working through the manhole. After
wards the concrete manhole lid is set
in place. Moreover this lid is heavy
enough that it cannot be removed by
a child.
In preparing the well for concrete
platform, see that or 5 feet of the
curbing near the top of the we'll is of
solid concrete (proportioned 1:2:4),
or of blocks or bricks laid up with
cement mortar mixed in the proper
ton of l part cement to 1-2 parts
sand. Carry the curbing or inches
above natural ground level and grade
the turf to this height so that surface
water will flow away from the well.
Prepare to mold the cover on a wood
en- platform of two-inch boards laid
over the well or placed on a level spot
of ground. For most wells, a plat
form 5 feet square by inches thick
is sufficiently strong. To provide for
a manhole opening, build bottomless
box, of l by 6-inch boards, 5 inches
deep, 2 feet square at the top and 10

for feed and water, and the instinct to
herd closely. II is these qualities
that have caused fine-wool sheep to
be used so largely on the range. In
addition to the points named, the fine
woods as class have strong resist
ance TO internal parasites and are
long lived. They are slow in matur-
ing, the ewes produce few twins, and
do not rank high as mothers and
mixers. The ewes are much more
likely TO breed in spring and summer
than are the ewes of the mutton
breeds, and this has caused them to
be used by winter lamb raisers for
mating with mutton rams. A few of
the rams are hornless, but most of
them have strong curving horns. The
ewes are always polled. Sheep of this
class have been found to thrive under
a wide variety of conditions, some
times on rather low, moist land.
The Leicester.
The Leicester is very easily distin-
guished from the other long woods
by its lean and strong face. The nose
is decidedly Roman and the head is
bare of wool from the ears forward.
The Leicester has very wide and
we'll covered back, but the depth of
body is less than in the other long
woods. This feature, with a strong
tendency to lightness of belly wool,
gives the breed a leggy appearance.
The wool is finer and softer than that
of the Cotswold or Lincoln, though
not always so thick upon the body.
The fleece hangs in locks smaller than
those of the Lincoln and without the
Cotswold appearance of ringlets.
The breeders association for this
breed is American Leicester Breeders
