water PUSHES up with such rapidity
that the auger-hole must DO plugged
until the wall is made,
The size of tile for wall Is usually
five-inch. 1t Is we'll to have few
pieces OF smaller size at hand, also
some broken lengths for blinking.
Place the tiles in circle around bot.
tom Of well as shown. Should the
last one Of the layer not fit snugly,
use smaller size or the broken pieces,
securing it in such way that all the
tiles will be firm. Continue layer upon

reached
In case the water enters the well as
rapidly as it can be pumped out, the
wall may be simply large tiles placed
one above another. This operation
may be done wholly from the top, II a
guide is made for holding the tile in
place as it is lowered until earth Is
filed around, When completed, the
excavation is filed by replacing the
earth, and nothing Is open except the
interior Of the column Of tile. For
such a wall as this, care should be
taken to secure strong, thick tile
which have been thoroughly burned,
and free from cracks.
Several wells Of this description
have been made in this vicinity. Al.
though limestone is easily obtained,
many prefer the drain tile, and the
after Is growing in favor for the pur-

you have not that kind OF soil, any

nature, and you want to put flax on
them, do not fail to drain them, This
work should be undertaken In time
for the soil to dry out; this may mean
one or two years previous to putting
on the crop.
1t exhausts the land, and rotation Is
desirable, returning the flax to the same
land, say once every five years. In
manuring, do not use fresh manure un-
less certain that 1t does not contain
weed and grass seeds.
There Is m impression among flax
growers that the crop does particularly
well after wheat, provided the soil is
rich. Potatoes are used when the land
Is poor, as the extra manure usually
applied to potatoes leaves the land In
better condition for the following crop
OF flax. Corn Is also a good crop to pre-
cede flax, provided the corn be kept
clean, so no weeds will mature their
seeds to trouble the flax. Plow deep,
