.SEWAOE FERTILIZER. Another Plea for Its Proper Disposition. To the Editor of The News: Sir—The communication of X Z In the Thui%day News presents the correct solution of tha dtoposal of sewage Within the next two decades the sewage of the cities and towns In our State will be disposed of in this manner and the offensive and even criminal way of casting It into the streams will be abandoned. The sewage ot tbe hospitals for the insane In our State can be easily disposed of and utilised In this manner. There can be no question about this course and it should be put Into operation as soon aa E osalble TWO of the hospitals should ave more land to carry'out this method easily. Using the sewage over the farm satisfactorily disposes of it and at the same time becomes a source of profit as a fertiliser. Through this means the State would save many thousands of dollars by raising vegetables for the inmates of these Institutions. Dr Rogers, superintendent ot -the Northern Hospital for the Insane, has clearly and positively proved this to be the correct way to handle sewage, and he haa alao shown tbe decided gain and profit to the State In thus utlllslnf It The Southern Hospital for the Insane haa been doing some preparatory work looking toward the dlspoaal of the entire sewage over the farm. With forty acres more of land added to tbe hospital farm, every particle of sewage can be disposed of to the utmost satisfaction of all, and tha profits coming from the irrigation and the sewage as a fertiliser would make a great saving to tlM Institution The disposal of sewftoe at the Southern Hospital has always been a source of trouble and annoyance to its offlciala The board of trustees Is to be highly commended for Us present arrangement, and now to go a little farther and dispose of the sewage on the farm will for all time solve the difficult problem The people are fast coming to ee# that the present way of disposing of sewage is not only very Inettlclent, but frauimt with danger to both man and beast. The way proposed by X. Z. to common sense. Is business, and humanitarian O. C. MASON. Oakland CHty. Ind. August 15. Sewage Irrigation. TO the Editor ot The News Sir—The communication and editorial on sewage Irrigation Introduces an Important and I ballev# a practical subject for the people of this city and the State of Indiana. If it is practical to establish a pumping station where tbe natural gas of the State can be delivered wherever It la wanted, or a powerhouse at any point where wa can eend the electric car spinning to all point*, a system of engines where the watar from the bowels of tha earth can be made to serve our many wants these very dry times, then It is possible and practical to do so with the sewage of every city and every public Institution. . ^ ^ If land In Callfomto can be Increased In value from tW an acre to NflO and 4600 by a thorough system of irrigation, then the beneflU from sewage irrigaUon will more than compensate feu- all money expended In astabllahing a plant for this **The**^uable articl# from X.

Bewaae Irrigation would corrert this evlL It would help the toll and add to tha wealth of avary farmer and gardener within it* reach; It would put an abundano* of the best vegetables on our tables at half tbe present eoet, and as the natuiW soli is nature's way ot dtotofecttng, let us use this element that Ood bM given us ao abundantly and make mother earth sarv* our purpose to Mother and useful way.
