Daring Aeronaut Shy of Horse.

~'y
A lockwood farmer thinks these
b~alloonist fellows are queer. He is
still scratching his head over a
strange remark by Capt. Honeywell.
AS the balloon was packed and ready
for shipment to st. Louis, a farmer
standing near, offered his team to
transport the balloon and the men to
lockwood. Honeywell demanded to
know if the horse was a safe one.
YES" said the farmer, but a bit
afraid to automobiles" Nothing do
ing then" said Honeywell. 81 wouldn't
care to risk my life behind a scary
horse" And Honeywell had ridden a
balloon from Kansas City, fleeing be-
fore a storm the whole way!--Toledo

tory over which he works, and the
price is so much per foot Of depth.
The man who does the drilling guar
antees to get a good supply of water.
but at no particular depth. He also
places the casing in the well. About
$500 a foot is an average cost in Mis-
souri,. A good piece OF work should
be expected at this figure.
Nothing is of greater Importance in
drilling a deep well than to secure the
services Of IN experienced. reliable
workman. A well that is improperly
drilled Or cheaply finished may be
worthless at the time of need. Every
n must decide for himself whether
his conditions demand a deep well, but
for those who decide ON this method
of supplying water, there should be
no question about the class of work
men to be employed. The casing
should be heavy and the pump of the
most substantial type.
The deep well is located where
most convenient. 1t is piped below
the porous soil, so that the entrance
of surface water is practically impos-
sible with a properly finished well.
Between the house and barn, where
the farmer is passing every day, is
usually a good location.
When the water is piped to the
house, the deep well is always a guard
against disease in the family. A mi
~croscopical examination of water from
43 deep wells showed an average Of
81 bacteria per cubic centimeter. A
similar examination of SO shallow
wells showed there to be 400 to TAO
bacteria per cubic centimeters, the
average being ,575. Outbreaks Of scar
let fever and other diseases, are often
traced to wells contaminated with dis
ease. The deep well acts as a life In
.fsurance in this respect.
Again, in the selling of the farm the
water supply has a prominent place.
q farm that is known in the neighbor-
hood as one that has an unfailing sup
ply Of water, is usually one with q
good reputation, and one that sells
readily.
The cost of a few seasons water
hauling, or the loss on n seasons
crop of stock when caught in a
drought may easily be greater than
the cost Of a deep we'll adequately fur
nished. 1t is the part of wisdom to
beat the drought to this expenditure,
and invest the money where it will
yield permanent returns. The stock
farm is not complete until it is as.
sured of pure drinking water forever.

expenditure Of much time and effort
do birds procure their daily food.
When by reasons of favorable con
ditions, insects have multiplied and
become unusually abundant, birds eat
much more than at ordinary times.
Hence, their Importance during insect
invasions. 1t is not, however, at such
periods that their services are of most
value. It is their persistent activity
in destroying insects every day, at
all seasons, and at all stages of
growth-the long, steady pull rather
than the spasmodic effort-that tends
to prevent insect eruption and to keep
the balance true.
Few birds are wholly beneficial, and
there are very few among the harmful
ones that have no redeeming' features.
Most birds most of the time are bene-
fetal; a few birds most of the time
are injurious. Certain species NAV

animation Of the contents of the

Of several thousand has established
the fact that their food consists al.
most entirely of injurious mammals
and insects. And that, accordingly.
these birds are in most cases posi-
lively beneficial to the farmer, and
should be fossered and protected.
Among the wholly beneficial are the
large, roughlegged hawk; it's near rel.

PLASTIC SURGERY MAY HELP

Plastic surgery is a branch of min
or surgery n comprises the rebuild

and parts of features. and, the cor
rection generally of defects by slight
operations.
1t is a much easier operation to add
to than to deduct from a part. though
each is done very satisfactorily. Say
there is d depression at the saddle of
the nose, Or that the nose is too re-
trousse. In these instances Il hydro
carbon miXture is introduced sub-
c~utancously. raising the depression
to normal contour. Suppose the nosc
is too large. The nostril is reshaped

nose.
il the eyes are very small. the
plastic surgeon opens the outer cor
her; is there q bag of flesh under
meath the chin. he deftly cuts that out.
takes a few stitches. and in a few
days only q faint line. which vanish

tent of the former state. If the con-
tour Of the face is lost. the cheeks

IN similar fashion does the plastic
surgeon alter the shape of an ugly
mouth, remove the wrinklcd skin in
front Of the ears. smooth out the
forehead. reshape the throat, remoulI
shoulders, round out unsightly elbows,
and fill in hollows in the arms. Most
Of the operations are almost painless,
heal quickly. and leave no scars.
But for all the wonders Of the plas-
tic surgeons accomplishments he
is to be regarded only as a court Of
last resort, when every effort has been
