In the towns the closets are inspected by order of the board of health, and the people are gradually being per- snacled to adopt the dry earth sys- tem. Very few pits are left and no new ones are being dug. Inspection by county and township boards of health inay be impracticable, but the self-respect of farmers and their families ought to mean something in this respect, if regard to haalth means nothing, Ordinary shallow 'wells in the vicinity of the old-fashioned privy pits are almost certain to become contaminated by seepage. The soil is an excellant filtering and cleans- ing agent, oxidizing organic matter rapidly, and tending to check the development of many of the coin - mon putrefactive bacteria. But the soil is only able to dispose of a ertain amount of contaminating xnaterial, and such disposal takes time, so that by heavy reins the llth, and extends from the 8th to the 12th. Tho moon being on peri- geen on the 7th and on the celestial equator and new on the 8th, expect very prompt developments, in the form of falling barometer, change to quite warm, and followed by rain,wind and even thunder storms as early in the period as 8th to Oth. Later in the period these storms will spread to the east, and along with the rising barometer behind the storrns,an early touch of boreal -weather will come out of the north- west, attended by high, autumnal gales over the lake regions. It is possible also that delayed equinoc- tial storms may reach the southern coasts at this period. -Within forty-eight hours of nooon the 8th, seismic disturbances in many parts of the Earth need not cause .surprise. The next storm period will be central on the ltith, 17th and 18th. This is a 'mime reactionary period and. it will bring on 'a disturbed weather °audition that willl run, general change to much cooler. We have thus outlined the perio- dic storm movements for October. But these who have followed our forecasts for any length. of time know that these forecasts imply that much pleasant and open weather will be between the per- turbed periods. Even m the open - int, stages of storm periods, much oft'our finest autumn weather will occur, and immediately behind the actual area of cloudiness and pre- cipitation, cooler but fine weather conditions set in. So that instead of "storms all the time," fair to pleasant weather is to bo expected in large measure. • WHAT FLOUR A'BE YOU USING? STAR BRAND of course! None better.
