A filthy well is an abomination and if you
would keep your weIl clean you must keep
it covered. Here is a
sketch of a cheap,
but effective covering:
Observe that the lid
is in two pieces, one
hinged to either aide.
When the bucket is
in use these are lifted
and buttoned against
the post. Several
welts in our pretty
village ftre neatly
framed in &boys the
curb and the frame covered with wire
cloth. This is more exaensive, but decid-
edly ornamental, especially if white houses
and green blinds prevail as here. Lattice-
work with apertures lain. square looks well
and is better than no protection but is not
so desirable as the close covers described.—
Faun and Home.
A SOCIETY LEADER ON FARMING.
The Chief of New York's 400 Agrees with
Washington and Tells Why.
The Father of our Country has said that
agriculture is the noblest occupation of
man, and Sterne tells us in his "Sentimental
Journey" that he who makes two blades of
grass grow where one grew before is a pub-
lic benefaztors. Among the ancients we
find that Cicero preferred his farm at Tus-
culum to the charms of Rome, and Horace,
man of the world that he was, sought his
Sabine farm with delight.
With these examples before me I natural-
ly took to terming, and in 1853 bought for-
ty-six acres of land on Newport Island, a
promontory extending far enough into Nar-
ragansett Bay to give you a glimpse of the
ocean. I then, like Cincinnatus, ploughed
my owu land, sowed my corn, raked and
gathered in my hay. The farm was a bare
lot, without even a shrub ; it had on it a
few tumble-down fermes, but utterly unpro-
ductive. For a year or two I had to buy
all my fodder. The work on the place I
supervised myself and was absorbed in it,
The destruction of a cauliflower by a grub -
worm in my farm garden would cast. a tem-
porary shadow over my life. The bursting
into leaf of a shrub, evidencing its having
taken root, elated me. The place was so
exposed that neither shrubs nor trees would
live and thrive without protection. ,I
found it as difficult to grow trees as to
bring up a delicate child, so I at once
grouped all my shrubbery for protection
and built high fences around each group,
eiving them a shield from the winds until,
the one supporting the otter, they could
stand unprotected.
Two groups of trees alone cost me $6,000,
counting their protection and the expense
of preparing the Iand. 1 spent a srnall
fortuoe on buildings, drainage, etc., and
then had to disburse annually $3,500, if
not more, to pay the running expenses of
the farm. The only return was a few eggs
and chickens, but it gave me daily occupa-
tion for six months in the year, a piece to
drive to, dine and picnic at, with good
fishing for myself and friends. The question
of expense began to annoy me, as it was all
outlay and no substantial return. So I got
a good young man and put the place in his
hands to be worked on shares, supplying
him with everything.
I then went in for profitable farming,
turned my place into a dairy farm and took
to sheep raisine, my farmer readily finding
a- market in Newport for his milk and
cream. Four hundred chickens, 125 tor -
kers and forty spring lambs soon created a
bank account, and to my surprise the annual
sales of produce on this forty-six acres
amounted to from $2,500 to $3,200. For
ten consecutive years my net profit, after
paying all expenses, was fully $700 a year.
I myself was one of the farmer's best 'cus-
tomers, paying the highest market price for
all he furnished me, taking from him milk
and crearn all the year in bath New York
and Newport. I must here say t•hat
this was the net profit after all improve-
ments, repairs and purchases of new stock
had been paid for. I put in my barn
forty tons of ha.y, mod had outside of it two
stacks of four to six tons each. I also
hired a pasture lot ot fourteen acres for my
cows.
This much for close atteneion and system
in farming, and for having at hand the first
and most important requisite—a market
for everything you produce, getting the
highest market price. This was 50 cents a
quart for cream, 7 cents for milk, al2 each
for spring lambs, $7 for those sold during
the summer, alI of them being Southdowns;
30 cents a pound far fall turkeys, and $2.50
each for chicken turkeys solcl in August and
September. No hay or straw was sold anu
the corn. was fed to the poultry. Three
good horses, a farmer and his boy did all the
work.
The mowing -machine of these modern
days, though it may have deprived hay-
making or the picturesqueness which the
poet so loyes to describe, so modifies the
farmer's anxiety as to rain destroying his
crop that, with the use of a fair amount of
judgment, he feels certain of gathering it
in fine condition. A Governor of Massa-
chusetts, at one of his large dinners, turn-
ing to a famous farmer sitting next him,
aeked what he should stock his farm with.
The reply was, aBanknotes." This may
have been good advice, particularly if he
had to expend large sums of money for fer-
tilizers. Fortunately I had three-quarters
of a mile of shore and collected vast quan-
tities of seaysee'd and rockweed, with
which covered my meadows. Then, New-
port being but three miles off as the crow
ffies, we carted out cord after cord of
stable manure from the sta,bles of the great
millionaires, whose grooms indulge their
horses to such an extent that we get load
after load of the best and most oxpensive
straw, which reelly oniy enters one door of
their stables to go out at another, into my
farm cart. It must be remembered that a
smart farm is proportionately more profit-
able than a large one; a smaIl flock of sheep
is also more ea.sily handled than a large
flock, for one can more readily shut up and
secure them ia a sheep -house each night.
On Newport Island it is important to pro-
tect your sheep from dogs. True, the towns
of Newport, aliddletown and Portsmouth.
will pay vou for all the sheep that etray
dogs kill, sending ari officer to examine each
animal killed ley a dog and pay for it. But
valuable Southdowne are werth a fancy
price, sucli as no town will award you.
My profit in farming is in my early
lambs, selling them at. $12 each during
March and April to a fashioneble butcher ;
also in sale or young chicken turkeys at
sa2.50 each (avoiding the expense of fatten-
ing them), and in the sale of poultry, milk
and cremn, pies and squabs.
As to the revenue of the farm, all I can
say is that my farmers for ten consecutive
years have received cash from sales of farm
product as follows :

