FARM WELLS.

The wells on the farm ore great
source from which come many diseases.
Some wells are never cleaned. When
dug they are carefully boarded over, the
pump made tight and snug, with the
ground sloping away on all sides so as to
allow the surface water to Tow from the
opening. There is no we'll water that is
pure. Something depends on the
character of the soil. If sandy, and the
water will disappear quickly from the
surface after a rain, the we'll will drain
the soil for long distance around it,
and the consequence will be that large
portion of the filth of the soil will find
its way into the we'll, although the water
may appear sparkling and bright. 1t is
contended that the soil removes all the
impurities from the water, but this de-
pends upon whether the soil, by long
continued absorption, be not already SO
thoroughly saturated with impurities as
to refuse to take up more. That the soil
does not remove all the impurities, even
from new ground where a we'll has been
recently dug, has been demonstrated by
saturating the surface earth at distance
from the we'll with kerosene oil, which
gradually found its way to the well,
(having been washed down by the rains),
and impaired its odor to the water.
If the soil be of heavy clay the danger
will be lessencd, but on all porous soil
the liability Of pollution of the water is
great. No manure heaps, privies, sinks
or other receptacle for filth or refuse of
any kind should be within $50 feet OF
the well-the further off the better. No
matter how tight the we'll may be, the
toad will sometimes contriVe to get in.
Many wells contain toads that die, and
are swallowed in the drinking water un-
knowingly, under the supposition that
the we'll is tight and "toad proof" Wells
should be cleaned at least once a year,
and especially in the fall. For dis
tance OF ten feet around the we'll the
surface should be cemented, and the
pump itself should be cleaned occasional
ly. Toads, flies, bugs, worms and even
gnats will get into the water, while even
a few drops Of solution from a filthy
drain or sink, finding its way into the
well, carry bacteria enough rapidly to
multiply and contaminate all of the
water. Roots of trees and vines also
serve as drains into the wells, as they
loosen the soil, and for that reason they
should never be planted near the source
of drinking water.-Sanitary Nesos.

CAPTURING ASCENDING swARMs.

3 Swarms sometimes break cluster and
take wing before the beekeeper has hived
them. Throwing dirt among them will
sometimes cause them to alight again.
Professor A. J. Cook advises throwing
water in the form of a fine spray among
them. For such purpose some hand
pump is very desirable. Another i'm
portant use for such pump, mentioned
by the Professor, is this: If the swarm,
when clustered, be sprinkled occasional
" it will remain clustered indefinitely

AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
TRANsPLANTING POT.

A valuable addition to the working
outfit of gardener is a new transplanting
pot made in three parts, the body being
diyisible and the bottom removable.
In transplanting the bottom is removed
from the body, the pot inserted in hole
in the ground, and the keys which con-
troll the grip of the side pieces with
drawn, when the valves are pressed
laterally apart and raised from the earth,
leaving the earth and plant it had con-

SOFT-SHELLED EGGS.

The shell of an egg is deposited over
the egg very rapidly from secretion ex-
uding from the membrane of the egg
passage, and after the egg with its
fibrous covering the soft shell, So
called,) has been formed. When the Sc
creting membrane is diseased, as by in
fanmation, its function is disturbed, and
the hard lime shell IS not formed. Over
feeding and excessive fatness will pro-
duce this condition. Give the fowls
plenty of grass but no grain for several
days, then give plenty of bran with
scalded oatmeal. A few days imprison-
ment in a coop without any food will
work an unfailing cure.-Ne0 York
Times.

HUGE HORSE VS.. TWO ACTIVE HORSES.
B There Is contest among some breed
ers of draught horses as to who can pro-
duce the largest animal. The argument
advanced by these men is that the time
must shortly come when the increased
trade in city streets will compel express
men and others to dispense with their
two-horse wagons and substitute smaller
wagons drawn by one large horse. This
Is plausible theory, but it does not ap-
pear to agree with the statements made
by the expressmen who are to try the
horses. The Rural Neu Yorker has wit
messed number of them in New York
city, and all that have been seen agree
that they prefer two active horses to one
huge beast. The large horses are in
good demand for trucking purposes, but
those who breed them with the thought
of driving out the active express horse
are sure to be disappointed.

