He was in the village near the town hall,
with his fathers horse and wagon. when
the approaching wave was discovered, and,
his first thought being TO save his mother
and younger brothers, he drove with great
speed to his home near James's WOODEN

THE DANGERS OF IMPURE WELL
WATER.

This is a subject to which we have several
times called attention, but it is one which
should be kept before the people until they
it in practice. The bad old fashion of dig
ging two holes side by side near the dwell.
ing, the one for a well. the other for cess
pool, is still far too prevalent in our rural
districts There are hundreds of places
within half hours drive of Boston where
one may see the barnyard on the slope of
hill, aud the well at the foot of the hill,
where its waters are certain to catch all the
foul 6ltrations from the manure heaps above.
The following extract from late number of
the London Lancet is as pertinent on this
side Of the ocean as the other -
The dangers of bad milk are engrossing SO
much attention just now, that there is reason
to fear lest the far greater dangers of bad
water should for the time be overlooked. We
trust this serious error will not be commit
ted. For one sample o. dangerous water
could be obtained in almost any part of the
country. Let it never be forgotten that
very few rivers or wells are safe sources of
water supply, and that many are as unsafe
as loaded firearms. The shallow wells of
villages are among the pests Of the country,
and it is high time that Jealous and well
organized crusade should be brought to bear
upon them 1t is sickenng in most country
places to observe the uniformity with which
the cesspoo and well are made to stand side
by side, as though each was necessary for
the other and to think of the twenty feet or
so of foul, sewerage-reeking soil through
which the water percolates to its fetid bed
The question should engage the attention of
every health officer, and will in too many
cases, tax his energies severely, for it is one
of the hardest sanitary problems. 1t is al
ways possible to provide a city or town with
good water but in village, where houses
are few, money scarce, and intelligence
scarcer, it is matter of exceeding difficult

subduing Of these enemies; but there are
other borers than these to which we give
our attention. They are scattered all through
our woodlands. To the maple, especially, is
one species very destructive; its dep, ejations
upon certain pieces Of young woodland that
have fallen under my notice proving as fa-
tai AS it is possible for those Of the apple
borer to be to orchards left 10 entire neglect
But | saw more Of the good Offices OF these
birds than | have yet mentioned how their
sage aud patient inquisitiveness led them to
peer under the scales Of the rough bark of
the trunks of these trees, aud to break open
the sealed house Of any larvae Of the codling
moth found there.
Now these injurious insects furnish the
chief sustenance to the army Of woodpeckers,
aud the pity is the birds are too few to hold
the bugs in check. So, am resolved, il the
dear little stomachs of these good aud true
allies Of mine so long accustomed to strong
meat require change now and again to re-
store their tone aud sharpen their appetite
for new worms, to share with them without
being much disturbed at their demands, and
to plant more trees, if need be, till shall
not miss the share claimed by the woodpeck-
ers of the ueighborhood.

long enough, the dams are opened and the
water conducted to the next field below.
The fields are graded in such way that a
bank forms the outer borders, so that they
hold water very much like q shosl tank.
This embankment is from one foot to eigh-
teen inches high. The soil here is sandy
and pebbly, one Of the chief crops being hay,
as the region about it is one famous for dali
ryiDg. From three to nine crops per year
are cut, although four is about the average.
Irrigation is also largely practiced in Ger
many and England. In the former country,
undershot wheels with buckets attached are
used to raise water for purposes of irriga-
ton. When these buckets come up loaded
with water, they are discharged into large
trough and from thence conducted over
fields, and great deal Of the irrigation in
Germany is done by this means. ln fact, in
that country irrigation lis science, several
journals devoted to it are published regular
ly, many books about it are printed, and
there are large numbers of engineers who do
nothing else but practice this science. Steam
engines are also used somewhat for pumping
water for irrigation. The speaker then gave
a detailed account of a system Of combined
irrigation and drainage, praeticed in Ger.
many, and known as Peterson's system. 1t
is so arranged that one set Of fields is irriga-
ted by the drainage of another or in other
words water is let upon field which soaks
down through the soil into the drains, from
whence it is conducted upon other fields
where the same coarse is followed. If the
weather is dry the fields are irrigated, if wet
the drains carry off the surplus moisture.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

Preserve sacredly the privacies of your
house, your marriage state and your hearts.
Let not father or mother, brother or sister,
nor any third person, ever presume to come
in between you two, to share the Joys or
sorrows that belong to you alone, to you two.
With Gods help build your own quiet world,
not allowing the dearest earthly friend to be
the confidant of aught that concerns your
domestic peace. Let moments of alienation
Gf they occur) be healed and forgotten at
once. Never-no, never-speak of it out
side, but each to the other confess, and all
will come right Never let the moTow's
sun find you still ut variance. Renew or re-
view the vow at all temptations-it will do
you both good. And thereby your souls will
grow together, cemented in that love which
is stronger than death, and you will become
truly one. Thus do pray for every mar
ried pair.-A Wife of Forty Years.

