Leading from the outlet of the second chamber, 

 several lines of tile 10 to 14 inches in depth should 

 be laid at a gentle slope away from the tank, 

 permitting escape of the effluent at each joint. 

 For a family of six persons a total length of 

 150 feet of tile pipe will be sufficient in most 

 types of soil. 



Food Storage. Every country home should 

 have a basement in which a room can be set 

 apart for cold storage. Such a place is suitable 

 for keeping supplies of potatoes and other root 

 crops, as well as commodities that deteriorate 

 under conditions of warmth. Surplus supplies 

 of food from the garden can be placed in such 

 storages and be readily available for use during 

 the winter. With the surplus of perishable food 

 products in cans and with a good supply of 

 non-perishable products in such a type of storage 

 room, economies in food purchase can be effected 

 and the healthfulness of the family maintained 

 through their use when fresh products are 

 difficult to secure or are unseasonable and 

 expensive. 



If a basement is not available for food storage, 

 root crops can be stored outside the house and 

 kept during the winter. These products should 

 be piled in a heap, covered with straw or Other
