A branch should run to hot water boiler connected with kitchen range and then there will always be on hand an abundant supply of both hct and cold w-ater. In connection with the srnk, there should be a dripboard so that all dishwashing may be done with the water close at hand. The sink, enam- eled both inside and out, may be pro- cured at a moderate cost. This kind is most sanitary and can easily be kept clean and the trap will keep out all offen:,lve odors. In constructing the drain care should be taken to get fall enough to carry the water off quickly. The outlet should be far enough from the house so that there will be no dnager of the waste water contamin- ating the well water. If it is on a hillside there wU be no danger of the water forming a cesspool and be- com.ing the source of disease. If pro- per care is taken that nothing except water ,is allowed to pass through the drain, there will be no danger from this source as the soil will quickly absiorb it all. Another great convenience in the summer time is the refrigerator. A suitable ice house for family use may be bui'lt at j^ small cost. If the farmer docs not have a large dairy, a house 16.xl2 with a ten-foot wall will hold enough ice to last all summer. The ice may be obtained from a neighbor- ing river or lake at a small cost. Then in the summer it can be used in the refrigerator. This can be put in some converrent place and the milk, butter and other things that ordinar- ily spoil easily can be kept in it, thereby saving many trips up and down stairs to the cellar. Then the ice will be found very acceptable in mak.'ng ice cream and lemonade which are found so refreshing in hot weather. Besides these things there are the cream separator, the churn, and the washing machine, all of which may be operated by the same gasoline engine questr'on of heating the house proper ly. A furnace, either hot air or hot water, may be put in at a moderate cost. If the farmer feels that he can afford such a thin.g, he will find it a great saving in the end. In normal times he can purchase his fuel from the coal dealer cheaper than he can hire a man to cut wood. By putting in a furnace the farmer will find that „> , ,, , i i.- * „ ,i„„„ ,, ^ ,. ., , , „ , The boy would bend his face down all parts ot the house can be warmed _ ' ... , . , , , On his Ir.ttle sound right knee. law; the new ,'s founde<i in grace and self-sacrificing love. And yet faith was the fundamental fact in both. The old covenant said, "Keep the law and livci" The new says. "Believe in tha Lord Jesus Christ." The new coven- ant is written upon men's hearts, and It was Hide-and-Go-Seek they were' sealed with the blood of Christ. (Set plajnng, ! Heb. 8: R-13, and 10: 15-18.)
