A Castor Oil Well.

A well on the farm of Wilbur Clutch
ess, twenty-four feet deep, went dry this
summer, and Mr.. Gutchess thought it
good time to deepen it. Gilbert & New
Kirk were engaged and drilled it four
teen feet deeper, finishing last Monday.
The drill went through several kinds Of
hard pan, and lastly into soft blue
rock, where vein of water was reached,
which Immediately filled the well to a
depth of fourteen feet, running in so
fast it is impossible to lower it by pump
ing. The water, when standing in
bucket or tank, appears to have a scum
on top which resembles petroleum in
every respect. But the waear smells
and tastes like castor oil, ard not a
living thing on the farm, not wen the
poultry, will touch it. Mr. datchess
carries bottle of the water around for
people to taste, and all accuse HIM of
filing up caster oil bottle with water;
but such is not the case, as cah be
proved to the satisfaction of any who
will take the trouble to visit the we'll.
The more the water is pumped out tire
worse it becomes. --Syracs1Se STANDARD.
