few little channels for itself toward the
tile. Is is known that such little chan
nels are made from points a. far away
as twenty-five feet from a four-foot
drain. IL may be taken for granted,
then, that well drains naturally
very large area about IL, and the inn
portance Of allowing nothing OF filthy
nature TO exist within that area ought
20 be apparent. IL sometimes happens
that well Is contaminated by matter
brought from considerable distance
by surface water in time of spring
freshet or heavy rain at other sea-
sons. To obviate this the ground about
a well should have a height OF some
two feet, mound like arrangement
around the well curb, as shown in Fig.
4. well may also be contaminated by
earth worms, rats, mice or toads. IL is
wise, therefore, to lay the upper por-
ton OF the wall in cement aud bring
the wall up tight under the platform.

glance that liquids soaking down upon

When IL happens that nothing filthy

dip on two sides toward the well,
which has perhaps been dug purposely
In depression, with the idea of a
greater likelihood of there finding
water Any filth on two sides OF a
well may thus be conveyed into IT,.
Moreover, in the case OF soil that Is

natural drainage toward well, as Is
indicated in Fig. 3.

SELECTING lAYERs.
The Experience OF Poultryman Who Has
Kept Ills Eyes Open.

The Experience OF Poultryman Who Has
Kept Ills Eyes Open.
II is true that there Is no infallible
rule for selecting the best layers in
flock OF hens, but there are few indi-
cations that show which hens are prob
ably the best layers. ] probably,
for the rule does not always work, and
exceptions To IL are not rare.
II will be understood by this that l
only give these rules from observation
among my own hocks, and from my
own experience
The most active hens in flock arc
usually the best layers. The hen who
stands ready 20 run out of the house In
the morning rs soon "a the door opens
and dies at the feed as If she were
starving. Is the one that viii produce
the most eggs, commonly. Such hen
will not stand around in the sun after
eating her morning feed, but will be
seen far away from the house foraging
for food. She is the hen that sings as
she goes about, and Is tho one who
will find her way into the garden IL
she can possibly get there.
A large comb Is "A sign OF good
layer. by this mean "A large comb for
the breed she belongs TO- Almost in
variably the Lcghorn hen that has a
large thin comb that drops down over
one eye will bc found 20 be a good
layer The comb Of u good layer Is OF
bright red all the time she is laying,
and as soon as IL becomes pale, or dark
colored. you may be sure she has
ceased 20 lay
The good layer is rather narrow
across the shoulder and wide In the
rump, with the rear Of her body deep
and low. Her feathers are glossy and
her eve bright, and she Is full OF life
and action. II hen possesses all
these indications, there Is not much
danger in picking her for a breeder,
as She will almost always be prolific
aud eggs produced by her will be fer
tile and the chicks strong aud vigorous.

FARM AND GARDEN.
EARLY LAME RAISING.

Some Valuable Hints from m Ola Hand
mt the business
There Is money IN early lambs II you
live within easy access Of some good
market and have natural grass farm.
Lambs do not bear long transportation,
and twelve to twenty hours Is as long
as they should be en- route TO market.
Begin by purchasing a flock Of two
year-old sheep, say August /, after
their lambs are weaned, about half
Southdown and half Merino, or natives
Give your flock good pasture, and avoid
all excitement of dogs and noise, and
get your sheep as familiar with you by
quiet and kindness as possible, giving
them salt twice week, and when win
ter first sets In take them from pasture
aud have nice large, dry yard con-
nected with your sheep barn fenced
with four-foot board fence, and then
a three-foot wire netting on the top,
so that dogs can't get In TO bite or scare
them.
Have the barn dry and warm, but
not too tight, and with windows open
ing 10 the south for sun, as sheep like
that In winter, and a small room In one
end made quite tight and warm by cell
ing inside, filling In with sawdust SO
as TO avoid frost, in which TO keep your
grain, salt, etc, and also as place 10
put your ewes few days before they
drop their lambs, and also few days
after, till they and their lambs are
strong enough 10 be placed with the
flock; and movable partitions in this
room are very useful, so that IL may be
divided into two or three or more parts
as necessary, in case a sheep does not
! do well or fails 20 own her lamb land
here let me say sometimes dog tied
| In one corner will effect a cure of that
fault in few hours) II you can have
a spring or very small stream in the
yard do so. and IL not you must water
from well. once n day will do, till
near lnmbing time and then always
twice.
Now as to feed: Sheep farmers al
ways raise corn and they wish To feed
some stalks in early winter, but they
should be cut and cured early and fed
once day only, and at night feed hay;
and supposing you 70 have fifty good
ewes land that is all ever should be
kept I'm one party, and twenty-five is
better), feed at night one-fourth bushel
% sound whole corn, and you may grad
ually increase Thu feed so that by Jam
nary Is you are feeding one-half a
bushel; after this time add good sound
oats gradually, SO that by February is
you are feeding half bushel of each
per day and If you have good early cut
fine hay, natural meadow or clover hay,
together with one bushel OF carrots or
roots OF some sort. this is grain enough,
and your sheep will not require great
amount Of hay, and only feed just what
they readily will take, as many farm
ers make their sheep dainty by feeding
too much hay; better keep them little
hungry for hay.
And now about the care Of your lambs

views Her Experience and Tells the
Real Cause OF tho Miracle.


We have long known Mrs. Jas. NJ Todd,
of Long Rapids, Alpcna Co, Mich. Sho
has been sad cripple. Many Of her friends
knpw tho story OF her recovery; for the
penefit OF those who do not we publish II to-
Eight years ago she was taken with nerv-
Gus prostration, and In q few months with
muscular and inhammatory rheumatism.
II affected her heart, then her head. Her feet
became so swollen she could wear nothing
on them; her hands were drawn all out OF
shape. Her eyes were swollen shut moro
than half the time, her knee joints terribly
swollen and for eighteen months she had
co be held up TO be dressed. One limb be-
came entirely helpless, and the skin was 50
dry and cracked that Il would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated by
score OF physicians, and has also spent
much time Mt Ann Arbor under best medi-
cal advice. All said her trouble was
brought on by hard work and that medicine
would not cure, and that rest was the only
thing which would ease her. After going
70 live with her daughter she became entire
ly helpless and could not even raise her
arms TO cover herself at night The inter-
osting part OF the story follows In her own
words:
