homo alie farmer means to build a new house but with little means and good skillful an old house may be made much more convenient and sanitary first of all there mut mu t be plenty of good water leandy because it is a means by which alfoot everything kiy bo cleansed from impurities but as it is a germ carrier the greatest care should be taken to have it pure and free from harmful germs if there is not a good spring from which the water cm be piped a well can possibly be bunk so eliat good water can be obtained from it in many basea a well constructed cistern is acceptable in any case the water source should bo protected from all contamination from outside sources such as dry leaves trash and dust blown about by the wind and if there is not already sufficient force the water may be carried to a tank by a pump or windmill and stored so as to have water in all parts of the hoube it 13 not a luxury to have plenty of water in alie house but a necessity for it is one of the essentials senti als of life if the water is not perfectly pure it should be filtered before used for culinary es A good filter is one mide of unglazed clay that can be taken apart cleaned thoroughly

aa well as from the dinki and baths it id best to have two cesspools ces spools one fo the closets and one for other wastes because alie do composing can do work better where there is not too much moisture after the waste material has eunk to the bottom of the pool where the ever present bacteria can begin their work the may be taken off in a pipe and used for irrigating if desired the
