It is a well-known fact that with the introduction of public water supplies in cities and town which had previously been dependent on domestic wells, the death rate from typhol diseases, has decreased to a extent. In our country districts, however, where the scattered population makes the establishment of a public water supply system impossible, the farmer y remarkable 1 ing in contaminated water.

That such a well can be a source of positive danger from typhoid, dysentery, diarrhoea ~and other disorders has been amply "proven, but still many farmers do not _ realize fully the importance of a pure : unpolluted water supply, or the danger to their families and their stock lurk- The location of the farm well is frequently faulty and denotes a lack of knowledge of the danger to health from water when there is any chance of drainage or leaking from such sure sources of pollution as barnyards, cess- pools, privy, manured fields, sink drains, etc. Not only should the well be placed at a reasonable distance from such sources of filth (say 40-50 yards), but also, if possible, on higher ground. The more porous the ground, the greater should be the distance from any contaminating source. Even when the well is removed from any source of pollution, the ground water should be made to filter through at leas 12 to 15 feet of soil before en- tering the well. Soil tends te remove germs and impurities from surface washing. The water, however, should be made to really filter through the soil by insuring that the sides of ths well, for a depth of 12 to 15 feet are! tight and imprevious to water. Thei" top naturally, should be so constructed that no contamination can possibly enter. : : Water may be seriously polluted without showing this by its taste or ap-| pearance. A bright, sparkling water is by no means a guarantees of a pure. supply.. When however, water fram a well becomes cloudy or turbid after a heavy rain, there is evidently som 3 defect, for this condition indicates that: surface washings are entering without * proper filtration. The Division of Bacteriology and Chemistry at the Central Experimental Farm will analyze water samples sub- mitted by farmers living within a reasonable distance. Application for instructions as to taking the samples should first be made. A. G. LOCHHEAD, Dom Agri. Bact.
