DO Not Neglect Your Wells.

Friend, you have a mud holeat your well
90 for it at once. Do not eat or sleep till 1t
is removed Take hoe and drag out the
mud and filth, and then fill the hole with dry
soil or sand. After doing this, shut the pigs
and poultry from the well, and keep them
out. If the curb is broken or rotten down,
replace with new one After doing this,
scrape away the grass and surface soil around
the well and replace with q layer of sand and
gravel. If, from the character of the land,
your well ever fills with water, cut ditch six
feet deep all around it, at the distance Of a
few yards, and have an outlet from this to
take off the water. The water in the well
will not, after this, rise higher than the bot
tom of the ditch. If your water is muddy
and impure, throw in peck of lime to puri-
fly. If animalcule appear in the water, throw
in halfgallon of salt to make them settle to
the bottom. And it is worth while to take
some pains to fix up some convenience at
your well. A bench to set the bucket on
while it is being filled, and handy and easy
way TO get the water, and smooth, dry path
from the well to the kitchen-thesc things
will make SO much easier the task of your
wives and daughters. Farmers, do not neg
ect your wells a single day longer, but see
that all about them is neat and tidy, and
determine to keep it so.-Marylnad Farmer.

NEVER KEEP AN OLD SHEEP.-"It is a
piece of folly to keep old sheep" says great
sheep grower, and that with good reason, too.
The end of every sheep is the shambles; it
may give one ormore fleeces of wool on the
way, but not SO many that the carcass will
cost more to fatten than il will bring. A eve
should not bear lambs more than five times I;
at the end of this period the carcass will. with
proper care, be round and full, and can be
httened with comparative ease. Should the
animal be q pure blood and of family or
strain of blood that is scarce, the case will DO
otherwise, for the carcass is then considered
of very little value as compared with that of
the offspring that may he obtained

PRESERVING GREEN FoDDER-All farmers
whose hay crops are short must be interested
in the silo-the system of preserving green
crops in use in France and Austria. These
are pits arranged to receive green fodder
They consist of brick or stone Enclosures,
something like an old-fashoned lime kiln,
The growing crop is clipped into short cuts,
averaging about one inch in length, amp pack
ed down in the inclosure by means of boards,
kept down by stones or heavy weights. 1t
is suggested to those farmers who are lament
ing short hay crop that they have still ten
or fifteen days in which to sow corn for fod-
der. Ordinary land will produce two tons of
this feed, and, cut just as the silk forms,
itmakes the best kind of fodder. Farmers
might look into the silos. The celebrated
sour hay of Austria is saved on the same prin-
cplc, being cut green and buried in trenches,
with pressure applied vertically. Silos are In
use in Putnam county, New York, and
on some Massachusetts PHILADELPHIA

much. Contrive a plan to convey to me
your share of the pleasure derived from this
operation, and the money is at your service"
Such is the simple tale, which l have told

moral would be an insult to the reader.

Mat NJ. was queer genius. A neighbor
found him at work one day at an enormous
wood-pile, saving away for dear life, with an
intolcrably dull saw "Why don't you shar-
pen your saw MatS" Looking up with an
inimitably droll expression he replied, ~
should think had work enough to saw up
this wood pile without stopping to sharpen

KICKING Cows-A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman writes: have tried all
the various ways to prevent COWS from kick
ing while milking, and have found none more
harmless easily applied, and as effectual as
the Dutch or Holland method, which is to
take small rope about four feet long, and
put 1t around both hind legs, just above the
gambrel joints, with a slipknot; draw tight
enough to bring both legs firmly together;
wind the rope two or three times between
the legs, around this rope or noose drawing
it tight, and fasten the rope by half hitch.
In North Holland, this is practiced on all the
cows at every milking. They are driven to
the milking-ground, where stakes are driven
about two feet high, and TO these stakes the
cows are tied for milking. Each COW goes
directly to its own stake, and when to be
MIXED they voluntarily place their feet in
proper position to have their legs tied. The
Dutch milk-pail is nearly of the size of a small
wash-tub, hence the necessity of having the
COW stand moderately still; otherwise they
are liable to get into the pail.

are frightful to look upon. The villages
Of AIImGutown, Brownstown, Passmere-
