Polluted Farm Waters.

In selecting country home for the
summer special attention should be
given to the question of a pure water
supply Farms, which are generally
remote from towns, cities, or other
areas Of congested population, seem to
be almost ideally situated for obtain
ing pure and wholesome water. In
reality, however, polluted water is ex-
ceedirgly common on farms. and ty-
phOid fever rates are usually greater
in country districts than in cities. Ty-
phoid fever is transmitted largely in
drink or food taken into the stomach
and is especially likely to be commu-
nicated by polluted waters obtained
from shallow wells near spots where
the discharges of typhoid patients
have been deposited and subsequently,
carried into the wells, and ii is doubt
less principally this fact that makes
the disease so common in farming re-
gicns.
The sources Of the water used on the
farm are numerous-lakes, streams.
springs, wells Of various kinds and
cisterns-al being extensively used.
although the water from lakes and
streams is generally used only for
sock. Each Of these sources under
some conditions may WELD entirely
safe and satisfactory supplies, while
under other conditions certain Of them
may he constant menace 10 health.
OF the various sources Of water sup

nately. however, they are very seldom
used for drinking and domestic pur-
poses, being utilized mainly for stock.

pollution is not serious. though some
severe epideln.cs of disease among
cattle have been traced to pollu.e i
streams. The underground SUP pics

on the nature Of their protection
Many Of the failures to protect ade-
quately the water supplies used for
drinking arise from a lack of lnowl-
edge of the manner in which waters
circulate through the ground and the
ways IN which they MAY become pol
luted. Information on these subjects
should be of value, and il is with the
object Of supplying this information
that the United States Geological Sur

At the Battle Of Tippeeanoe.
(Kansas City Starr

The Indians returned TO the attack
with redoubled fury. An entrance into
tibet camp was effected and for a few
minutes it looked as if the soldiers
might be overwhelmed.
Many officers went down under the
fire Of the Indians. Harrison's horse
was killed. He mounted another and
quickly disposed his troops to better
advantage. When his lines were re-
established not an Indian that had
reached the camp was alive.
A story is told that illustrates the
terrible losses Of the Fourth Indiana
regiment. General Harrison, riding
furiously toward the point Of greatest
peril. encountered a mere boy with
blood-stained head working heroically
to stem the Indian attack

Another member Of that prominent
tree family known as naples. This
one is sweet, though not 50 sweet as
her sister, Sugar Maple. This one has
leaves shaped like other members Of
the family. but they are distinguished
by one particular color: the under part
Of the leaf is white. When the wind
blows through the tree in summer it
produced the appearance Of a tinsel-
decorated Christmas tree. From this
we get the name Of silver maple.
These winged seeds fail early. AZ

their part in spreading the tree. for

For that reason. the silver maple is
very popular among growers Of shade
trees 1t springs vigorously from

The wide-spreading branches OF the
silver naples make it a prey to the
winds as the wood is brittle and easily
broken.
