Construction Described— People un Farms Live Longest_ (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) The well is the usual source of the farm water aupply, and a good well. that 18, one which auppllea plenty of pure fresh and wholesome water the year round, is certainly one of the must essential and valuable assets of the fortis. 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 :here licit and last and all the time, and we cannot con- ceive of an lutelligent man buying a - farm without a good well it he in - teem,' to lime un it and make it pay dividends. A Good Water Supply Is Common. Fortunately most of Ontario's farina are well supplied with water, In fact It ie a rare thing to find a farm where it could not be secured in sufficient quantities by drilling to reasonable depths.- 'Phe supply. therefore, will probably never cause us any serious worry, but judging by recon. report 1,8 analysis of many dY waters Proal this province one ,c.rms justified In concluding that there is stili n -ed for education of the rural public in regard to the pro- tection and care of the farm well. Ilia following suggestions will be found helpful to any faruter desirous of making his water supply safe :!.. iia 3: possible underground and surface contamination. Location of the Well Most Important - The first step in the solution of :his problem of purer water supply s the location of the well. This should be by all means on ground higher than any source of contamina- tion such as barnyard, cesspool, or outside privy. If there should be no elde,. in location and this cannot be done, then the well should be kept a considerable distance from such con- taminations, at least 100 feet is clay, and 200 feet or more in sandy soils, and the cribbing and top of the well specially protected as detailed ..it r against the entrance of any seepage and surface washings. How to Keep the Water Uncon- taminated. In the second place the cribbing i.r at least ten feet below the Bur- rile:. ursae. should be made impervious to crater so that any cobtamination in solution reaching the well would 'lave to pass down through this ex- tra depth of soli before getting into the well, when in all probability 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 putting a wall of puddled clay one root thick and ten feet deep around the well cribbing, and in case of a newly -dug well, or recribbing an old one, by using large concrete tile for the cribbing and setting the joints thoroughly to rich cement. Before the MP are placed in the well the outsides 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 provid- ed with a strong and tight -fitting cover made of heavy plank or con- crete so that it will always be safe for man and beast, and proof against the entrance of dirt, small animals like frogs, etc. Using a Second or Dry Vi'ell. 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 ventilated, by putting a small iron pipe, with the exposed end turning downwards, through the top or cover. And, fifthly, the stock should not be allowed to tramp about close to the well. What has been said refers chiefly to dug wells, bit even the drilled or driven wells should be well drain- ed and protected at the top, for ntherwlse 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 here detailed, and an occa- siiimal pumping out and cleansing of the well with a little lime, will as- sure a pure and wholesome water supply.—R.

PROPER STORING OF FARM IM- PLEMENTS SAVES MUCH IN TIME AND MONEY One of the easiest seasons in years for ill-treated farm machinery is drawing to a close, and within a month, at most, winter storage of tiiiage and harvesting implements will be in order. A farm imple- ment that is laid by in bad condi- tion at the end of the season is pretty likely to befound in the same shape, probably worse, in the spring when the time conics for using it again. Unfortunately there's no magic that heals broken parts over winter, re- pairing the wear and tear of one season, and bringing forth a bright, sound tool ready for instant work next year. fllhonghtleiisness in the handlhngl, care and repair of farm implements results annually in the loss of thou- sands of dollars and much time at e season when time is roost valu- able. The proper time for over- hauling farm implements is during their period of inactivity and 'before the spring rut*, when farm work is pressing and delays are costly. If put off until the implement is -needed, delay incident to getting re- pair parts, press of other work, . and the hazy recollections of the past season's diffroulties with the tool or machine may (hinder 'greatly. Probably no implement used on the farm receives a greater amount of abuse or as Suttle attention to its proper care, operation, and repair as the plow. It is the 'basic fare implement, and should not be allow- ed to remain in out-of-the-way places subject to the hardships of the weather. When laid by, it should be stored in a dry place away from contact with trite ground and the bright parts coated 'with grease to prevent routing. Once the mold- board, share, and the landside have become pitted with rust an efficient job of plowing cannot be done until the corroded parts again have acquired a polish. Many farmers .who would not neglect an expensive harvesting ma- chine are careless in the care of harrows, and other implements of this type. These also represent capital invested, and a large return Is possible ilf-they are properly cared for and housed .at the end of the season. If (stored under a shed the teeth should be supported by blocks or ,.boards so that they will not be- come embedded in the ground. All accumulations of' earth 'and trash should be removed. Especially ds this true of wooden frame harrows. The earthy accumulations retain moisture and hasten decay of the wood. if these parts 'have dried out sufficiently they may be cleaned and painted, ,.which will prevent checlo- ing and splitting. As the.. harrow works in wet earth close to the ground, once checking has started the deterioration is rapid, especially at those points where metal and wood come into contact. At the close of the season, or when not in tree, if stored under a shed, the disk harrow should he ran upon boards so the disks may not OrNeuraIgia, Sciatica, Lumbago?

SHOULD BE REGULAR IN ONE'S SMOKING R. � nr—, y,a .- Tobaeoo and health was the subject of an address delivered recently by Sir James Oan;tdle, the famous Eng- lish. physician, before the members of bhe tobacco trade in Landon. The London correspondent of the New York Medical Journal quotes him as follows: "lie described it as a luxury, and hesitated to call it a physical neces- sity. But, in his opinion it was none the worse for .being a luxury. While he couldn:ot assert that it had done people any good physically, neither could he abate that it had done any harm. According to Sir James, to. bacco is one of bhe four social pois- ons, the other three being tea, coffee and alcohol, and ft was the last of the four to be introduced. "Alcohol was known by the first man, and it would go on forever and ever. He hastened to explain, how ever, that take juice of the grape was one thing, and alcohol as we know it to -day another. Tobacco might cause trouble now and again, but it was not nearly so dangerous as alcokal. If a person gave up tobacco for three days he would free his body of every part- icle of Nicotine. "Taken at the first blush, tobacco was the least harmful of the social poisons, and tea was the most harm- ful, "The speaker unreservedly con- demned cigarette smoking, and said that when he was a boy it was only the villain of the piece who smoked a cigarette. 'Cigarebte smoking was a habit that came from the East. The French, who were early cigarette smokers, were taught by the Arabs. He considered that cigarette smoking stained one's inside worse than it stained one's skin, and he proceeded to point out the dangers of inhala- tion, wh'iinh, he said, tended to make the lungs leathery. He had heard of a man Who smok- ed an ounce of tobacco every day of his ijfe, and yet lived one hundred years. If that man had amokan ounce one day and half an min the next day, he would not have' liv so long. The smoker tunes his heart to a certain amount of nicotine, and he should he very regular in the amount of tobacco he smokes. Referring to smoking by women, Sir James point- ed out that womankind had :long been addicted to the habit." MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO TREAT BURNS Writing of the different treatments for extensive burns, Dr. Harry Cohen, attending surgeon of the People's Hospital, New York, says that the popular carron oil is universally con- demned by surgeons who treat many horns, for the reason that it almost invariably infects the wound. He points out the serious disad- vantages of all treatments except that of paraffin, which was first in- troduced a [few years ago under the name ambrine, but did not win much favor because it was (secretly patent- ed and highly commercialized. How- ever, it proved so successful during the tear and can new he made so easily that the objections to it have disappeared. The greatest advantage that the paraffin treatment has over all others is that the patient suffers no pain when the dressings are changed. Fox the skin rapidly regenerates under it, is not torn away when bandages are removed and the wound heals without any of the contracting scars that so frequently result from a bad burn.
