s.,#. 4. Digging Wells. nj.
The Massachusetts Ploughman some
time since had the following direction
in regard to digging wells: The old
way Of digging well and stoning it
up SO as to leave it about three feet in
diameter is q very good one if the wa
ter is to be drawn mp with buckets; but
if only with . pump, it is very poor
way for if, as is the usual custom, the
we'll be covered at the top, it leaves a
very large space for dead air, which so
often becomes so bad that it effects the
quality of water, and also makes it I'M
safe to enter the we'll. {. When we'll
thus stoned has only pump in it, the
covering should be under water, or very
near it; but if it is knwn that only q
pumps to be used, the expense Of ston-
ing may be saved, and the water kept
in a much better condition. This
is done by digging the well in a
dry time, and y when dug as low
as possible cement pipe, some
two feet in diameter and two OF
three feet long, is sunk at the bot
tom. and worked down as low as posi-
bile by digging out the inside. The
pipe should be covered with fat stone,
through the middle of which two-inch
hole has been drilled; directly over this
hole stand up drain pipe, then begin
to fill in the hole. When filled as high
as the top of the first piece of drain
pipe, put on another, being careful to
have it straight with the other and tho
line perpendicular continue filing and
adding drain pipe until it is as high as
the surrounding ground; or if the pump
is not to stand directly over the we'll, then
when it is filed within four feet of the
surface put in the pump pipe and lead
it off in trench to where the pump is
to stand. When it is found that the
pipe is all right, finish filling tho we'll,
leaving some durable mark that the
position of the we'll may be known.
a. we'll of this kind is reliable and
permanent, requiring no repairs; the
| water is cool and free from impurities
that opon wells are subject to; no in
sects or animals can find their way into
it, and the cost is not mora than one
half that Of we'll that is stoned. If
dug, as it should be, when the springs
are low, constant supply of water
that is as pure as the underground
springs are secured. AS the we'll is
always full, there is no chance for bad
air to injure the water, and in fact but
little danger of being polluted by sur
sounding cesspools, compared to that
Of open wells.
