Echoes From the Farm.

Echoes From the Farm.
Freezing that gets down to buried
water pipes ought to get down deep
enough to give the subsoil a greater
renovating than it has had in a num-
Der Of years.
, Water that is in motion will not
freeze easily, SO many let the water
run little all the time where possible
to prevent freezing. The pump lines
on the farms suffered more than the
water systems in the towns, because
it was impossible to keep the water
moving enough in the shallower laid
lines to prevent freezing.
Something like six years ago we
laid pipes through which water is
pumped 800 feet. Many told us that
pipes laid eighteen inches deep would
never freeze here, but the man from
whom we bought the complete outfit
told us to pay no attention to such
talk, but to dig three feet deep by
actual measurement every foot of the
way and keep the dirt well over the
pipe all the time, especially through
the yards. We followed his instruc-
tons and were fortunate in not hav-
ing the pipe frozen.
The potato loss has been consider
able by freezing. One Of our neigh
bors kept an oil stove in his cellar
continuously during the coolest
weather, taking it out only when
warmer weather came, but after
that, when it seemed the danger was
over, he lost forty-four bushels.
The cold seemed to get in the cellars
and deeper into the ground after the
weather moderated, even after it
thawed little on the surface each
day.
1t takes only little figuring, ap-
parently, to prove that the landlord
is not trying to "hog it" by asking
the prevailing prices charged renters.
He is only trying to get prevailing
rates Of interest on his Investment,
rates he could easily secure at less
bother than to have the money tied
up in farm land which requires more
or less overseeing. The only remedy
appears to be reduction in the price
of land, and that does not seem prob
able, unless the price of everything
else takes tumble.
One year we planted a few acres
of our upland to large, deep grained
corn we had been growing along the
creek bottom. This trial Of it satisfied
us that we raised less corn by attempt
ing to grow the big stuff than as if
we had planted medium grained
corn. Though fair corn season, a
medium sized sort grown alongside
yielded more and better corn, the big
stuff not frightening out in the ear as
it should. The ears were short in
length though big at the butt, and
were terrors to husk. Too much of
it were awkward shaped nubs.
There are still many renters who
do not know where they are to farm
the coming season, and with moving
day only four weeks away. There is
a probability that some will have to
move to town, if they can find houses
vacant to. move into. Never before
has it been SO difficult for renters to
locate, mainly because the renters
seem to be greater in number than the
farms for rent. The higher rent
charged is a factor with some, many
declaring they win quit the farm
rather than pay it. Enough are pay
ing it, though, 50 all farms for rent
are being quickly snatched up.
The price the renter must pay, toll

JOSH GAVE THE CUP.
But He Couldn't Make Good on the
Bear Proposition.

Josh Billings, the gaunt, long haired
philosopher, was one Of the most gen.
Ial of men. Many of his III spelled
sayings were meaty, and one Of them
ut least WINS worthy Of Solomon 1t
was:
1.-THE best way for father to trnin
his boy In the way he should go is to
60 that way himself"
Some years ago, when Josh was stay
ing in the White mountains, he was
charmed by beautiful spring of clear.
icy cold water which bubbled up Mt
the side of the highway. He made the
carriage stop and. removing his SLOUGH
hat, lay down on his face and drank
a deep, refreshing draft. In compli.
nent to him the residents In the neigh
borhoQd named the fountain "Josh
Billings spring." and 1t has thus been
known ever since.
At the nearest village Josh bought
huge tin cup and scratched on its
side the warning:
Whoever steals this fine big cup
BY big black bear will be eat up.

This cup was placed on . broad.
dat stone within convenient reach. a
few days later the humorist, having
nursed consuming thirst, walked all
the way to the spring to quench the
same. To his dlsmay and anger the
utensil was gone, and on a sapling
near at hand was tackled bit Of pm
