THE WATER SUPPLY.
Of Man and Beast and t.
Successful Farming.

Water is the most important sub
stance in nature. Neither animal nor
vegetable life can exist without it; it
forms large part of all material sub
stances in their natural condition.
Water il as necessary to health as to
existence. 1t is also the vehicle Of
more disease and death than any
| other substance. Water for domestic
use may be healthful or it may carry
into the system many dangerous dis
eases. Let us, therefore, consider the
ordinary sources Of water supply for
family use-springs, dug wells, els
terms and bored wells. Springs that
bubble up through sand afford a fair
ly sanitary supply. if protected
against surface contamination, and
are not over-charged with salt, lime,
gypsum, sulphurated hydrogen, etc.
Absolutely pure water does not exist
in nature, because it is the greatest
known solvent of both solid and CASE
GUS substances, and a considerable
amount of mineral matter does not
render the water unsanitary. Shall
low springs are not safe as . water
supply. Water coming from river
banks is generally bad, being con-
taminated by surface seepage and the
large amount of organic matter con-
tanned in the alluvial formations,
through which it flows. Dug wells,
protected by the sand box and
notched wood curbing, are to say the
least, rs bad as pond water. There
can be no estimate made Of the
amount Of sickness and death caused
by these cess-pools. They are open to
surface pollution, to rats, insects,
frogs and snakes, and the wide open
mouth stands ready to receive any
sort Of contamination that comes
that way. Once contaminated, it is
very difficult to disinfect them, for the
body of water is so large, ranging
from so to 800 cubic feet, that, NO
matter how much may be drawn out,
some water will remain that was
there when the process began. Cis-
tern water without filtering is bad,
and bad only, and especially 30 in
cities where the filthy and contamin-
ated dust Of the streets find Judgment
on the roofs, where no amount Of
rain will wash them clean. Unfiltered
cistern water should never be used
for drinking purposes without first
being boiled. On farms, however,
where there il little dust, and that |
rarely contaminated, unfiltered rain
water is not necessarily bad. Bored |
wells are by far the safest sources Of |
supply for water for domestic use. IF |
properly made, they are free from al |
the sources Of contamination to
which dug wells are liable. The wa
ter from bored wells is thoroughly |
filtered and, If not too heavily charged
with mineral matter, is entirely sani-
tary. The bored well is easily pro-
.ected from foreign matter and easily
emptied and cleaned, by using the
Waived bucket and common sand
pump. Bored wells are also cheaper
than others, and with the improved
machines. one Of ordinary depth can
be put down in day or two days,
and any sort Of formation can be PEN
etrated with ease and certainty. In
many cases it would pay to I'LL up the
old dug well and bore one.-Texas
