the necessary accommodations. which
include a warm room and plenty Of
hot water.
In laying out a house it costs Very
little more to add bathroom. The
expense when building will never be
noticed; but this feature will be ap-
preciated as long as the house is occu-
pied. The question, Shall we have
a bathroom should never come up. II
there is any question about it at ALL
it should be: Shall we have one or
two bathrooms?"
Modern plumbing is SO simple that
almost any blacksmith can screw the
pipes together and: make the nee
essary connections In satisfactory
manner. Enameled, bathtubs, wash
basins and bowls may be had at rea-
sonable prices from almost all large
dealers; and they are not half as ex-
pensive as they were few years ago.
Where hard coal Is used the most

/ disagreeable kicking will be kept up
as long as the water tries to circulate.
The carrying of hot water lin the
pipes depends on what is called the
principle of the circulation OF hot wa.
ter. Warm water is lighter than cold
! water, and it quickly finds its way to
the top, so that in practice the water
is continually circulating through the
pipes. Where long hot-water pipes
are used a return is necessary to pre-.
vent the water cooling too much In
the pipes; but in small house this is
not necessary. The cooking range
would be in the kitchen directly under
the bathroom; and the pipe to the
washstand and to the bath would be
no more than six or eight feet long,
and would not hold more than possibly
quart of cold water.
1t is not necessary to have a city
water supply in order to have running
water in the house. There must, of
course. be a supply under pressure
from some source; but this may be had
from tank which is filled by a pump
either from cistern or a well. OF
course the supply must be sufficient
for the needs of the family. and 1t
should be so thoroughly well arranged
and connected, and so well adapted to
the purpose. that there will be no
shortage. with no tinkering necessary.
Water is cheap. whether hot or cold.
II the arrangements for supplying it
are adequate and satisfactory. Per.
sons living in villages or in the coun.
try today may have modern improve.
ments in better and more satisfac-
tory way than residents of cities had a
few years ago.
Modern catch basins, cesspools, sep
tic tanks. etc., have worked great
changes. If families do not avail
themselves of these modern improve
ments and conveniences to make life
pleasant they. are not living up to
their opportunities. Because our ia.
theirs or grandfathers did without such
things is no reason why we should.
Life In the county is more satisfac-
tory than living under artificial condi-
tons In town. II we have the things
necessary to make home pleasant.

for European settlement
Generally speaking, Rhodesia is not
a country for the man without cap
ital; the white population is at pres.
ent inconsiderable in numbers and is,
in a great measure, scattered over the
country on farms and in small mining
centers There are, in consequence,
no communities sufficiently large to
offer regular work to more than a very
limited number of artisans, or city Ia

successful farming necessitates min
imum capital of $4,000 to $4,000. I'm.

acre and upwards.
Laborers Live on Farms.
The labor problem is got over by
allowing number Of Kafirs to live
on the farm. They have permission
to cultivate certain amount of land
and to Craze their cattle and goats.
In return they must give the farm
er a certain amount of their time for
cultivating his land, and look after his
cattle.
II Kaflrs are scarce the farmer
will probably induce some poor white
families to locate on his farm, who
give their labor in exchange for the
privilege Of living on the farm.
They build their own houses and
cultivate enough land to give them
a living, but very seldom grow any.

after the garden and fowls, the eggs
generally going to the nearest store
in exchange for such necessaries of
life as sugar and tea
The high veldt farmer can, by Judi

sections, keep supply Of green grass
all winter. and thereby keep his cat
tie in good condition. Some follow an
other course. They hire q farm on |
the low veldt where the grass Is bet
ter in winter, and bring the stock |
by slow marches from the highlands
to the hired farm, grazing them by
the road over which they travel. AS
there are practically no fences, ex.

Is no difficulty in feeding on the way.

~, he was too late to secure for the
territory the outlet to the seaboard
without which every country is more
pr less of a dependency; says the
Montreal Family Herald and Weekly
Star.
On either side Of Rhodesia, east
and west, already extended two great
German colonies. To- the south of
East German Africa and to the north
OF West German Africa was Por-
tuguese colony, so that all hope of
gaining deep water frontage for
Rhodesia by natural extension was
cut off.
German West Africa is not a very
valuable possession, being generally
rocky. sterile, unwholesome, and
having no safe harbors. 1t pos
sesses diamantiferous blue clay"
however. which has produced some,
II so far not many, diamonds, and
the rocks may contain minerals.
Both the western and eastern col
onies receive subsidies from the
home government. But, then, the
Germans are not trained in the bust
ness of managing colonies. Under
British rule. the eastern colony. at
any rate, would have been self-sup.
porting from the first. It is fertile,
and has wide stretches Of valuable
land. Cotton does well there. Sheep
thrive as well as in Australia. There
are no fatal pests for cattle, except
Ing far inland, and the trouble is not
exceptionally serious.
In fact, German East Africa would
become a second Argentina under
really capable management.
Fine for Stock Raising.
The recent purchase of a large
tract of land in Rhodesia for the
purpose Of stock raising by an Amer
lean syndicate has drawn the attSn.
ton of the public to the possibilities
that exist in South Africa for this
industry.
II properly developed that country
would In time become a serious com.
petitor to the Argentine Republic.
which heads the worlds list today as
. meat exporter.
There would be no trouble about
summer feeding. There are large
tracts Of land on the high veldt that
are unsuitable for cultivation, being
stony by nature, which produce
good crops OF grass. five or six
months Of the year. On these at
present are grazed a limited num-
Der of cattle. sheep and goats, which |
could be very largely increased in
number we're provision made for win
ter feeding by the growing of corn, or |
other foreign crops in northern coun.
tries.
The Boer farmer Of today is |
slowly recovering from the enormous
losses he sustained In the late war,
when his sheep and goats were siaugh-
tered by the thousand and his cattle
eOmmandeered for military purposes.
Hut In few years more he should
rive his stock replenished in the nat
dfdi course OF events, unless he loses
more animals than usual through
some Of the sicknesses Of the country.
