PURE eter A farmer friend has written to ask' PURE WATER. me if there is any way in which he; may have the purity of his well tested., He wants to know if it is good water for his family to drink, and is intelli- gent enough to realize that the mere; fact that it tastes all right is no evidence. My friend may secure a test of his water through a commercial labora- tory of the Provincial Department of Health. It will be necessary for him to secure from them an absolutely sterile container in which he may mail. them a sample. Their analysis will tell him if it contains any appreciable number of colon bacilli. If it does not, he may consider it safe to drink just at present. If it does he must clean out his well. And that is about the extent of his gain. A much better way is to clean out the well, and then put it in such con- dition that it will be safe from con- tamination. The test that he has made simply tells him the condition of the water at the time the sample is taken. Contamination may occur often. Some of the faults about ordinary farm wells that permit drinking water to be contaminated are: (1) loose curbing, allowing surface water to run in; (2) leaky well platform, per- mitting the filth that may have been left upon the platform by manure - covered shoes, or the droppings from chickens, cows or other animals to be washed down into the well; (3) dirty well ropes; (4) the handling of well bucket by dirty hands or depositing It upon dirty surfaces. These faults may be remedied and this is a good time of the year to do It. See that the inside of the well is laid up in cement down to the water - bearing portion. See that an impervi- ous well curb extends at least ten inches above the ground. Make the cover absolutely tight, preferably us- ing concrete. When the pump is in place be careful to protect any space that is left around it. With such a well you will find no need of sending water for analysis, provided that its location is far enough away from the privy and barns that it cannot be con- taminated by underground seepage. To disinfect a well against germ pollution you may use chloride of lime, commonly known as bleaching pow- der. Be sure that it is fresh. Mix a pound of the powder in a gallon of water thoroughly, pour a portion into the well and stir it by agitating the water in any manner most convenient.

"What's up?" the man asked. Hull glared at him, for the mo- ment speechless. His eyes were veno- mous, his mouth a thin, cruel slit. He pushed the newcomer aside, opened the door of the apartment opposite, went in, and slammed it atter him. The man who assisted him to rise was dark and immaculately dressed. "I judge Uncle James has been ex- ercising," he murmured before he took the next flight of stairs. On the door of apartment 12 was a legend in Old English engraved on a calling card.
