EFFECTIVENESS OF INUN DATED LAND AS MEANS OF DEFENSE The Hague.—The apparent failure of the Germans to force their way through the regions Inundated along the Yser Is making a great impres sion in Holland. The public and the newspapers cite this as a clear Indi cation of the effectiveness of inun dated land as a means of defense. The Yser inundations were improvised at the last minute, while the inundation of the province of Holland is now in complete working order. Large tracts of land difficult to flood have been submerged since the beginning of the war, while the rest of the territory is now a vast mass of wire entangle ments and deep pits provided with spikes and mines, all of which, when covered with muddy water, will he an Impregnable defense. With the present high water from the full rains the province of Holland can he turned Into a marsh within a few days, and the transport of cannon made impossible. For the first time since tin* beginning of the war the government of Holland feels safe, and Is convinced that the nations to the oast and west will hesitate before en tering an Impassable swamp which on a smaller scale Is causing such ter rible losses near the Yser.

V. ©MtGOIKY. ICopyrlght, 1310, by American Pres* Asso ciation.] ONE of the chief reasons why the girls and women of the farm have occasionally long ed in the past for the city Is becuuse of the more convenient homes that were found there. Many a farm woman has had her life shortened by carrying water from the well or the spring, bending for hours at a time over steaming wasiitubs and doing other hard labor from which the (wom en In town long ago were emancipated. Today the modern farm home Is fully as well supplied with conven iences as the house in the city, and _______ ' . r I' * ! ' OONVENIUNCE TN THK FARM HOME —A WASH ItOOM IN THIS CISt,LAH. It Is done at less cost. The reason that more homes are not provided with such conveniences is that the farmers huve grown used to doing without them. They look forward to retiring and moving to town, where they can have all the modern conveniences When they get there they will pay dearly for them In the form of house rent. To have them In the country means a direct cash outlay, und too often the farmer pleads tbnt he cannot afford It. A little figuring would con vince him that he need not do without a few of these conveniences that make life so much more pleasant for tile whole family. The tirst consideration in most parts of the country is the heating system Farmers are getting out of the habit of using stoves, as they are finding that the added convenience of a fur nace or hot water heater, together with the saving of coal or wood, will pay for the installation. With a heating system of this kind all the coal and dust incident to building and keeping up the fire are in the cellar. The whole bouse can be heated for nbout what It costs to heat two or three rooms with stoves. There Is no need of crawl ing out of bed tuto a cold room In rlie morning. A pull on the chain will open the draft, and In half an hour or so the house is warm. The kitchen also can be healed from the cellar, and au oil stove can be used for cooking An oil stove takes up less room, saves fuel uud is much more comfortable lo work over in the summer time. A furnace has the advantage of cheapness. It also furnishes fresh air to the rooms, if properly put in. For an eight room house a furnace can be put iu for about $l5O. A hot water system for the same house would cost a trifle more than twice as much. The hot wilier system has the advantages of being cleaner and keeping a more uniform heat Cheap coal will work w ell in the boiler, thus considerably re ducing the expense for fuel. The next consideration is the water system. A g)x>d water supply* under pressure is not only a convenience, but also a form of Insurance, since each farm must furnish its own fire pro tection. Some farm buildings are built now of concrete and hollow tile, but even then there Is always some danger of fire. Au elevated tank is one of the best means of supplying pressure. Rome of the modern types of silos are being built with a tank on top A method that Is as convenient, though a little more expensive. Is a pneumatic tank ltt the cellar. The wa ter Is pumped Into this and the air In side compsessed. The air pressure will lift the water to all parts of the house. For power to pump the water a wind mill may lx* used, or a hydraulic rant if running water is obtainable. The most reliable power Is n gasoline engine. Nearly every really up to date modern farm ha* its gasoline engine, which can easily be made to combine pumping with Us other duties. With n little added expense the water system can be made double, so that both hard aud soft water can be obtained. For the bathroom and the kitchen sink hot wa ter 1* needed also, which can tie pro ruled by n heater In the range or by a separate oil heater With a good water system installed the work of the housewife is reduced READ HERALD WANT ADS. BO per cent. Coni ana hut water, either hard or soft, is always at hand for nse in the kitchen. The dishes can be piled into the sink and washed in al most half the time it took previously. A wash room with permanent tubs can be provided in the cellar. The washing machine can be run with the gasoline engine or with a water mo tor. While a room of this kind may not make washing exactly a pleasure, It will reduce the labor more than half. With a little planning a small tank can be arranged in the kitchen, so that all the water that is pumped for the stock will pass through 1L This is almost as good as an icebox. A good bath and toilet room Is a great convenience to ail the family. A shower bath In one corner of the barn