III3KE is Scriptural authority for tho statement that bitter waters and sweet do not flow from tho snmo fountain. The same truth applies to wells on the farm. The family that uses n well or spring subject to contamination Is ulmost surely destined to tnsto tho dregs of sorrow atid buffering for having drunk Us dlscnse-laden output. In vestigations nindo by tho United Stntes depart ment of agriculture Indicate that only n small minority of farm-water supplies can bo classed as unqualifiedly safe and desirable. On the aver- ago three out of four form wells nre located with in 75 feet of a back door of tho house and In the direction of tho barnyard. That convenience and first cost, .not safety, have been tlio deciding factors in such cases Is mado evident by tho nearness of barnyards, pig pens, pastures, fertilized fields, sink drains, priv ies, cesspools, and areas rendered Insnnltury by chickens, slops, nnd other filth. Too frequently tho seepage from these nnd other sources, after Joining the ground water, moves to wells and springs, impairing tlio wntcr supply by Impurity, nnd may ho grossly poisonous. Sewage Disposal. Popular Indifference to the effective disposal of sewage has existed so long and so universally that only within comparatively recent years has It been realized that this wnsto product of hu man Ufo Is poisonous nnd must he kept froin the food and drink of man. From tho specific germs or poison that mny be carried In sewage at any tlmo thoro may result typhoid fever, tuberculo sis, hookworm disease, cholera, dysentery, diar rhea', or other ailments, and It Is not Improbable that certnln obscure mnladles may be traced event ually to tho poisonous cITccts of drainage front hu man waste. Tho poison Is Invisible to the naked eye, and It mny be carried by many agencies, by devious routes, nnd be unsuspectingly received Into tho human body. Typhoid fever Is peculiarly a, rural disease, and many Instances clearly Indi cate serious neglect of responsibility with regard to sanitation by people who live In tho country. Not to dlsposo of sowngo promptly Invites nui sance, but not to dispose of scwago cleanly and completely Invites dlscnse. It is not enough thnt human filth is taken 50, 75, 100, or 150 feet away from a well or spring, or that It Is taken merely to lower ground. Given loose or opc subsoil, seamy ledge, or long-continued pollu tion of one plat of ground, the zone of contamina tion Is likely to extend nnd readily may reach quito distant wells, especially at such times ns vToU waters are lowered by drought or heavy pumping. Whatever tho system of sewage dis posal, It should bo entirely nnd widely, sepa- I rated from the water supply, nnd, If possible, j tho fiurfneo of tho sowngo In any leaky privy, I vault or cesspool should be lower than the low I est rnter In any near-by well.

'it will have to bo cut glBBK soon," Pure Water the Need. One of thu first and ouvlous needs of Ameri can farms Is pure water supply. From the standpoint of tho housewife, second only In Ini- 1 portnnce to purity, Is the Installation of a water system In tho fnrin house that will save labor. I Continued pumping will not Improvo water In n well If tho sources which feed It aro permanent ly nt fault. Wells cannot ho located n ail cases to lie wholly free from pollution, but the great est safeguards aro clean ground, nnd as wide sep arations as pobslblo from the probablo channels of Impure drainage. Water for domestic uso should be clean, lus trous, odorless, colorless, wholesome, soft, neither strongly ncld nor alkaline, and Us temperature for general ftirm purposes should bo nbout 50 de grees. These characteristics, howover, are never proof of purity, for a glass of water may pos sess them all and yet contain millions of tllseast producltig germs. Ground water Is the Ideal supply for th- farm.

I he use or the willow, hazel, or peach stick for locating un derground wntcr Is without merit, although "forked-stlclc" artists from experience often are better nhlo to judge tho probabilities of ground water than the nverage person. Various Kinds of Wells. Wells are spoken of us shallow or deep, dug, bored, driven, or drilled, nnd In the case of tubu lar wells, as nonflowlng, flowing, or artesian. Persons Interested In the various types of wells nnd their construction, advantages, disadvantages, etc., will find tho subject treated in Furmcr3' Bul letin No. Ml. Wherever possible, tho farmhouse should be fitted with some sort of running-water system, simple or elnborate, according to the Investment tho owner Is nhlo to make. For such systfms water mny be raised by natural flow, hydraulic rams, pumps, nlr lifts, or nlr-dlsplacemont pumps. ' Hydraulic rams are the most economical wutcr llftlng devices. SInco rmns of various sizes nnd makes perform differently, It usually Is necessary to nccept tlio mechanical details determined hy the manufacturer. Tho minimum, never moro than the nverage, How of tho spring should de termine the blze of tho ram. Otherwise, tho oue selected may be too largo for tho dry-weather 'flow. Smnll flows may bo determined by noting the tlmo required to fill n vessel of known ca paclty. Larger Hows may be determined by weir measurements. When tho water supply Is far fr,om the ram site, It Is ubtial to pipe the How to an open l.nnk or reservoir located so as to secure the desired" length nnd fall of drive pipe. Sometimes the flow of a spring Is too small 'to actuate a ram that Is sufficient for domestic requirements. In such Instances and where n nearby brook; can bo dammed to obtain the necessary power head, tho recoil of the rum may bo employed to ndnift the spring water, which Is pumped by a fall of the brook water to the pipe drive. Motion of water produces friction, whlc'j In creases with the length nnd roughness of the pipe nnd tho rapidity of tho water's movement. Hence, wherever much wntcr Is to ho delivered through a long pipe the power or bend necessiry to overcome friction should bo determined. The bulletin mentioned before (Farmers' Bulletin No. Oil) contains a table which shows the friction head ; that Is, tho number of feet to be ntlded to tho vertical lu'Ight for each 100 feet of Iron plpo (not new) to overcome friction whoa discharg