Many farmers, unable to realize profits during the past two or three seasons, were thinking of leaving the land. They have now been encouraged to remain for the better times which seem inevitable. There is also a great need for new and more modern farm equipment throughout the country.

As you do not give the depth of the well, I would suggest that you secure about three pounds of fresh chloride of lime and mix it up in a tub full of water, and pour this into the well, stirring it up carefully. Let this stand a day or so, then pump out the well as completely as you can, remove the pump and wash down the casing with a brush wet with a strong chloride of lime solution, and also wash off the pump pipe. Then before putting back the pump, you ought to clean out the bottom thoroughly by using a sand bucket, which is a heavy bucket, the right size to slip down the well easily and provided with a loose bottom to let the water and mud in. It closes when you lift it up. Then make a worm-tight cover, which you can do with concrete, put in the pump and make it tight, and you ought not to have any further trouble. The water will probably taste so strong of chloride of lime that you cannot drink it for a few days, but this will soon wear off.--I. W.
