Matkihg, Installing and Fillirig of
lie Tatlit Described.
.(dotitaltutea by Ontario Departmeot of
, Agriculture, Toronto.)
My' lasteatiel, desetlieed ho yr the
farm pump, on shall/AP-Wells may be
located inside the beese or stable,
thus doing away with the carrying
of water. ' This arrangement, of
couree, will not provide for water
Under pressure and, therefore a
completeeplumbing syStem is not pos-
sible,, nor is hot water made avail-
able. ,TO 'secure these great advan-
tages, it Is necessary to either ele-
vate the water to some form of tank
at least a few feet higher than the
highest ,fixture in the house, or pump
the water into a strong metal high
pressure tank against the enclosed
air which when compressed into
about one-half to one-third the vol-
ume of the tank will create sum-
cientspewer to force the water out
when the faucets are opened. The
first arrangement or system is us -
entity called the Attic Tank water
system, the second, the Compressed
Water System.
Why Called "Attic Tank System."
This system is popularly known as
the Attie Tank System because the
water supply tank which supplies
water under pressure is usually lo-
cated in the attic` of -the house. To
get enough pressure to force the
water through the hot 'water boiler
and the coils in the furnace or kitch-
en range and supply any fixture ac
sink or bath tub with evader at a
reasonable rate of flow, it is neces-
sary, to get the water tank a con-
siderable distance above the highest
fixture. To secure say 35 lbs, pres-
sure at the kitchen faucets the tank
would need to be at least 80 feet
higher thanthekitchen, so you see
that in order to get any pressure
worth while the tank must be lo-
cated at the highest possible level
inside the house, hence the attic lo-
cation. More pressure and hence
faster flow at fixtures may be had
by locating the ;tank outside flie
house on the top of a. high tower,
for example, just above the wind
mill, but outside tanks are not popu-
lar for evident reasons.
.The System Is Not an Ideal One.
The Attic Tank Systein has given
Pretty fair satisfaction where pro-
perly put in and cared for, and there-
forp has been really worth while. It
Is 4cnibtful, however, if many more
of Ihig type of water system will be
installed, as the more modern ones,
which' I will' describe tir silbsequent
'articles, are very much superior. The
chief objections to this system are,
first, the water tank is liable to
freeze unless well protected, the tank
ma,y spring a leak and seriously dam-
age the interior of the home and the
furnishings, the supply is not high
enough to give good pressure, you
have to wait a long time to get a
pati of water, and as the tank must
of necessity be pretty small, pump-
ing rapst be resorted to very fre-
quently in order to keep enough
Water tan hand; and lastly, the water
has to be pumped up to the tank
by hand pump and few people enjoy
pudmooprinsg even if the pumping is done
in
How to Make the Tank.
The tank itself is usually con-
structed of pine or spruce plank, ton-
gued and grooved, well held together
by iron rods and the inside lined
with Al quality galvanized iron. A
tight top should be used in order to
keep dust and dirt out of it. On one
side near the top there should be
installed an overflow pipe leading to
time outside or to a sink or some fix-
ture below, preferably in the kitchen,
so that the one -who is pumping Mat'
knew by flow from pipe when the
tank is full. The tank should be
large enough to hold at least three
or four barrels of water. In some
houses it is possible to arrange for
running part of the rain wated from
the roof into this tank, in which
ease considerable pumping is elim-
dilated.. The tank should be located
'preferably over a partition eo that
the ''Weiglat of water would not cause
a sag in the floor of the attic. A
tight metal tank about five feet long
and two feet in diameter strapped to
the, ceiling above the bathroom
might be used instead of the wooden
on.e in the attic.
The Filling of the Tank.
As etated, the tank is usually Ailed
by a hand pump located in the kitch-
en or cellar, The pump used for
this purpose naust be a force -pump
in order to lift the water to the
required level. If electricity or small
gae engine were available either
might be used to pinnp up the water.
Sornetlines the tank is filled by wind-
mill and somethnes by an hydraulic
ram operating at the spring a con-
siderable distance from the 'abuse.

(Contributed by Ontario Departntent of
Agriculture, e'orontoa
The storage of tools and machin-
ery in a generall barn is not always
ecbnonalcal. Frequently the barn has
to be cleared out during haying or
harvest storage, necessitating time re-
moval, of the implements for a leng
period of exposure. A building de-
signed and constructed for inside -
meat storage is to be desired on
every farm. The size of an' imple-
ment shed can be eletermined by
measuring the implements and then'
determining the space required by
each. Wide buildings are net usually
satisfactory, since such will incline to..
ward a storage system that requires
the. removal of several implements
in order to get the one wanted. Nar-
row buildings just wide enough to
Protect the largest implements and
wagons are to be preferred.
