It is not enough that a well or spring be 50. 100 or 150 feet from a source of filth or merely upon higher ground, although even moderate remoteness and elevation of the source of supply nre desirable. Given porous or gravelly ground, seamy ledge, or long-continued pollution of one plat of land, the zone of contam ination Is likely to extend long dis tances, particularly In downhill direc tions, and at such times as water sup plies are lowered by drought or heavy pumping. Only when the surface of the water-in a well or spring Is actu ally at a higher level at all times than any near-by source of filth is there pos itive assurance of safety. BOY WINS LIFE .

The bench terrace Is usually *bullt with the reversible hillside 'plow by which the soil Is slwsys'ihrown down the hill. This Is done for s number of years until the bench becomes level or the slope of the bench Is slightly reversed. A ridge’ of earth Is kept at the outer edge of the bench to prevent the surface water from running from one bench to the next bench below. Bench terraces should he lpvel; that Is, they should have no fall alopg-the direction of their length. Before the bench between the terrace embank ments Is made level by plowing the null down the slope the surface wa ter Is held above the shoulder at the outer side of the bench. I'nrt of the water may move off slowly to the ends of the terrace and the rest will either sink Into the soil or evaporate. A- heavy sod should he kept on the shoulder and embankment to prevent erosion should the shoulder be over topped due to heavy rain. ^ When a bench terrace ls-ftest start ed, the shoulder should be built about one foot high and three feet wide at the base. These dimensions can he re duced some as th«i leveling down of the bench proceeds. When the bench has become level It Is only necessary to maintain a small shoulder about one- half foot high at the quter side of the bench. ' This will- prevent, possible damage to the terrace due to an exces sively heavy rain. The distance between the terraces Is governed by the vertical distance or dfop aiid hot by the distance along the surface of the ground. The distance along the surface of the ground will be different for different slopes of the land where the same vertical distance between the terraces is used. The proper drop or vertical distance between bench terraces depends large ly on how much care end attention Is given to the terraces, the greater the drop the- more care required. The greater the drop the higher will he the embankment, and It Is much more diffi cult to maintain a hleh than a low- em bankment. The best- practice Indi cates that the drop between bench ter races should never he less than three feet nor more than six feet, although a drop of eight feet has been used successfully on steep slopes where the terraces are carefully maintained. • i. .
