Pure Water in Cisterns.

1t is q common opinion that stored
water must be aired in order to main
tain its purity. But pure water is a
very fixed and unalterable substance.
Natural waters free from decaying or
ganic matter always contain oxygen in
a state of solution, and unless this free
oxygen is used up by decaying organic
matter it..does not require renewal. If
water must be freely exposed to the air
to keep pure, then we should expect
water from artesian wells. coming from
great depths beneath the soil, would be
very impure, but in reality it is excep-
tionally pure. Rainwater reaches the
earth in avery thoroughly aerated con-
dftion. Formed by precipitation in
small drops, and falling thousands of
feet through the air, it is difficult to
imagine how it could be more thoroughly
aired. If this rainwater is preserved
free from contact with organic matter
and stored in clean cisterns it will re-
main pure and wholesome, even when
entirely shut out from air. The leaves
and fragments of organic matter carried
into the oistern by the rain, and espec-
tally the matters falling into the open
cistern-leayes, sticks, insects, toads
and reptiles-may render any cistern
foul. The more open the cistern the
more liable to such contamination.
Another objection to open cisterns is
the fact that ''wrigglers' often form in
the water and the water becomes too
foul to use, to say nothing of the crop
of mosquitoes needlessly raised. This
| pest will not breed in cisterns entirely
cut off from the air IF rain-water
could be filtered before entering the
cistern so as to exclude organic matter
no need of airing the water would be
felt. A good filter might be prepared
out of sound and water-tight cask as
| follows: Place vertical and water
| tight partition in the middle of the cask
and reaching two-thirds of the way to
the bottom. Fill the cask nearly full OF
clean, washed gravel. Let the rain
water enter literally $50 as to break
the force of the fah) into one side Of
| the cask, the water flowing down
| through the gravel on one side of the
cask and up the gravel on the other
side, and thence discharging into the
cistern. All animal and nearly all veg
etable matter may be excluded by such
a filter. But whether filtered or not, a
closed cistern stands better chance to
keep clean than one exposed to the air.
Airing a eistern is usually a delusion
and snare. DR.. r. G. Kedzie, Miclzi-
gan Agricultural College.
