Some yea.rs agg it '\Va.'i h:i.rd to convince the public of the dangerous character of the water of some of our pumpe,an.tl of the proba.bility that they were the cause uf severu.l serious outbreaks of fever, and the like; but no\v-a-days the tables are tnrued, a11d the slightest appeat·ancc of any ina.ladv, from cholera. down to a whitlow, is immediately supposed to ari!'lc from some inq,J urity in the water. Indeed, people see1n to have gone waterma<l, he:i.ping sins by c:ntloads on its back, of which, there is scarcely a doubt, it is entirely· ;'_;a. cuA:.:'..lS snh:;l:l nce,aurl na.ture s1~1:1n1s to ha.ve designed its pcc1.iliaritics for gJ.'cat and i1nportn.nt purposes.

It ia this peculiarity that 1naintain2 water in the liquid condition, awJ, indeed, ren,ler~ impo!'taible ita existing long jn any other fom1. I need scarcely stay to point out the i1np0rtn.nce of this p1;icuh· arity in the maiutenan<;e of an1mal and vegetable life. Once ~ain, I vrould note that watc11, of ::i.ll liquids vnth which we are ac9.uainted, posses1:1cs the greatest dower of holding substance~ in solution. An Lhi8 sol vent po\ver h not confined to its nction on solids, but extends n.lso to ~aseous matter, the solution being mechanical in some casr.:, and cbernical in l1then1.

In the case of a.mtnonia gas, seven hundred and eighty volun1es ti.re rmluble in one volume of w:~ter ; a nd, bearing in mind itli var.it solvent powers, there is nothing very extraordinory fr;. thf! fact that ab~o]utely che1nioally p11re '\vater is an unknowti thing in n11ture. '.Raiu ·water i:s contau1ilHt.ted '\\"ith the ammonia. and other gaseous Plements with '\vhich it meets in its <lownwa.rd progn:ss. Even sno\\·, as Liebig has sho\vn, cont<.t.ins a consider· n.ble quanty of a.1n1nonia.. In using the word "contaminated " I inerelv intend to imply tha.t rain \vater jg not chcn1icn.fl.y pure, bec:tusc there can be but very doubt thi.t th~ pre1:1ence of amnlOnia. is not altogether unimportant in it1; influence on veget:;1 is it unlikely 1Lle life ; iw1· but that the excessively invigorating effect produced on vegetation by a shower of ra.in, n1ay 1 to a certain extent, be <lu~ to itil pre.;,:ence. I tnay jl18t rctna..Tk he1·e that plants scenito revi\·e tuore ro.pidly when sprinkled with \vnter to which you ha.Ye n<lded a trace: of <:urnnouia solntion, then when common w:'.Lter bas been em· ployed. Then, again, as the 'vat~r pu.sses through the various strata, it tak es up tli e seven1ol 8olid 1nat· tel'l'I it meets '\Vi th in its course. In so1n e c11.scs the amouut of these :::iolid matters will of neces· sity Ue somewhat great, nwing tu the soluliiLity of the st1bstances 'vith which it meetEl. In other cases the a1nount '\vill be very sn1a..ll, owing- to their non·solubility. l<'or E'xa.mple, Proferisor· Bra:i'.ier, of Aberdeen, Scotland, repol'tS that the water of that town only contains between 3 gr. and 4 gr. of solid matter per gallon. In London water it varies fro1n 17.0 gr. to 17.5 ge, per gallon in thu sunun cr, a1ld fr'Om 21 2'l'. to 23 gr. in the \\'inter. \Ve often find 30, 40, *11d 50 gr. per gallon, ·vhilst·in .sea water the qnan · tity is Yery much increased) until at la.st w f' find (in the water of the ])~ad Sea) n.b<n·c 2,500 gr. per gallon, the whole of which i::i hd<l in solution by the1water. Now there a.re fe·v thinga, pel'l1ap2, that have excited tho interest of 1rater drinkers mo1·e than the animal<,'Ules found in water, 1tod about '\\·hich so much has been writtt:n, and so n1any Ecneational ~t.ories told. It ie of course easy enough to terrify children and 'vcu.k-tninuetl people with a mic1·oscopic vie'\\' of ii, drop of had water, Ol' by throwing upon a screen by an oxyhydrogen m1ctoscopc some huge ugly creatui:es flounderi.J.1g about '\\'ith strang~ i.1ncann.iness, and consuming with giant appetites theit' weaker a.nd smaller brethren ; assudug thern at tbc same time that these a.re present unnt1mbercd millions in every glas.ll of