Water Supply to Various Fixtures.

it's OF the animal and it's surrounding
local conditions. The following tables
will give a good idea, however:
Horses, 6 to IL gallons day each.
Cattle, 6 to IL gallons a day each.
Hogs, III to 2 gallons a day each.
Sheep, 1 to 2 gallons day each.
When estimating the consumption
Of water for large herds of cattle and
horses, old and young, as they are
found on the average farm, it is safe
to reckon it per "head" at minimum
of one cubic foot day; that is, about
half Of the minimum amount needed
for each person.
Every one who intends to study
water-supply problems should know
the following relations:
/. gallon equals .134 cubic feet.
2. cubic foot equals 1,728 cubic
inches.
8. / cubic foot equals 7.48 gallons.
A. 1 cubic foot of water weighs ap-
proximately 6215 pounds.
5. gallon of water weighs 8 1-3
pounds.
6. gallon contains 231 cubic inches.
z. 31h gallons make one barrel.
Chemically pure water is never
found in nature. 1t can be obtained
only by distillation. When left in con-
tact with common air, or with earthly
or organic substances, water rapidly
absorbs parts of them and becomes
impure. Ever the rain water that falls
from the clouds is not entirely pure,
but contains dust particles, ammonia,
and traces of numerous other ingred-
tents. However, as most of these adj
mixtures are harmless, the problem is,
therefore, not how an entirely pure
water can be obtained, but rather how

ers and their animals who drink it
freely are not promptly killed?" The
answer is that most germs cannot live
in the perfectly healthy body Of man
or animal. Only certain kinds of
germs have the power to live and
multiply within the larger animals.
Most of them die when they are de-
posited in the stomach; others are
harmless, and still others are neces-
sary for the purpose Of digestion. A
comparatively small number of spe-
cies produce sickness and death, and
the only way of avoiding the effects Of
their attacks is to use only pure water,
or to boil all drinking water that
comes from contaminated sources.
The refreshing taste Of springs or
we'll water is due to several causes.

magnesia, and alkali. When any OF
these are present in large quantities
the water tastes bad and is unfit to
drink. Only the practical chemist, by
means of carefully conducted expert
ments, can positively determine
whether or not such water can safely
be used. Other frequent admixtures
of water are sand or clay. These may
badly discolor the water, but they are
usually harmless.
The most dangerous contamination
Of water is produced by organic poi
sons and the bacteria or germs
microscopically small plants. These
organisms, invisible to the naked eye,
enter the intestines of man with the
water which he drinks, multiply there
at an enormous rate when the cOndi-
tons are favorable, and may produce
disorders, diseases or death. They are
the more dangerous because they can
not be seen in the water. Even if
they exist there by the million, when
examined by the eye alone the liquid
may appear entirely or nearly clear.
1t is a fact, however, that these
germs cannot live long in water which
does not contain organic substances.
In so-called surface water, i. e., drain
age water from fields, meadows or
barnyards, in water from roofs or
roads, or in water from forests and
cemeteries, they are always present.
1t is for this reason that cistern water
is not always so harmless as is often
assumed, and that water from ponds,
creeks and rivers or from the old
style open well is positively dangerous.
The question is often asked, IF
such surface water is generally pollut-
ed by germs, why is it that the farm

First, the water coming from low
stratum in the ground is nearly al
ways quite cold; second, 1t contains
much common air and considerable
quantities of the dioxide of carbon
These qualities make the water palat-
able. They can be imp;. rted to tepid
water artifcially, but not readily or
cheaply. Water can be boiled to rid
it of dangerous germs; it can be
cooled by ice, or by means of an am
monia cooling apparatus, the so-called
ice machine. Air and carbon dioxide
can be forced through water to fresh

g. Compassionate lifts, or steam
lifts, i. e., contrivances that hoist wa
ter by means of air or steam blown
into the lower end of the outflow pipe,
or into closed tanks filed with water.
3. Centrifugal pumps, or pumps that
drive up the water by means Of rap
idly revolving fan wheels-a pump
form which is used much in bridge
buildings to raise water from founda-
ton pits, and in irrigation work.
4. Suction pumps and force pumps,
or pumps that hoist water by means
Of piston action-the usual form of
hand pump and windmill pump. The
smaller kinds are single-acting pumps
and the large are double-acting
pumps.
5. Hydraulic rams-pumps which
work automatically by the energy Of
a stream of water which flows through
them.

