A .great many farmers would like to have ice to use in the summer if it were not so much: of a job to put it. up.

At that time crude oil was. worth in the open market from e9 to V10 a barrel, and a well which, pro- duced largely Glad gave promise of Permanency, was, therefore, looked up- on :le •a veritable gold mine. Accord- ingly, as soon as report had heralded abroad, of course with the usual am- plifications, the hidden richesof the district there was a rush thither siim- Liar to character to many which have been wttueseed both before and since on this essentially enterprising conti- nent.

It will be rereem &red' that a. number of wellAe yielding large mien- titiee of oil were drilled, as wellas many more which yielded nothing. The fact was established, however, that oil existed in great quantities, and every new well which proved suc- cessful intensified the excitement and stimulated the operators to increased exertions. This coneition of things. grew during the spring and summer of 1866, and had reached its height in the fall of that year. when suddenly, and almost without warning, every- thing collapsed, and the population of the town, which had reached 9.000 persons, melted in a few weeks to half of that number. Everything was aban- doned, properties, good, ba land indif- ferent, and machinery, to the value of thousands of dollers, The occasion of this unexpected and rapid dispersion was partly the celebrated Fenian raid, which greatly alarmed the whole com- munity; but 'the real cause which kW - in or two of water at night when quitting work and find it solid ice in the morn - The ,way to build on fast is • to put on only as'much water as will freeze to tuna soon—a, pailful. or two a anion of the terraocy opened up will ae lasting.

Beyond it on all sides dri ling is in progress, and quite a. number of wells have been completed. The utmost activity • has been displayed during the past ala or seven menthe in aoquiring leases of land for miles surrounding .Bothwell, and in many instances farms have been bought outright where there, was a reasonable prospect that the property was desirable. The Township of Zope, in which the Town of Bothwell to situated, has been the centre of the greatest. amount of activity. both in the acquisition of land and in the drilling' of wells, but no little share of attention bas been devoted to the Town' ship of Orford, which lies south of the river, and lately a number of enter- prising men have begun operations in Euphemaa, to the northeast of the town..

WARM HOUSES. A warm house for laying stock ie an absolute necessity. We do not mean one artificially heated, although some breeders of the large comb varieties are obliged to use artificial heat to pro- tect the combs from freezing. There are a great variety of houses used by the best breeders and hardly any two are alike. Yet they are all constructed with the same idea, to with- stand cold winter weather. It ,s a somewhat difficult matter to construct a wooden building so that it can be kept frost proof. Frame dwellings, be it re- membered, are kept warm by artificial heat and would not be habitable without it. A. hen house should be constructed that water will not freeze in it dur- ing the coldest weather, If such a tem- perature can be maintained, there is -no doubt that plenty of eggs all winter will be the result. A warm house is more important than feed, in fact, all the feed. in the world will not induce hens to lay if the house is cold. The first thin consider is location, Seleot a site winch is well protected, especially on the north and went sides. If fortunate enough to find a side hill, then the conditions are most favorable; otherwise barns or buildings can be uti- lized for protection. A grove of trees wilt. often answer as a strong wind- break. As the sun rises later in winter and furbh'er towards the soutb, houses should face generally south. with : a slight inclination to southeast. Next they should be built low, se low as possible.
