and Wholesome.

(C.atrlbuted by centers. Department of
♦grteultat., T.reato,)
THE well is the usual source
o1 the farm water supply,
aad a good well, that is, one
which suppIies plenty of
pure fresh and wholesome water the
year round is certainly one of the
most essential aid valuable assets of
the farm. Without it no man could
live there for long, to say nothI ,g
about bringing up a healthy family,
or building up an elleleat dairy herd..
The wall must be there first and last
and an the time, and we cannot cox-
ce{Te of aa inteiligemt MILt1 !abley a
fartti without a good well if he in-
tended to live en it and make it pay
dt'ldends.
Fecticmately, most of Oataris's
tarty are well euppli•d with water,
in fact it is a rare tieing to led a.
farm where it would let be steered
in sufficient quantities by driliing to
reasonable depths. The oupply, Mere -
fore, will probably newer wise Its
ally serietce 'worry, but judging by a
remit report em analysis et Wavy
well !raters from this Pro'riace one
seems justified in concluding that
there is still needfor education of
tha rural publie in regard to the
proteetion and care of the farm well.
The followlag euggeetisaa will b•
found helpful to any farmer desir-
oies a making his water supply We
against possible underground sad
surface contamination.
The fiat step in the solation of
this problem of purer water supply
is the location of the well. This
should be by all means on ground
higher than any sourco of coatanlin-
ation such as barnyard, cesspool, or
outside privy. If there should be no
choice is location, and this cannot
lie done, then the well should be
kept a considerable distance from
euelt eosltaaais,atierke, at lust 109
feet in clay, sad 269 Leet of raor'$
in sandy Mile, and the cribbing and
top of the well specially protected
as detailed later against the entraace
of any seepage and surface'washings.
In the second place the cribbing for
at least 10 feet below tke surface
should be Heade Impervious to water
so that any contamination in solii-
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
re taken up by the eon and never
reach the well water. Tkls may be
deme in case of an old well by put-
tlnX a wall of puddled clay 1 foot
thick and 10 feet deep around the
well cribbing, and its case of a aew-
ly-dug well, or recribbiag an old oae,
by using large concrete tile for the
cribbing and. Betting the joints thor-
oughly in risk cement. Before the
tile are pla.ed in the well the out-
sides should be washed with pure
,:easent plaster in order to fill up all
pores and ,nake 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
aver 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.
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 coatamination may work down
along the well casing and reach the
water, especially if the casing is not
tightly driven Tato -the rock below.
Attention to such !natters 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,

loge, Guelph.
Early After-Harveet Cultivation.
"A stitch in time saves nine." Iii
case of weeds prompt and thorough
after -harvest cultivation prevents
many thousands of weeds from de-
veloping seeds, and thus saves hairs
of tedious labor the sueceeding sea-
son. Early after -harvest cu,ltrntion.
is one of the beet ways to destraay
annual and winter annual weeds,
such: as False "Flax, Corn Ceekle,'
Wild Buckwheat, Pigweed, Bali Mas••
tard, Wormseed Mustard and Annual
Sow Thistle, Plough shallow- not
in.ore than three or four inches deep
immediately alter harvest, and har-
row and elultiyate•'frequently. By the
shallow ploughing the weed seeds
are kept near the surface axid by the
frequent stirring of the soil they are
made to sprout, and .balling sprouted
they are easily .destroyed bye further
cultivation.—Dr. C. A. Zavltz, 0. A..

DRAINAGE OF HILLSIDES
Wet Surfaces Greatly Improved
by Tile Drains.

