CLEANING WELLS.

MANY farmers are almost criminally careless about cleaning wells, and their families often suffer in consequence from disease caused by the use of impure water. Someone has truly said that it is fortunate for many that the house well sometimes becomes dry, because it gives an opportunity for cleaning it thoroughly. If it has not been cleaned for two or three years, pump it dry and go at it. Anyone will be surprised how much sediment a well accumulates even when its top is carefully guarded. Bad water is a great enemy to health and longevity.—Selected.
