Distinctive Town Sfvles

The time Is not far distant when
our countrysides will be dotted with
villages, each employing a distinctive
style Of architecture imparting an

fascinating fields for the architect.
and the problems to be solved have
unlimited possibilities.
A successful solution must first nre-
cinde monotony that usually is asso-

Castration of Pigs Is

In this manner by the intelligent

also to make the animals more ranid

Castrating can be practiced at a.

until long after weaving. The ono

this connection is to wean the MOS
and castrate them all at the sama

State of Transition
Mars Beauty of City

The bent of our towns and cities Il
ugliness Is no doubt an effect result
| Ing from two causes. The first and
| more important Of these causes Is the
loss of tradition and a consequent
blind uncertainty of purpose; the
second Is the state Of transition be-
tween one motive and another. Was
ever transition beautiful Never.
Shifting standards are productive of q
thousand inharmonies Every one of
our cities Is a clamorous discord.
Even where the old dirt or gravel
path between the lilacs and the CHINA
mon roses remains. ITS simple beauty
Is an afrliction. because the neighbor-
ing concrete walk or motor car track
laughs 1t to scorn. In front Of the
grave and sweet colonial dwelling,
square two-car garage squats in abso-
lutte feroclty on the very edge Of the
sidewalk. The necessary telephone
poles spoil the beauty of the surviv-
ing old trees.
Everywhere, the effort to do some
thing; everywhere, no doubt, the ef i
fort to create something beautiful, or
at least something pretty; but no
where any intelligent concurrence in
a plan. nowhere a suggestion of har-
nony. We have wonderful. splendid
buildings. and between them
rows OF one or two-story business
barracks, with poles, blllboards, va
ant lots with the rubbish Of waste

Septic Tank Makes for
Safe Sewage Disposal

In the country, where wells are used,
care should be given to a safe disposal
OF sewage. The Introduction of the
water system and modern plumbing
has brought about much greater use
OF water and a consequent question
as to the safe disposal of the increased
sewage, the New York World says.
The old-fashioned cesspool in loose
soil might be able to take care of
larger amount of sewage, while the
pores Of the more compact soil are apt
to clog with semi-solid matter and re-
quire frequent cleaning. It Is posi-
bic to place cesspool so that the sew
age will not contaminate the water
supply, but its continued safety Is
always open to question.
The improved method of sewage
disposal requires a septic tank
through which all sewage passes slow
ly and Is then distributed over a suit
able area through tile pipe just below
the surface Of the ground.
This treatment of sewage is highly
scientific and costs but little more
han the cesspool. -rhe best feature
8 that 1t Is safe. The septic tank IS
placed below frost outside, or IL neces-
AIRY In the cellar, the point being that
must not be colder than so degrees
nd pipe line connecting must be able
Q carry of and dispose of the fluid
discharged, and the tank should have
apacity enough to insure time for the
optic action to take place.