A WORD FOR THE WOOD
PICKER.

While searching for borers in my orchard
last tall, l Unexpectedly came upon several
which had taken possession of two or three
large trees that had previously escaped the
attack Of this enemy. The means for dis
lodging them, which / had at hand, proving
ina a1equate, on account Of the size of the
trees, was compelled to postpone the task
till another time. Passing that way again
the other day, with what qualification did |
observe that the wOOdpSckers had discovered
the trouble, and had attended to the destruc-
tion of the insects more thoroughly and deft-
ly than | could have done. How l then
repented of the murderous intent cherished
in my heart against those birds ever since
last cherry time, when gathering from far
and near upon my trees, then blushing with
one of their first crops of this luscious fruit in
its choicest varieties, in numbers which were
a surprise to me, they discussed my fruit with
a freedom which grieved me exceedingly,
To be sure, my good farmer, you nor don't
mean to let our borers grow to such size as
to attract the woodpeckers to their destruc-
ton, and of course we will not be so silly as
to depend alone upon this means for the

ASHES AND PLASTER.

The Rural Home gives this bit of history:
During the year 1857, man named Ar
thur DUNCAN. went to the town of Palermo,
N. Y, and bought sixty acres of dry, sandy
land, with here and there little pertaining
to gravel He paid 81 800 for it. He knew
nothing about farming, being machiuist by
trade, and never held pillow. Alter paying
for his land, he had 5000 left. He found
his land was worn out. He began by buy
ing ashes and plaster would draw potatoes
fourteen miles to OswegO, and load his team
back with manure from the livery stables.
His crops increased. His ashes were spread
correspondingly thick. He raised princi-
pally potatoes and wheat. Now, 1000 bush.
els Of ashes per year are about what he buys.
His potatoes, for several years past, average
$50 bushels per acre; his winter wheat,
thirty bushels and over /; and he has saved
from his farm alone, till he now holds S12.-
600 in bank stock, and would not sell his
farm for 500 per acre. He sold in 1869,
in potatoes and wheat, over 2,300 worth
He is known as the best farmer in this coun-
ty. Yet when he began buying ashes, old
farmers shook their heads, and said He
will know better when he has farmed it as
long as we have.

ABOUT BRAN.

Wheat bran is very much richer in phos-
phoric acid than corn bran. Wheat con-
tains in the whole grain 80 per cent of phos-
phoric acid, and corn only 5 IL per cent. !;
but nearly the whole Of the phosphoric acid
ofthe grain exists in the husk or bran. Thus
wheat bran contains nearly 80 per cent. Of
this valuable substance. What percentage
is in the bran Of corn We have no means of
ascertaining, but it is certainly less rich in
phosphoric acid than wheat bran.
Rye bran is richer still than wheat bran.
containing over "a per cent. of phosphoric
acid, which is a larger proportion than is
contained in any oth'' article of food for
stock. Wheat bran is also far richer in
lime than corn, aud is therefore better food
for poultry than the latter. If wheat bran
is preserved free from damp or mould it will
not deteriorate in quality or keeping for any
moderate length of time, year for instance.

probably ten feet wide, and this, as well AS

A NEW APPLE.

In persuing your paper | have seen con-

would not be amiss to give history of an
apple | accidentally found in Canada last
fall, the history OF which is SO wonderful
that it seems to warrant its being published.
In the town of Matilda, county Of Dundas,
p. o., is tree known as the Mcintosh Red.
The parent tree originated near where it now
stands some seventy years ago, and has
borne every year since the Oldest inhabitants
can remember, and is still perfectly hardy,
the apple being also good in every respect
The proprietor, Mr. Allen Mcintosh, COM
menced budding for his own use, and at the
solicitation Of his neighbors, and now has
quite number of small trees which appear
to be as hardy as the original tree. Your
informant became so much interested in the
description OF this tree that he travelled ov-
er large section of country, where these
trees had been scattered, in search Of rebuff
ting testimony, but found none, each affidavit
being of the most positive character, as to
hardiaess, Lproductiveness and longevity of
the tree, and quality, size, and keeping prop
critics of the apple. Also there is another
peculiarly about this variety the limbs
seem to be different from any other tree |
ever saw they come out like pins, and never
split down. G. A. OLOUaH.