wa.tcr they think, whatever caution 1nay ha.v6 been used to get rid of th.em. e all Jo1ow hQw ao1ne popular scientific books supply a pretty circnln.r dra.w· ing, said to repr()Bent the animalcules in a sll1gle drop of water, all assertion th:it is utterly er· roneou8, and most sadly liable to rr1i slcn.d the public n.s to tho real facts of the CMW . Thie pretty drawing i!!i, we need sca.n:ely sv..y, too oftcu the production of an artist's faucy l'ather than the truthful sketchings of the cautious inve sti· gator. It is such senAatio:nn.Iis.m and exaggeration that have so ofteu led the public (as tJ.10~0 who have given t.heir attention tn sanita1·y medicine a.re con8t autly r~mincle<l ) from E!ources of real danger to fix their attention on purely iinaginary OI!.r.:s. 1_,ettne no b Le ini ~ underoituorl Unquestiouahly, animrr.l.cnks :.-U'D tu Le seen in waters containing a.n.i1nal and vcgeto.blc life in n. st~tc of decay; but it is a. pure myth to sup· pose that any ordin:uy rnicroscopo will exhibit, as so 1na11y ini<tgine, a W(·1·ld of creatures in tivcry <ll'up of ".-ate1· that you tak:e from :your cistern or well. And, furtlwr, admitting thl·ir exist ence in son1e waters, we inuat not conde1ru1 the1n off· hand. rrheil' presence in water is, perhaps, after all an a.dva.ntage, for they must Ii ve, and to live they lnu~t eat, and f!O they feed on the organic nuitLer which Lhe "\\o'll.Ler contains; and their wei1·k being finished, it is only to give place to a new generation that shall fulfil sinllla.rly important duties. But though, r egarding their presence fru1n a physiological point of view, it is impossible to Qay that they aro injurious to health ; still there clkn be no doubt that it ii$ de· shablo, as it is certainly more agreeable, tu l'e· tDO'\'O then1 before the wu.Li;:t· is en1ploycd for drinking purposes. 11'ortunately they n.re never found in any wa.ter \vhich ha1 undergone ca.reful ti1t1·ation. It fa right to say thtit if the '\vater is kept in a vessel, "' and the slight deposit formecl n.ftor sevc1·a.l days is carefully collected, and examined under the n1icroscor)c, numerou8 small a.nllnalculel$ wiU no doubt lie found, tr10\'ing about with \vondc1ful rapidity. It 1nay of course be nrgued from tbi.8 that, though filtration keeps the animals thetn· riolves back, it still allows the ova to pa.ss. This may be true ; but surely it is not difficult to tSuggest other co.uses to explain their presenee in such cases. Water, as everybody knows, is a compound of two gases-oxvg.eu (l.nd hydrogen. Nothing 1nore than these~ arc necessary to forn1 it; and what is n1ore, anything in addi~ion, if preReut, muRt be regarded as extraneous matter. This 1nay be p1·oved in t·vo ways- analytically, i. e., by splitting the wp.ter up into these two gBM!f;I.~ a.nd fly11theticu.lly, .by w1lt.ing them 1 and form!ng water a.gain. The one i1:1 a process of pull111g down-the othe1· o~ building up. innQC~nt. -...~.r : ..:~ it.> ..:.1~ 'Vh~t ' 1" Hot water, or auy thing that ·w ill warm the heap, "'ill accelerate fermentation and reduce the manure. Ol'dinnrily, it would be better to ta.kc a Jongcr time and let the fermentation proceed 1nore n1od· C!"'ately. But now we cannot n.fford. to '\Va.it. "\Vo shnll soon need the 1nanure. But no matter, a little skill and judgment will prevell.t '\Vaste. \"'ilatcr has a. strong attra.ction for auunOnia, and if the heap is kept aJ.most to the sa.turing point, little Ol' no ammonia will escape. But you 1nust not put on too much, or it will cool the heap so much that fermentation will be arrested, It ia here that judgmeut is required. If you have any genuine supcrphosphate on hn.nd, you raa.IJ have an oppoi:tlmity of using it to good adva,utwcie, That is to sa.y, the bone-dust a.nd the ma.nuTe, if both are good, will fern1ent very rapidly, and possibly a1nmonia. may escape (though if due precautions are observed, it i1:1 not likely). In tlt.is cn.sc, put a pound or so of superpbosphnte in a po.ii of watC>r, stir it up, a.nd throw it all over the toP. of tl1e heap, or l\ herc the steam is cscaping_-the most rn.:[>idly. The acid phosphate will instantly nrrest the ammonia. Plaster, in ~olution, will do the sa1ne thing·-the only trvuble being t11a.t only a very little of it ran be diasolved. But it is 'vorth while. putting a little plaster in all the water Lhnt is thrown 011 the l1eap - say a tablespoonful in. ea.ch poiil of water. More than ·this '\Vill not be dissolved, thotigb if more is added it will do no ha.nn. When fermentation begin.