KEEP DUO WELLS

Dust and Other Foreign Matter
Likely to Gain Entrance
From the Top.
WATER MADE UNWHOLESOME
Thorough Examination Should BE
Made of Curb for Defects-Deter-
mine II carbonic Acid Gas Has
Accumulated at Bottom.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If properly located, built and pro
tected, dug wells are more likely to be
permanently satisfactory than any
other kind, but to insure the safety of
the water supply they require clean
ing occasionally. Even in protected
wells dust and other foreign matter,
which may pollute the water, are like
ly to gain entrance at the top, and
the washing in of clay and silt with
the ground water may make the sup
ply unwholesome.
First Step In Cleaning.
The first step in cleaning a well
should be inspection of the curb
which, if weak or defective, may
make entrance dangerous. This ex
animation may be made more thor.
oughly, and even the bottom of the
well may be observed by the aid OF
beam, Of sunlight reflected into the
well by looking-glass. Next lower a
lighted candle to determine If car
bonic acid gas has accumulated in the
bottom Of the well. Complete or par
tial failure Of the candle to burn in
dicates that it is dangerous to enter
the well. If found safe to enter 9
ladder should be lowered and tht
curb from top down scrubbed witt
wire or other stiff brushes ant
rinsed thoroughly. The well ther
should be pumped as low as possible
and any mud, moss or other debris
should be scraped up into pals ant
removed.
Pump Out After Cleaning.
After thorough cleaning the wei
should be allowed to fill and then be
pumped out rapidly. This operation
may be repeated to advantage two OF
three times, and often the whole work
results in a freer, larger-yielding well
Many wells can be drained by hand
pumping, but In other cases a power
pump is necessary.
Unless there are special reasons fol
so doing there is little use in attempt

SURELY POSSESSED OF NERVE
Hoy Apparently Embarrassed Man
Thanked kind-Hearted Girl Who
Paid His Fare.

Miss Doris Faithful is q front-Pow
girl and the other day she lived right
up to her name. She boarded a pie
beian street car en- route to her home,
writes the New York York correspond

she entered the car she became one
Of the platform audience to an alter

tor and well-dressed, middle-aged
man, who gave every evidence of
wealth. The middle-aged one had ten
dered the conductor $40 bill for his
fare, and the latter declared that he
could not make change. Also the con
ductor' after some debate, asserted
that unless the man could produce a
nickel he would be forced to leave
the car. This Is where Miss Faithful
eased her way into the spotlight. Not
ing the mans discontinue she politely
offered him the loan of his fare. He
accepted with protestations Of graft
tude. and insisted upon having her
name and address. When she re-
lated her story to her sisters In art
they all agreed she had made a tinan-
cial coup, and that she would surely
be rewarded by handsome gift, and
perhaps also be mentioned in the
middle-aged ones will. Expectation
ran high, therefore, when at the the

MILLION IN ORGANIZATIONS
Through These Associations Farmers
Now in Close Touch With Force
of Trained Men.

(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment Of Agriculture)
At present more than 100000
farmers are members of organizations
assisting the county agent in his
work. Through these organizations
the American farmer and his family
are now In close personal touch with
large corps of well-trained men and
women so linked with federal and
state institutions for the promotion of
agriculture that farming people can
readily avail themselves of the results
of scientific research and practical ex-
perience the world over to aid them in
their work on the farm and their life

The Turk in spite Of his constant
bathing (bathing being enjoined by
the Mohammedan religion) has no sta
tionary tubs nor wash bowls-indeed,
Turkish houses are quite innocent Of
plumbing, says Edith Gilfallin, in m
article on the oolorful ancient capital
Of the Ottoman empire. But as the
Turk Fever battles save in running
water the brick floors contain drains
that carry the water to the garden out
side. Always before eating, a servant
pours, from pitcher, water over an
oriental's hands; which seems wise
provision, for they do not use knives
nor forks; spoons only are used to eat
soup or sherbets.
They do not sit around table as
we do, but sit on cushions round foot
high table trays. All over the near
east they have but two meals. Break
fast is q sort of movable feast up to
eleven O'Clock. 1t consists of coffee,
fruit and various hot breads. The
Turk is enabled to sustain life until
his dinner at sunset by drinking
innumerable cupfuls Of thick, hot.
heavily-sweetened coffee.
Dinner. which is consumed in the
evening, ia the only meal the Turk
takes In the bosom of his family. It
often Is an elaborate affair of twelve
courses: Tomatoes and squash and
eggplant and other vegetables stuffed
with rice or minced meat or cheese,
fish swimming In oil, mutton stews,
goat fricassees, roasted chickens, rich
pastries and candles, preserves of
plum and ounce and fig and peach.
and always coffee and the narghile-
waterpipe.
At some Of these dinners they drink
sort of brandy called raki; but alco-
holic drinks are anathema to the ortho-
dox Turk.

Starch in potatoes is not destroyed
by the common decay-producing fun
81 or by freezing. 1t has been found
in recent studies conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture in laboratory tests that it is pos
sible to recover most of the starch
from frozen and rotten potatoes,
which leads specialists of the depart
ment to suggest that an attempt
should be made to salvage the great
quantities of spoiled stock now re-
jected and dumped on the terminal
markets.