will be gTeatly appreciated by the boys at the close of a hot day’s work. The wastes from the kitchen sink and from the wash room can be run into a tile and taken a«ay. For the wastes from the toilet room a sewage disposal plant will have to be pro vided. The most convenient method is the septic tank. This is an under ground cement lined brick tank di vided Into two compartments. As one compartment fills it overflows into the next Nearly all the solid substance will be destroyed by bacteria, and the water that flows,out at the lower end can be disposed of through a tile drain. The entire cost of a water system such as the one described, with the com pressed air tank, together with the Bewage disposal plant need not be much more than $250. The cheapest method of lighting the farmhouse is by acetylene gas. This gas is generated by a machine in the cellar and can be piped to all the rooms and to the barn. If desired it can be used also for cooking. The average cost of Installing an acetylene plant Is about S2OO. This Includes lights in the barn and In the yard. It costs little to run an acetylene plant after It is once in. The average cost is about a cent for a sixteen candle pow er light for four hours. Acetylene is the nearest like daylight of any kind of artificial light and is Incomparably better than the old fashioned oil lamp. The newer types of acetylene lamp are provided with a battery, so that they can be lighted by merely turning a button. By going to a little more expense electric light can be had on the farm. If a gasoline engine 1s already at hand the total cost of installing an electric plant, with lights in house and barn, need not he more than $375. A few electric fans will make the house comfortable in hot weather. One convenience of the city. Ice, is still lacking. The way the ice problem is most satisfactorily bandied in the country is for half a dozen neighbors to build a co-operative icehouse. The men club together and All it in the winter, and a plentiful supply of Ice is at hand all through the summer. With a small additional expense a cold stor age room can be built iu connection with the icehouse for keeping meat, poultry, eggs and fruit. In a number of communities co-operative fresh meat societies are successfully run. The members toko turns killing a beef or a hog, and fresh meat is supplied all through the year at much less cost than it could he obtained in the city. The cost of a heating system, a wash room, a vacuum cleaner, a hot water attachment and other devices of that sort is the same In the country as in the city. The cost of the water and sewage system in the country is about $250. The cost of operating a water system lu the country is much less than the cost of city water. Au electric lighting system for the farm will cost from $375 up. The life of such a system cau he figured safely at twenty years. The storage batteries will not last so long, but the rest of the apparatus will last longer. This would mean an annual depreciation of $15.75. Interest at 6 per cent would amount to $22.50. The cost of operat ing the plant will depend, of course, on the amount of electricity used. The cost for lighting the average farm house and barn for a year and furnish ing electricity for sundry other pur poses will not average more than $lO for gasoline. This makes the total cost for electricity $41.25 a year. In the city the average cost for electricity for an eight room house is about SSO a year. The cost of an icehouse and of pitt ing up ice varies so much with condi tions that it is hard to give any gen eral figures. These can easily be ob tallied for any particular locality, how- V *- —L ctepor #O/ A asmm Vk n~i CROSS SECTION OF A SEPTIC TANK. ever.

Teu per cent for depreciation and repairs Is SIOO a year. The saving In coal will pay for the cost of run ning the lighting and water systems For $1(10 a year the fnrm home can be provided with every modern conven ience that the city home possesses. By using n furnace and nn acetylene system the annunl cost can be lowered to about SSS. The city man pays that extra $7 to sl4 u month and more In Increased rent and thinks nothing of It.

MODERN METHOD OF CATTLE FEEDING I selected in my own neighborhood a number of cows which I keep ail the year, writes an Illinois breeder In the American Agriculturist While these cows are not the best individuals, they are a fair sample of the eows found in the corn belt 1 use a pyre bred Angus bull on these grade dftvs for my feeders, because lu my opinion 1 get a better type of calves nil black, hornless, docile and excellent feeders. It has been said that a pure bred bull is half the herd, and this is espe cially true when a pure bred sire is used on grade cows. It does not make much difference which breed the sire Is chosen from. Whether he be Angus Shorthorn or Hereford he should be a pure bred and characteristic of the breed which he represents. When n farmer keeps on hand from twelve to sixteen head of cows with the same number of yearlings anri suckling calves there Is naturally quite a little expense Involved iu the w:n of pasture, grain, hay and other rough age. When laud Is soiling for S2OO i* $250 an acre it seems almost a lositi proposition to raise cattle, espeelall} when corn Is making sixty bushels t< the acre and selling at 00 cents a bushel. However, the following meth od has proved very successful with me: The calves are allowed to run with the cows during the summer and early fall months, then they are wean The Aberdeen-Angus are the cat tle of the Scottish highlanders, it Is believed that they originated some 300 hundred years ago from a cross between the Galloway and the red Durham. These cattle when well fed are always smooth