ticularly busy, boiling and bubbling, d
000dspeed water or something that 1
like it, trickling out of • glee tuba at one
sed, specially attracted the attention.
" W• are analysing • well water from
Quebec province there," said the Chemist,
"and Pince you ask I will give you some in-
formation of what we have done, and what
Ira have found out, in the matter of well
--- water, from Canadian Farm bomeate•11a.Jt
is difficult te imagine any question of great-
er or more vita/ importance than the one of
a pure wste sop lyt, hr , natural waters,
se found in tan i• es and 'priors and
streams, are unsurpassed tnquality and are
amongst the purest in the wortd. But the
e.ggs amp_p let rgp Ytieel data, wcumutated
as our laboratories, daring the pant Ii
yarn (for we have examined hundreds of
wimples) shows unmistakably that. very
large percentage of wells in rural parte are
most seriously polluted.
What is the nature of the oont•mination!
It is evidently of the, oh•r.oter of drainage
from the barn yard, farm buildings, privy
and similar sources. In other words. the
well receives the inflow of exolsmentitious
matter.
Yon ask how does such particalary affect
the health of the person drigking stun
water. Welt in the first oleos, bad waters
of the kind I hare referred to, is the chief
agent in spreading typhoid fever and many
*other serious and often- fatal infections
diseases. Such water possesses •11 condit-
ions favorable to the growth of disease
germs,—for they teed upon exonmsntitious
matter. Even if such • disease were not
communicated to the drinker, I hold that
the use of polluted water is decidedly iojar-
ious to both man and beast.. Iia aotion is
most insidious and Its oonsequanoes •re tre•
queotly not observed until long after it has
made some grave attack upon the 000strtu-
tton. Diarrhoea, indigestion, sick headaobe.
Iseeitude sed the like may treqnently be
tamed to the use of impure water.
Do I confider such water injurious to stock?
'"—Moet certainly I do. Good health and
thrift are dependent upon an ample supply
of pure water. Uot•inted milk, drstolasa
batter and cheese rennet be produoed upon
• the farm where polluted water i, used. It
should be remembered that because oow,
may like • certain water, it i, no guarantee
of its good quality ; indeed, the salt (as
a coet.iced re
well) in contaminated mitten seethe to at -
treat rather than repel animais. I attribute
the reason of so large • number of wells be-
ing polluted to the fact that farmers have
been in the habil of locating the well in the
barnyard or under the farm betiding, ; is

to act as • oils. -pit. The very stiffest of.
.Yf oleys will. 16 time. broom* ,•ranted
with filth, allowing pollution of the wall.
Of coarse in sandy ails it Is not long before
the drainage matter finds its way into the
web.
. And now, having said so mob, let me
In conclusion offer a little advice upon the
eubject. In the first Films, sink the well at
• safe distance from .11 possible sources of
*ostamination. Never dig a well 1n the
barnyard or under • building 000taining
animals. Keep out surface water by stone
or briokwork onnteoted to the level ot the
ground water line. Prot.ot the well by
mans of a tightfitting top, projecting
above the seams of the sarronndtnv well.
Thoroughly olean out the well from time to
time : small animals, such as (roes and
mine, frequeoely aro much trouble. Never
throw slope or verbmge near the well. Don't
use the web as a oold storage for milk—en
accident might necessitate • thorough-clean-
ing
horoughclaning out of the well. Wash the dairy vessels
at some distance from the well, and pro-
vide a trough or drain for the wash water
to easily run away. Careful attention to
ouch matters se those I have suggested will
assuredly bring about an Improvement in
our farm water supply and will go far
toward nontributisg to the healthfulness ot
NM oommanily and she moon of the

Will we stand for the farm and the Dollies,

Yes. what 1s the old farm for ! The word
is wisely said ;
There may be stump. in the pesters, and

Yet the ready hand lied. duties, and the
hart of youth has drams.
The bar and the senate, to—morrow; to mor-
row the sword or the pea ;
For what should the farm le ht for, if not
the raising of men!
And what if our lot lie bumbler if we oh
the farm abide !
There Is room for noble living, and the
realm a thought is wide ;
A mind enriched is a fortune,—and yon will

facetious manner asked : " Who is than old

Whilst drinking my glue of ale at a mai,
ho -house near Cannon Street, my attention
was drawn to an oil man—a Scotsman evi•
deafly—who gruffly asked the barmaid to
draw hub a pint of ale, and to put a good
head on tt.
She served bin. and moved away, but
was recalled almost immediately by the
sight of him blowing the troth in all direct-
ions. 8he amUtngly took the pot from him
to till it, at the same time remarking :
" You told me to put a good head ow it,
sir."
Peering. not unkindly. at her from under
his sherry eyebrows, he gravely said •
" Aweel' lassie, I didn't ken 'twould bac
ilio a vefra short neck !
