At least it appeared so last Saturday when an airplane en route from Kincardine tc Toronto passed our town. Many cur ious people craned their necks to look at the wonderful machine as it smoothly made its way through the air. We heard some of our residents excdlaim “I’d rather have a Ford.” Hydro for Ripley. This is the next great question which the citizens of our town will be called, upon to settle At a meeting in Wingham last week which was attended by some of oui citizens, it was decided to submit the question to the ratepayers at the Jan uary municipal elections. The Acety­ lene light which was a great improve­ ment on the old oil lamps and which has served the public for a number of years, will soon be replaced by the brilliant Hydro-Electric which has been such a boon to many. We believe the time is not far distant when ever} up-to-date farmer will use the power to save labor and give comfort on his farm. Our industries! will be driven by it, and our streets and residences will be brightly illuminated by it Vote for Hydro and enjoy the modern convenience.

THE well is the usual source of the farm water supply, and a good well, that is, one which supplies plenty of pure fresh and wholesome water the year round is certainly one of the most essential and valuable assets of the farm. Without it no man could live there for long, to say nothing about bringing up a healthy family, or building up an efficient dairy herd. The well must be there first and last and all the time, and we cannot con­ ceive of an intelligent man buying a farm without a good well if he in­ tended to live on it and make it pay dividends. Fortunately, most of Ontario’s farms are well supplied with water, in fact it is a rare thing to find a farm where it could not be secured in sufficient quantities by drilling to reasonable depths. The supply, there­ fore, will probably never cause us any serious worry, but judging by a recent report on analysis of many well waters from this Province one seems justified in concluding that there is still need for education of the rural public in regard to the protection and care of the farm well. The following suggestions will be found helpful to any farmer desir­ ous of making his water supply safe rgainst possible underground and surface contamination. The first step in the solution of this problem of purer water supply Is the location of the well. This should be by all means on ground ligher than any source of contamin­ ation such ns barnyard, cesspool, or jutside privy.

On Friday last a number of our re­ sidents went to Kincardine Fall Fair The weathei’ man is usually very sor­ ry for the people of that town, and he wept large tears on the disappointed crowd, many of whom needed a change of apparel when they rarived home. in last Los tripa in St. Friday Pte. John McKay, son of Mr. and Mrs. Malcom McKay, 8th Con. east, arrived home from o.erseas on Wed­ nesday last. Mrs. Laura MacCrostie and son, Jackson, spent Thursday afternoon the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Will MacCros­ tie, St. Helens. The Thursday half holiday ends to­ day (Thursday). During the past summer many of the merchants and employees have enjoyed a few hours’ recreation, others were busy helping production, which has been beneficial to all. Now they will be obliged to settle down to the six day week and as the motoring season will soon be at end, they can rise early on Sunday morning and go to church instead of going visiting elsewhere and perhaps keeping others from attending church service- Cupid is busily engaged in our midst these times. He is hitching up the old as well as the young. On Wed­ nesday of last week two of our ven­ erable residents, who have passed the three score mark, hied themselves to Lucknow with the alarcity of a couple of youths, presented themselves at the altar of Hymen and pledged allegiance to each other for the remainder U® their days- We refer to Mr. Chas. McKinnon, a gentleman of leisure of our town, and Mrs. Currie-McDonald. It was an anxious crowd that awa ( ed them at the evening train in order to serenade the happy couple, but the presence of mind of the nuptial parties foiled all such attempts and they were allowed to proceed to their home unmolested. But the silence was not long lived, for soon a large crowd gat­ hered and an old time charvari took place. The groom sought the pro­ tection of Constable Martin, who dis­ persed the crowd, without any remun­ eration for all their trouble. The next evening the crowd was organized a- gain, but before any celebration took place, and armistice was signed and peace was declared. The happy couple take up residence in the groom’s brick cottage and the best wishes of their many friends for a happy and pros­ perous voyage thro'ugh life, and that they may be long spared as residents of our town to enjoy life together. ' Couldn’t Be Discouraged. There are croakers in every country always boding its ruin. Such a out then lived in Philadelphia; a person oi note, an elderly man, with a wise look and a very grave manner of speaking; his name was Samuel Mickle. The gentleman, a stranger to me, stopped one day at my door and asked me if I was the young man who had lately opened a new printing house. Be­ ing answ’ered In the affirmative, he said he was sorry for me, because it was an expensive undertaking, and the ex­ pense would be lost; for Philadelphia was a sinking place, the people already half bankrupt, or near being so; all ap­ pearances to the contrary, such as new buildings and the rise of rents, being to his certain they were, that would me such a existing, or that were soon to exist, that he left me half melancholy. Had I known him before I engaged in this business, probably I never should tinned and to fusing there, struction; and at last I had the pleas­ ure of seeing him give five times as much for one as he might have bought it for when he first began his croaking. —Autobiography of Benjamin Frank­ lin. - knowledge fallacious; for in fact, among the things soon ruin us.

