There Is Nothing Like tho Old stick We

A rod to the angler is what the gun
is to the huntsman or the ak to the
woodsman. The angler can fish with
a pole cut from the alders fringing
the stream; the huntsman can shoot
with the bow and hint-heade1 arrow
used by the American aborigines, and
the woodsman can cut with the ak OF
the stone age" but the success OF

ARTISAN WELLS the state geologist IS quoted in null:
 "Tbe general principles of flow ing wells are we'll understood, and it is only necessary to bear in mind there must be:
 l. A water-bearing stratum bed, usually of gravel or sand.
 2. A confining impervious bed, usually of clay, overlying the water-bearing bed.
 3. A head or source of supply higher than the mouth of the well, sufficient to bring the water to the surface when tapped.
 A section of a Memphis we'll shows the existence at that place of the water-beariug sand bed at depth of 1,2l5 feet, and of an over lying impervious bed. But these beds rise towards the east and come to the surface in the high lands of west Tennessee. This higher source of supply furnishes the head necessary to bring the water to the surface at Memphis, where the wells penetrate the inn pervious beds and enter the water bearing sands.
 The question then arises whether water may not be had in the same way at Helena, at Forrest City, and at other points along Crow
