THE GREAT QUESTION.

use will average perhaps. ~ niece. Taking his

make a good box, with adjustments Tor nlr-tlqht
sealing at top and sides, as already Indicated,
am persuaded that the cost viii not exceed
Of $4,000; the difference being, between the
two sorts OF boxes, lust $40, Oo0 The box which
propose, with the adjustments, win last, made
tight and irm at least ten years, making the
annual cost for each prlvy.holder not over sew

ings Of the box are the same as those as already
nected with the pump. The 5000 additional

yenicnt every way by The ,ntroiuction and use
OF the box which describe, and have no idea

charge for cleaning each box one half, and order
