eide Hill or Horizontal Wells.

The title is strange, and the idea
doubtless novel one to most of the
readers of the Agrtcultwolist. 1t is
we'll worthy their consideration. Mr..
W. Ii. Gardner, of Muskegon Co.,
Mich. thus writes: Gone would think
from the invariable rule of digging
down for water, that it could be found
in no other direction. In many To-
calities it may as readily be found by
dfggtng up, as down, and the labor of
drawing water ever afterwards saved,
as we'll as much of the labor of dig
ging the well. We have seen many
wells in the States of New York, Wis
consin, Michigan, etc, which could
have been started horizontally into
the hill side, and reached. water with
in but little greater distance horizon
tally, than was dug down into the
the earth perpcndicularly to find it.
A horizontal well has the following
advantages 1t can be dug at any
time or season the earth can all be
taken out in a barrow. however far
horizontally the "leyel' is driven a
great saving of labor and time by
keeping Il gentle assent from the
opening, the water will drar itself,
running out as from natural spring;
they are more easily stoned, less dan
gerous, and can be deepened at any
time. The question Which first
suggests itself is: where can such a
we'll be dug? We answer, anywhere
at the foot of hill of forty or more
feet in height, or on the side of hill.
In sinking shafts, in mining or dig
railroad tunnels, water is very readi-
ly and uniformly found, digging hor-
izontally, and often in great aOun-
dance the horizontal shaft cutting
on more of the veins of water perco-
lating through the earth, than a per-
pendicular one would. " 1t is mat
ter of common experience where cX-
tensive draining operations are car
ricd out, that living springs are cut
so that water flows perpendicularly
from the drain. When no such per-
mancnt sources of of water are en-
countered, the flow from the drains
may be made to supply al the needs
of u family and stock yard, eX-
cept for few months III the heat Of

y CAT DENTIsT.-A true tale is told
of Mr. Slipheimer, the famous Saxon
dentist lie had famous tortoise-shell
cat, that for days did nothing but moan.
Guessing the cause, he looked into his
mouth, and seeing a decayed tooth, he
soon relieved it of its pain, The follow
ing morning there were at least ten cots
at his door; the day after, twenty; and
they went on increasing at such rate
that he was obliged to keep bulldog to
keep them away. \ cat that had the
toothache would come a number of miles
to see him. 1t would come down the
chimney even, and would not leave the
room till he had taken its tooth out. 1t
grew to be such a nuisance at last that he
never was free from one of these feline
patients. However, being one morning
very nervous, he accidently broke the jaw
of an old tabby. The news of this soon
spread like wild-fire. Not a single eat
ever came to him atterward. This is re-
lated as true. Do you doubt it? OF
course not.
