270 EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



4 GEORGE V., A. 19U 



In the appended table, we give the analytical data and a very brief report upon 

 1SS samples of water from various parts of the Dominion, examined during the past 

 year. Of tbese eighty-nine have been pronounced as pure and wholesome, forty-three 

 as suspicious and probably dangerous and forty-one as seriously contaminated. There 

 were fifteen too saline for use as a potable supply. 



Farmers desiring an examination of their water supply are invited to send for 

 a copy of the directions to be followed in tbe collection and shipment of the sample. 

 Samples are being constantly received at tbe laboratories wbich, owing to insufficiency 

 in quantity, dirty containers or corks, or other causes, cannot be submitted to analysis ; 

 trouble and expense to the farmer will therefore be saved if these instructions are 

 first obtained and faithfully carried out.
