In our country districts, however, where the scattered population makes the establishment of a public water suuply system impossible, the farm- er is forced to depend upon his own domestic source, which is, in most cases, the shallow well. That such a well can be a source of positive dan- ger from typhoid, dysentery, diarrh- oea and other disordesr has been amply proven, but still many farmers do not realize fully the importance of a pure, unpolluted water supply, or the dangers to their families or their stock lurking in contaminated water. The location of the farm well is frenuently faulty and denotes a lack of knowledge of the danger to health from water when there is ant danger of drainage or leaking from such sources of pollution as barnyards, cesspools, privy, manured fields, sink drains, etc. Not only should the well be placed at a reasonable distance from such sources of filth, (say 40-50 yards) but also, if possible, on higher ground. The more porous the ground the greater should be the distance from any contaminating source. T:ven when the well is removed from any source of pollution, the ground water shnuld be made to filter through at least 12 to 15 fent of soil before entering the well. Soil tends to remove germs and impurities from surface washings. The water, how- ever, should be made to really filter through the soil by insuring that the sides of the well, for a depth of 12 to 15 feet are tight and impervious to water. The top naturally, should be so constructed that no contamina- tion can possibly enter. Water niay be seriously polluted without showing this by its taste or appearance. A bright sparkling wat- er is by no means a guarantee of a pure supply. When however, water from a well becomes cloudy or turbid after a heavy rain, there is evidently home defect, for this condition indic- ates that surface washings are enter- 4ne without proper filtration. The Division of Bacteriology and Chemistry at the Central Experimen- tal Farm will analyze water samples submitted by farmers living within a reasonable distance. Application for instructions as to taking the sample should first be made. A. G. LOCHHEAD, Dominion Agricultural Baeteriologtet. Spending and Saving r According to Tory views. as "c - pounded by Sir Henry Drayton, all you have to do in order to make the people rich is to tax them a little more. Well, he tried that remedy himself and the people paid their bieh est burden of taxes in 1020 and 1921 the last two year'.~ in whieh the Con- servatives were in power. But we have not heard of anyone being en- riched in that period and apparently knew nnthine of this new Alladin's lamp for they promptly and w?h great enthusiasm disnn;:ed of tilt, Con- sr'rvative governmr:nt and east it packing. During those last two awful years the party in power had many prob- lem.; to face. With regard to the raile•ny situation, for instance what did they do" Not a blessed thing. They made 00 effort to consolidate or to get them running as a unit. There is a tremendous sum of money invested in thest. roads, partly guaran teed bonds held by private individuals and the government must pay the in- terest onthat money. In one year the Meighen govern- ment put as much as three hundred and twenty millions of dollars Into these railways and did not in that Hole - produce a dollar of interest chargee, failing also to meet operat- ing expenses, in their last year by eleven millions. But the liberal government met operating expenses after they took hold and made seventeen millions profit as well, .,sides reducing the national expenditure. They have spent large sums on pnline improve- ments without adding a cent to the public debt; on the contrary they col- lected lase taxes and eased the burden all round. The Meighen administra- tion seemed to have planned to leave everything unfinished. Perhaps thio was due to the fact that they sensed defeat and they wanted the Ring gov- ernment to inherit a legacy that wnuld give them trouble. If that wee their idea they succeed- ed in leaving a heritage sufficient to stagger a less resourceful and cour ageons government. They even left. the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa without a towerand looking as a wit- ty liberal speaker said --like a snap- ping turtle with its neck cut off. The Tory idea is that any money not collected from the people is neces eerily lost, ,nut . the Mackenzie Ding' idea is less taxes, retrenchment and economy, .cheaper means of produe- tion and •better• and wider markets for. Canadian products. If the people of Canada remelt the circumstances which existed in 1920••21 they will unhesitatingly attpport Mr. Ring, if and when a general election takes punts.

The ride started on August 8. Grain figures issued by the Har- bor Commission of Montreal show that on August 1st all grain ship- ment records wore broken by one day's delivery of 2,277,712 bushels of grain to outgoing. ships, Harbor officials state that this is the first time that grain shipments in one day have topped the two million bushel mark. Installation of machinery at the new annex of the Dominion Textile Mill at Montmorency Falls, Quebec, will be started by January first next. About 300 additional employees will be req''i"ed to operate the plant. At present ':hero a. a about 1,300 em- ployed :. the .:;lis. A pr tier; teat the Orient would become ;'; the very near future a really •ge importer of Canadian wheat .:is made recently by Hon. Dr. J. !=. King, Minister of Public Works. In predicting increased Orient trade in grain, Dr. King pointed out that imports of wheat from Canada for 1923-1924 increased by 400 per cent. Over fifteen thousand men left the east on the first harvesters excursion from the east to the wheat fields in the middle of August. Four other excursions are to follow from To- ronto later in August and Septem- ber, when it is expected that the majority of the remainder of the 60,- 000 men required for the harvest will travel west. British teachers touring Canada under the auspices of the Qvereeea Educational League are now enjoy- ing all the various forma 91 enter. tainment to be found in the Cana- dian Paeifio Rockies, They have been riding trails, hiking, flailing, motoring, bathing in the sulphur springs at the Banff Springs Hotel and were the guests at a dinner there given by J. M, Gibbon, secretary of the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies. Confidence of United States capi- tal in the Dominion, optimistic pre - partitions for the new Canadian financing, prospects of a good crop, large United States purchasing in Canada, and heavy expenditures of American tours in stet the Dominion, were some of the reasons offered by New York financial experts for the consistent above par stand of the Canadian dollar on the New York ex- change. The Canadian dollar is now at a premium on the New York ex- change. The total number of students in Canadian universities and colleges in 1924 was 52,639, or nearly one in eighteen of the total population, ac- cording to a bulletin issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Under the category of colleges, the total number in 1924 was 83. Of this total six are agricultural, two tech- nical, two law, one dental, one for pharmacy, one for veterinary science, 28 theological, 39 affiliated, one school for higher commercial studies, one college of art and one military college. During the coming winter Canada will see the debut of a new trans- portation device known as the Snow - motor. This consists of two hollow cigar shaped cylinders or drums to which flanges, resembling cork screws, are attached. These drums are fixed to an automobile or trac- tor in the place of the wheels and, by rotating actually float the ma- chine over the snow. The snow - motor is regarded as especially valu- able in the transportation of lum- ber; it can negotiate snow of any depth and can operate in countries where other methods of transport - tion are impossible or too costly and can also make roads which other vehicles can use. It is manufactured in Detroit and will be on the market in Mon:.real during the coming win- ter. Shades of George Brown! Imag- ine The Toronto Globe being neu- 'ral in a political election!
