FARM WATER SUPPLY
IMPORTANT QUESTION
Well Should Be So Located as
to Avoid Pollution.
CISTERN OF GOOD ADVANTAGE

The drinking water is one of the
most important things in q farm
home. II it contains too much min
eral matter health may be injured, OF
the we'll may become contaminated
Such diseases as typhoid and dysen
terry are carried in water. Care must
be used that no pollution can seer
into the we'll. This requires that the
we'll be placed as far as possible from
outhouses, cesspools and barnyards as
convenience will allow. and also
above them, so the drainage will be
away from the we'll. 1t should be
graded up around the we'll, so that
no surface washings can get into it
The area from which water seeps
into we'll depends on the depth OF
the we'll. the nature of the soil and
substance and the amount of water
used. The more water used the
greater the distance it is drawn from
The cistern can often be used to
good advantage. 1t should be water
tight to prevent leakage and to pre-.
vent pollution from the soil. A filter
should be provided, and the best
form is to either make brick cham.
Der into which the water passes first,
or else make brick partition in the
cistern. In either case the water
mus: pass through the brick wall,
which filters it. The charcoal filters
are not as satisfactory. They also
need frequent renewals
Even when the we'll water is good
for drinking purposes cistern wate,
is better for washing.
Care in locating the we'll in rela.
ton to sources Of contamination, and
grading up around it SO no surface
water can run into it, may save many
cases of sickness and its accompany.

MAKING ALFALFA HAY.
Great Care Should Be Exercised IL
Curing Product.

A little study shows why great care
should be exercised in making alfal-
ia hay. Unlike true grasses. the
leaves readily fall from the alfalfa
plant as soon as they are dry. Leaves
are the richest portion of the plant
and contain much the higher percent
age of protein Without the leaves
the alfalfa plant would be but little
more valuable than ordinary grass
hay. Great care then should be exer-
cised to save all the leaves possible
in making alfalfa hay.
After the plants are cut, while the
leaves are wilted but before they are
dry. the leaves draw the moisture
from the stems of the plants. AS
soon as the leaves become dry they
cease drawing moisture from the
STEM Therefore hay is best cured
If the leaves are left in wilted con.
dition. This is brought about by al
lowing the hay to cure in the alb
sence of sunlight. A large part of
the curing should be done, then. in
the windrrow and in the cock. When
the hay is allowed to cure in the
swath, even the necessary handling
of the hay to get it onto the wagon
brings about great loss Of leaves.
This loss should be prevented when,
ever possible.
With these principles in mind the
alfalfa hay, if cut in the morning,
and with a yield of one to one and
one-half tons per acre. will be ready
to rake and bunch in the afternoon,
if conditions for hay making are good.
With a ::ght cutting of alfalfa the
rake may follow the mower within
three or four hours. The hay should
be raked up while still green, before
it has become dry.
