Size of Tank Required.

Although the odor from a small
septic tank is practically unnoticeable,
yet it is best to locate it at least a
hundred and fifty feet from the house.
Choose a spot where it can be sunk
to ground level and will be out of dan
ger of flood waters. The tank should
be large enough to hold the entire
sewage for one day. For family of
eight to ten, plan a concrete tank of
two compartments each by by 5
feet long. Since the top and bottom
are each a inches thick and the divi-
sion and sidewalks 8 inches, dig the
pit a feet inches deep, feet inch
es wide and IL feet long.

While Merinos are recorded as be-

The C type, or Delaine Merino, is
larger and less wrinkled than the
other types. In rams two good-sized
folds on the neck are desired, while
the body is sometimes quite smooth.
Length of wool is demanded in this
type, together with as much of weight
and fineness as can be combined with
it. Some C type flocks have consid-

If you did not separate the cocker
els from the pullets last month, do so
now at once. Put the cockerels that
you do not want for breeding and that
are not extra nice on a fattening diet
and push them. The pullets for win
ter laying demand a different ration.
There is nothing better than dry
earth to use on the dropping boards
under the roosts. After cleaning the
dropping boards sprinkle with dry
earth, then you will find them much
easier to clean each time. The earth
will not impair the value of the drop
pings, but improve them.
A good supply Of clean, sharp grit
should be always accessible to the

The materials required for the tank
described above are p cubic yards
of crushed rock, 2s4 cubic yards of
sand and barrels of Portland ce-
ment. If good pit gravel is used, no
additional sand will be required.
When the septic tank is two weeks
old it may be put to use. 1t will need
cleaning at intervals of two to three
years. BY its use the health of the
family will be protected and life in
the country home will be made much

The American MerinO.

The statements previously made
apply equally to the A. b, and {
types of Merinos. In the A and Il
types the body is considered only so
far as is necessary to secure the vigor
and stamina needed to enable the
sheep to produce a heavy fleece of
fine wool. Some breeders are now
giving more attention than formerly
to strength of top line and heart
girth. The A type is the extreme in
size and number of wrinkles as well
as in the fineness of wool. On ac-
count of the wrinkles the A type is
not considered desirable for CONNER
cial wool raisers.
Merinos of the B type are stronger

account OF the long. open fall, too. the
turkeys had not suffered from cold and

The worst thing that The Pacific coast

TO sell their apple crop this fall. Said
Mr.. Mellen:
Through the northwest states growers
are getting hardly enough for the apples
to pay for the marketing. These apples
down through central territory have had
to como In competition with the apples
grown here and in the east and as a re-
suit there has been big slump In prices.
The result OF low prices on fruit in
the northwest is going 20 drive a lot Of
the fruit growers out Of the business and
they will turn their attention to grain,

and then they will begin TO make money.

BIG LAND DEAL.
A Former Mexico Man Makes
Great Purchase.

The following innocent little
item appeared in the St Louis
Republic Saturday, which means
great things for this city, com.
ments the Louisiana (Mo.) Times
this week:
j. Robert Boatman Of Belize,
British Honduras, Central Amer
lea. has bought 1000 acres in
the Mississippi River bottoms
near Louisiana, Mo-, and will
build a dyke to protect the land
from overflow. He was at the
Planters Hotel yesterday. He is
a son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. n. Boat
man of Mexico, Mo-, and was
reared in Audrain county. He
has been interested in mahogany
and chicle shipments from Hon
duras the last few years.
This deal has been on for some
time and we congratulate Com
modore Geo. T. Pettibone, who
sold the land, on his successful
termination of one of the largest
land deals ever pulled off in this
part of the state.
The land is known as the Block
land and the southern line is
about two miles north of this city
across Salt River. 1t is said that
a bridge will be built across the
river and when the dyke, which
begins just South of Ashburn, is
completed that nearly all of the
5000 acres of land will be divided
up into farms and sold.
AS no definite information is at
hand or will be for a few days,
just what will be done is all con
JectlOnS.
The deal was closed last night
and Mr.. Boatman took immc-
date possession. The work of
improving will begin at an early
date. Commodore Pettibone is
doing his best to have Mr.. and
Mrs. Boatman to move to this city
and we hope he will succeed.
