in accordance with the suggestion of
the association, but the beauty and
symmetry of the grounds are much
married by the hedges that are yet re-
naming and which should be taken

S. D., have successfully solved the
problem of running a Touring mill by
artesian we'll power. The mill makes
100 barrels Of -four per day, besides
grinding two carloads of feed. The
power is supplied by seven-inch well
about 900 feet deep. The motor cost
$3.50, and the total cost of we'll and fix
lures was only about So, 900. The mo-
tor is run by stream of water from a
Il inch nozzle and easily furnishes
power to run the entire machinery of
the mill 1t is believed that the saving
in fuel and engineers salary will pay
for the well and motor in one year.
