IVATER SUPPLY FOR
THE COUNTRY HOME
Necessity Of a Good Water Supply
and Points To Be Considered In
Selecting The Source.
7. H. TALIAFERRO,
Maryland Agricultural College.


In view Of the fact that pure wa
ter in abundance is a necessity in the
country home, i IS OF interest TO con
slider in a general way the sources OF
water supply and the methods OF rem
dering il available for Use.
A plentiful supply OF pure water
adds, not only 10 the comfort OF the
home, but to the health OF the mem
bers Of the family. II tends TO make
the home more attractive, not only to
the adults, but to the children. In so
far as it accomplishes this fact, it has
a marked tendency in keeping the
young people in the country, since, in
many instances, they 90 TO the city
TO escape what they term the diseom
forts OF country life.
Sources OF Supply.
Water may be obtained from
streams, lakes, ponds, springs. and
wells. Rain water is collected from
the roofs Of buildings. Health de
mands that water for home use must
be Tree from hurtful germs. There
fore, it should be tested at intervals
TO determine its condition as TO purity
Streams, lakes and ponds are formed
by springs and the drainage from the
surrounding country. When the water
supply is obtained from such a source,
this watershed should be carefully ex-
amined to see that no center for pollu-
tion exists.
A spring should be cleaned out and
surface water drained away from it,
unless it is definitely known that such
water seeps through a sufficient depth
Of soil to filter out any impurities.
Hog pens and privies should never be
placed above a spring.
Rain water should never be stored
until after sufficient rain has fallen
to cleanse thoroughly the roofs and
cutters.
Locating A Well.
A well, particularly a shallow well
should be constructed, if possible, on
ground higher than the house site.
barnyard, cesspool, etc, so that the
drainage would be away from it. 1t is,
however, seldom possible to select
such a position for the wei, but it is
possible to locate the well from forty
to fifty yards from any source Of ponu-
ton whatsoever; and considerations
of health demand that it should be
done. At this distance any drainage
water seeping through the soil should
be sufficiently filtered before reaching
the well This is not. however, always
true, even at this distance
The necessity for thorough filtration
of the surface water before it reaches
the source of water supply is a strong
argument in favor of using deep wells
in preference to shallow ones. Fur
ther, the water from deep well is
usually cooler and more palatable.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE NEED
FOR LIME
II, J. PATTERSON,
Maryland Agricultural College

,
There have been numerous methods
proposed for determining the need for
lime and the probable quantity re
quired, none of them are very reliable
and all take more or less skill in their
application. The most reliable test is
evidenced by the crop, but this takes
considerable time. Probably the easi-
est test is the use Of blue litmus paper
for testing the acidity OF soils, and if
1t turns red rapidly it viii generally
indicate the need for lime. The blue
litmus paper test is very simple. it
is made by bringing a piece of blue
litmus paper in contact with the moist
ened soil and observing the intensity
and rapidity of the redness thus pro
duced
The general characteristics of the
land as to its derivation can not be
taken as a sure indication of the lack
or supply of lime. II is not infrequent
to find in limestone regions and on
the so-called limestone soils that ap-
plications of lime produce most
marked results This is due to the
fact that the lime Of limestone soils
has been removed in a great part
through prolonged decay and the dis
solving action Of the carbonated wa
ters. This, not infrequently, leaves
such soils so siliceous or ferrugenous
as to be quite barren and Of nature
TO be benefited by application of lime.
Throughout the Trenton Lime stone
areas in Maryland, nearly every farm
has, in years past, had its quarry and
lime-lIiln for fitting and supplying lime
once more TO soils that had been SO
thoroughly leached as to render them
lean and poor.

AEROPLANE STRONG ARM OF
FUTURE ARMIES.

On April Oath, according to dispatches,
eight aeroplanes belonging to the British
air fleet destroyed Turkish camp at Qua
tia, Egypt.
THE enemy suffered severe casualties
from bombs dropped, and from machine
gun fire" runs the dispatch
There is no reason for doubling the truth
of.the story because of the fact that the en-
gagement was of no great stratenic impor-
lance.
This is only one of many reports which
have been fi1tering in from the war showing
how wonderfully the aerop1ane is develop
ing as fighting machine AS a scouting
device it has almost supplanted all others.
tt did this from the beginning of the war.
AS means of attacking camps, supply sta
tons, and even bodies of troops, it must be
reckoned as powerful factor in future
wars.
Egype is an open country, and encamp-
ments may be peculiarly vulnerable to at
tack from the air; but the sea is open, too
and the warship is as approachab1e as any
camp can possibly be.
The troops on the battle fronts in Europe
are dug in and sheltered in trenches Elk
plosives dropped from the air may be a:
effective as those fired from cannon; but the
| airship can penetrate the lines at will TN
less stopped by other airships, while the
troops in the rear of the fighting line art

Eight aeroplanes destroyed the Turkish
camp. Suppose they had numbered so, Of
800, or 5000, or $4,000? Would they no
have been able to destroy and kill in pro
portion to the increased numbers?
No reason appears why they would not
Suppose that Germany or the allie
should suddenly take the air with 100,0Ot
aeroplanes?
| Would they not be able to disorganiz,
the lines of their antagonist so far to thu

sible for the infantry attacks to pas

six years ago, while great majority OF
those who opposed him them, IN recog-,

integrity: his unaffected courage OF con-
viction; his simple, direct candor; his I'M
usual ability and genuine craftsmanship
are now his friends and supporters.
And, because he has made good; because
he has justified the confidence OF his old
friends and has made new friends OF his
erstwhi1e enemies; because the people OF
Florida are just in their Judgment OF men
and generous in their rewards to their pub
lie servants who have proven faithful and
true. Nathan p Bryan is going toIbe re-
nominated in next Tuesdays primary,
which, of course, is equivalent to his re-
election.

Never, since Mr. Bryan has been in the
senate, has Pensacola or rural Escambia
county, called upon him that he has not re-

the people of Pensacola and Escambia
county, in appreciation of the spirit which
he has manifested toward them, will prove
that in accord with their neighbors in other
sections of Florida, they are just in their

FOR THE GOOD OF FLORIDA

The Democratic voters will tomorrow
decide who shall be the officers of the
State of Florida for the next four wears.
In deciding the personnel they will
necessarily decide to a great extent the
policy of the government; decide whether
the government shall be good or bad.
The Journal has earnestly advocated
the election of Hon. M. " Knott for gov
ernor because The Journal is in favor of
the government being good Mr.. Knott
has had the experience and the training, he
has the ability, the strength of character
and the proper conception of the duty of a
public servant to make the government
good.
The Journal is firm in the conviction that
the election of Mr.. Knott will make for
the best interest of the whole people, and
asks that every Democrat weigh the true
issues of the campaign carefully, setting
aside the false and irrelevant issue brought
forward to entrap and prejudice the.voters.
Honesty, economy and efficiency are the
essentials of good government, and with
Will Knott as governor these are guaran-
teed by his past official record
