The same truth applies to wells on the fum. The fumlly that uses a well or spring subject to contamination Is almost surely destined to tnste the dregs of sorrow and suffering for having drunk its disease-ladeoutput Investigations. mnde by the United States department of agriculture Indicate that only a small r minority of supplies can be classed as unqualifiedly safe and desirable. On the averfour Tam wells are located withage three out-oin 75 feet of a hack door (jf the house and In the direction of tie barnyard. That convenience and first cost, not safety, have been the deciding factors In such cases Is made evident by the nearness of barnyards, pig pens, pastures, fertilised fields, sink drains, privies, cesspools, and areas rendered Insanitary bv chickens, slops, and other filth. Too frequently the seepage from these and other sources, after Joining the ground water, moves to wells and springs, Impairing the wnter supply by Impurity, and may be grossly poisonous. $ewage Disposal. Popular Indifference to the effective disposal of sewage has existed so long and so universally that only within comparatively recent years has It leen realized that this waste product of human life Is poisonous and must he kept from the food and drink of man. From the specific germs or poison that may be curried In sewage at any time there may result typhoid fever, tuberculosis, hookworm disease, cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, or other ailments, and It Is not Improbable tint certain obscure maladies may be traced eventually to the poisonous effects of drainage from human wnste. The poison Is Invisible to the naked eye, ftnd ft may be carried by many agencies, by devious routes, and be unsuspectingly received Into the human body. Typhoid fever is peculiarly a rural disease, and many Instances clearly Indicate serious neglect of responsibility with regard to sanitation by people who live In the country.' Not to dispose of sewage promptly Invites hut not to dispose of sewage cleanly and completely Invites disease. It Is not enough that human filth Is taken 50, 75, 100, or 150 feet away from a well or spring, or that It h taken merely to lower ground. Given loose or polluopen subsoil, seamy ledge, or tion of one ptat of ground, the sone of contamination Is likely to extend Und readily may reach quite distant wells, enpeclully at such times us well waters are lowered by drought or heavy pumping.

From the standpoint bf the housewife, second only In Importance to purity, Is the Installation of a water system In the farm house that will save labor. Continued pumping will not Improve water In a well If the sources which feed It a re permanently at fault. Wells cannot be located In ail cases to be wholly free from pollution, hut the greatest safeguards are clean ground, and as wide separations as possible from the probable channels of Impure drainage. Wnter for domestic use should te clean, lustrous, odorless, colorless, wholesome, soft, neither strongly acid nor alkaline, and Its temperature for general farm purposes should he about5Q de- grees. These characteristics, however, are never proof of purity, for a glass of water may posses them all aud yet contain millions of g ' i i. i l Officials, CONGRESS BEGINS WORK, 1 - t f 1--i i t t I I?