THE RlsHOPvILLE PosToFFICE.
A Statement of tn Facts AS to Why the
Office Was Closed.


B1sIopyILLE, S. g., Oct. 2.-On Mon
day last our postoffice was formally
closed by a postal official sent here for
that purpose, and our mail is now lett
at another Office six miles away Be
cause, as John Wannamaker expressed
it: "If the people of Bishopville will
not stand negro postmaster, they Will
have to do without a postoffice."
Perhaps statement OF the facts lead
ing up to this will be interesting.
Some time ago Rev. l. r. Miller, a
negro preacher, was appointed post
master at this place. A few days after
he assume d the discharge of the duties
of the Office he was arrested upon the
street by the police of the to wn fol
carrying concealed deadly weapons,
there being an ordinance of the town
prohibiting the carrying OF concealed
deadly weapons upon the person. Mil
Ter was arraigned before the town
council, tried, found guilty, and tined
for the offenSe.
After Miller was discharged by the
town authorities, citizen OF the town
went before Trial Justice and swore
out a warrant for the aforesaid ofense
under the statutes of the State. Mil,
ler, learning of this, proposed to this
prosecutor if he would withdraw this
prosecution he (Miller) would leave
the place. This was agreed to. Accord
ipgly Miller appointed an assistant
poStmaster,--Mr. Scarborough. our for
mer postmaster, teldered his resigna=
tion, and left here, and thus matters
have remained until now.
We have the spectacle of the United
States government playing the game of
spite" at little country town, because
Il negro official violates State and mu-
nicipal laws, and is likely to get him
self into serious trouble thereby, and to
save himself the penalties, which he
knows he justly deserves, abandons his
appointment.
The Postmaster General Of a great
and powerful government subjects all
the citizens of town and thickly set
lied community to the great incon-
yenience of want of mail facilities.
We suppose if the "Rev." |. R. Miller
had violated every statue law OF the
State and every ordinance OF the town
the people should have stood mutely
aghast and let him alone because he
held postmaster's commission from
the great Sunday school lecturer, the
Hon. John Wannamaker.
Ifit has come to that, that We must
allow all manner of violation Of law at
the hands Of some government pet, or
be denied those rights and privileges
and advantages which under the con-
stitution and laws, and by virtue OF
our being tax paying subjects, we are
entitled, then we say:

Philadelphia Republicans Fried to Save
Mckinley.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 3.-The immor-

The immediate occasion for the re-

leaders consider us necessary to the

New YORK, Oct. 2.-rhe authorities
at the barge Office this morning used an
immense amount or moral suaSlOn on
thirty-two young women, who arrived
Yesterday on the steamer Wyoming, to
induce them to forego their intention
of becoming proselytes TO the Mormon
faith. The girls were separated from
the rest of the passengers as they land
ed, and placed in room by themselves.
Three female missionaries from the
Emigrant Girls Home went among
them and tried to convince them ofthe
folly of the course they proposed to
follow.
It was very hard undertaking. One
of the girls, Karen Sylvester by name,
who acted as spokeswoman for the
party, frankly acknowledged that they
were all willing to be one of seven or
eight wives, and were fully aware of
the principles of Mormonism. The
girls are all young and pretty and the
attempt of the missionaries to lntiu-
ence them proved al utter failure. and
as all that the barge Office authorities
can do is to use persuasion, the entire
party Will pioSOeo oLt 1ieAA Jout IVY W
morrow by the Old Dominion Line Via
Newport News, Va.
The party comprises, all told, two
hundred and two persons, OF whom
are children. Among them
is married English woman who left
her husband in England to take up
the Mormon faitk She said she was
called and compelled to go. She refused
to tell her name.
THE National Democrat notes the
fact that in 1874 the Republican party
went to the country on a record of pro-
higacy and a force bill. and they were
beaten out of sight. They are going to
the country with the same record in
1890. It is the same country, and we