Records Can the Dairyman Weed

HBI erosion of hillsides and
the needing of the land be-
low by the eroded material
has loss been a worry and
an economical loss to many farmers
in hilly and mountainous sections.
Tkis can frequeatiy be prevented,
and the method employed depends on
the cenditimis eslstimg. Rusk as the
nature of the soil; light or heavy,
the steepness of the *tope, and the
type of agriculture praettaed; pasture
or tilled crepe.
Wet hillsides used as sheep pas-
times may rsueh improved by what
are sometimes Balled "sheep -drains."
'T'tis.e ars sasa•slr aiwilsw epee
dltsiisr *Mut in ixihse wide ax top,
nine imahes wide on the bottom,, and
1i incites deep for removing the sur -
foes water.. and .awry it la a del -
Rite slriasax.l to s sxltaable *Clot at
the bre o1 the hill. The removed
meth should be thrown out on the
lower side to Lorut s sort of eai-
ifiasakiceia.t to the drain, Tim grade
of tke ditch should not be so steep
as to give the water su>tolont force
to destroy the drain by either wash-
ing away the banks or digging the
drain itself deeper and thus making
it dangerous for the *heap and lambs.
Sub -drains are sometime' ne..isary.
A system of terraohig is quite
universally used to prevent deetrue-
ti'e washouts on killstdse. The ter -
rams" aro mad. perteetly level and
of any width and the: carefully seed-
ed to grass. At the time of rain the.
water spreads out evenly over the
surface of these and then lows gent-
ly over the slope below without sufli-
etent force to wash away any portion
of the hill and thus prevents
"gulleyleg."
For the drainage of tilled hillsides
a arystem of under -drainage is some-
times used successfully. The amount
of erosion of the land largely de-
pends on its condition. If the sur-
face sell can be kept firm the erosion
will be lessened, Soft spots on the
hilleide, though, treituelttly oceUr as
a. result of seepage water frown above
which has penetrated the surface
*oil and reached an impervious layer
and thus deflected to the surface on
the side of the hill. Water flowing
over this with considerable force will
naturally wash it away more easily
than the Irmer soil free from this
seepage water.
If tile drains are so laid to Inter-
cept this seepage water, considerable
erosion can be prevented. It the hill-
side is comparatively steep, drains
laid at an angle to the incline will be
raore.satisfaetary. They will natural-
ly intersept all of the water lowing
through the soil above them. Also
the grade will be less and the drains
aro not so liable to be alested by the
water moving slowly through them.
I1 tke slope is not very steep the
drains may be laid down the incline
with satisfactory results. Here the
tile drains the land on both sides
and no double draining results.
Is this underdrainage the general
benefits are again obtained. The
water level is lowered, thus giving
more root capacity to plants and the
prevention of surface washing by
allowing the water to penetrate
through the soil to the drains, thus
carrying much plant food to the roots
of the plants.—R. C. Moffatt, M.A.,
0. A. College, Guelph.
Methods of Keeping Cow Records.
Pour things are necessary for keep-
ing cow records:
1. A monthly milk sheet, ruled so
that there shall be a column for re-
cording the weight of , the morning
and evening milking of each cow for
each day of the month, though some
use a sheet ruled for three days only,
and estimate the weight of milk given
for the month from these three days,
which may be consecutive, or on the
first, tenth and twentieth of the
inenth, making ten-day periods be-
tween. The Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto, will furnish
(free) monthly milk record sheets
to those interested.
• 2. A milk scale — preferably one
hating a dial face and two hands, one
of which shows the net weight of
milk in the pail, when properly set.
This scale costs about five dollars.
3. A four to eight bottle Babcock
test, where it is deeired to know what
each cow's milk tests in fat. This
will cost from eight to twelve dollars
complete. (If a raeimber ofea cow-
testixg association or convenient to
a ereaniery or cheese factory, ar
rangements .can usually be auadeto
test the samples, hence the tester is
not needed, but a progressive dairy-
man should have his own testing out-
fit and use it.)
4. 'The fourth and retest important
requirement is '''The -will -to-do."
Without this, milk sheets,' scales,
testers, etc., are Valueless. . By having
scale, sheet, pencil,, sample, bottles
properly labelled, etc:; all convenient-
ly
onveniently arranged, it takes but little time
to keep a record of each milking co w
in the herd.
We would add a fifth need, which
is some form of permanent record
book for monthly totals andtests, as
milk sheets, and notes or records of
testing, are likely to be Lost and not
available for reference. But if these'
are recorded once a month in a per-
manent form, they will prove a tiotirce
of help in breeding, feeding and
weeding dairy cows. .— Prof. H. II.
