How 20 &c. Foul AIr eat OF Well, and
Why II Gets There,

Edward Johnson, Chester Co., Tenn,
asks what is the best way Of getting
foul air out Of well, and the cause Of
its accommodating there.
ANs.-The foul air in wells is mostly
carbonlc acid, gas difiused through the
air in proportions Of about 1 volumes in
every 10000. 1t is about half as heavy
again as the air, and its great weight
tends to keep it in low places-where it
is generated by the combustion and de-
cay Of organic bodies and also to ac-
cummulate it in pits or unused wells
Unmixed with air it cannot be breathed,
but is rejected with violent spasms of
the glOttls. Flame is instantly extin-
guished by it when mixed with air in
proportion Of one to four. Before de-
scending into an unused well or pit of
any KIND, it's prudent to first lower into
1t a lighted candle, so as to make sure
that 1t does net contain this fatal ele-
ment. Wells in the barnyard that are
used IN winter for watering stock but
seldom used in summer, are especially
liable to have foul air in them at this
season. In August, when the wells are
low, il is always a good time to clean
them out, but before descending into
them, the above precaution should al
ways be taken. If the light fuckers
badly or is extinguIshed, measures
should be taken to remove the carbonlc
acid before venturing into it. If there
is water in the well, all that is needed
10 get rid Of the foul air is TO pump out
the water and dash it in again. The
water will absorb an equal volume of
carbonic acid, and the agitation will al
low a sufficient quantity ofpure air to |

FIRM BUTTER WITHOUT ICE.-ln
fam l es here the dairy is small, a good
plan TO have the butter cool and finn
without ice is by the process Of eyapora-
ton, as practiced in India and other
warm counties. A cheap plan is to get
a very large sized, porous, earthen
flowers pot, with an extra large saucer.
Half fill the saucer with water, set in it
a trivet or light stand-such as IS used
for holding hot irons will do-upon tlss
set your butter; over the whole inyert
the flower pot, letting the top rim of It
rest in and be covered by the water;
then close the hole in the bottom oftLe
flower pot with cork; then dash water
overthe fewer pot, and regest the pgo-
cess several times day, or whenever il
il looks dry. If set in a cool place, or
where the wind can blow on it, 1t will
rapidly eyaporate the water from the
pot. and the butter will be as firm and
cool as if from an ice house.
