How to Organize.
Finding Good Ground Water.

Good ground water is the ideal sup.
ply for farms, according to Farmers
Bulletin 94l, Water Systems for
Farm Homes" recently issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
Any farmer about to put down
deep or expensive well, and who is
uncertain of the depth and the guam.
tity or quality of the water likely TO
be encountered, should describe fully
the location and conditions of his
project to national or state geological
authorities and ask for advice. Times
without number, wells have been sunk
to great depths in the belief that
eventually Il plentiful supply would
be reached, only to find that water
was not there, or that it was unfit for
use, or that II mere hole or sump had
been created which served but to
drain water from relatively near the
surface. There is no short cut and
no better guide in this matter than
information as to the kind. thickness,
porosity, and dip of the strata of the
region and of the results obtained in
neighboring wells, study of the land
slopes and character of the vegeta-
ton, and examination for evidences
of seeps and springs.
Regarding the use of u forked will
low, hazel. or peach stick for locating
underground water, it can be said
safely the method Is without merit,
although sO-called forked-stick artists
from their experience and observation
Of surface conditions usually are bet
ter able to judge of the probabilities
of ground water than is the average
person not thus trained. So also,
there is little to recommend certain
patented automatic water finders
which are based upon the possible,
but largely conjcctural. proposition
that electrical exchanges between the
earth and atmosphere are stronger In
the vicinity of subterranean waters.

HOW TO TRANSFER BEES

The keeping of bees in box !
hives or log "gums" is unproiit-
able. The care that bees need !
in order to gather fair crop OF
honey can be given only If the
beekeeper is able to examine the
the bees and to move the combs
as needed.
Probably one-third of all the
bees in the United States are In
hives without movable combs
and to assist the owners of sucn
colonies to get them in proper
hives the United States depart
ment of agriculture has pre-
pared Farmers Bulletin 96l,
Transferring Bees to Modern
Hives" Various methods are
given. some one of which Will
be possible to any beekeeper, SO
that there Is no reason for de-
lay In making the bees produc-
tive.
Unless the bees are properly
managed after transfer there Is
little advantage in movable
frame hives. This requires
study of beekeeping rs well Us
prOmptness and care. Dlrec'
tiOns for handling bees are given
in other publications Of the de'
partment.