and ready for slaughter. They make fine baby beef and Have won more prizes at the International Live Stock show at Chicago in recent years than any other breed. The illustration shows a pure bred Angus bull. ed and put by themselves on pasture. Later lu the season they are allowed the run of a stalk field nnd put up at night and fed a r.itlou of grain and silage. Iu this way they are kept In a thrifty and growing condition during the wluter. The next spring, about the middle of May, they are turned out on pas ture for the summer. In the early fall they are put In the feed lot nnd fed for the market. As soon as the young calves are weaned the majority of the cows are dried up and are carried through the fall and winter on pasture and the stalk fields. They also get such roughage ns Is raised on any com belt farm. To keep a cow a year Just for her calf necessitates the rais ing of n enif of the right beef type. If a cow falls below my standard she is disposed of nnd another procured in her place. A good calf at six or seven months should weigh easily 500 pounds Hogs Following Cattle. The number of hogs to follow a steer will depend on the method of feeding Borne farmers feed the steers more com than they will eat nnd run extra hogs, figuring on the hogs getting the waste. While this may be a good pol Icy when corn Is cheap. It Is doubtful If It should be practiced with high priced grain. It is usually best to fig nre on about one shoat per steer when shelled corn is fed and two when ear com Is fed. In case the com Is ground or soaked, or silage Is used, the nutn ber of hogs necessary would be less The aim should be to run enough bog* to clean up ull the waste corn. Sheep to Test Various Feeds.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3. LIVE STOCK HUSBANDRY SHEEP RAISING PAYS. Whan PropeHy Cared For They Ar« Valuable Farm Animals. Tho principles of sheep husbandry must first be learned in order to bo successful In the business and derive a profit, writes a correspondent of the American Cultivator. That sheep are valuable on a farm Is certainly true. The fertility of any land which is run down can very quickly be built up again if sheep are placed upon it For this reason the sheep has its proper name, the ‘‘golden hoof.” It may be mentioned right here that sheep will never thrive and do well If kept on low, wet, marshy land. They will al ways Improve the fertility of the land on which they ate and by co means ever lower it. It is an undisputed fact that the manure of sheep is much richer than The Hampshire breed of sheep, which somewhat resembles the Shropshire, is increasing in popu larity in this country. It has many points commending It as a farm breed. One of its strong charac teristics is the rapid growth made by tho lambs when young. Hamp shires are the largest of the me dium wool breeds. They are heavy animals and for grazing on rough land are perhaps not so well adapt ed as some of the lighter and more active breeds. The picture shows a prize winning Hampshire ram. that of other live stock, with the ex ception of that of chickens. And furthermore, they themselves spread the manure more evenly on the land than any manure spreader can do that has as yet been invented. A good heavy crop of grain, corn or vegetables may be expected when a coat of sheep manure has been applied ou the land. Another advantage of keeping sheep is that they are very fond of weeds nnd will eat some of them In prefer ence to good grass. Authorities claim that sheep will eat over 400 of the 700 different kinds of weeds which grow on our farms. Many times they will also eat the waste grass around fences and corners which is left by other stock. It is a general eomplatnt nowadays all over the country that competent labor is very scarce, but It must be said that at the time when the farmer Is busiest with his piowiug, seeding, cultivating and harvesting, his sheep will cause him the least amount of work, and thus may be called labor 6avers. If at this time they have enough grass to eat, good fresh water to drink and have access to salt at alt times they will be fully satisfied. AVOID FROZEN ROOTS. Frost Bitten Vegetables Are Unsafe Peed For Live Stock. “■Never feed frost bitten potatoes, roots or other vegetables to live stock; the risk is too great” This Is the advice or an experienced stockman who knows of the trouble nnd even losses which are almost cer tain to follow feeding frozen food of any kind. “At this time of the year farmers are often tempted to utilize waste vege tables and roots by feeding them to cores, hoptng that no harm wtU result If the roots have been frozen trouble naturally follows. “The introduction of heavy, drifted vegetable matter into the stomach of an animal naturally causes a sudden reaction, and it to not unlikely that the food value of the material Is much re duced. Stockmen cannot afford to take any chances tn feeding frozen vege tables to their bento and flocks.”—Wis consin Experiment Station. Distemper In Horses. Distemper in a horse will run a full course and cannot be stopped by the use of medicine. Any symptoms which appear should be treated according to their severity. The use of proper grain feeds and a course of tonics is about ail that U necessary In mild cases. If ab scesses appear In the region of the throat these, of course, should be open ed. well drained and the cavities Hush ed -with an antiseptic solution. As a treatment for intestinal worms give a pint of raw linseed oil to which has been added one ounce of turpentine, the same to be given for three consec utive days. Following this give a tablespoonful twice dally of a mixture of equal parts of salt powdered Iron sulphate and sulphur for ten days. Hint For Hog Raieers.
