WATER RIGHTS lNvIO
SPRINGS and Wells In Palestine
Protected by Severe Laws.

Protected by severe Laws.
Water is the most precious thing tn
Palestine. and the laws which protect
springs and wells are very severe.
Most OF the wells are artificial. Rich
men at very great expense have chs
eled basins aud reservoirs out of the
rocks TO receive the low from springs.
and in many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone n hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance TO
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheiks can afford
such an expenditure. Nevertheless.
they have not only been the greatest
benefactors of their fellow men. but
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments To
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts OF granite.
The temple OF solomon has vanished
forever. but the pools which he walled
up with masonry and filed with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham
and Jacob drilled In the rock as acts
or piety as well as power are as i'm
mortal as their names and Will live for
ever as long as men feel thirst
According TO n just custom OF tho
country, water rights could never be
forfeited. No man who owned n well
might refuse his nelghbor water for
his family or his flocks. but the lord
OF the spring was inviolate. No cred
itor or enemy could take his water
rights away from him. To injure or
I'LL up well was an objectionable
crime. When the Phllistines threw
earth and stones into the well OF Abra-
ham. they intended TO challenge 'him

toms and regulations remain today

THE YOUNG CORN ROOTS.

about as large as the hill. use level
cultivation and just stir the top of the
ground to keep down weeds. After
corn is planted / find the ground is all
full OF corn roots, even running from
one hill TO another, says a Maine cor
respondent of American Agriculturist.
The best time to work the ground Is
before the corn is planted, using the
spring tooth and disk harrow. This
can be done to perfection if we go over
the land times enough, always In an
opposite direction from the last time
we went over the ground. Then we can
get a good seed bed on every foot Of
ground.
When corn sprouts, the first sprout
is straight taproot going down one or
two inches before the stalk starts, as
shown at No. !. AS soon as the stalk
begins to grow the root puts out its
feeders (No. p just beneath the sur
face, and these develop. as shown at
No and No. 4. No. 8 shows where
the roots have been cut of by deep Gull
tivation. The plant stands still for
about a week after cultivation, when
it heals and puts out more little root
lets.