Should Be Centrally Located.
The implement shed should be
located as a central feature in the
farmstead group of buildings at a
point midway between the house and
barn, in such a position as to be
convenient to teamsters going to and
from fields and roads. Concrete
floors are highly satisfactory, but
not always necessary; gravel and
dry earth floors are generally satis-
factory. The walls need only to pro-
tect from. wind and sun, while the
roof, if it will keep out the rain
and dust, is satisfactory. This means
a cheap structure, made up of 2 x 4 to
2 x 6 inch boards and prepared 'roof-
ing paper. The, wall framework can •
be constructed of. 3 x 4 or four -inch
poles set on 24 -inch centers. Sheds
Planned to be 16 feet or mor,e in
widta, should have 2 x 6 rafters if
the roof is of one slope. , Rough
board sheeting and battens well nail-
ed will make a desirable and strong
wall, quite good enotigh to shelter
the farm Machines and tools.
How to Make a Good Foundation.
The foundation should be firm,
and can lie easily made by setting
half barrels in line and level, and
then filling up with cement concrete.
Such make excellent teundations. An
inset .of 2 a 4: in the eement to spike
the sills to is very essentiel in windl)
localities. Implement houses may be
built with one side open, or one side
may be made up of doors, hale of
which .are hung on an inside track
and half on an outside track. This
double track arrangement for door
hanging permits the opening of a
door at any point, which is an im-
portant feature, -L. Stevenson, Sec-
retary, Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto,
ARE THE IMPLEMENTS READY?
A Question That the Prudent Farmer
Will Keep In Mind.
With tillage and harvesting mach-
inery in idleness during the winter
period and with farm men not as
busy as they are during the spring
season, it is good management to see
that all implements and tools are
put into the best condition possible.
Odd hours of the day during the
winter on many farms are always
available for such repair work. Such
spare periods can be very profitably
used in going over all machines and
making good any wear and tear,
tightening bolts and rivets, putting
in new parts where needed; painting
to protect against rust and weather-
ing, have done much to prolong the
tiSefulness' of farm- tools. Many
hours and many dollars are,lost each
Year through tools and implements
being neglected. Ploughs, binders,.
mowers and rakes .left in the fielda
or in the farm yard or along- the
fence row `or in the orchard have
worn out or rusted out years before
their time. Fifty per cent, efficiency
is too low for any inaplement or tool
in which we have invested eapital.
One hundred per cent-. efficiency, from
farm implements and tools comes
only to those who take care o1. their
implements. Provide protection from
weather when not M use and keep
them clean, sharp and tight. The
rush of spring WOric is seriously hin-
dered by the ploughs being ,rtistY,
loose or out ef adjustment, by the
harrowe being dull, by the grain
drill andthe roller being out of re
pair when such should be in the field
and in use: A little attention to the
implements during February and
March will save hours and dollars in
April and May. -L. Stevenson, Sec-
retary Dept, of Agriculture, Toronto.
Keeping Celery.
At a constant temperature of 32
degrees Fahr., celery can bo kept for
several mOnths, and placed on the
market as fresh looking as the day
it was cut. Recent experiments at
the Ontario GoVeraMent Cold Stor-
age Statien at Brighton, bear out this
Statement, whieh knowledge will
prove Of inlmense value to groWors.
TO obtain the best reSults frOm
'cold storage, celery should be well
OTOWn, partially bleached, cut with
part roole on, With a little rough-
age left for protection; and finally,
cut, hauled and placed in cold
storage the same day.

ba 041 ate Deoartment of
Agrlooltot:•. Toronto.)
A pullet requires more feed than
a leen, te it is intended that the
pullet shall produce eggs. A bird
to lay well ulna have a surPlus of
feed over and above body mainten-
ance. The excess of feed above body
maintenance goes either towards
growth, fat, pr egg production. Why
the pullet requires ,more feed than
the hen is because her growth is
usually not complete when she be-
gins laying.
Poultry prefer wheat and corn to
almost any other grain, but a lot
depends on what they were fed when
growing. Certain feeds they never
have seen they do not relish, usual-
ly, when first fed. Hence one per-
son's hens eat oats or barley much
better than their neighbor's. The
available grain feeds on the farm
are corn, buckwheat barley, and
oats. Good wheat cannot be used.
The non -milling wheat, such as that
which is sprouted, or very small, may
be used up to twenty-five per cent.
of the ration.
