Water luilnnrs l'ii|ii])e<l from Out- ilnnr U'flls Ho\v lo Do the Job i ii-n>-.i:;ii I'miips Save Time anil Ktiergj. (Contributed by Ontrrto Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The writer recently described in iliisc column* liow to safeguard the f:mn water supply against contamin- ation. All will uRrc-e that this mat- ter should receive foremost attention. In this and subsequent articles var- ious means for sMtliiK ilio water, whether well, spring, or cistern water on tap In the farm home will be described. In the final place I desire to emphasize the fact that It is frequently a very common thing for the farmers' wives to carry the water from the pump over the well to the house, where the pump could be located inside the house, and all the labor of carrying water avoided and without very little more labor expended In pumping. Distance of House lumi> from Well. Note this question: When can the piirrHlJ&e located to one side of the well, and how far away? If the water supply is no more than 150 or 200 feet from the house, and the level of the water at the supply, say the well Is never more than 20 or 22 feet below the level of the ground le-vel at the house, the 'pump may he put insidf the house, and the water drawn in quite satisfactorily. It would not cost very much to make this change iu the pump arrange- ment, and consider what a great sav- ing of labor and time, inconvenience, and exposure to bad weather would be effected by merely moving the pump inside. Pej-haps you have never thought of this matter. How about it? Then, too, the well can be more securely guarded from surface con- tamination than when the pump IB directly over it. The Majority of Wells Are Shallow. In many districts of our ..-ountry the majority of the wells are shallow and within a short distance of the house, and readily leud themselves to the pumping system described above. It is the nearest approach to water on tap, and tho system should b" far more common in the rural districts than It Is. If In the future some time an np-to-date water sys- tem should he insl.-illnd in the home, the water line from the house to 4 the well would be already installed, J and no changes In it would be necessary. Hints on Installation. Before passing on, a few features concerning installation of the water pipe to the well or supply should be emphasized. Those are: The best quality of galvanized pipe should be used, the joints In the line should be absolutely air-tight, the pipe line should be deep enough to be always safe from frost, tlie pipe should slope sllghily towards the wvll, .Tn.l th.T" should bo a chock-valve and strainer on the bottom of 'he pipe In the wall in order to maintain the plpo line full of water up to tbe pump itself and to keep buck sticks, stonfa, etc., that might clog the pump valves. The slzo of the pipe (Inside diameter) should bo at luast one-half tho dia- meter of i lie pump cylinder, the iMvaler Hi' horizontal distance water is drav. :i the lan;<T the pipe. The 1 ' ol jiunip used may vary con-. slderably. The ordinary out-of-doors pump i' ;i> l u: ;!. In this case the pump would be located in tho wood- sin (1. for instance, and installed over a dry well. This consists of a shal- low pit cribbed up securely in which tin- pump cylind'T is located, and It has a th'lil lo)> lik<i..an ordinary well. It would he a muelVwBlQT matter to r. pair the pump cylinder than when pump is over the well, and much easier to protect 111" pump from frost in severe winter weather. A single or double acting low down force pump similar to the. type used on threshers' wnler tsmks might be ii It il. It might be located in the cel- lar jur liny convenient place Inside; no dry well would he necessary in this case. Have a (>ood (Duality of I'miip. KVIMI ihi' kitchen pump would s. i v> the purpoM 1 very well if it were KIIIIK what heavier in construction and bolter designed than the cheaper ones of this class. Another typo would bo tho wini-rotary pump which in fastened BI curtly to the wall ol' CM 1. iii-l' ii or pantry at ono side, of Bink. It in operated by a short handle moved back and forth in n semi-circular manner. The samd pump at the kitchen sink may be used also for pumpinK up the water from the cistern by having a three- way valvo Installed in tho pipe line at a point just below tl'.u sink. When the valve Is Het one way, the well water can be. pumpud into HI. house, when opposite tho cistern or soft water can bo pumped. In this short article an endeavor has been made to explain a few simple and Inexpensive means of re- ducing Hie labor of getting the water into the farm home, in others to fol- low more up-to-date systems will he dealt with.
