is possible, if the room is over a pan-

cover them by a false ceiling made of

Another advantage of keeping the

lem, Perhaps its only the man who
really installs the plumbing who sees
the faults in the design and who
knows how to rearrange the work so
as to get better results with less labor
and a smaller amount of piping.
Suppose your house is an old one,
and that you now have only It Well -in
the yard or in the cellar under the
house: Find out how much water it
will flow; that is, measure the amount
of water you can draw without lower-
ing the water level. Keep on doing
it until you see the water going down
below a mark, and you will have a
easonably accurate knbeviedge of the
amount of water you have for all pur-
poses. Then if you want to provide a
water supply to your barns as well as
to your house you ean buy equipment
able to handle the amount of water
available.
If there is any possibility of the
well being polluted iby seepage of
drainage .from barns or other sources
of pollution, either look for a new
source of supply or remove the danger
by proper drainage arrangements.
Don't take chances. A competent
plumber can apply a tolor test which
will remove all doubt if pollution is
suspected.
If there is a spring which will sup-
ply water to your place by gravity,
pipe the water from it. -It,„will provide
a more certain supply, and you wain

Locating the Kitchell Sink
' When you look for a place to locate
your kitchen sink, consider these
points: It should bafar enough away
from the stove so that you can work
at it in coinfort. It should be located,
not in front of a window, but, if pos-
sible, along a wall at right angles to
it, so that the light will be unobstruct-
ed. If placed in front of a window it
is hard to prevent pipes from freez-

Eliminating the Poor Cow.
The object of cow testing is to give
the dairyman accurate knowledge as
to the production of milk and fat or
each cow in the herd. It is readily
admitted that the average cow does,
not produce as much milk as she is
capable of giviag, and many dairymen
keep ane or - more cows that do not
even pay for their keep. Cow testing
Shows which coevs are 'WOrth keeping

those that should be eliminated from
the herd. "The progress of cow test-
ing," bulletin 58, Dairy and Gold Stor-
age Series by A. H. White, B,S.A.,
shows that, many fanners rely 021
guess work to pick out their best tows
from whieh to save heifer calves far

guesses are Mot correct, cows which
have good conformation are not al-
ways the best producers in the herd.

work, and the fanner can safely pelect
