Congressman Smith has made vigor
GUS protest at the postoffice depart
ment against the failure of the de-
partment to make a reasonable provi-
sion for increased compensation to the
star route mail carriers in Idaho on ac-
count of the Inauguration of the parcel
post system. At the time the contracts
were entered into the additional weight
of the mails incident to the Inaugural
ton of the parcel post system was not
contemplated, and the carriers have
found it necessary to provide additional
horses and wagons in order to take care
of the large quantity of packages
which is now being carried through the
mails. In many instances marketing is
sent to the towns through the mails,
and in some of the remote places in the
state great deal of merchandise is
carried, which imposes an extra burden
on the mail contractors. A great deal
of the merchandise which was hereto
fore sent by express and freight is now
sent through the mails. The depart
ment weighs the mails during March
and April at time when the mails are
the lightest, especially in the mining
sections of the state. Congressman
Smith contends that it is unfair to the
carrier to adjust any allowance which
may be made for carrying parcel post
packages on weighing conducted dur
ing those months and that the weighing
should be made during June and July
especially in remote places in order t.
get fair estimate of the quantity o.
mail carried during the year upon which
to make the calculation for extra com
pensation for the increased quantity

Protection of Wells.

The necessity of protecting wells alb
solutely against any chance of pollution
from surface drainage or infilteration
of water just below the surface of the
ground is a well-known principal OF
sanitatary science. However, the hazy
ideas that are prevalent as to ways and
means of effecting this protection have
led the writer to make the following
notes on construction of wells:
The curb of the well should be twelve
to fourteen inches above the surface OF
the ground At the surface of the
ground there should be a platform of
concrete or stone, sloping away from
the walls of the we'll The edge of this
platform should be at least four feet
from the wall. The walls themselves
should be so constructed that no water
can pass through them without having
percolated through at least eight to
twelve feet of soil, depending upon the
character of the soil. The top of the
well should be covered with a water
tight cover of wood, concrete or stone.
If wood is used, nothing should be con-
sidered but ship-1ap or tongue-and-
groove lumber.
Bored, drilled or driven wells usually
have a shallow pit to protect the pump
ing apparatus from frost. These all
should be constructed and protected
with as much care as the dug well.
Drainage entering this pit, either by
the direct route of falling through the
cover or percolating through a few
inches of soil, is cumulative and will
follow the path of least resistance down
the casing and in time grossly pollute
the water below.
Old wells can be remodled by raising
the curb and digging out the dirt or
the outside of the wells, and then
plastering the walls with cement plaster
two parts sand and one part of &C.
ment. The we'll should then be en-
cased with clay puddle or concrete
The final step would be platform or
the surface of the ground sloping away
from the well.
By carefully following these direc
tions and locating the well at least 10(
feet from a privy or cesspool, there
need be little danger of having con
taminated we'll unless the ground watel
itself is polluted by larger sources thar
privy or cesspool. Or again, the priv,
or cesspool may be in the same waite
level that furnishes the well will
water. In this case the we'll should b.
abandoned at once. Courtesy of G. c

ed that these Twentieth Century Of

one case where the polonaise is of
deep pink panne velvet worn over a
white charmeuse slip it is extended in
the back to form pointed train. A
girdle of silver gauze crosses outside
the velvet in the back, but is drawn
through openings several inches from
the front edges of the polonaise and
then continued in soft folds across

Proper Marking of Sheep.

The means prevailing at the present
time for the marking Of sheep for the
purpose Of identification Is unsatisfac-
tory for the reason that the coal tar
or pitch solution which is made use
of has serious effect on the wool,
not only where the mark has been
made on the hair, but all that which
Is being put through the cleansing
process at that time. Such wool brings
a decreased price. The National So
ciety OF Agriculture Of France has
been investigating the matter and the
report of those appointed to do the
work contains the following: It has
been proposed to use analine colors,
but this is even worse, since the coli
ors do not merely soil the fleece, but
actually dye it. Other means are not
lacking, notably that OF tattooing the
ear Of the sheep. Also, a small metal
lie plate can be fastened in the ear,
as is done with African sheep to prove
that they have been sscIavelized," /. e..

which combats their dangerous and
contagious eruptive malady, rot or
scab. The Syndfcal Chamber Of Com
merce and Industry advises the en-
ployment of a color composed of lin
seed oil, essence of turpentine and
Prussian- blue or similar color Il
recommends marking on nose, fore
head or nape OF neck.
