If there is no unexpected delay, il
seems likely that the drawing can be
held Friday or Saturday. A single DIS

Once past the crowding stage, Gener

states ceases and the examination Of
registrants and their assignment to the
army or exemption can proceed in any
state without regard to progress made
in any other community.
Ten States Not Complete.
The ten states not having completed
their preparations for the drawing arc:
Alabama, Illinois, Ne wYork, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Virginia. The group
includes the states having the largest
population and probably the total pop
ulation of all ten represents somewhers
half OF the population Of the entire
country.
The fact that reports from only 6i9

ten states the work is well advanced

Apparently it is felt that a former

ABOUT LILIES
BY e. VAN

If ordered early in September, lily
bulbs will reach you any time from
the latter part Of the month until No
vember; and it is well to have the bed
prepared in advance. Prepare the bed
now, and as the season advances cover
1t with six inches of litter Of any kind.
and then If the bulbs do not come too
late, the ground will be in condition to.
receive them when they do come.
Again cover the ground with n lit
ter, and in the early spring remove
it. Lilies like a well-drained, moist
soil, deep and well-worked over with
fine, well-decayed manure.
When the bulbs are set in the ground
a handful of sand should be placed
around each bulb and through this the
root will reach the rich soil.
In my garden 1 would have all the
lilies of the field" as we'll as thoso
of the garden. But those of special no.
tice where space and purse are limit
ed, are the pure white madonna lily,
which blossoms in May or June; the
Canada lily, which is found in our
fields and is bright crimson in color,
with dark spots, and blossoms in June
or July; the coral lily which comes
to us in May; the longi1orum multi
forum, another pure white beauty.
Then we have the speciosum, white
with a green band running through
the center; blood-red and white, tho
latter heavily spotted with darker
crimson.
The golden banded japanese lily. is
one of the handsomest and comes
just when we need 1t most, in late
summertime.

WORK AMONG THE FLOWERS
1y LIMA r, ROSE,

The rex begonia may be p~ropagated
by slashing the leaf several times
across the ribs with a sharp knife, and
laying it fiat on the cutting box. If
necessary, pin it down with toothpicks.
The leaves will rot wherever the leaf
has been slashed, and soon new plants
will appear.
Perennials sown in the summer
should have developed into good
thrifty plants by this time. Plant
where they are to bloom next summer,
or pot for the window.
Late in September pot the prim-
roses and cineraria seedlings grown in
frames. Do not allow them to become
pot-bound until they are ready to
flower.
If the mignonette is your favorite
flower, September is a good time to
insure a good supply for the holidays.
Sow three or four seeds in thumb
pots, and plunge them in a box Of
sand. Sow only the seeds of the large,
Towering kind and thin to one plant
In a pot. Repot when the pot is full
of roots until the plant is established
in five-inch pots.
Secure all the fallen leaves you can,
for they are invaluable about the gar
den. Use them as a mulch and protec-
ton for the flower beds and individual
plants and shrubs; bank pits, sold
frames and hot beds with them. Pile
them in a corner of the garden or bury
them and make leaf mold. Store them
near the chicken house, to be used for
the scratching shed.
Give transplanted flowers plenty Of
time to recoup. Do not water them too
much, or the soil will become sour
and further retard the growth of the
plant. Do not place In too warm a
window, for until the growth starts
they want to be in q shady place.
If a plant looks sickly, do not at
once begin to stimulate it with liquid
fertilizer. Do not repot it until the
the growth starts. Amateurs are liza
BILE to give too large pots.
Wandering jew, climbing nasturti-
ums, German ivy, ground pine and for
get-me-nots will grow very satisfac-
torily If the branches are cut and
placed in water. They make novel
show plants for the winter garden.

First, the water coming from a low
stratum in the ground is nearly al-
ways quite cold; second, it contains
much common air and considerable
quantities of the dioxide Of carbon.
These qualities make the water palat-
able. They can be impaired to tepid

cheaply. Water can be boiled to rid
it Of dangerous germs; it can be

these are present in large quantities
the water tastes bad and is unfit to
drink. Only the practical chemist, by
of carefully conducted expert
ments, car 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 car
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.
It is a fact, however, that these
germs cannot live long in water which
does not contain organic substances.
In so-called surface water, l. 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.
It 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 we'll is positively dangerous.
The question is often asked, If
such surface water is generally pollut-
ed by germs, why is 1t that the farm

its of the animal and its surrounding
local conditions. The following tables
will give a good idea, however:
Horses, 6 to II gallons a day each.
Cattle, 6 to IL gallons a day each.
Hogs, 1h to 2 gallons a day each.
Sheep, 1 to 2 gallons a 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 a minimum
of one cubic foot a day; that is, about
half of the minimum amount needed
for each person.
Every one who intends to study
w%ater-supply problems should know
the following relations:
1. 1 gallon equals .134 cubic feet.
2. 1 cubic foot equals 1,728 cubic
inches.
8. 1 cubic foot equals 7.48 gallons.
4. 1 cubic foot Of water weighs ap-
proximately 62h pounds.
s. 1 gallon Of water weighs 8 1,3
pounds.
6. 1 gallon contains 231 cubic inches.
z. Biz gallons make n barrel.
Chemically pure water is never
found in nature. It can be obtained
only by distillation. When left in con-
tact with common air, or with earthly
or sorganic substances, water rapidly
absorbs parts Of them and becomes
impure. Even 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 ad-
mixtures are harmless, the problem is.

to obtain a 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

the minimum consumption, exclusive
of the water needed for lawn sprink-
ling, at about 1000 cubic feet per
year for the average family of five.
This means a minimum Of 1893 cubic
feet, or about $500 gallons per month,
or about 50 gallons per family per day,
or about 16 gallons per person per day.
While this daily allowance is sufficient
during the greater part Of the year, it
is generally insufficient in the four or
five summer months. Few homes can
get along in the summer with the mini
mum quantity named, so that 5000
cubic feet is probably a closer estimate
of the actual annual consumption Of a
family Of five members.
