KEEP DUG WELLS
FREE FROM DIRT
Dust and Other Foreign Matter
Likely to Gain Entrance
From the Top.
WATER MADE UNWHOLESOME
Thorough Examination Should Be
Made of Curb for Defects Deter
mine If Carbonic Acid Gas Has
Accumulated at Bottom.
(Prepared by. the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
It, properly located, built and pro
tected, dug wells are more likely to be
permanently satisfactory than any
other kind, but to insure the safety of
the water supply they require clean
ing occasionally. Even in protected
wells dust and other foreign matter,
which may pollute the water, are like
ly to gain entrance at the top, and
the washing in of clay and silt with
the ground water may make the sup
ply unwholesome.
First Step in Cleaning.
The first step in cleaning a well
should be inspection of the curb,
which, If weak or defective, may
make entrance dangerous. This ex
amination may be made more thor
oughly, and even the bottom of the
well may be observed by the aid of
a beam of sunlight reflected into the
well by a looking-glass. Next lower a
lighted candle to determine if car
bonic acid gas has accumulated in the
bottom of the well. Complete or par
tial failure of the candle to burn In
dicates that it is dangerous to enter
the well. If found safe to enter a
ladder should be lowered and the
curb from top down scrubbed with
wire or other stiff brushes and
rinsed thoroughly. The well then
should be pumped as low as possible,
and any mud, moss or other debris
should be scraped up Into pails and
removed. ,
Pump Out After Cleaning. '
After thorough cleaning the- "Well
should be allowed to fill and then ,Bo
pumped out rapidly. This operation,
may be repeated to advantage two or
three times, and often the whole work
results In a freer, larger-yielding well.
Many wells can be drained by hand
pumping, but In other cases a power
pump is necessary.
Unless there are special reasons for
so doing there is little use in attempt-
Facts are more convincing flian

HOW TO REMEDY CLAY SOILS
Ghosts In Maine.
The most tragic Incident of the sum
mer Is recorded In tho town of North
Edgocotnb. An elderly couple coming
home from church saw two ghosts.
The ghosts were flitting without ap
parent feet or legs through the gloam
ing and over the grass and through
other things. They were dressed, of
course, In the conventional white of
ghosts and ghostesses. The elderly
couple legged It like mad. They fell
Into a cucumber patch and could not
extricate themselves. The old gentle
man was rather badly Injured. They
wore rescued by the ghosts, who
proved to be a couple of farmerettes

Beneficial Results Secured by Making
It Loose Apply Ashes and
Dung Liberally.
Physically clay is a mass of very
fine, minute grains, stuck together as
a cemented substance, and Is compar
ably like putty In texture. Water Is
impermeable io it.
As a soil clay Is very nnsultnble,
for the land gets in ft waterlogged
condition and very coldvbot as.n con
stituent it Is very valuable, as It re
tains the moisture and holds plants
Una. Clay contains a small amount
of food substance, and end be ab
sorbed lu very smf.ll quantities. It
also retains the properties of decay
ing manures.
To remedy heavy clny soils by mak
ing It loose and friable, ashes and
long dung liberally applied would have
very beneficial results.
