Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 June 1891 — Well Water. [ARTICLE]

Well Water.

The common well is the most na desirable source of all. If it is dee) enough to strike a living spring ai water, and removed from all sources oi contamination, it may be unobjectionable. but these conditions are rarely met with in the country, and, we maj say, never in large towns or cities. 4 well is usually-placed near thebousei for the same reason that the barnyard, privy and sink drain are, but theii existence in the same vicinity is ii» compatible with a pure and wholeaomt water supply. Some even go so far at to dig the well in the cellar, and wi recall the case of a refined and cultured family who actually had both well an< cesspool underneath, their dwelling, and only a short distance apart. Sue! a barbarous practice is unworthy of I civilized race, but it is to be fearec that a large proportion of wells an not much belter situated.—Populal Science News.