One hall of this yearll income I receive.
The farmer receives the other half, first de-
ducting the running expenses of the place.
I wait curious to know the result of the
eight years' work of the man who took t.T.ie.
men in ISS1 and left it in 1888. tie told
me that when he came to me he was liter-
ally worth nothing. He had during those
eight years been able to marry, support a
wife and three children and closed with $2,-
500 in bank and three good horses, all made
*his thrift and economy on my place.
Such a man would take a place for $50 a
month, his house, milk and garden. In-
stead of thia I gave him the farm on shares,
he furnished all the labor I the horses,
stock, farming utensils and' what fertilizers
he needed, a house to live in and a farm
garden. For spring and summer work he
hired Italian labor at a very low figure,
getting it frourCastle Garden and paying,
say, $12 or $15 a month with board for an
able bodied man. For sceptics on profitable
farming I here give my farm account for
month of August last, to show how the
money is made. August is generally the
beat month of :the twelve • i.e., it is the
month in which you mak'e. the largest
sales.

Cash from sales of five lambS at

Cash from sale of chickens and eggs
in month of August . . . . . 60.55
Cash from sale of vegetables in
month of August 9 60
Total cash sales in August . . . €4335.31
When you look at these figures, and see!
what I have done without any special ef-
fort, it becomes a matter of surprise that
so many fine New England farms should be
abandoned, and others only held for want
of purchasers. To my mind the solution is
the loneliness of farm life. The- young
agel enterprising mena arefer to crowd into
tale- larger cities ; but it must be borne in
mind that there is no such solitude on a
Newport farm, for the whole is so thickly
settled, and as all these farms are dairy
farms, furnishing Newport with milk and
cream, it necessitates a daily trip to town.
One day it is the farmer, the next a mem-
ber of his family, and so on, driving to
Newport in a farm waggon, laden avith
milk, eggs and chickens. The monotony
of their lives is thus broken, and in this
way they all get a glimpse of fashionable
life. You will find that all theee farming peo-
ple,young and old, are quite conversaht with
the daily habits, manners and dress of our
fashionable throng. The Yankee farmer is a,
genius in his way. By his intelligence he
accomplishes his work with a minimum of
physical labor ; he is 'in fact a human labor-
saving machine. Their houses:- they keep
(to use a Down -East phrase) "pizen
and cling to the old habits and customs of
their forefathers. They are a proud race,
and on this island they can in most cases
trace their fa.milies to colonial days.
The love of farming seems to be natural
to great men, for we read that the Emper-
or Diocletian, when urged to resume his
power as Emperor (which .he bad abdi-
cated), declined, preferring his farm in Dal-
matia. Charlemaeme, we are told, sold his
asparagus, though t.he records of this are mea-
.gre. Ala.nv crowned heads Imve their farms
as one of tile interests of their lives. When
I wintered in Florence I daily ate the but-
ter sold from the ferns of the Grand Duke
of Tuscany. Marie Antoinette took much
pleasure in her dairy. Our groat Web-
ster's heart lay in Marshfield. A farmer's
close contact with nature gives him poeti-
cal ideas. Longfellow certainly had the
heart of a farmer when he described the
planting ot Indien corn in these beautiful
lines :
Make a bed for me to lie in
Where the rain may fall upon'me,
. Where the sun may come and warm me.
Day by day did Hiawatha
Go to wait and watch beside it,
Kept the dark mould soft above it,
Kept it clean from weeds and insects ;
Tilt at length the small green feather
From the earth shot slowly upward,
And befare the summer ended -
Stoed are maize in all its bc-auty.
—Ward McAllister, in New York World.

