IN penning this short article the writer desires to stress two main points in regard to this subject. first, the need and importance of securing an adequate and permanent supply, and, second, the installation of suitable equipment for getting the water "on tap" in house and stables end about the lawns and gardens. In regard to the supply of drinking Lir hard water. it may be said that of este many of the old shallow wells of the Province have been failing ser- aetsly. thus indicating that the water - table is not as high as it used to be. It is to be hoped that this is only a temporary condition and that many Eef these wells will soon become ser- viceable again. However, the shallow well cern seldom be relied upon abso- lutely. and so as a rule it is wise to :ink such wells deeper,. This usually leans drilline. Sometimes there is mod reason tok abandoning the old well altogether and cehoosing a. new =ire.

SHIM water will usually prove useful in re- gard to the advisability of drilling. ewer .t knowledge of tate nature, depth tunic dill of the underlying strata or rock formation may help too. Instru- ' lents for 'creating underground water, so tar as our experience goes, have not been a success in this Pro- viuce, although mash is claimed for them in some other countries differ- ing widely from Ontario in geological formation. Some individuals claim that they can ''nate underground water by means of a forked twig from :tech trees its cherry. plum. and hazel. and aeeause we have known good w !l, to be fo'rnd in this way, and teeetese prominent seientists have et 'n ;ha matter considerable atten- Intt in recent years. we are not in- • ::a. d to pooh-pooh the idea. In tome eases old wells go dry because the water veins feeding the well have become clogged. If so, a charge of dynamite in the bottom will effect a remedy. Sometimes an old dug well will sapply plenty of water for all tinte If it is dug a few feet deeper, or if the formation is sandy or grav- elly (fine) for some depth below the bottom a special filter may be sunk into a water -bearing layer of sand or gravel with good results. It is well r o emphasize the value of a good t.p. ing. If one exists reasonably close to the buildings it may be made to supply them with water if certain eondit:on obtain. In every farm home 'here should ue a large cistern either in the cellar or just outside the cellar 'call and below the ground for stor- age of rain water. This water can be need for washing purposes, bathing ,end flushing the closet. A large cis- tern at the barn and connected with the eave-troughing thereon, will sup- ply a large portion of the drinking water for the stock in the rainy per- iods. It is very essential that the supply be ample and never failing, and when this is assured steps may be confidentially taken to install water systems in order to have the water convenient about the home. The second point, namely, the dis- tribution of the water supply, is a very big one, and one about which a good deal might be written. Space will permit only the very briefest treatment, but if more details are re- quired write the Department of Agri- culture, Toronto, Ontario, for Bul- letin No. 267, entitled "The Farm Water Supply and Sewage Disposal," or the Department of Physics, O. A. College, Guelph, will gladly advise regarding any problems received by letter. (1) If the well be shallow, that is the level of the water is never more than 25 feet below the surface, or say the level of the pueap cylinder, the pump may be located inside the buildings instead of directly over the ^cell. Greater convenience would be the result of such a change. • (2) A small water tank in the at- tic of the house will make it possible to install plumbing fixtures, as sinks, batheand closet in the home. (8) Better than the attic tank sys- tem is the -compression system. A strong steel cylindrical tank is locat- ed in the cellar or. some frost -proof place, water is pumped into it from well of cisterr against air -pressure .which forces the water to all points where it is required. The pump may be operated by hand or better by gasoline engine, windmill, or electric motor. (4) If electricity be available the compression system can be operated automatically and the storage tank made so small that the water is drawn fresh from the well instead of from a large storage tank., (5) If a good spring exists on ground level with top of house. or iigher, a pipe•under the frost -line be - ween spring and house is practically ail you need in order to have the „!,ring water on tap. (6) If not°bigh enotl:gh for a^— grav-ity system the spring may possibly be .advantageously located for' installing a hydraulic rare which will pump the ,rater to a tank in house or stable or rough in yard. . It is worth while aviag'pure and -cool spring water .lWtys;on tap about the buildings. 'iue fall would be a good time to out in a system so that you will not ,e obliged to carry water another inter. First be sure that your sup - ;.y is ample for, all requirements, .end then go ahead with the install- ere of some suitable water system, ,i.ld do not forget that we are anxious to help you.—R. R.

