Making an Artesian Well Pump Itself.

The field men of the United States
Geological Survey, in their Investigations
of the ground-water resources of the Vir.
ginia coastal plain, have observed that
the flows from many artesian wells in
that region are utilized to drive hydrau-
lie rams for the purpose Of lifting the
water to higher levels. Along the lower
courses of the Potomac and Rappahan-
mock and along the shores of the many
inlets that run back from Chesapeake
bay above the James there are hundreds
of artesian wells that supply perennial
flow of beautiful clear water which is, as
a rule, excellently adapted to all domss-
tic uses and is largely utilized by the
canning factories and other industrial
that abound in that part
of the country. Though the pressure OF
the water from the wells is ample at the
shore level, the head diminishes so quick
ly with increase in elevation that no flow
can be obtained along the higher banks
above the shores where the water is most
needed. One method of obtaining it at
these higher levels is to use the force de
veloped b ythe artesian flow to operate
hydraulic rams, which in turn raise the
water TO the heights desired along the

Michigan Copper a Record Breaker.

The complete reports from Michigan
copper mines received by the United
States Geological Survey show the pro-
duction to be the largest in the history
of the industry. The total refined cop
per produced amounted to 23S,956,4l0
pounds according to B. S. Butler, as com
pared with l5s,009,74s pounds in 1914
and with 23l,ll2,22S pounds in 1912, the
record production previous to 1915.
At an average price of l7.5 cents per
pound the copper output of Michigan had
a value of about Sal 100000 for 1915.
The copper mines produced 5s5,933
ounces OF silver in 1915, valued at 1927
O6s
There were mined and milled in the
Lake Superior district 1884 500 tons OF
ore producing concentrates containing

NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT
Barn Dance at Pythian Hall Arranged
By Carlyle Sargent.

One of the most novel entertain
ments of the year took place in the
form of a barn dance held at Pyth-
ian hall Friday night. The arrange
ments and decorating which were
made by Carlyle Sargent, carried
out the idea to its fullest effective
ness. All the hired men" and the
''milkmaids' were there from miles
around and even the barn cat was
present and failed to be frightened
from her usual haunts. The old
husking table was in much demand
as a desirable seat holding just the
right number of SWANS and lassies,
and the saw horse holding it's key of
new cider and the barrel of apples
tipped over in the corner were pres
ent as in the days of the real barn
"shake-d downs" following a husking.
Boxes and barrels covered with hay
made a near approach to the usual
medley about in the corners of the
barn floor. The corn shocks piled in
the corners, with other evidences of
the harvest time, and the bedimmed
lights with cobWebs of colored paper
made the scene one of pastoral at
Effectiveness.
About So couples were present, and
the appreciation of the informal af-
fair was evidenced in the manner IN
which all joined in for good time,
Music was furnished by Sargent's
orchestra

VERMONT HAS BIGGEST CROP
Relatively Largest Apple Yield OF
New England or New York.

The yield of apples in Vermont for
1915 will amount to a greater per-
centage of a full crop than that of
any other New England state of New
York. The crop will also probably
represent a bigger increase over last
years crop than any of the other
states. The estimates now put forth
are on the authority of V. A San
ders, field agent of the United States
bureau of crop estimates, and are the
latest obtainable. The figures have
come into possession of the agricul-
tural extension department at the
State University through A. w.
Sweeton, county agricultural agent
of Windham county, who sent them
in along with his own report on
county conditions to Jay Coryell, as
sistant county agent leader.
A full crop, says Mr.. Coryen, means
more than an average crop. 1t
doesn't mean a bumper crop exactly,
that is a crop greater than ever be-
fore or in any one of many years.
Old-time apple growers can judge
quite precisely what it does mean by
looking at the percentage, which is
80 this year as against around Is last.
The yield has been variously esti-
mated at from 10 to Is per cent
more than normal.
Here are the figures of the other
neighboring states during the two
years:

team met at $40 Monday, after
which the football men convened in

ing game served as a preliminary dis
cussion to the skull practice. The
team held a sharp practice at 4
o'clock on the green. The next game
is to be with Montpelier Seminary at
Montpelier, Saturday, and the reac-
ton caused by the last game is sure
to be very much in evidence.

A football game has been scheduled
with Montpelier Seminary at Mont
peler for Saturday, October z.
The football practice Wednesday
night was featured by scrim-
mage between the regulars and
the second team. The second
team was so good on defense
that the gains of the regulars did not
average over five yards. Jameson
made a fine run for the regulars af-
ter intercepting a pass. Macdonald
made several good tackles for the
scrubs. Several freshmen demon
strated the fact that they are not to
be left out of the reckoning in pick
ing the big material The lineup
was as follows: Regulars, Gibson, c;

st. JOhnsbury Academy opened its
1916 football season with Spaulding
High at Barre, Saturday. The game
ended with the score 33 to 0 in favor
of Spaulding, due to the general SUI
periority of its team over that of St.
j. A. This superiority may be partly
explained by the fact that Spaulding' s
team is practically all veterans and
has played one game before this sea-
son. This opening game was con-
ceded to be the hardest of the sea So n
and the defeat can hardly be consid-
cred a crushing one. The local team
is expecting to be bolstered by the
addition of two or three new candi-
dates this week. and with the shifts
which are sure to follow a much diff
ferent result is expected in the next
clash of the two teams, which will be
on st. JohnSbury'S grounds.
