a Agricultural ^ Departmer What Sort of Water A v?., tu 1UU VAUIlig LU 1^1 i&liv JL LI Year? The Progressive Farmer. I wish to say a word about t water we Progressive Farm readers are going to drink tl year, for upon the water we a going to drink depend the heal and even the lives of very ma of us this year. The water we drink goes make more than two-third* the blood which flows throu our veins. The blood has abo four functions to periorm. Tl stream of blood is the mediu which receives from the out world the diflereut matte which go to make us well or sic As it passes through every pa of the body, the various tissu of the body take out of this ru dy stream the materials uecess ry for their nutrition and healt It is the medium which takes i or absorbs the dead or refu matters from the various tissu and carries this poisonous dead matter to the various o gans whose business it is i throw off and out of the hoc this dead material. It warm moistens and invigorates tl whole body when healthy. Now you see the need of pu water, for the water you drink making two-thirds of the bloc from which so many fever an ague germs come. Llow aboi your drinking water? Is it pure Many hundreds of cases of sic] Hess and death have been trace directly to contaminated wate Are you concerned about it ? I you know that this water yc drink is carrying into your blot the germs which it contains That is iust what is being don< And if it were not for nature forces while strong and vigorou you would soon be sick. Hut 1 some ot these natural lorces g wrong, a screw loose or a tapo and you are sick at once and tl doctor has to come and tightt things up and set these forces going again. This costt, mor though, than it ckfjs for you clean out your well. There a a good many things one coul write along this line to prove you the necessity of having pu drinking water, but don't y( know this, without sayiug anolh word ? Now is the best time to g your drinking walor in good fi There is among most people mistaken idea us to when draw out anil clean out a well. The time to clean out a well not when the water is lowes but when the well is full to ove flowing. When the water in io in the well it then should be tl purest, as it all comos from de< down in the ground. But win the well is full of water it h run in from all the little wat drains and especially throut those nearest the top of tl ground, and many times it ge in from the top of the groun Now this rush of water from tl top and through I lie earth's por carries along with it all the ii purities in reach.
