Fig. 70.—Sketch showing the topography and the location of buildings in the vicinity of cistern No. 2: 1, House; 2, privy; 3, wood shed; 4, reservoir; 5, tool shed; 6, pump; 7, barn and stables; 8, granary; 9, chicken coop; 10, granary; 11, hogpen; 12, cistern. for cattle, and in case of necessity for drinking mate dimensions are 60 feet long, 35 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. It is allowed to fill with surface water during the winter and spring, and the heavy clay soil holds the water throughout the summer. The sanitary conditions surrounding this sup- ply are very bad. Surface wash from the barnyard enters freely; decaying vege- table growths could be seen in water on date of visit. The water is pumped di- ( rectly from the reservoir by means of a wooden pump suspended on a platform built over the water. These surface water supplies are necessarily used on account of the impracticability of a deep ground supply or of a surface well. The deep ground waters of this area are very salty and in most cases have a strong alkaline taste, which renders them impossible for domestic or farm use. Sanitary condition of farmhouse and outbuildings.—House very good; stables very good; privy good, open vault well protected. Milk.—Used by family; sani- tary care very good. Water - borne diseases.—None recorded. Analyses.—See page 79. No. 3. A polluted sup- ply. The roof is the \f\°s \* \ \ source of pollution, and unless sufficient water for a thorough rinsing of the roof can be wasted at the beginning of each rain it will be impos- sible to improve the water supply. Under such conditions the wa- ter for drinking should be boiled or otherwise disinfected.
