Pure Water on the Farm.
From Public Health, Philadelphia.

From Public Health, Philadelphia.
To those who value their health and
that Of their family, to those who would
have strong, thrifty animals, to those who
desire pure milk and first class butter, we
would say, it is of primary Importance that
the water supply should be from source
beyond suspicion, and that this should be
carefully guarded against pollution By
experience, it has been shown that very
large proportion of well water used on
farms is polluted Generally this pollu
ton comes from the drainage of the farm,
caused by the location of the well and the
dirty surroundings. A well in a stable
yard really is making provision to collect,
as in cess pool, liquid manure. Then
the pollution to follow depends upon the
amount of manure, the rain fall and the
porosity of the SOIL Hence, never dig
well in or near the barnyard nor under the
farm buildings A well sunk at safe
distance, the brick or stone coated with
impervious cement, will be sure to prevent
infiltration of the drainage. Again,
tight fitting top, rising to at least nine in
ches above the surface of the surrounding
ground being provided, will insure the
keeping out of surface water or vermin.
The slops should never be thrown on the
soil near the we'll Finally, the well should
not be used as cold storage receptacle,
nor the dairy or other vessels washed at
the well unless there is ample provision by
IN ba xv0Gll
water A well in which the water rises
suddenly after heavy rain is doubtful as
to its water unless its surroundings are
scrupulously clean for this means that water
reaches the well without being filtered
drought large amount Of soil.
Not only is the farmer interested in this
matter, but the large communities that
draw their food supply from the country
are equally to consider it, as thus typhoid
or other diseases may by conveyed to such
homes as use the food products of these
farms. Any vegetables eaten raw from
the farm arc liable to convey infection
when the proper sanitation of the farm is
neglected.
In this connection we can state our own
experience. We called at house relative
to nuisance in the shape of a manure
pile We were met by sickly looking
boy who informed us that mother and
sister were in bed with typhoid fever and
he was just able to be about from an at
tack We were not surprised at this state
ment when we saw the stream of liquid
manure running into the well which was
but few feet away. The boy insisted
the water was nice and pure because it
looked so clear, but we gave him lesson
when we assured him this was undoubtedly
the source of the family sickness, and
water which was especially sparkling should
be regarded with doubt, as likely to be
caused by the fermentation from the pol
luton with which it was contaminated.

Spring work has been going on in good
earnest. Most of our truckers and gardeners
have sown their peas and planted their onions
and early potatoes. Grain Of all kinds is
looking very promising and grass fields are
putting forth, showing that the winter did
not hurt the grass set of last year.
The trees are budding nicely, but the cool
spring weather has kept back the peach bloom.
Many are talking of refining their arabic
lands again this spring. Lime, manure and
phosphate has certainly brought much of our
lands up to a high state of cultivatlon. Since
the days OF machinery our farmers are clear
ing their lands of stumps and stones, thus
making an unobstructed surface and making
more work for laborers.
