Water of some kind le need- ed for both roan and beast. A man will live longer without food than without water. Yet more attention is paid to quality of the food a than eats than to the purity of the water t.e drinks. Tire reason of this may be in the cost ii teas of the one and the cheapness of .the teher. Because water can be had for asking, its quality is not considered of importance. Food costs stoney. The main effort of mankind lv to obtain a sufficiency of food to supply its daily nerds. Little or no effort Is required to procure the daily supply of was-•-. In this country it to there for tete tak- ing. and because of the ease with which ft can be procured little atten- tion is paid to its quality. This is per- haps truer of the country than of the city. The farmer has water right at hos door. All that is necessary is to dig a well, stone or brick it up, put in a pump and he has all that is required for his needs. In this country there is no question about the supply. There should be no question about the qual- ity of the supply If every farmer were alive to the importance of pure water. If the well Is not properly located or its construction is defective, these de- fects should be remedied. The farmer owes it to himself and to hie fancily to provide them with clean, pure water as well as with clean, pure food.
