Girl Farmers.

Located six miles west Of st. Paul
Mimi, there is farm under good state
of cultivation, which was reclaimed from
the wilderness only three years ago by
seven sisters, who procured pre- emption
title to the same, and now till it, unaided
by the labor Or advice of the "stcrner
SEX" In 1867 the parents of these
girls lived in Ohio, were very poor, and
both confirmed invalids In this straight
the girls resolved to emigrate to Minneso-
tn and try their luck at farming, securing
their land by compliance with the terms
Of the pre-emption laws. How well they
have succeeded in their novel undertaking
will be comprehended when we state that
last year they sold nine hundred bushels
of potatoes, five hundred bushels of corn,
two hundred and fifty bushels of wheat,

To See Down a Well.

A New Hampshire Journal Of Agri-
culture suggests an excellent plan for ex-
ploring the bottom of a well:
"It is not generally known how easy
a matter it is to examine the bottom of
WELL cistern or pond of water by the
use of common mirror. When the sun
is shining brightly, hold mirror so that
the reflected rays of light will fall into
the water. A bright spot will he seen at
the bottom so light as to show the small
est object very plainly. BY this means
we have examined the bottom Of wells fifty
feet deep, when half full or more Of water.
The smallest straw or other small objects
can be perfectly seen from the surface.
In the same way one can examine the
bottom Of ponds and rivers if the water
be somewhat clear, and not agitated by
winds or rapid motion. If we'll or els
tern be under cover, Or shaded by build
ings, so that the sunlight will not fall
near the opening, it is only necessary to
employ two mirrors, using one to reflect
the light to the opening, and another to

Light in this way may be thrown fif
ty or a hundred yards to the precise
spot desired, and then reflected down
ward. We have used the mirror with
success to reflect light round a field to IA
shaded spot, and also to carry it from
south window through two rooms, and
then into a cistern under the north side
of the house. Half dozen reflections
of the light may be made, though each
mirror diminishes the brilliancy of the
light. Let any one not familiar with this
method try it, and he will find it not only
useful, but pleasing experiment. 1t
will, perhaps, reveal mass of sediment
at the bottom of we'll that was little
thought of, but which may have been a
fruitful source Of disease, by its decay in
the water"
