eIiRD FARM WATER
SUPPLY FROM POLLUTION
Water That Is Clear Is Not NecesSa.
riIy Pure; May contain Disease
and Poison in Solution

All is not pure water that sparkles.
Many persons confuse clear water
with clean, and think that because
water is clear and sparkling it is
necessarily pure. On the contrary.
water that appears best to the eye
may be vilely polluted. 1t may be
clear and yet contain the invisible
and deadly germs of typhoid fever or
other intestinal disorders. 1t NAV
also contain considerable poisonous
matter in solution.
A polluted water supply is evidence
of the existence of bad sanitary condi-
lions which it is of the utmost impor-
lance to remedy. The most important
consideration in connection with the
farm water supply is to get clean
water. The main source of water for
farm use are streams, springs, cist-
ems, and wells. The majority of
supplies are derived from wells and
cisterns, although springs are often
used. In rarer instances, where other
supplies are difficult to obtain, stream
water is used.
Specialists in rural engineering Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture have given considerable study

to the problem of getting pure water
supplies for the farms OF the country
They are prepared to give advice to
anyone interested in the sugject
With the growth of population and
development of industries there is
progressive pollution of streams. so
that in the more thickly settled reg
ions streams not already contaminated
or subject to pollution are very rare.
Water supplies from running streams
should, therefore, never be used for
househo d purposes unless no other
supply is available II surface water
must be used. It should be clear and
should be boiled 20 minutes. Other
processes of publication, such as
filtering, treating with chemicals. or
d.st!lling. are also sometimes used.
but under farm conditions are attend

Under ordinary conditions surfac /,

uPoH Will SuSplClOu.
Deep wells, as rule. are less
likely to be polluted than shallow
ones. Polluted surface water. how
ever, often gains access to both
deep and shallow wells at the top.
Shallow wells are often polluted
through the SOL. Deep wells may
be likewise polluted through the soil!
al through rock assures. Sound
casing is protection, but even with
this protection surface water may
follow the casing to the bottom aud
thus enter the we'll.
The logical trst step in securing
a clean well-water supply IS to re-
move all the sources of possible pol
luton. Among the worst of these are
the open privy vault. the teaching
cesspool, and barnyard filth. A well
in ordinary previous soil located lower
than and within 100 feet OF any of
these is almost certain to be polluted.
Even though the well is located Oh
higher ground than these sources of
pollution, heavy pumping or dry
weather may so lower the ground
water level that polluted or contami-
mated water will be drawn into the
we'll.
The open privy vault and leachins 3
cesspool therefore should be abandon
ed, and a sewage treatment plant or
at least a sanitary privy should be
used instead Sewage, garbage,
manure. or other wastes should never
be dumped into limestone sink holes
or assured rock, and, above all, into
old abandoned wells. An old well
used for this purpose is very likely
to communicate directly with and
pollute the water-bearing stratum
from which the other wells in the VIC
Unity draw their supply. Stops or
other waste water should never be
thrown out of the back door or win
dow upon the ground. II the pigs
and chickens must run at large, they
should at least be kept away from the

well. A box built around the pump
and filled with manure in winter is
an extremely unsafe and indecent
way to prevent the pump from
freezing.
Tight, concrete manure pits, i'm,
pervious floors, and water-tight drains
are desirable features for the farm
buildings. If they are beyond the
farmers purse, the manure pie
should at least be placed at safe
d stance from the we'll The well
itself should be located ae high DIS
possible with respect to buildings,
stock pens. and chicken yards, and
as far away from other sources of
pollution as possible.
Additional safeguards to a we'll
water supply are to give the we'll an
impervious lining of tile, brick, or
stone laid in cement, iron, or concrete.
and to provide a water-tight platform
not only to keep out surface wash,
animals, and vermine but to prevent
the pump drip and dirt from shoes
and buckets from entering the we'll.
Those who use the we'll should oh
serve the utmost care to keep the
platform and the ground about it in
clearly condition.

to get interested when the agent
told him he knew a farmer who
would be glad to pay him $50 more
than the local buyer had offered for
a little bunch Of shoats and another
man who was looking for just sucn
a pair of yearling mules as he had to
put with a bunch he was feeding for
market.
The agent saw at a glance 40 things
that were keeping father a poor.
down-trodden, shiftless farmer, but
he was wise enough to go slow on
suggesting a rotation of crops, al
falfa, a dressing of lime or tile drain
ing, and a lot of other things In
addition to improving his livestock.
He refrained from saying anything
about q silo on that visit, but he did
say he could let him in on car OF
middlings that some neighbors were

other suggestions that would not in

and Betty resulted in Runty. the pig.
catching up and then passing his
brothers and sisters, and the calf get
ting to look a lot better than any
other that had been on the place.
The agent hadn't the heart to tell
Billy that the calf would stand no
chance at the county calf-club show
and felt that better results would
come from helping him to do the
very best he could with what he
had to work with, so he arranged
for him to make the entry. His
feeding and care had given quite a
gloss to the calf's coat, and after he
had used the clippers on his tail and
sandpapered his little outstanding
horns, he thought the calf surely
looked like a winner. RUDE Mossby's
children came over and declared that
Brindy and Runty were the best-look-
ing calf and pig they ever saw, and
Minnie Crookfurrow and Tommy
Sourgrass wanted to know all about
what Billy and Betty had done. and
were keen to know how it would come
out.
When the county-fair time came

Billy was surprised. and, Of course.
to find that his calf had
to stand next to the last one, and In
deed It was frouzled-looking calf
that stood with it's little ewe-necL
and it's funny-shaped head hung low.
Billy saw that the Judge was perfec-
thy right and told him SO, but asked
him II he wouldn't tell him what was
the matter with his calf. The judge
was glad to have him show such In
terest and pointed out that inhis judg-
ment Billy as a feeder and caretaker
had really done vely well, out ne

was, to compete with those that not