A Common Sense Whiffletree.
I recently came across a farmer whose
horses were fastened to- the wagon by an_
odd looking whiffle -
tree. The sketch will
give you an idea of
the way it is made.
A and B are chains
about 1 ft. long. C is a chain 2 ft. long
passing around the pulley at the center of
the stick. The iron which holds the pul-
ley passes aronnd the stick and has a
swivel -hook, H, which answers for a
elevis, The farmer said that his whiffle -
tree was the best thing he had on his farm.
It was light, strong and not at all
clumsy, like the old-faehioned kind.—
Charles Lewis.
Diseases of Fowls.
Preventive measures pay best in the
poultry yard. Sound food of variety, clean-
liness, and judicious care is indispensable.
Pure water for drinking, and plenty of
water for flushing the runs where fowls are
confined, are essential to health. Wherever
there is a well-planned hen hospital, with
numerous patients, there disease prevaile.
It would be more profitable to put sick
fowls deep under the ground. Poultry rune
must be frequently changed and thoroughly
cultivated, to destroy the germs of disease.
This plan has kept two of the largest poul-
try sestalelishments in France in perfect
senitary condition tor from 40 to 60 years.
There has been a substantial ,and healthy
improvement in the poultry industry with-
in the past five years.
Liquid and Solid Manure.
There is no practical means of determin-
ing the difference in value between liquid
and solid cow manure, for in neither condi-
tion is it ever exactly alike. The food of
the cows, and different times and seasons,
would materially affect the quality and
value of the manure. The advantage in
using dissolved or liquid manure is in its
condition, for the roots of plants cannot
absorb or take up fertilizing materials
from the soil except in a liquid or gaseous
form ; consequently., if we desire an im-
mediate effect, we. apply dilute liquid ma-
nure. In a moist climate and in ()alit soil
etr)
it is better to apply the reanure in its raw
or semi-solid form, and leave it to tbe dis-
solved by the rains or water in the soil.

Farm Notes.
During the eeason when eggs are plenty
and cheap many persons pack them, small
end down, in a box well covered with coarse
salt, never allowing the eggs to touch each
other, Have small holes bored in the bot-
tom to drain off the moisture. Some use
oats to pack in.
It is comparatively few. who have suffi-
cient amount of manure to dress all their
land each year. The best way fOr most
farmers is to concentrate most of the MA-
nure they use on the crops that require
• most labor, and which are usually the ones
that will best pay for it.

The Dreaded LaGrippe.
Following this scourge of humanity come a train of
evils in the shape of obstinate colds, coughs, lung
troubles, etc. There is no remedy so prompt, and at
the same time effectual and pleasant, as Milburn's

phosphites, which io the latest and best combination
of anti -consumptive remedies. Price 50e, and $1.00

There are more eases of sickness and death from
diseased kidneys than from all other diseases com-
bined. It is your own fault if you allow your kid-
neys to remain in an unhealthy condition when the
cure is at hand. Dodd's Kideey Pills are guaranteed
to cure the worst cases. It costa but little to give
them a trial. They are for sale by all druggists and
dealers, or by mail on receipt of 60 cts. or 6 boxes for
$2.60. Write for book called Kidney Talk.
We do not 'know of any preparation that has
caught the public favor in so short a time as Dodd's
Kidney Pills, but when we consider that three-
fourths of the Canadian people are afflicted with
kidney troubles in some form or other, and that
Dodd's Pills are a quick and permanent cure for all
these troubles, the large and increasing demand can
scarcely be wondered at. Sold by all dealers, or by
