SAFEGUARD THE FARM WELL
Pollution From Well Water Is a Men,
ace to Be Guarded Against.

Farm wells, according TO the United
States department Of agriculture, are
often polluted from local sources.
They are often located for convent
ence near the barn or stable, or close
to the back door, out of which house
hold slops are thrown. The soil sur
rounding the we'll becomes saturated
with organic filth and allows the sur
face water percolating through IL to
carry contamination into the well.
The curbing or covering is often
loosely constructed Of boards, permit
ting small animals and vermin TO fall
into the well, and surface water carry
ing filth and manure, especially after
rains. runs into the well from the top.
Both deep and shallow wells are sub
ject TO contamination. OF III deep
and All shallow farm wells examined
in Indiana 116 of the deep well wa
tiers were of good quality, forty-five
were bad and sixteen were doubtful;
100 of the shallow well waters were
good, 200 were very bad and forty
three were doubtful
The safety of water supplies when
near sources of possible surface pollu-
ton often depends largely on the
character and quality of the material
in which the well is sunk.
The farm well, especially a shallow
dug well. should be located somewhat
above the barn yards and stock pens,
at least in such position that the sur
face drainage from all possible sources
of contamination is away from the
well. If local conditions and prices
will permit it is good idea to pro-
vide impervious floors with watertight
drains for farm buildings and stock
pens. Under the same conditions con
crete manure pits might well be pro-
vided not only to prevent the liquid
manure from polluting the neighboring
soil. but to save the manure. No gar.
bage, manure OF rubbish should be
dumped into sinks or basins in the i'm.
mediate neighbOrhood, and these should
be fenced or and kept free from pol
lut1ng matter

STACKING WHEAT.

Government experts declare
that when the wheat Is In stack
Sweating" improves the color,
condition. test weight OF the
grain and milling and baking
qualities. Stacking is particu-
larly important when thrashing
, cannot be done soon after the
cutting, because it affords better
protection at once.
Different practices are in use.
, In the east wheat is usually
stacked outside or stored In
, mows as soon as dried out in
the shock. 1t is then allowed to
} remain u few weeks or months
until thrashing can be done.
Thrashing directly from the
shock is more common practice
i'm the west. The cost of thrash
, ing from the shock is generally
somewhat less than the cost of
/, stacking and thrashing from the
stack. The farmer who does not
) have sufficient storage space for
shock thrashed grain usually
) finds il advantageous 10 stack his