The development of the dairy in- dustry of Canada during the past two Idecades has been surprisingly rapid. Quick to realize the profits to be de- rived from milk production and the great value of dairying in conserving the fertility of the soil, the Canadian farmer bas not hesitated to increase his investments in dairy cattle. The industry expanded during the flee years of world war. Canada, being distant from the theatres of war, although handicapped by the drafting into military service of half a mil- lion of her most vigorous mamboed, was able to continue the development of many of her important industries, particularly agriculture. It was not so in Europe. There the fiery blast of war, which left profits in some parts of the world, almost extinguished not only industry but national life itself in other. The drain upen manhood was so great that now in hundiods of thousands of families no adult males remain. Europe more. over is tilled with orphan children whose prospect of life is starred by the lack of all that is necessary to bodily and mental growth. In most eases the earning power and conse- quently the purchasing power of their families is utterly destroyed. Turning again to Canada we And there a surplus production of the e'ontuzodities that are so badly needed in Europe, Condensed milk for in- stt'noe is a t•ommodity that is a prime necessity for the ehildren of the poor 4.olnmunities of Europe but the na- tions to which they belong have no means Of purchasing it for them. The t'anatlfan Red Cross is going to endeavor to supply part of their needs by means of a general appeal for con- '•lheations to be made during Armis- rire week on behalf of the British Empire Fund, which is to be used in the humane task of relieving the sufferings of millions who are stricken by fanzine and disease. Part of the fund will be used for purchasing in Canada suitable supplies and thus the Red Cross will furnish the bridge across which some of our surplus milk willreach the enfeebled chil- dren in war -stricken areas. Those who assist will not only have the satisfaction of having contributed to relieve the sufferings of others less fortunate but by helping others will thereby indirectly help themselves, ; EVERY CHILD needs ' nourishment that not only sus- tains strength but also promotes nor- mal growth. 9 SCOTT'S EMULSION is a food -tonic that is of special significance to children..

"While we at home are intent on Industrial expansion and a place in the sun, Europe in its war -weakened condition is fighting for its very existence," said Donald W. Brown, director of the department of organi- zation in the League of Red Cross Societies of the World, which has Its headquarters at Genera, SwitzearIand. He visited Toronto to learn the peace program of the Canadian Red Cross Society and to establish closer contact between it and the league. ?Millions of War Orphans. Having just arrived from Europe, Mr. Brown was able to give the Cana- dian Red Cross some first hand in- formation concerning the people of Europe. He called attention particu- larly to the condition of the children, so many of whom are now orphans. While the exact number who nave lout one or both parents during the war cannot be determined, the most conservative estimate places the num- ber at over ten millions. This num- ber seems quits consistent with th heavy war casualties among so ftidti9' nations. Dependent Upon Charity. The condition of these children is in most cases very pitiable. Many of them have no homes and they are dependent upon whoever may be charitable and kind enough to help them. But there are few who are able to give such help for the mass of the people of Russia, Poland, parts of Roumania, Czecho-Slovakia and other countries are so poor that they have not necessaries for themselves. Consequently in the great area be- tween the Baltic, the Black and the Adriatic Seas, there are millions of children who face the next few years, and particularly the coming winter, without hope of proper care unless outside assistance is given them. Disease Prevalent. In addition to the unhappy con- dition of the children the adult popu- lations are in the direst of misery on account of disease. Suffering has been accentuated by lack of food and clothing, nursing and medical atten- tion, and tuberculosis, smallpox, typhus and dysentery are continuing unchecked. Typhus which has so often proved a scourge and menace to the human race is again prevalent, and unless checked will most likely extend its ravages to an alarming degree. British Empire Appeal. For these urgent reasons, Mr. Brown said, the League of Red Cross Societies has made an earnest appeal to the people of the British Empire and he was glad. to hear that the cause of the suffering children was. being taken up in Canada. He had learned that an appeal on behalf of the British Empire Fund would be made in Canada by the Canadian Red Cross during Armistice week .and... wished for it every success. ee stis in (meta. la its earlier days -Canada suffered en'n it,:. ravng of a disease t.11en :i..ts .vn ' ri.s -sax-1,1.1 1..ver but now known g.nk all by the mousy of typhus.