Various Kinds of Wells. Wells are spoken of as shallow or deep, dug, bored, driven, or drilled, and In the case of tabular wells, as nonflowtng, flowing,, or' artesian. Persons interested In the various types of wells and their construction, advantages, disadvantages, etc., will flnJ the subject treated In Farmers Dul-lejj- in No. 041. Wherever possible, the farmhouse should be' fitted with some sort of running-wate- r system, simple or elaborate,' according to the Investment the owner Is able to make. For such systems water may be ralBed by natural flow, hydraulic rams, pumps, air lifts, or pumps. Hydraulic rams are the most economical water-liftindevices. Since rams of various sizes and makes perforin differently. It usually Is necessary to accept the mechanical detnlls determined by the manufacturer. The minimum, never more than the average, flow of the spring should determine the size of the ram. Otherwise, the qDe selected may he too large for the flfiwv Small flows may be determined by noting tire lime required to fill a vessel of known ca- pacify. Larger flows may be determined by weir measurements. When the wnter supply Is far from the ram alte, It Is usual to pipe the flow to an open tank or reservoir located so as to secure the desired Sometime the length and fall of drive pipe. flow of a spring Is too small to actuate a ram that In such Is sufficient for domestic requirements. Instances and where a nearby brook can bo dammed to obtain the necessary power head, the recoil of the ram may be employed to admit the spring water, which Is pumped by a fall of the brook water to the pipe drive. Motion of water produces friction, which ln-crenses with the length and roughness of the pipe and the rapidity of the waters movement Hence, wherever much water Is to be delivered through a long pipe the power or head necess-to overcome friction should be determined. . The bulletin mentioned before (Farmers Bulletin No. 941) contains a table which shows the friction head ; that Is, the number of feet to be added to the vertical height for each 100 feet of Iron pipe (nor new) to ovprcome frietton when discharging given quantities of water. Selection of Pump. In the selection of a pump one should determine the kind of well to be used. Its inside diameter, depth to the bottom, the depth caed, depth to the water level, both when the pump Is at rest and In operation, and the maximum yield. The maximum quantity of water required per day should be calculated also. One should also determine the distance frouTthe well to tne proposed location of the pomp and the vertical height between these points; likewise the distance from the pump to the reservoir or tank and The the vertical height between these points. kind of power to be employed should be settled upon also hand power, windmill, gasoline nr oil engines, or electric motors and the method of transmitting the power. Farm pumps usually are of the suction.,, lift-- , type or some combination of force, deep-wethese. Suction and lift pumps do not raise wn-tabove the pump nor discharge It under pres-ure- . Suction pumps require the" cylinder to be above the water level of the supply. If a perfect vacuum could be created within the cylinder water could be raised vertically by suction 33 0 feet at sea level. However, the actual suction of the lift Is usually not more than theoretical lift. Methods of making tight joints are described in. the bulletin referred Horizontal suction pipes may extend long distances, providing the friction loss plus the vertical height from the water level to pump valve does not exceed the limiting suction lift Where g dry-weath- er . y ll er two-thir- B-t- amd of the tr Butting Best Damage to Profit al derground N common-wealt- ll OP THE PARMER S VIFE.

It Is necewn-to lower the pump cylinder Into the well, raising the water from the cylinder to the spout by the direct lift of the piston. Water can be pushed more easily than It can be pulled, hence, rather than resort to extreme suction lifts It Is prefer able to lower the cylinder to within 15 feet or less of the supply, or still better to submerge It. Where water Is discharged against pressure a force pump Is necessary. A practical Installation for the kitchen sink Is a combined suction and force pump which will be. found a great saver for the housewife. Deep-WePumps. Deep-wepumps are heavier and stronger than those described above. They may be of the lift or force type and the standard or working head is always directly over the well. The cylinder shojdd ' he near (within 15 feet) or else below water level which pumping and drought may create. Submergence Is the preferable arrangement In all Installations the size of the pnmp-Incylinder must be determined from the size, depth, and yielding power of the well, the quantity of water required, and the available power. Deep wells and hand or wlndwlll outfits take small cylinders. rumping by means of compressed air Is very old, but the systems used prior to 1909 required the air supply to be turned on or shut off according to whether or not the water was needed. Based on a patent granted In that year, a pump aubmerged In the water supply and controlled by the opening and closing of the faucet, was devised. The essen-t-parts of Installation, besides such a pump, are an air compressor, storage tank, engine or motor- with air and water pipes, and minor attachments. The pump operates only when water s used, starting whenever a faucet Is opened and continuing until all faucets are closed. The chief advantage of pumps Is that water may be taken from ordinary depth or lateral distance, or from several sources, with one power outfit and delivered direct from the The power plant may he well to the faucet. located wherever convenient and as many pnmps may be used as there are sources of water. hard and soft water may be delivered by using two pumps and the necessary piping systems. pumps are not adapted at prevent to lifts much over 125 fpet or to wells css than three Inches In diameter, nor can they be used where more water Is required than the well can supply within a specified period. 'Air pipes and pumps must be tight and remain tight In service, and working parts must be kept In good order. Horsepower Needed. Water may be raised by hand, windmill, hyn draulic rams, steam, hot air, gas, engines, or electric motors. Hand pov.r Is unsulted to large supplies or high lifts. Windmills are probably the most familiar type of mechanical power used, and often are arranged to start and stop automatically.
