GOOD NEW YEAR ADVICE.

The old familiar wish rings true.
A Happy New Year. friends. to you"
\ man who keeps up the custom of
sending New Year cards to his friends
included this year Il second card bear
ing these words:
INSTEAD Of returning evil for evil,
try to return evil with good; To say
nothing i'll of others; to act kindly
I'VE with dumb animals.
Live thus one day. two days, or
more, and compare the state of your
mind with its state in former days.
Make the attempt and you will see
how the dark. evil moods have passed
away and how the souls happiness has
increased.
Make the attempt, and you vii, see
that the gospel Of love brings the
greatest and most desirable of all
things"
On these cards is written, This is
Tolstoy's advice. 1t is good to pin on
a calendar where it will be seen every
day."

REMEMBERED

By u JEAN LIBBEY

9TH heart is hard In nature and unfit
For human fellowship, as being void
or sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both. that is not
pleased
With sight of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
At the beginning of the New Year
one should brush the dust off his list
Of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly u of ones everyday
life without a very good reason for
it, Making new acquaintances is usu-
ally an easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintances until they bios
som into friends. cemented by loyalty
and consistency, is "A different problem.
A man or woman may IN ac-
quaintances by the scOre-peOple who
invite them to their homes to dine, to
theater party, or merryInaking-yet
they are still acquaintance only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand it.
Many a one has counted up "A hundred
sO-called friends today. But If adver-
sity assails one tomorrow there may
rot be n heart among the many one
could turn to for sOlace and cheer.
Not n pair of hands would be ex-
tended to draw n i'm from the cold,
the storm and darkness, if one is sud
denly bereft of shelter. Past benefits
are not remembered. Acquaintances
find it easy to forget. Only friends re-
member the past and its hallowed
memories.
A woman will remember every detail
of her courtship-where she first met
her lover, their introduction, the i'm
preston she formed of him at first
sight. She even remembers what her
reveries were and her wonderment as
t. whether or not he thought of her.
She remembers each call he made: all
that was said or done; how she had
detected his growing love for her even
before he guessed it himself. She re-
members the hour Of their bethrothal
and the conversation that brought it
quite Unexpectedly abOIt.
AS for the man she married, not one
Hirn in Il hundred can remember what

of peaty or swampy origin, impregna-
ton with iron. In short, Investigations
indicate that only a small minority of
farm water supplies a be classed as
unqualitiedly safe and desirable.
Diseases From Poor Water.
Among the ailments caused or in
tiuenced by contaminated water are
typhoid fever, tuberculosis, hoOkwOrm
disease, cholera, dysentery and diar-
rhea, and certain obscure maladies
that may be traced eventually to the
poisonous effects of drainage from hui
a wastes. Figure 2 shows in q
striking manner how increased use of
pure water in Massachusetts has been
followed by decline in the typhoid
fever death rate. Frequently a home
or village supplied with water from IL
mountain spring or canyon is IL center
Of goiter, although the possible rela.
tionship of such water to this disease
has not been proved cOnclusively.
Among ailments of live stock, hog
cholera, anthrax. and fOOt-and-mOuth
disease are spread by moving water.
Hence sick animals should not have
access to streams, and dead animals
should not be left exposed in fields or
buried where drainage may carry in
lection to streams and water supplies.
Ones duty to himself and %neighbOrs
should Obligate him to cOnfine all sick
animals and burn the carcasses of
dead ones or bury them deeply in
spots remote from streams, wells and
springs, and urge his neighbOr to do

The vital things to remember are
that ground water Is not stagnant but
move usually, though not always,
with the clay" or slope of the land I;
that its character determines largely
the character of wells and springs ;
that 1t Is not an i~nexhaustible reser-
voir, but that a given well yields only
as it receives; and that continued
pumping will not improve the water In
a well If the sources from which 1t Is
fed are permanently at fault. In
short. ground water is natural drain
age variOusly modified in its move
ment and character by subterranean
conditions.
Safe Location Of Wells.
Wells cannot be located in all cases
SO that there may not be some pOllu-
ton, but the great safeguards are
clean ground and as wide separation
as possible from the probable chan
nels Of any impure drainage. 1t Is not
enough that a well or spring Is 80.
100, or $50 feet from a source of filth
or that it Is merely upon higher
ground. although vel moderate re-
mOteness and elevation of the source
of supply are Of service. Given porous
or gravelly ground, seamy ledge, or
lOng-continued pollution Of n plot of
land, the zone of contamination is like
ly to extend long distances, particu-
larry in downhill directions and at
such times as water supplies are low
cred by drought or heavy pumping.
Only when the surface of the water in
a well or spring is actually at a high
er leved at all times than any nearby
source of filth is there positive assur-
ance of safety.
Upon any farm a wood lot, grove.
or windbreak is highly desirable, not
only to supply fuel and small timber.
but for its beauty and the protection
1t affords.

TraiIers Often Used.
The mOtOrtrucks generally in use
by farmers are not large trucks, but
small ones whose nominal capacity Is
usually one to two tons. In quite a
number of counties throughout the
country the trucks used for hauling
are made-Over passenger cars. In
some cases light wagons are attached
as t~railers to ordinary passenger cars
and produce Is taken to market In
that way. In North Dakota and Cali
~fornia, as well as other states, tractors,
each drawing several wagons, are used
for hauling grain. Trailers are also
used, especially in the West, with
hOrse-drawn wagons.
For the United States as Il whole
the average wagon load of wheat was
So bushels in 1906 and So bushels in
1918, and the mOtOrtruck load in the
latter year was 81 bushels. For corn,
the wagon loads of 1906 and 1918 Kere
30 bushels, and the motortruck load of
1918 was 80 bushels. The cotton load
for 1906 and 1913 for wagons was 3.4
and SO bales, respectively, and for
mOtOrtruckS G.G bales in 1913.
