also in putting down driven wells.
To drive a well IN inch pipe Is pre-
ferred. The lengths should not be
over feet. The first pipe to be driven
must have a point Of iron or STEEL
Any blacksmith who Is an expert at
welding can readily make point solid
in the end of the pipe, and then bore
numerous u Inch holes in 1t for the
| first IS inches of its length above the
point. Before driving a coupling must
be screwed down tight and fast on the
thread that Is to connect 1t to its mate,
so the thread may not be injured. Also
on top Of this coupling must always
rest block of lead or seasoned hick-
ory, to receive and distribute the con-
cussion, to preserve the pipe from de-
structien.
The pipe is driven the same as
post, another length being attached as
fast as one Is sunk in the ground. One
rule must never be forgotten: Each
length of pipe must be threaded so long
that it screws into the coupling and
rests (buts, they call it), on the end
of the pipe beneath 1t. This prevents
splitting the coupling and leaky joints.

There was no material difference IN
the condition Of the lambs In lots one
and four at the finish. While the lot
given corn silage was in better shape
than the one given sugar beets, 1t was
not as good as lots one and four. 1t II
