Sanitation and sewage disposal for country homes

Abstract

"The demand for modernly equipped farm homes at a moderate cost is becoming an urgent one. Farmers throughout Missouri are striving to keep abreast of the times in modern methods of agriculture. Likewise they are seeking the latest and best practices in every line of activity pertaining to the industry of farming. They are demanding that their homes be equipped with the same modern conveniences that the people of the city enjoy, and it is the call from them for information on modern farm sanitation that has led to the publication of this bulletin. The greater part of the bulletin is devoted to the subject of modern sewage disposal plants for isolated houses. A portion has been given to the discussion of sewage disposal methods now employed on the farm, and still another portion to country plumbing. It is the purpose of this bulletin to present several specific designs and to call attention to the necessity of home sanitation in a general way."--Introduction
