Farm Wells

The location of the well ON the farm is
of the greatest importance. In many in
stances the farmer starts his well near
the buildings and yards. and selects
the lowest point as a location, with the
idea that he will not have to dig as
deep as he would upon higher land.
This is often mistake, as we know of
Several places in a village where. the
wells near the top of the hill are not
as deep and are not as much affected
by drought as those on the lower land
at the foot of the hill, though there
may be fifty or hundred feet differ
ence in The elevation. But the chief OBJ
lection to the well on the low ground
is that ii receives the surface drainage
from the higher land. and thus the
water soon becomes so contaminated as
TO be unfit for use, either by the family
or the animals. for to be healthy they
must have pure water. In these days
of "a ven wells, a pipe can often be
sunk on the highest gravel knoll or sand
hin on the farm more cheaply than in
the low land. and when water is reach
ed it is pure and will continue so, be-
cause the su face water runs away
from it, and not toward it. IL wind
mill is erected the wind power Is bet
ter, and by tank and pipes water can
be brought to house, barn and yards,
or carried to irrigate the garden and
strawberry bed in a way to make it
doubIy pay for itself, first in saving of
in increased crops by having = water
supply when needed. Many man who
thought he could not afford to put in a
new well has paid out more cash for
doctors and undertaker's bills than the
well would have cost.-American Gull

From various experiments respecting
connection between thunderstorms and
the souring of milk Prof. II. w. Conn
draws the conclusion that electricity is
not of itself capable of souring milk
or even of materially Fastening the
process, nor can the ozone developed
during the thunderstorm be looked
upon as of any great Importance. 1t
seems probable that the connection be-
tween the thunderstorm and the sour

Great Il the American Hen.

The American hen is great institu-
ton. At a rough estimate there are
eiout $50, 00OOO0 of her in the United
States and each year they produce
something like 14,000.000,000 eggs,
which represent $1T5,000,000. About
s130. 100000 worth of poultry is eaten
in the country during a year, and the
value of the living hens, at 80 cents
apiece, is figured at S1j0,000 900 So the
hen stands for about $455, 100000 in the
yearly economics of the United States.
The hen outdoes the iron industry, the
coal industry. the wheat crop and the
corn crop. incidentally soaring more
than 100000 ahead of the total year

Advanced Farmina..

Around the stove Of many d country
store during stormy wintry days will
be assembled farmers who descant of
the hardships of farming. says Col
mans Rural World. Oh. that many
such might know the weary, monoton-
Gus toll of the mechanic and laboring
man of the great cities, and the clerk
and office man, whose greatest change
is from office to home and vive versa.
Many farmers who are thus prone TO
bemoan the drudgery of fate fail to
realize how much the century has given
to agriculture and to grasp the still
sterner truth that success anywhere,
everywhere means hard work and
much hard work. How many would
continue if wheat We're now scattered
by the handful, cut with cradle and
threshed with fail? Where would be
the wheat fields of California? How
many would plant corn with hoe, and
largely cultivate with the same primi-
tive implement? Where would be the
forests of corn in Missouri? The farmer
who is tussling with the question of
making all improved agricultural ma
chinery serve his best interests in or
der to have time for studying the intri-
cate and complicated problems Of his
farm operations, rather than bemoaa-

allow the vane to swing through the
vane OF coming into the wind. The
size and power of these motors are linn
tied only by the length of arms and
axis and the area of the vanes, which
will depend, in turn, upon the use to
which it is to be put and the pocket
book of the owner.
THE power will be considerable with
very little expense, as an arm of ~
feet in length viii support a yane of 10
feet square-that is to say, surface of
100 square feet to be opposed to the
wind. With a fair wind this would be
equal to several horsepower. Probably
vanes one-fourth that size, 5 by feet,
would suffice for ordinary pumping, es-
pecially if placed on arms of 10 feet in
length.
"The vertical axis must be high
enough to reach above wind obstruc-
tions, yet in case of the motor being
placed on a barn or on a tank with a
tower the axis could be considera bly, re-
duced. The manner of supporting the
axis, as well as the means of transfer

err in each particular case. For most

Pure Bred shee }.

The increase in the use of pure bred
rams to grade up the sheep is account
able not only for the larger clips of
wool. but for t!le increased demand for
mutton and lamb in our markets. To
use a grade ram is poor economy when
the pure bred can be bought as cheaply
as now, and the larger profits in both
lambs ana wool will soon repay the
cost of really good sire to head the
flock. There has been much said and
written about the large profit to be
made in having lambs dropped in the
fall or early winter and ready to sell in
the spring. but unless one has place
well fitted up so that the lambs can be
kept warm we doubt if there is much
more profit in them than in spring
lambs. The extra care and extra feed
take no small part of the extra price
