GREEN SLIME IN TANKS.
Somk one iiska how to prevent green Nliine from collecting on inside walls of a water tank. My tank, says u writer in tho (Jonntnj Gentleman, for several years was troubled the sams way, and had to ba frequently cleaned, and at length I chanced upon what seems, after two years, to be the remedy. It is forcing air through the water. At first the feedpipe to the tauk discharged upon the surface of the water, and there was very little disturbance. Then the pipe was changed so as to enter the tank at the bottom, and as the windmill is on slightly higher ground than the tank, the forcing in of the water by the pump carries with it a large amount of air, so that when the tank is being filled the water boils and bubbles at a great rate. Since that time the tank has been perfectly free from slime, and after two years has not required to be cleaned even once.
