STOCK AND
SOIL FERTILITY
Depleted Soils Built by Chang
ing from Grain Raising to
Dairying.

Dalrylng.
The problem of the American
farmer today is how to conserve
the fertility of the soil and yet
insure a reasonable income. In
considering changing from grain
farming to the raising of live
stock, the Missouri farmer asks
himself if this change has been
successful in maintaining soil
fertility. From the New Eng
land states westward to the
Dakotas, he sees a trail of once
depleted soils reclaimed by sub
stituting dairying and stock
farming for exclusive grain
farming. The result of profit
able systems of live stock farm
ing on even the poorest of soils
is to be seen in Holland. Den
mark is another example Of a
country whose soils were becom-
ing depleted by wheat producing
but where a system of live stock
production conserved the soil
fertility.
Permanent success from ex-
elusive grain farming has not
yet been demonstrated, so mod
ern farm practice is showing the
importance of the development
of animal husbandry. The close
relation between the fertility of
the soil and keeping of live stock
is demonstrated at experiment
stations and by the successful
farmer. Productiveness Of the
acre of land is the main factor
for which the farmer is every
where striving. Because the
productiveness of the land is
maintained and often increased
is sufficient reason for the keep
ing of animals on the farm, not
even taking into consideration
the increased profit from the
live stock farm.
Farm manure is now, and al
ways has been the greatest
available resource for maintain
ing soil fertility on the typical
middle-west farms. Generally
speaking the most prosperous
farms of this section today are
those on which live stock is a
if not a chief factor Of
production.
While the practice of blowing
under clover and that of adding
straw and slower directly to the
soil will unquestionably keep up
the huns or vegetable matter
supply, such materials are too
valuable for the nutrition of
to be thus employed.

Experiment Station for two
years, the average income of

$40. 900 FIRE IN NEWPORT.

The large dwelling house, two barns
and two large green houses, the latter
filled with choice flowers, and early
vegetable plants, on the Farrant place
at Farrant Point, about a mile from
Newport, were destroyed about s
O'Clock Monday evening by fire, the
origin of which has not been determined.
The loss will be between $4,000 and $l0,-
600. There is partial insurance. The
property is owned by John and Susan
Farrant, brother and sister. The house
was occupied by Miss Farrant, her
brother living in a new house few rods
distant. The flames were discovered in
the ell of the. house and as there is no
water protection the building was a
mass of flames when the hose company
from Newport arrived. A small part
of the furnishings was saved.

March 3, very suddenly from a compli-
cation of diseases. She was SO years of
age, and had for sometime been a sue
cessfu teacher in the rural schools,
being loved by both parents and pupils.
Of her relations with her friends, it is
hard to speak, of her family life, no one
can tell of that except the members of
it, but we know their welfare came
first. When she married on June 18th

not forgotten in the new home ties.
Her short married life was most ideal,
and the words of him who mourns her
deepest, "she was so good and true. "
Besides her husband she leaves her
father and mother, one sister and three
brothers. The funeral was from her
fathers home March 7. The bearers
were Andrew and Clayton Hallock, her
brothers, and Charles and Earl Alger,
her brother s-in-law. The burial was
in Greenlawn cemetery, Bristol, Vt.
Rev. Mr.. McCarty officiated. The pro-
fusion of beautiful flowers attested to
the esteem which was felt for her.
Among those from out of town were
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Hallock and chill

THE WATER QUESTION.
. N. SPAULDING, Auctioneer

The town of Plymouth, N. H., has
just completed its first artesian well for
town supply, and the townspeople are
very much pleased with il.
The well was drilled on Reservoir
Hill, "A inches, inches higher than the
town reservoir, and about $50 feet
higher than the town proper.
The we'll was started 10 inches dame
ter and finished s inches diameter, 42S
feet deep. The water stands up in the
well to within IL feet of the top. At the
pump test 100 feet of 81 inch cylinder
pipe was put down with brass ball
bearing cylinder at bottom, and after
pumping most all day at the rate of two
barrels minute go gallons minute
and sometimes more), the water in the
well could only be lowered down 70 feet.
Many of the the leading townspeople
visited the well to see the pump test and
they all seemed to be well pleased.
The following day another pump test
was given from AZ feet down, or 30 feet
from top of water with the object of
finding out how much water the well
would syphon down into the town res
ervoir without any pump. 1t was
found that the well would syphon con-
tinuously 80 gallons minute.
The ground slopes down about 80 de-
grees from the well to the reservoir.
The town officials intend cutting into
the hill about half way between the
reservoir and the well, and then trench
horizontally to the well, entering pipe
into the well about 6 or feet below the
natural top of the water in the well,
then dropping about IS feet of syphon
pipe down into the water. In this way
the water should run continusly down
into the reservoir. Two or three such
artesian wells would amply supply the
town of Plymouth including all fire pro-
lection.
The water was tested and found to be
soft and of excellent quality.
Water Commissioner DR.. George H.
Bowles has figured that this we'll will
pay for itself in one year, figuring
against what the town is now paying
outside parties for pumping extra
watel. This we'll will syphon or run 30
gallons a minute, which is equal to the
pumping VI w SdlloIlo d iilillulS lOI d
day of IL hours.
In adopting artesian well water sup
ply, Plymouth is in line with the large
growing majority of towns and cities of
the United States, which use artesian
wells for municipal supply, having found
it to be the purest water and affording
never failing supply. 1t is less expen-
sive, as land does not have to be bought
in large quantities to protect water
shed. Growing population and it's
problems of sanitation do not effect the
deep streams Of underground water. A
great many towns and cities of New
England use batteries of drilled or
driven wells hitched onto one suction
main and fed by gravity or by pumping
into one or more reservoirs which thus
give ample fire protection as well as I'M
questionable, palatable, and slightly
drinking water supply. These reservoirs
do not have to be cleaned for contami-
nations and growths as does the water
from ponds and brooks, contaminated as
they are by cattle and the inhabitants of
their water sheds.
The well At Plymouth was installed
by the Bay State Artesian Well Co.,
