The things that one may purchase seems, indeed,; to be legion, and yet when you simmer the thing down to a certain definite eiurchase, the task, seems harder than ever. After puz- zling over the problem for. days some people end it up by madly dashing Somewhere just about the "eleventh hour" to make thepurchase that might just as well have been made early in the season.

Practical Dints on Holme Install tion Q R a —Tb Water Sevv ce 1t pes--Tlrn Fixtures -ave a Glood System of Drainage for Waaete Water. I (contributed by Ontario; Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) A plumbing ` sy"stem consists of three main parts: Water service, fix- tures, and waste pipes. The Water Service Pipes. The duty of these pipes is to con- vey the water' from the supply to the fixtures. They should be galva- nized iron of fleet -class quality,, and the size for ethe •house is 4's -inch, except the one that connects the bot water boiler to the kitchen range or furnace whithis inch in size. , Pipe is 'bought' by the foot in small quantities and by the 100 feet larg e quantities,'and the price fora galvanized ironpipe at the present time is 10. cents »per foot for the -inch and 12 cents for the 3/,t -inch. The amount required for a house is about 120 feet, but it varies with the size of the house and .the layout, particularly the location of the bath- room in relation to the kitchen, also whether soft water is on tap as well as hard water. Sections of pipe are joined together by threaded coup- lings, and red lead or a special paste is used on the threaded parts to make the joints tight and preserve the threads from rusting and becom- ing permanently set. The water in these pipes is usually under 30 to 50 pounds pressure, and all joints must be positively water -tight, particular- ly so if the pipes are laid under cors, Test the Pipes for Leaks. After they are installed and before they are covered up either under tioors or in partitions, and 'before they arecovered up for good, the water should be turned on under good pressure and a thorough teat made for leaks, not only at the joints' but all along the pipe line, as a small hole or split would cause a ser- ious leak. Be sure the man operating the threading tool knows his job and does it properly. it is very essential that the water pipes be located safe from frost, and therefore it is highly advisable to keep them away from the outside wall of the house or stable, if possible. It is particularly imperative to keep the pipes oonneating the hot water boiler to the kiteb:en range or furnace fire box trona freezing, as a stoppage in this :13iae ;-rould cause a blow-out upon the lire being started in the nioihing, and serious loss ,of life or property would likely occur, and lastlyit in very poor economy to install anything less than the highest quality of galvanized pipe, never use wrought iron pipe for water, galvanized always. Plumbing Fixtures. hese comprise the kitchen sink, 111iindry tubs, bathtub, lavatory sink, and closet. There is'a considerable variety in the style and quality of these articles, and naturally a large range in prices. You should insist on a good quality of ename3• coating on the fixtures, this is very important. The standard dimension of some of these fixtures are as follows:— Kitchen sink, 20 x 30 inches. This sink should, shave a back, and one drain board, at least, of wood or enamelled iron should be provided for, two are better. The sink should be located at the most' convenient. height above the floor for the women using it; not too low, else undue stoop- ing has to be endured. eA 6 -foot bath- tub is the standard, size. It should. be placed far enough from the wall to make easy cleaning' around it pos- sible. The lavatory sink may be se curedlin a shape either for side wall or corner installation. In the instal- lation of a closet insist on a stop- cock on the feed pipe to theank, so that if the tank needs repairing the water can be turned off just be- low• ,the, tank.; Any standard type is satisfactory. Tbe'' cost of a standard outfit is about, as follows: Lavatory sink, complete • with trimmings, . $24.50. Closet complete, $3500. Kitchen sink, 20 x 30 inches, with bibbs and trap, $23,35. Laundry tubs, $55.00. Bathtub, 41/2 or 5 feet, $66.50, or total of $204.35. The cost of, the soil pipe, water pipe and connections including labor for instaling them and the fixtnres is about $195, mak- ing a total of about $400.00. A Drainage System. This part of the plumbing system consists of the soil pipe or stack.; that extends from the sewer up through„ the house and out beyond the roof. All the wastes 'drain into this pipe and by it are carried to the sewage disposal system. Each fixture is con- nected to this main drain by a smaller pipe having a trap to keep bad odors from coming back from the sewer. The stack is 4 -inch cast-iron pipe made in 5 -foot sections, and the joints are caulked with oakum and lead. The other pipes are 2 inch and i ee inch, eitlier' iron or lead. Installing this part of this work, also the water' service pipes, is commonly known as "roughing in.' Space will. not permit of further' treatment of the subject.

I Fewgardeners realize ealr. ,e the import- ance of pulverizing the soil as deeply as it is ploughed, No matter how P g h w per- fectly the surface is prepared, if the soil is coarse and lumpy below, the.. plants will not thrive. Large air spaces in :the soil are a detriment , but a large number of very sinakl air. spaces in the Soil are a benefit.
