REMEDIES FOR STAGNANT ELLs.-Ihe
water in wells frequently becomes foul from
various causes, sometimes from the soaking
into them Of surface water from rich land,
where there is large amount Of vegetable or
animal mould, sometimes from there being too
large an amount of water in the well, which g,
if not drawn of, stagnates and becomes OF
fensive. 4 body Of water remaining undls
turbed for a few weeks is liable to become
foul, which, if occasionally agitated, would
remain good II stagnant water becomes
unpalatable it may be rendered drinkable by
pouring it from one vessel into another three
or four times, letting it fall two or three
feet. By so doing it comes in contact with
the oxygen of the air which purihes 1t. An
other method of purifying water Is to filter
it through sand or charcoal. hOgshead
two-thirds full Of sand, can he set near the
well-the water pumped into it, hole made
in the bottom, covered with a sponge, and
the water will percolate through clear and
be purified. \ chain pump or bucket Is the
best for a well, as it agitates the water every
time it is used. | have remedIed the trouble

well with pure sand, 80 there Will be but
three or four four feet Of water in depth, or
by pulverzng a bushel Of charcoal, putting
it in a coarse bag and suspending 1t beneath
the water in the well, causing it to sink by
placing a stone in the bag. Another cause
for bad water is when a well IS sunk into
blue or marine clay the decOmpOsed shells
ia the clay affect the water badly, and give
it the taste of sulphur or bilge water. Prob

PRUNING APPLE TREEs,-To the enquiries
of a novice on the subject of making apple
trees healthy and profitable by pruning, and
applying ashes and lime around the foot OF
the trunk, we would say, that if trees are
planted on good soil, with a good natural
underdrainage, land next to this thorough
artificial draining,) and the ground Is kept
well cultivated over the whole surface, prun-
ing will become Of secondary Importance.
Branches may sometimes become too thick
and bushy, and need a moderate and even
thinning, but it is better to keep the head
of the tree in good shape and condition,
by preventing its bearing a dense mass OF
brush than cutting out large limbs after
wards. A careful eye will detect super
numerary shoot that Is just sprlngng up IN
wrong place, and will remove it with
knife which is better than to allow 1t to
become a heavy limb, crowd its Deghbors,
and finally have it come out. The great
point, however, first and last, is TO keep the
trees in a good healthy condition by proper
cultivation of the soil. Pruning will not
cure a messy, diseased and stunted tree.
The life must be put into it, if possible,
below, at the roots. As to applying ashes
and lime, they will do little good if heaped
about the foot of the stem. but may be Of
essential benefit if spread broadc asst over the
surface - Country Gentleman.
