By conserving this water, it also helps to store spring run-off and to increase the ground water supply. This helps maintain the summer flow of springs and streams. A pond near the buildings can also serve as a water supply for fire protection. At the same time, regardless of location it can help provide recreation for the family, both by serving as the "old swimmin’ hole" and, if Stocked with fish, as a place where the fishermen of the family can while away some hap py hours. On many farms the building of a farm pond is not too big a job if the best location is select ed. When a stream runs through some section of the farm, it may be used as the source of water supply and a pond can be de veloped either right on stream by damming or __ nearby can be made with a by pass running from the creek to the pond. In other cases, the pond may be built where it catches and holds run-off water from the spring thaws and from rains. The type of pond will de pend on the location and condi tions on the individual farm. Descriptions of all these types of ponds, and outlines Of details of their construction are all con tained in a bulletin of the On tario Deparment of Agriculture, under the title of "Farm Ponds” This can be obtained from the office of the Agricultural Rep resentative or by writing to the Statistics and Publications Branch of the Ontario Depart ment of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, Ontario. The bulletin is issued free of charge to farmers residing in Ontario, but there is a nominal charge to those living outside the Pro vince.