ing given qunntltlts of water. Selection of Pump. In the bclectlon of n pump one sheuld deter mine the kind of well to bo used, Its Inside di ameter, depth to the bottom, the depth cased, depth to tho water level, both when the pump Is nt rest and in operation, nnd tlw maximum vleld. The maximum quantity of water required per day should be calculated also. One should also determine the distance from tho welt to tho proposed location of the pump and tho vertical height between these points; likewise tho dis tance from tho pump to tho reservoir or tnnk nnd tho vertical height between theae points. The kind of power to be employed should be settled upon also hand power, windmill, gnsollno or oil engines, or electric motors and the method of transmitting tho power. Farm pumps usually aro of tho suction, lift, force deep-wen typo or bihuu wiuiidiiiuuuu oi these'. Suction nnd lift pumps do not ralso wn ter above tho pump nor dlschnrgo It under press ure. Suction pumps require tho cylinder to bo above the water level of the supply. If n per fect vacuum could be created within the cylinder water could be raised vertically by suction 330 feot at sea level. However, tho actual suction lift Is usually not more than two-thirds of the theoretical lift. Methods of making tight Joints nre described In the rullwtln referred to. Ilorlaontnl suction pipes may extend long ills nm. nrmldliiL' the friction loss plus the ver tical height from tho water level to pump alvo .i.ww mil exceed the limiting suction lift. Where does not exceed the limiting Deep-Well Pumps. Deep-well pumps nre heavier and stronger than those described above. They may bo of'tlre lift or force type and the standnrd or working head Is always directly over tho well. The cylinder should be near (within 15 feet) or else below water level which pumping and drought may Cre ate. Submergence is the preferable arrange ment. In nil Installations tho s'Ize of tho pump ing cylinder must be determined from the size, depth, nnd yielding power of the well, the quan tity of water required, and the nvnllablo power. Deep wells and hand or wlndwlll outfits take smnll cylinders. Pumping by means of compressed nlr Is very old, but the systems used prior to 1000 required tho u!r supply to be turned on or shut off nccord lng to whether or not tho water was ncedetf. Based on n patent granted In thnt year, a two cylinder nlr-dlsplncement pump submerged in tile voter supply and controlled by tho opening nntf closing of tho faucet, was devised. The essen tial parts of installation, besides such a- pump nro nn nlr cdmpressor, storage tnnk, engine or mo torwith nlr and wnter pipes, and minor attach ments. The pump operates only when wnter ls used, starting whenever n fnucet Is opened' and1 continuing until all faucets nro closed. ' The chief ndvantnge of air-displacement pumps Is that water may be taken from ordinary depth or lateral distance, or from several sources, with one power outfit and delivered direct from tile well to the fnucet. The power plant may he located wherever convenient ami as many pumps may bo used as there aro sources of wnter. BHb hard and soft wnter may be delivered by using two pumps and the necesscy piping systems. Alr-dlsplncemcnt pumps are uot adapted nt pres ent to lifts much over 125 feet or to wells 'ess than three Inches In diameter, nor can they b used where more wnter Is required thnn the well can supply within n specified period.,. Air pipes and air-displacement pumps must be tight and remnln tlghf In service, nnd working parts must be kept In good order. Horsepower Needed. Water may be raised by hand, windmill; hy draulic rams, steam, hot air, gas, Internal-combustion engines, or electric mofors. Ilnnd'ijowor Is unsulted to lnrge supplies or high lifts. Wind mills are probably the most familiar type of me chanical pbwer used, and' often nre nrmnged to stnrt and stop automatically. Gasoline nnd oil engines are well adapted to farm pumping, and may be equipped to stop at any desired' pressure In n supply tank. The- uso ot electricity for pumping Is Increasing. The method Is clean, quiet, nnd convenient, nnd starting or stopping a distant pump by throwing a switch may be prac tical wherever transmission lines are sufficiently near. The theoretical horsepower needed to rniso water Is found hy multiplying the gnllons pumped In ono minute by the totnl lift, In feot, Including friction In both suction nnd discharge pipes, nnd then dividing the product )y 4,000. The horse power, as computed, should bo multiplied by from two ' four to overcomo losses In pumping nnd still allow for a reserve of power. Ordinarily ono to two horsepower engines are sufllclen: for farm pumps, but It Is always safest to detennlna this point by computation. An ndvnntngo to be derived from thf wll-in-stalled farm water system often overlooked Is I'm benefit It affords In the way of lire preventloa With relatively small expenditure, flxtuios can be added to a pipe system, which give rendy access to the water supply for fighting flames. In al most every enso a fire can bo easily put out If discovered at Its early stage, providing thoro s flre-llghtlng apparatus near by and all haii'Js, oven tho children, nre taught and drilled to me such apparatus coolly and skillfully. CONCRETE ON THE FARM. If thoro Is any one thing monj thnn another that hns aided the farmer InmaUng his farm stead more attractive, his live stock tuore com fortablo and his fnnn mom vnluable, It Is con crete on the farm. It Is one of the most ceo nomlcn'l and suitublo furtn-bulldlng materials. In permanency It cannot bo surpassed. In fact, It Is unequiiled In thl3 one respect. Concrete Is also ono of the biggest factors In making build ings rat nnd mouso proof. Needless to say, rats nnd mice have always been a constant menace to the formen." grain bins and corucrlbs, but tho widespread us,e of concrete on tho form hns great ly reduced tho danlago done to stored frnlns. Perhaps the greatest vnluo of concreto, how. over, Is the fact that It can bo mixed by the farm er himself, instead of having to depend upon expensive masons and carpenters ho can employ his spare "ic In concrete construction, because concreto Is something that nnyiuio can h-iii with u UW v pructk".
