FARM WATER SUPPLY.
Why the Wall of the Well Should BE
Substantially and Carefully
Backed with Gravel

If when the well is first built the
wall, although of stone, brick or sew
er pipe, is properly backed with gravel
no mud or sand will come into the
well. no cavern will be formed and no
clearing out" will be required.
l have made drawing to illustrate
this. 1t is a section through the bot
tom of the well. On the right-hand
side the wall is shown backed with
gravel as it should be, the earth be-
You'd standing intact. The left-hand
side shows the result where the inev-
liable spaces behind the wall were not
so filled when the we'll was built. The
dark shading TO the left is section
through the soft slime in the bottom
of the cavern; the cavern above being
shown in something the shape it will
take where the water is very shallow, as
it is in many old wells.
Of course we do not find the walls
regular and in courses, as in the draw
ing, but shapeless or in all shapes.
The top of the wall is shown ready to
serve as the foundation of q tube of

COULD SCARCELY RAISE HIS HAND.
Vet took care of seventy head of stock.
The farmer who found a friend.

Serious results often follow strain,
especially when it affects the back, and
few people are so liable to strain as those
who, are lifting heavy loads of various
kinds, from day to day. The teamster
rarely ever overtaxes his strength. Fa-
miliarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts so as not to put an excessive
burden on himself. But with the farmer
it is different. He is lifting loads of such
varying weights and under such varying
conditions that he is very liable to lift a
little too much some day, with injurious
results. Many serious affections of the
great organs of the body originate in a
strain. 1t was so in the case of H. r. w.
Bentley, of Towner,. North Dakota, A
strain resulted in serious trouble with the
liver. How he recovered and was enabled
to feed seventy head of stock during the
winter, let him tell himself:
"About year ago, sustained an injury
in my back and shoulders by lifting a
heavy weight. After time, liver trouble
came on, which so weakened me that
could scarcely lift my hand to my head.
While in this condition. began the use of
DR.. J. c. Ayers Pills, and finding almost
immediate benefit, continued until was

concrete, to be built TO near the top,
where the cemented brickwork be-
gins which is to make watertight,
''bug-proof" joint with the floor and
well-curb of the well-room. OF course
this brickwork must come up through
the floor, and the joint must be out
side, and not on top of it, because the
wall will settle.
The hanging platform, and the adj
Unstable form behind which the con-
crete is filled in, would require a
separate article with Illustrations.
But I consider concrete much the best
as well as cheapest wall, chiefly be-
cause it is as easily built 2H or feet
in the clear as smaller; thus giving
ample room to let down inside tub
ing and do the work in case it should
become necessary to sink the well
deeper.
The practical limit of size for sewer
pipe well is about two feet in the clear,
but even that is too small to work in
with comfort But sewer-pipe seems
such an ideal wall that it will be ex-
tensively used, anyway. In that case
the well should be dug two or three feet
deeper after the average well digger
says sit is plenty deep enough" even
if a pump has to be rugged to keep out
the water. Then it should be enlarged
for gravel, the bottom pipe rested and
plumbed on three brickbats, filled be-
hind with the washed gravel to above
high water, and the bottom of the well
covered with gravel to a couple of
inches above the bottom of the sewer
pipe. This gives free circulation be-
tween the water in the gravel behind
and that in the well, but no trace of
mud can enter.
One thing more and the bottom of
the we'll is complete. Make the space
wide enough behind the next sewer
pipe above high water to back it solid
with concrete, made, say, of Akron
water lime and gravel poured in be-
hind and, if need be, broken stone
tampcd into it. This protects the
gravel and water behind from any rats
or vermin that might burrow into the
cavity behind the sewer-pipe above.
The sinking of the bottom sewer
pipe through quicksand, by shrinking
on to the bottom end hoop, say of
heavy galvanized iron, with the cutting
edge projecting couple of inches be-
low; and the mode of standing on a
strip of hard wood laid across and of
cutting away and dipping out from un-
der water the sand, clay, ETC., and the
mode of making the pipe go down
plumb by striking the high side, on said
wooden strip, with a heavy Jar" can
only be indicated here. In the case of
old wells where the wall cannot be dis
turbed with safety, l generally sink
deeper by this method.-J. w. Pike, in

Best Food In Summer.

Considering the fact that there is usu.
ally an abundance of food on the grass
plots and in the fields in summer, there
is really no necessity for feeding at all
in warm weather, but as some will pre-
fer to allow food, the best substance is
raw meat, using only that which is lean,
giving none of the fat portions. The
meat must be fresh, or it will prove
injurious, and the cheaper kinds, such
as the neck, liver, and other undesirable
portions, will serve the purpose as well
as the best. Blood is excellent, as it
may be mixed with corn meal and
cooked in bag. 1t is highly nitro
genous, and gives excellent results.
Grain is not necessary in summer, as
the hens find substitutes therefor in the
form of seeds.-American Gardening.

Care of Turkey Chicks.

Little turkeys need no food for the
first "a hours, and then should be fed
some thing light and nutritious. They
require considerable care for the first
eight or ten weeks. Some growers con-
fine the hen turkey in movable Stat
crate the first few days and allow the
little ones full liberty. Others instead
of combining the hen, tie one of her
feet to peg driven inthe ground. An
other plan, quite generally followed, is
to put the little turkeys inside large
triangular pen and give the hen her lib
erty. The pen is moved frequently to
fresh ground. When the little ones con
jump over the 12-inch board they wah-
der at full liberty with the hen.-Rural

The action of DR.. Ayers Pills on the
liver makes them invaluable for those
living in malarial climates. c. F. Aston,
Quitman, Texas, writes:
ct have found in DIR, J. c. Ayers Pills an
invaluable remedy for constipation, bill
iousness, and kindred disorders, peculiar
to miasmatic localities. Taken in small
and frequent doses, these pills act well on
the liver, aiding it in throwing off malarial
poisons, and restoring its natural powers.
l could not dispense with the use of DIR.
Ayers Pills."-C. F. ALsIoN, Quitman, Tex.
DR.. Ayers Pills are specific for all dis
eases of the liver, stomach, and bowels,

Procure a Set of Tools.

1t is to the interest of the farmer to
have set of tools always on hand, such
as saws, chisels, planes, drills, hatchets,
hammers, ETC., and several sizes of nails,
spikes and bolts. A small tool house
should be built, or a space partitioned
off in the granary, if it is large enough,
for the exclusive use of the man who
must do repairs to machinery, fences,
gates, ETC., during the busy season.
Such an investment will pay the owner
many times over.--Dakota Field aid

Life and the Liver.

Success in life depends upon the liver"
is the way Chas. Lamb, the poet and punster,
nine-tenths of the ailments of living have
their origin in the liver, and in constipation
caused by it's arrangements. Keep the liver
lively and all will be well. Modern science
points out Cascarets as the only perfect
gentle, positive liver regulator fit to be used
in the delicate human organism. All drug
gists sell Cascarets l0c, 25c, SOC and we rec
ommend them most heartily.

The grievances of sailors examined by the
authorities in ports of entry, where the sea-
men belong, often turn out to be imaginary
or greatly exaggerated. But there are plen-
ty of cruel and constituencies shippers who
abuse their crews. Violence is always OBJ
jectionable, and pointedly so when it is ex-
erted upon an unfortunate liver, stomach
or bowels by dosing with drastic purgatives
which weaken the intestines. Use Hostel