Poultry feeds are divided into
two classes; one, whole or creaked
grains, commonly called scratch
feed; and the other, ground grains,
commonly called mash.
Scratch feeds are generally fed
night and morning, and are scat-
tered in straw in order to induce the
birds to scratch or take exercise. A
mixture of two or more kinds of
grain usually gives better results
than one single grain, largely . be-
cause individual birds' appetites vary
from dad to day. A good mixture for
the winter month might contain as
much as fifty per cent. good corn,
either whole or cracked; if corn
could , not be had, and the birds
were accustomed to eating buck-
wheat, the buckwheat would answer
nearly as Well, or one could use
twenty-five per cent. buckevbeat and
twenty five per cent corn. To the
corn or buokevheae could be added
twenty-five per centof barley, ten
Per cent. of wheat screenings, and
fifteen per centof good oats. If
one was obliged to do so, almost any
of the grains could be fed alone
with tthe exception of oats. There
is too much hull or husk on oats
to use entirely as a single feed.
At present for a nia,sh feed we
are using the standard hog feed. If
the ground.grains are to be fed moist
or mixed with cooked household
refuse then the mixture should be
one that will mix to a crumbly state,
but if fed dry in an open hopper the
above is not so important.
The mash teed is the one where
the animal meals are generally
given. The anicunts vary from ten
to twenty per cent. of the mixture.
The animal meals used are Celli-
monly high, grade tankage and beef
scrap. Where one has plenty` of
skimmilk or buttermilk , the other
animal feeds are unnecessary. Some
use green cut bone; cooked refuse
meat, such as fivers, lights, beef
heads, etc.
A very- good masa can be made
of one part each by measure of
shorts, barley meal, and ground
oats. C,orn meal could be used in
the place of the barley or with it.
If one is short of green food or
roots, it would be well to add one
part of bran. Perhaps the simplest
ntash to feed from an open hopper
is rolled or crushed oats. We have
used this, when the birds had milk
to drink, for a number of years with
excellent results.
Laying hens require plenty of
green feed. This green, succulent
feed, is very ''important. Too much
grain and no green food, at tines
is very dangerous. ,!,Cabbage is one
of the best' green feeds. Roots are
very good, but clover leave e should
be within reach as well as 'the root.
Sprouted oats are used to a large
extent on poultry fa,rms. When the
birds get accustomed to it green and
succulent food it is generally wise to
give- them all they will eat. A pen
of fifteen pullets will eat a fair-sized
head of cabbage almost every day,
or one hundred liens will eat a peck
of sprouted oats da a after day.
Keep your pen sweet end elese,
but not drafty. Give the hens plenty
to eat and some variety to Inc feede.
If you are -regular in feeding -lad
kind in your manner, the hens us-
ually respond with very fair egg
P1 oduction.

GASOLINE TURNS -IRE- EARTH
Motorboats Are Replacing Gondolas in
Venice, and Even the Windmills
In Holland Disappear.
Motorboats in Venice, replacing the
gondolas are not the only meclumical
profanation that is coming in to disap-
point future Americtrn travelers in Eu-
rope. A letter from Amsterdam tells
us that the Dutch windmills are being
replaced by mills operatekby stews
and electric power. Every year csoute
of the old windmills are burned, sad
they are not re -erected. Time linty,
come when it few windmills will be
'treasured as relics in Holland; just as
Mealier structures are still preserved
on Aquidneck and Nantucket lalstreds
for their curious interest, says the
Boston Transcript. Already wind/agile
of American construction, with steel
fans arranged in wheels, instead of
the picturesque old wooden arms, had
begun'to make their appearance, even
in Holland. The metallic windmill.
with the revolving wheel, is more pic-
turesque than the ordinary steam or
water power mill, but it is not so Pies
turesque as the old wooden afiadr8.
On our western prairies and plains the
tall windmills, with their big metal.
wheels spinning high in the air, are
indeed a fine- feature In the monot-
onous landecape, but even they are in
danger of yielding to the process of
pumping water by means of gasoline
motors. The power of the wind, to
be sure, costs nothing, while that of
the gasoline motor may cost a good
deal, but there are times when no
wind blows, and the househelder time
of waiting for it to rise. Less and
less we are coutent to attend upon
torces of nature. The beautiful sails
are vanishing from the seas, to be re-
placed by balcaing smokestacks. On
land windmills give place to stracturee
operated by steam :led electricity. The
stalwart oXen are no longer seen at
the farmer'plotir ; it is gasoline that
turns the earth now, Homeward the
tinweary motor barks its way?
