(Contributed by Onterio Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The writer recently described In these columns how to safeguard the farm water supply against contamin- All will agree that this mat- ter should receive foremost attention. In this and subsequent articles var- ious means for getting water, whether well, spring, or cistern water on tap in the farm home will be described. In the first place I desire to emphasize the fact that it is' frequently a very common thing for the farmers' wives to carzy the water from the pump over the well to the house. be located in the labor of and without very little more labor »xpended in pumping. Distance of House Pump from Well. Note this question: When can the pump be- located 'to one side of the well, and Low far away? If the water supply is no more than 150 or 200 feet from the house, and the level of the water at the supply, say the well is never more than 20 or 22 teet below the level of the ground evel at the house, the pump may he nut inside the house, and the water irawn in quite gmatis factorily. it would not cost' very much ig make this change in the pump a [J ment, and consi what a gre FE) ing of labor and time, inconvenience, and exposure tc bad weather would be effected by merely moving the puinp inside. Pe ou have never thought of this nm . How about it? Then, too, the well can be more securely guarded from surface con- tamination than wien the pump is directly over it. : The Majority of Wells Are Shallow. In many districts of our :ouniry the majority of tae wells are shallow and within a short distance of the house, and readily lend themselves to the pumving sys'em described above. It is the nearest approach to water/on tap, and the system should be far more common in the rural districts than it is. If in the future some (ime an up-to e water tem should be in led in the homs, the water line from the houses {9 the well would be a dy installed, and no changes in would he necessary. Hints on Installation. Before passing on, a few features concerning installation of the water pipe to the well or supply should be emphasized. These are: The heat gnality of galvanized pipe should be used, the joints in the line should be absolutely air-tight, the pipe line should be deep enough to be always safe from frost, the pipe should slope sligh:ly towards the well, and there should be a check-valve and strainer on the bottom of the pipe in the wall in order to maintain the pipe line full: of water up to the pump itself and to keep back sticks, stones, ete., that might clog the pump valves. The size of the pipe (inside di should be at least one-half the dia- meter of the pump cylinder, the greater the horizontal distance water is drawn the larger the pipe. The type of pump ed may vary con- siderably. The ordinary out-of-doors pump may be used. in this case the pump would be lceated in the wood- shed, for instance, and installed over a dry well. This consists of a shal- low pit eribbed up securely in which the pump cylinder is located, and it has a tight top like an ordi y well. It would be a much easier tter to repair the pump cylirder than when pump is over the well, and much easier to protect the pump from frost in severe winter weather. A the de the house, and all [<] {pingle op double acting low down foree pump similar to the type used on threshers' water tanks might be uged. It might be located in the cel- lar or any @onve it place ingide; no dry well etn be necessary: in this cane. Have a Glcod Quality of Pump. Even the kitchen pump would gerve the purpo se very well if it were somewhat heavier in construction and better designed than the cheaper | ones of this class. Another type ; would be the whieh is fastened sgecurely to the | wall of the kitchen or pantry at one gide of sink. It is operated by a ghort handle moved back and forth in a semi-circular manner. The same pump at the kitchen sink may be used also. for pumping up the water from the cistern by having a, three- | way valve installed in the pipe line at a poin! just belsw the sink. When the valve. is get ome way, the well water @an be 'pum nto the house, when cpposite t stern or soft water can be pumped.

Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 22.--Resump- | tion of sittings of the royal gran in- { quiry will commence here Monday, land commissioners of the board have {been requested to resume their duties iby Myr Justice Hyndman, chairman, in a wire sent to his fellow-members on the commission today. Commissioner Staples made this {announcement here this afternoon, stating that he had been advised by Mr Justice Hyndman that the commis- ig would be re-convened Monday, pene 28. Asked as to what line of inquiry the commission would first pursue, Mr Staples said that was a matter to be decided when- the com- mission re-convened. The oyal grain inquiry board was constituted in June of this year, and held its first sittngs in July. Shortly after its duties were commenced the United Grain Growers, Limited, and several other grain firms, obtained an injunction restraining the commission from holding further sessions. MOTHERS TAKE PLEDGE NEVER AGAIN TO HELP IN WARS OF NATIONS NEW YORK, Nov. 23--A pledge to refuse to assst in future wars has just been taken jointly by Mrs Amelia MecCudden, the British war. mother delegate at the burial of the United States unknown soldier, and Mrs R. E. Ernest Digney, of White Plains, HN. Y., the official United States war 'mother. This became known here at a Tone cheon tendered Mrs McCudden by the New York State chapter of American war mothers. Lt. Kersley, British | recently, when with clasped hands they repeated the following: "I pledge with all my heart and soul hat so long as I live I will never again raise my hand to assist any armed conflict between nations." British mothers, Lt. Kersley said, MecCudden. did with Mrs Digney. With livestock forming, as it always will, the contributing factor in the up- keep of the fertility of the land, and of a perinament type of agriculture, there should never be a time when the portunit or lose sight of his Quality livestock for efficient produc- tion. ; In peridos of lew prices it is some- times necessary for the farmer to neglect the 'future in order to take care of the present. It may also be necesasry for a farmer who capital to follow mehtods which he would change under other conditions. But in general it is advisable to follow a system of livestock farming that will ensure a steady and ever- -increas- ing return. Such returns cannot be looked for is usually out when! he should be in, and vice versa. On the other hand, the breeder who haa high-quality productive stock, and who holds on ward when the law of supply and demand again raises prices to a pay- to increase the efficiency of the live- stock. The breeder who did not get rid of his inefficient stock when prices | for meat were at a high level missed a golden opportunity, but that is no reason why he should let them contin- ue to eat their heads off now. It would {in many cases be more economical to - i give them away than to keep them, It would be a gloomy outlook indeed if the foregoing picture had not its | sunny side as well as its dark one. : Practically every improver of live- stock must be 'continually looking out side his own herds and flocks for new blood if he is #0 continue effecting im- provement, Therein lies the sunny side; for-evem the breeder of high- clags stack has been hit, though not so 'hard as the breeder of mediocre stock--and he has had to meet the ifalling off in demand by a reduction of prices. As a consequence breeding i stock of a quality to bring about rapid (flock can be obtained at reasonable \prices. This is particularly true of sheep and swine, and to a lesser de- gree of cattle and horses. Any farmer or breeder who feels or knows that he 'is handicapped under the present con- ditions by the lack of productivity or | quality in his stock, should take steps | immediately to secure improved sires to put at the head of his herds and | flocks. Undoubtedly there is no way in which improvement can be wrought more thoroughly ,and more economi- cally than: 'through use of improved sires. : apt to happen if : SIDE-STEPPING THE ISSUE.

Every effort should be made step the issue by saying that the Gov- ernment would proceed when the finances of the country justify the ex- penditure, when the feasibility of the scheme has been demonstrated, and when the United States expresses its readiness to participate. ; Not. more than that could be said by any'man. We all know that the build- ing of the system is dependent upon all those qualifications. In reply to the same question asked i Mr King that gentleman refused to say that he would go that far should he become Premier. He did say that he would not offer a bribe to any com- munity. a mind incapable of grasping the im- portance of a great national work. It was a notice to Port Arthur, and the country at large that the fate of the St Lawrence canal system would be sealed if Mr King and his friends of Montreal ever came to power in Can- ada. If, as Mr McComber says, the deep waterways scheme is not an issue in this campaign, save here in Port Ar- thur, why do the newspapers located west of Montreal keep up a continual reference to it? . Had it not keen an issue prior to the coming of Mr King to Port Arthur, it is an issue now. His refusal to discuss the question or to state his attitude towards the project, has made it one of the vital issues in the election.--Port Arthur Chronicle.

That was the petty reply of] THEY DIDN'T CAUSE THE EXPENDITURE Mr King and his friends point to the debt of Canada when the Govern- ment of Sir Wilfred Laurier went out of power and contrast it with the pre- sent debt of the country and try to mke capital of the vast difference. Had Mr King and his friends had their way there would have been no increase in the national debt, and Can- ada would be among those countries that gave nothing to the defence of the Empire and civilization and would be ahead a stupendous sum of money. But this would have been accom-. plished at the expense of Canada's na- tional honor.
