Quoted by Ambassador Won Bernstorf.
Germany wants to conquer the economic
world by first running It through her ar
mics. That is the real meaning of the
Kaisers phrase Our future is on the sea
How could the United States maintain
first her economic and then her political
independence if she found herself facing
alone the greatest military and naval
power known to the history of the world.
A German victory means that there will
be no place in the world for anything
but brute force. pitiIess, unchecked. It is
thus they are reasoning in certain quar-
ters of the United States. President Will
son is not unmoved by these considera-

any the farmer deems necessary for fire protec-
tion
The plumbing system for the average farm
home should be simple and it's material and con-
struction should be durable. Water pipes should
be arranged SO as to carry the water in as nearly
straight line as possible to the point OF dis
charge. The use Of lead pipe or lead-lined re-
ceptacles for drinking water should be avoided
in small private systems
The sewer plumbing serves as a drain for the
water plumbing. The drainage system should be
SO constructed as to carry away completely every
thing emptied into It, and it should be constantly
vented, frequently and thoroughly flushed and
have each of it's openings into the house securely
guarded. ALI drains, soil pipe and waste pipe
should be water-tight and alright All plumbing
should be tested by filing with water or smoke to
detect leaks
The process Of sewage disposal described is
partly mechanical and partly bacterial consisting
Of a preliminary septic tank treatment and of
final treatment by application to natural soil
by surface or subsurface distribution, or to a
specially prepared filter.
The septic tank although alright and sup
posedly water-tight, should be located far from
the house and the well or spring convenience
anG local surroundings will permit, thus reducing
the danger of pollution or nuisance in case OF
leakage or improper operation of the system.
Contrary to the usual opinion, small sewage
systems require some watching and care. It is
in the entire plant for any signs Of clogging or
waterlogging If the sewage is applied continue
ously to the final disposal system and in such
quantities that the system is kept saturated, the
filter or disposal area becomes wateT-logged and
Sewage sick" and ceases to be effective.
grease trap is described which acts as separa-
tor of grease and sewage from the kitchen sink
or dairy room. If grease is allowed to enter the
sewer it accumulates and eventually clogs the
system.
No cost of material or labor has been quoted
In the new bulletin, since these vary considerably
with time and locality, but nothing has been
recommended which is not considered to be an
economical investment for the progressive farm
er. Progressive cities making large ex.
penditures for sanitary systems to protect the
health Of their people, and similar protection is
due the country residents.
With the help of reliable plumber or sani-
tary engineer any farmer will be able to work
out simple and economical solution for thig
problem.
