It is the habit of the negro to do the thing that is the easiest, and in this case it was much more convenient to dip water out of the concrete trough than it was to get it from the concrete well. Immediately below the barn is a large pig-pen, the drainage from which and from the rinsing of the bottles runs into a low place where some cows were drinking and wallowing about. At ]Mr. Watkins' lower dairy the water supply comes from a well about twenty feet deep, the water being elevated by two buckets and a rope operated over a wheel. Within GO feet of the well is a house occupied by a family of negroes, one of the children being sick with fever at the time of our inspection. His mother said he had been sick for over a week. There were no sanitary arrangements provided for this house, the yard being used for a privy. This well supplied water for washing the cans and cooling the milk. Mr. Dotger furnishes the ice-cream man with practically all of his milk, supplementing his own supply with that of his neighbor, Mr. Culp. The two milk about eighty-three cows.
