1t is seldom that the head Of the
household finds the sample, In most
cases they are brought into the
houses by the children and honc-
times they never reach the sF40ns

Protect Drinking Water.

\ matter of vast Importance to
farming communities is treated in the
bulletin of the United States Geclogi
cal Survey. just issued. 1t pertains
to the protection of the water supply
in country districts. 1t treats of the
menace OF typhoid fever arising from
polluted drinking water, and indicates
various sources OF pollution. giving
suggestions for means of protection.
Typhoid fever rates are usually great
CT in the country than in cities
farms. isolated as they are from con-
gested areas of population, are IDEAL
ly situated for obtaining pure and
wholesome water
Failure to protect adequately wells
in the farming district is given in the
Surveys report as the most common
reason for their pollution, and iGnor-
ance of the manner in which ground
water circulates is the cause of the
lStbllS pioltNiIbIl- tItIllltdi dIidlN Sis
is not rated high as means of de-
tecting polluted water. and it is as
serted that a careful. common sense
inspection of the district is usually
much more to the point.
Sources of pollution in the vicinity
of a we'll or spring should be noted
wherever possible, and drinking water
should not be drawn except at a safe
distance from them. The distance re-
CURED for absolute safety varies
greatly with the character of the rock.
For wells sunk in sandstone, slate
where the surface stratum is COM
posed of fine sand 200 feet should be
|alloWed: and where il is limestone or
granite much greater distances will be
necessary. Water may run polluted
IN limestone for miles. So that wells
in regions where limestone makes up
the greater part of the surface rock
should be carefully examined after
rains for mud aud floating matter, for
these are pretty sure indications of
| pollution
For protecting wells, springs. ami
cistcrns is advocated first of all, a
Water-tiGht lining to keep out surface
water. Wells and springs should all
ways be covered and protected from
animals. dust, and falling leaves.
Watering troughs should always be
| located u safe distance away. though
the custom prevails in country dis
tricts of having we'll and trough side
by side.
