through clay very
slowly.
Waters from wells in limestone are
frequently polluted, owing to the fact
that limestone soils usually contain
passages and channels at different
depths, which sometimes form a con-
tinuous passage for underground wa
ter for considerable distance, and
which are very often directly connect
ed with sinks and basins occurring
here and there on the surface. 1t is
a common practise to dump manure,
trash and garbage into such sinks or
basins, and rain water falling into
these plunges directly into the under
ground channels, carrying with it the
impurities from the basin to those
points where wells are sunk. In this
manner garbage or refuse dumped
anywhere in the neighborhood or
even at considerable distance from
a we'll in limestone may pollute the
water.

The hens are good settlers and about
as good layers as any of the larger
varieties.
We have a fine flock Of Leghorns
this year, and few Orpingtons, but
none of either for sale. During the
past two years we have been expert
menting little, and have been very
successful. The experiment was also
a matter of convenience.
The two flocks were turned out to-
gether, and the result was lot of
mixed chickens. OF course, they did
not look so nice but we are very we'll
satisfied with the cross.
For best results, however, we be-
lieve one cross is enough. Some peo-
pie say that chickens will do better
when they are "all mixed up" But
after while they are apt to resemble
a flock OF scrubs" Then where is
the advantage?
Our Leghorn- Orpingtons are some
what similar to the Rhode Island
Reds, larger than the Leghorns; more
active and better layers than the Or
pingtons. There is a great deal Of
confusion among beginners in regard
to different varieties of chickens with
similar plumage.
For instance, the Buff Orpington is
often mistaken for the Buff Plymouth
Rock, and vice versa. By the way,
the Buff Plymouth Rock is very good
general purpose chicken, superior, we
think, to the Barred Rocks, Orping-
tons or Langshans. We have kept
all these and number Of others.

make very good reading. Get posted

and ponds receive the greater part
of the surface wash from the immedi-
ate neighborhood, and in many cases
barnyard or stockyard drainage from
points remote from where the water
is taken for household use. Streams
or ponds located in pastures, MANFRED
fields or where stock can gain access
to them are polluted. Sometimes sew
age and house drainage are emptied
into streams and ponds. In fact, since
they are open and unprotected, there
are a thousand and one different
sources Of pollution. Rain waters
from the roof are polluted by dust,
dirt and leaves, which collect in the
eavetrough, and by the droppings from
birds.
Surface water supplies should there
fore not be used for household pur-
poses, unless for washing milk cans
or for laundry purposes. And it may
be safely assumed that the person who
drinks water from surface supplies en-
dangers his health if such supplies are
not first. protected from the sources
of contamination as far as possible
and then purified.
In localities where underground wa
tiers are hard to obtain cisterns may
be used for the filtration, partial puri-
fication and storage of rain water.
The size of the cistern will depend on
the number of persons in the house
aud on the general water consumption.
The cistern should be of water-tight
construction to prevent, leakage and
to prevent pollution from the neigh
boring soil. 1t should have an over
flow drain and tight cover. There
should also be suitable provision for
straining or filtering the water previ-
Gus to its entrance to the cistern.
Concrete is probably the most SAM
tary and durable material for cisterns.
In general the walls and floor should be
to inches thick and well reinforced,
and the concrete should be carefully
proportioned and mixed. A mixture
of l part cement to or 21a parts of
clean. sharp sand and or parts of
clean and fairly small crushed rock or
gravel is satisfactory for fairly water.
