Sak : Fortunately, most of Ontario's farms are weli supplied with water, | farm where it could not be secured in sufficient 'quantities by drilling to reasonable depths. The supply, there- fore, will 'probably never cause us any serious worry, but judging by a recent report on analysis of many seems justified in concluding: that | there is still need for education of the rural public in .regard to the protection and care of the farm well. The following suggestions will be found helpful to any farmer desir- ous of making his water s:pply safe against possible underground and ° The first step in the solution of is the location of the well. This outside privy. If there should be no choice in location, and this cannot be done, then the well should be kept a considerable distance from such contaminations, at least 100 feet in clay, and 200 feet or more top of the well specially protected as detailed fater against the entrance of any seepage and surface washings. | In the second place the cribbing for at least 10 feet below the surface should be made impervious to water tion reaching the well .would have well, when in all probahality it would be taken up by the soil rand never reach the well water. 'This may be done-in case of an-old well by put- ting a wall of puddled clay 1 toot thick and 19 feet deep around the well cribbing, and in case of a new- ly-dug well, or recribbing an old one, by using large concrete. tile for the cribbing and setting the joints thor- oughly in rich cement. Before the tile are placed in the well the out- cement plaster in order to fill up all impervious to soil waters. Thirdly, the cribbing should be extended at least one toot above the ground icvel and the soil banked up to the top oi it to provide good surface drainage away Irom the well. Fourthly, tue well should be provided with a strong and tight-fitting cover made of heavy plank cr concrete so that it will al- ways be safe for man and beast anda small animals like frogs, etc. jiveil better still the pump may be placed over a shallow dry well 10 one side and the top of the real well made, absolutely tight by a concrete cover. In this case the well should be ven- tilated by putting a small iron pipe, with the exposed end turning down- wards, through the top or cover. And, fitthly, the stock should not be al- | lowed to tramp about close to the well. What has been said refers chiefly to dug wells, but even the drilled or driven wells should be well drained wise contamination may work down along the well casing and reach the water, especiaily if the casing is not tightly driven into the rock below. Attention to such matters of con- struction and protection of the farm well as I have detailed and an occa- sional pumping out and cleansing of the well with a little lime will assure a pure and wholesome water supply. --R.