A major, attired in his raincoat, was crossing the parade ground one rainy morning when a young medical officer, hastening toward shelter, came past and saluted without slowing down. “Wait there a minute, lieutenant,” called the major. “Never salute when at the double time. Strictly against regulations.” With that the major launched ov.t upon a long lecture on the significance and value of the salute, while the lieu­ tenant, now standing stiffly at atten­ tion, was drenched to the skin. A few days later tht> major was af­ flicted with toothache and sought the services of a dental surgeon. As he reclined in the chair, he thought he detected a peculiar expression of sat­ isfaction on the young dentist's face. “Look here,” he said suddenly. “Haven’t I seen you before?” “Yes, sir,” was the answer speaking to me about saluting—” “Great Scott!” leaping from the for the door, “I’ve had some close calls In ray time, but never anything to com­ pare' with this one.”—Judge, choice in location, and this cannot be done, then the well should be kept a considerable distance from such contaminations, at least 100 feet in clay, and 200 feet or more di sandy soils, and the cribbing and top of the well specially protected as detailed later against the entrance of any seepage and surface washings. In the second place the cribbing for at least 10 feet below the surface should be made impervious to water so that any contamination in solu­ tion reaching the well would have to pass down through this extra depth of soil before getting into the well, when in all probabality it would be taken up by the soil and never reach the well water. This may be done in case of an old well by put­ ting a wall of puddled clay 1 foot thick and 10 feet deep around the well cribbing, and in case of a new­ ly-dug well, or recribbing an old one, by using large concrete tile for the cribbing and setting the joints thor­ oughly in rich cement. Before the tile are placed in the well the out­ sides should be washed with pure cement plaster in order to fill up all pores and make the tile absolutely impervious to soil waters. Thirdly, the cribbing should be extended at least one foot above the ground level and the soil banked up to the top of it to provide good surface drainage away from the well. Fourthly, the well should be provided with a strong and tight-fitting cover made of heavy plank cr concrete so that it will al­ ways be safe for man and beast and proof against the entrance of dirt, small animals like frogs, etc. Even better still the pump may be placed over a shallow dry well to one side and the top of the real well made absolutely tight by a concrete cover. In this case the well should be ven­ tilated by putting a small iron pipe, with the exposed end turning down­ wards, through the top or cover. And, fifthly, the stock should not be al­ lowed to tramp about close to the well. f What has been said refers chiefly to dug wells, but even the drilled or driven wells should be well drained and protected at the top, for other­ wise contamination may work down along the well casing and reach the water, especially if the casing is not tightly driven into the rock below. Attention to such matters <of con­ struction and protection of the farm well as I have detailed and an occa­ sional pumping out and cleansing of the well with a little lime will assure a pure and wholesome water supply. —R.

Early .After-Harvest Cultivation. "A stitch in time saves nine.” In case of weeds prompt and thorough after-harvest cultivation prevents many thousands of weeds from de­ veloping seeds, and thus saves hours of tedious labor the succeeding sea­ son. Early after-harvest cultivation is one of the best ways to destroy annual and winter annual weeds, such as False Flax, Corn Cockle, Wild Buckwheat, Pigweed, Ball Mus­ tard, Wormseed Mustard and Annual Sow Thistle. Plough shallow not more than three or four inches deep immediately after harvest, and har­ row and cultivate frequently. By the shallow ploughing the weed seeds are kept near the surface and by the frequent stirring of the soil they are made to sprout, and having sprouted they are easily destroyed by further cultivation.—Dr, C.