~ to slacken, turn tho heap again, and break up all the lumps. The finer you can make it tho better. Be sure to keep it moist enollgh. If it fCnnents "lowly, u1ix 80tue 8andy soil with it. Cla.y E>oil will arrest ferinenta.tion i ~at)d will accelerate it. Thi;; tt"<1atment should give yon os good and lich a hea.p of well·rotted fine n1itJ.1ure as ever 'vas p11t on a garden. In applying man1rre, the ga.cat n.im should be to incor1,orate it a..q compleatly as JhlSSible '\Vith the soil. It i~ llot eaay to do this unless the manuro is thoroughly reduced be· forr it is applied to the soil. If it ia plowed in be very'careful in spreading it to break the lumps. And it would be well, if it can be done, to ha.rrow it Rftcr it is sprea<l. If tl11! ha.rrow pulls it into little heaps, sri1·cad them out again and knock th.::1n to pieces before plowjug them 1mder. rrhe first thing I do iii the f,'"~lJ:d~n is to BOW pl!&.E:>, I ivant peas every day from the .middle of June to the first of August-and 1 have then1; nnd so n1ay you and every other farmer. I thir.k I have heard an occo.sional whisper jn the kitchen to the effect that it iij a good deal of '\\"Jrk to piok the peas and shell them- but I am a little deu.f a.t suc11 seasons. .And I believe if you will grow the peas, t.hey will not be a.llo\\t· ed to go to "'·aste, or if they a.re not used, they \Vill be good for seed. & soon as the frost is ont of the surface·soil, three or four incites Jeep, I sow a qi.uirt of Carter's First Crop, a. quart of "\V a.ite's CaractRC11s, an<l half a peck of Early Kent, or Daniel O'Rourke, I maka the rows four feet apn.rt, and set out some young ca.bba.ge plants, '\Vintercd over in cold-frame, betlvccn the l'OWtJ. I make the rows four in<.:hes deep, bnt do not cover the seed 1nore tha.n an ineJ1 deep with soil, but I put on tluee or four inches of hors·J manure on top. If the soil is not very rich, I would '\\"Ork in a good drcssi11g of the well-rotted manure, i)repa.red l.\S u.bove directed. Early ~ peas want rich land, and tbey should o.lso be so..vn very thick-sn.y n quart to a. row fifty or sixty feet long. On 'vann, sunny days, i·;~ke off the manure n.nd let the sun '\Va.rm the hght, covering of soil on tho peu.11, and '\V:lr)n the mfl.nurc at the same time. Towa.r<ls evening, rake back the mannre on the rows to protect them in C81:1e of frost. "\Vl1en the peas begin to sprout, rake a. little light, warm soil on the top 1.Jf t.hen1, 1nixed with a little manure, and keep doing this as the peas grow, until the soil and 1nanure covers them an inch or so higher than the surface of the ground. Then hoe the soil up du each ~ide tl1e ro,v, two or three inches higner than the peae. Thi:s 'vill afford considerable protection fro1n cold winds. '""'l1e1t the peaa get three or four inches 11igh, drn.w u p tlie soil on each side of the row in n. broad ridge leaving a wide apace bet"\\o·een, and then pole the pe...'\a. A farmer can get the nicest kind of pea.-brush from the "Toods, which, if )Jl'Operly taken care of, \\'ill last two or tJnee years . The more side branches on the polos, and the nen.rer the ground, the fe,ver poles will be require.cl. 'l' rhn them up, fan-shaped, and sl1arpen tho ends so that they will go easily into the ground. Put them on ea.ch side of the row, and let them be narrower at the bottom than at the top. 'l'he sun can then get among the viuea i~ntl they will pod hotter and ripen earlier.
