Water Sanitation On The Farm

We all concede that water for fam
lily use must be pure. And so should
the water for the farm animals, not
only for their own health but for the
sake Of the family as well. The cow
may drink impure water and it may
not affect her perceptibly, but she may
pass its impurities on to the family.
On many farms the rain water els
tern becomes a place of vile odors in
summer. Rain water is more friendly
to organic life than well water. On
many farms this water is given to the
stock when its smell points to the need
of a thorough cleaning and should
prohibit its use. Every farm crea-
ture ought to have access to water
that comes pure from the depths of
the earth.
Even the sunlit pasture brook is not
safe drinking place for cattle if
from barnyards or accumulations of
refuse or waste. Such tributaries of
filth may operate only during heavy
rains, showing no trace during fair
weather when we saunter forth to in
spect conditions. Impurities thrown
upon the frozen ground in winter are
washed far by subsequent rains and
should be thought of. OF course, a
swift flowing brook stands a better
chance of being pure than sluggish
one. All pasture brooks should be
kept running freely by being dug
clean along their banks with no stag
nant pools for breeding disease
Standing water should be fenced away
from the cattle if it cannot be safely
drained Elk.

the rear of the dining room, with q

is a special feature Of the house in
that it's position and equipment make
it a very decided aid in carrying on
the work in this part of the dwelling.

provided to assist the housewife in the

in disposing of soiled linen. The sink
is placed conveniently near the door
leading to the kitchen. The kitchen is
large enough to assure an absence of
stiffness while meals are being
cooked. A further point of interest to
the housewife is the attractive rear

Houses of the story-and-a-half type
are being built very extensively by
those who are inclined toward the bum
galow style Of architecture, but who
do not wish to sacrifice the second
story bedrooms. In this type they are
still able to get much of the dlstlnc-
tive external beauty Of the bungalow,
yet they may easily have ample room
for sleeping accommodations on the
second floor. For those who do not
object to the first-foor bedroom, and
who do not like the inconvenience of
climbing stairs, there is usually IN
Guided in the design of such house
single bedroom on the first floor. With
such an arrangement it is possible to
meet the desires of every member Of
the family.
The artistic detail which may be in
Guided in the external design of the
story-and-a-half house cannot help but
furnish satisfaction to any ordinary
taste. The low, broad lines common
to the architecture of our western
coast may be had in many distinctly
attractive forms. The design is easily
modified to please those who are not
so strongly impressed with the popular
desire for western types. This fexi-
bility in the external style, taken to-
gether with the many conveniences
and pleasing possibilities of the in
terror design, have earned this modi-
fed type of house a just popularity.
A particularly interesting example is
illustrated here. 1t is a house of suffi-
cIent size to accommodate the average

many articles stored for use in the
kitchen.
The second floor contains three bed
rooms and a bathroom opening from
the hall, all being independent of one
another. The front and back bedrooms
are built into dormers. A double glass
door opens from the front room leading
to the open balcony, which is not only
a pleasant feature of itself, but Is also
very effective in improving the gem
eral well-balanced appearance Of the
front of the house. The third bed
room and the bathroom are built into
the tables on either side Of the hall.
Each dormer bedroom has large
closet and the gable bedroom has two
closets. A spacious trunkroom which
may be used also for general storage
room is provided. A closet with
shelves, next to the trunkroom on the
hall, provides a place for the clean
linen and other articles needed on the
second floor. The bathroom is large
and well arranged. Here again is pro-
vided the chute to the laundry room.
which proves to be an indispensable
feature in tightening the houseWork.
The external appearance OF this
house is more than commonly attfac-
tive. Special attention has been paid
to detail in the window arrangement
on the front part of the house, and a
result which is distinctly artistic has
been obtained. The long, narrow paa-
els on each side of the three front
entrances, with the small panes or
glass in all windows and doors, the
neat ratings on both the porch and the
balcony above, and the wide expansh
of porch unbroken across the entire
width of the house, are all blended
with the exposed rafters of the main
roof and the dormer roof to produce
a very pleasing house front. This eff
feet is not lost in viewing the house
from any angle, there being something
to attract attention no matter what
view is taken.
1t seems safe to predict that the flu
ture will find the story-and-a-half
house coming more and more into
prominence, both from its many posi-
bilities of exterior design and from
it's special adaptability to convenient
interior arrangement.

first floor and three bedrooms and a
bathroom on the second floor. The
front entrance is from large porch
set under the projection of the main
roof. The details Of this entrance are
exceptionally well handled, the dis

seen from the front of the house on
account of the elimination of support
