How small an element OF the city
population use table waters or spring
waters for drinking purposes is shown
by the daily consumption of the water
drawn from the city pipes. On two
days this year the amount passed the
record by nearly million gallons. 1t
is evident that the masses still use the
water Of the Pawtuxet and this is an
urgent necessity therefore, that the
city should begin it's filtration works at
the earliest moment.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

THERE is no ''luck" about farming.
Every success Is the result of well laid
plans and well directed efforts, and the
failures-with very rare exceptions-arc
because of the lack of these.
THE moro thoughtful, studious and
busincss-lilxe the farmer is, the more he
will prosper in his vocation. and the
more honor will he be accorded by his
fellow men. Get your boys started right
in this matter.
" planting fruit trees this spring, do
not fail 70 include a few peaches. Cut
back to single whip two and half
feet high. and set thirteen TO fourteen
feet apart Give good cultivation and
liberal manuring.
In order to have COW do well
through the summer she must be in
good condition when she comes to grass.
Otherwise you will have to feed and
pamper her, and this is something that
the dairyman rarely finds profit in doing.
WHEN buying tools or machinery for
the farm. see that every piece is as
lightly made as is consistent witch the
requisite strength. Both men and horses
waste much labor upon ncedlcssly heavy
tools With lighter ones more work
could be done and with less strain.
IT is a great mistake to wage miscel-
laneous warfare upon birds. While
some Of them do the farmer considera-
bic damage, he gains more than he loses
by them as whole. The English spar
row is perhaps the worst Of them all,
but poison should not be put about for
these because it win destroy many 9TH
