clstern Filter of Concrete and Stone.

ceiving filter, made of concrete, which
contains fine sand, gravel and pow
dered charcoal in layers, and from
which it empties into the cistern. The
rain-water pipe from the eavestrough
should be provided with a switch or
cutoff, so that the flow may be divert
ed to the outside-as, for instance, for
a short time at the beginning of rains
to exclude the filth collected on the
roof and cutters. An overflow pipe
should be provided in the side of the
cistern and should be screened to ex-
clude rats and other vermin.
1t is usual to distinguish between
shallow underground supplies and
deep underground supplies. Wells
from Is to 80 feet in depth to water
flowing in a layer of gravel or mud,
which rests on an impervious stratum,
are considered as sources of shallow
underground supply.
Both shallow and deep farm wells
are often polluted from local sources.
They are often located for convenience
in the barnyard, under the stable or
barn, close to stock pens, privy vaults,
or teaching cesspools, or close to the
back door, out OF which household
Stops are thrown and near which ami
NAL and vegetable refuse is often al
lowed to accumulate and decompose.
The soil surrounding the we'll becomes
saturated with organic filth and, un-
able finally to perform it's useful work
Of filtration and publication, allows
the surface water percolating through
it to carry its load of contamination
into the WELL
The well may be located at such a
distance from sources of contamina-
ton that ordinary pumping will bring
no bad results, but in case Of unusu-
ally heavy pumping the underground
water surface for a distance around
the we'll may be sufficiently lowered to
reach the zone Of contamination. Deep

ERUPTION ON SHOULDER

Lincolnville, Me.-"My little girl
was about four months old when l
first began to notice little white bis
tiers just below her shoulder. 1t be-
gan to become worse and the blisters
seemed to break and run together.
When they broke it would make a
raw sore and then she would have ter
rible crying spells. The blisters filed
with water. She was not old enough
to scratch herself but when l rubbed
1t she would stop crying and keep per-
fectly quiet. Her clothing seemed to
trritate 1t and she would be restless
and fretful. She also had real
scurvy head.

MINORCAS GOOD EGG LAYERS
Rose Comb Variety Especially Adapted
to Cold Climates-Good Word for
Rhode Island Red.

The Hamburgs and Spanish are not
so popular now as they we're several
years ago Probably because they are
very small and lay small eggs. The
Leghorns are small, also, but as rule
their eggs are of average size. They
possess a number of other good quail
ties not found In other fowls Of their
class.
This, however applies more particu-
larly to the Brown Leghorn, which
we think is superior in every respect
to the white variety. Opinions differ,
however.
The Minorcas lay large white eggs.
Their eggs are larger than those Of
any other variety of chickens, and
both the Rose Comb and Single Comb
Black Minorca are excellent winter
layers. The Rose Comb variety are
especially well adapted to cold eli
mates.
A rose comb or small compact comb
will not freeze SO readily as one that
Is thin and high. Keep this in mind.
AS a rule, farm people prefer to raise
chickens for both eggs and meat.
Then let us speak a good word for
the Rhode Island Red.
They are the farmers fowl par ex-
cellence. Good layers and good for
table use, also. Therefore, the Rhode
Island Red is the ideal general pur-
L r-ntr 4
very many Rhode Island Reds "a few
this year for the firsD, but some Of
our neighbors will keep no other kind.
Don't hesitate to try the Rhode Island
Red.
We have kept the Buff Orpingtons
and Brown Leghorhs for several'years.
The Orpington is a fine, large fowl.

Feeds for GROWING Pics.

Glover and alfalfa are too bulky to
suit the needs of the growing pigs, I'M
less they are supplemented by nitro,
genous concentrates. Cowpeas, beans
and field peas are all good feeds where
they can be grown. All localities can
produce some kinds Of feed that may
be used to advantage. Oilmeal, wheat
middlings and tankage all have their
place in economical feeding, and their
use must be regulated by the kinds of
farm feeds at hand, and their market
value.

Treatment for Sick Birds.

Quarantine or kill sick birds. If
you treat the sick, let it be done away
from the flock. Give one grain Soda
three grains subnitrate of bismuth,
two grains of powdered cinchona
bark three times a day. This is to
check the diarrhea. After the diarrhea
has been checked give a good poultry
tonic. This last should also be fed
to the flock at large. Give turkeys
sick with it the same treatment.

COUNDs good. doesn't it?
- And the best of it is it is
true. These cash dividends
are paid on every dollar you
spend, provided you spend
wisely and buy goods that
the maker believes in so
strongly that he advertises
them.
Advertised goods are not
always the cheapest SO far as
the amount asked for them
is concerned. But they are
INVARIABLY THE BEST.
And this makes them cheap
est when all things are con-
sidered.
When you buy for the same
money a better article than
you have been buying you get
a cash dividend on your pur-
chase. When you pay less for
an article of the same quality
you get cash dividend.

Among the more interesting ex-
hibits which are being planned by
the local board Of health for display
during the activities on Oct. 2, Dis

tally" map Of South Bend. The map
Will picture especially the infant
death rate, and why the death rate
among the babies in this city is far
greater than among adults.
All deaths among infants for the
first eight months of 1914 will be
shown on the map, their locations
and a printed slip bearing the cause
of the death. More than 95 per cent
of fatalities among children under five
years of age, according to DR.. Charles
S. Bosenbury, secretary of the board
of health, are caused by insanitary
conditions which surround them and
because their parents are ignorant of
the fundamental laws of life preser-
walton.
That a great percentage of deaths
among South Bends children occur
in the western and southwestern por-
lions of the city, where sanitary con-
ditions are bad. Mothers of the city
will be furnished on Disease Proven
ton day with literature and helpful
suggestions upon the care of their
babies.
The map being prepared by DR.. Bo-
senbury will show these conditions
and Will be used as a weapon toward
more prevalent knowledge in the re-
ARRANGING OF methods used in the
rearing of foreign children, particu-
larry in the west side.

were being grossly violated.

A campaign by which it is hoped
TO increase the mem bership of the

\. NJ. G. a. to surpass the enrolment
OF any other association in the state,
has been instituted by the local or
ganization and already the member
snip has been increased 10 409.
Indianapolis is the only association
IN the state having a larger number,
the enrolment there being 440. II
is thought that the numbers here Will
be increased to at least 500 as a re-
suit of the campaign. A contest is
being put on TO instill interest by the
local association in the nature Of a
race between Seattle, Wash, and New
York city by way OF the Panama
canal.
Two sides have been organized in
which more than $50 boys have been
engaged. A new member secured by
either side moves that side along on
the race so miles. a renewal counts
% miles, a suitable book for the as
ISOLATION library counts five miles, and
an attendance at the gym" counts
one mile. Every one winning an
efficiency emblem will be credited
with % miles which he can assign to
his side.
An association card case is given
to each boy securing 6. new mem
Der; an association watch fob to each
one who secures two new members;
a six months membership for all bows
who secure SEQ miles Of the route
and week at Camp Eberhart next

secures 1000 miles.