to obtain water with an admixture
which is not harmful for the purpose
for which it is intended.
Many spring or well waters contain
large quantities of lime in solution.
This lime prevents soap from dissOlv-
ing and lathering; it makes the water
hard and almost unsuited for laundry
purposes. The chemist has means to
extract the lime from the water, but
it is process that could not be cheap
ly introduced into the household.
However, for drinking purposes, such
spring or well water is not harmful.
Other substances that are frequent

~ HERE was time when the
farmer drank his fill from the
"old oaken bucket that hung in
the WE'LL" when his bathtub con-
sisted of an abandoned wash boiler
placed out in the summer kitchen or
down in the cellar, when the water
closet was a four-foot by five-foot
Shanty planted behind the corncrib,
and when on wash days the needed
soft water was obtained from an old
barrel that stood at the corner of the
front porch; but these primitive con-
ditions are rapidly vanishing are
almost a thing Of the past. No one
argues now, as was the case then, that
one or two baths a month ought to be
sufficient for healthy person, or that
a well-lighted, well-warmed and we'll
furnished bathroom is a luxury and
an enfeebling detriment to the devel-
Opment of robust constitution, that a
water-closet in the house is unhy-
gienic, and that labor-saving comforts
in the kitchen and laundry will make
the cook lazy. We all agree on these
points. The problem is, rather, how
can we get good water in sufficient
quantity, cheaply and effectively,
where it may be needed, /. e., into the
bathroom, the kitchen, the laundry, the
front yard, and the feed lot.
The first question to be answered in
any water-supply problem is naturally,
How much water will be needed?
The answer must differ in accord
ance with the conditions involved. In
the smaller towns it is usual to place

from the roof, and cannot, or should
not, be used. This leaves about 800
cubic feet or 81 barrels, for actual use.
If we assume that the cistern is COM
pletely emptied three times year, II
gives q daily consumption of just 8
cubic feet, or 221a gallons, per family
Of five members. Some families UNI
doubtedly use twice as much or sew
eral times as much soft water as the
quantity stated, and more would be
used in many homes if the supply was
more adequate and easier to obtain.
The water reports of large cities
show much greater consumption ng-
ures, because enormous quantities OF
water are being used in factories and
packing houses and for street sprink-
ling and building purposes. The farm
err should not Of course be misled by
these city statistics. When calculat-
ing the consumption of water in the
average farm home the following con-
servative table is generally used:
To fill bathtub requires from to
20 gallons.
To flush closet, each time. from 3
to 5 gallons.
To fill lavatory, from l to IL gall
Ions.
For sprinkling lawn, per 100 square
feet, from to s gallons.
For soaking lawn, per 100 square
feet, from Is to 20 gallons.

animals depends upon the season, the

TO Speed LEGISLATION
BY ROBERT ]. BENDER
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-For two
hours President Wilson today urged
the Senate steer ng committee TO
speed up in an effort TO avoid an ex-
ira session of Congress When asked
II the failure to pass railroad legis-
lation would necesstate an extra
session, the President replied he
would never answer hypothetical
quest ons.
Following the conference. Senator
Kern stated that strike prevention
legislation was discussed IN a gem
eral way" Senator Kern said strike
leglslat on was earnestly desired 10y
the President" About the only thing
decided upon definitely was that speed
and more speed was to be the order
of the day
A tentative program has been ar
ranged as follows:
Railway bill. containing strike pre-
vention clause; Webb export bill
corrupt practices bill, water powei
bin and the Porto Ricau bill
Senator Kern insisted this program
was tentative and that nothing ha,
been definitely decided
