The question OF water supply is growing
more serious every year. Farmers 10 Ferris
burgh formerly looked upon The passage of
Little Otter Creek through their farms as o
sure protection during Il dry season. or late
years this has changed, and all the water
supply from that source, says resident,
would pass through n barrel. Boring for
water is a growing necessity aud wind mills
are dotting farms In many localities. Mr..
A. Upper, FerrlsbnrIh, found excellent
water after boring six,y-one feet, with four
and three.quar,c's inch bore. In quality it
is cross between creek and rain water. The
windmill does the work. Mr.. David Smith,
same town, is supplied with water by means
of similar well aud windmill. These veins
of water arc deep running and reliable.
