Wells are rarely polluted by sub-soil

occur when the soil is over-burdened

Water that is polluted with dis

How to Make q Safe Well.
The casing of a dug we'll should be
made sound and tight. It Is best to
construct it Of brick laid in cement

between It and the earth should be

least 1s inches above the ground:
Around it should be built q shield Of
concrete or of brick laid in cement.
This shield should be three or four
feet wide and connected with the
casing with a tight joint.
The floor or platform of the well
should rest upon the top of the cas-
ing in such. a manner that no space
is left open into which frogs or mice
