prairie farms is generally not what i,
desired. There is generally quite toe
much surface water during the spring
and the latter portions of the fall, and
u great scarcity of water ut those sea-
sons of the year when it is most wanted
for stock purposes. There are in
many places creeks and bogs that con.
but it is likely to contain too many
impurities for domestic purposes as
for the use of stock. Where the sur
face of the ground is quite level there
are few streams that furnish good
water. Good springs are also scarce
Where they do exist they are likely ia
be on quite low ground that affords toe
little fall for carrying of the water.
They are accordingly likely to become
filled up, if they are neglected, as they
generally are. The water S!turatc>

about them and causes Il luNurianl
growth of undesirable vegetation. II
is often easy to clean out these Springs
and to convey the water they afford by
means Of pipes to trOughs, which can
be located on dry ground where ami.
mails can drink without sinking into
the mud. The basin cXcavatrd about
the spring can be enclosed if it is in
a pasturc-sO that cattle will not enter
it and render the waite" muddy. The
fall necessary for conveying water
through Il pipe need be but slight, pro-
vidCd ii is uniform An inclination Of
one foot in hundred is amply Suili-
cicnt to secure good flow of water.
If the pipes are composed of suitable
material, and are carefully placed in
position, an inclination of six inches
in II hundred feet is sufficient. The
pipes may he Of wood, lead. or iron.
Generally iron pipes, such as are en-
ploycd for conveying gas, will be
found to be the cheapest. The lengths
are fastened together with screw coup
lings that are easil Y adjusted. If de-
sirablc Il faucet can be fastened at the
end where the water is discharged. If
the pipes are quite small the end at
which the water enters should he pro-
