Myron and Earlene Adams share their experience in digging a well. The authors needed a new water supply and learned the process through observation.

Questions and answers on the subjects of building an igloo shelter, and drilling a well are presented. Among some of the questions addressed are: how deep will the drilling method go, what is a relift pump, what type of insulation to use for the igloo, and how to move the igloo.

In none of the improvements in agriculture do I find farmers so slow to believe as in harrowing wheat after the ground has settled in the spring. Some ton or fifteen years ago much was said on this subject in the Genesce Farmer, showing the results of experiments, and explaining the reasons why it should operate beneficially upon the crop.

PEOPLE who are conversant with the evils that cigarets engender in minors argue against the use of tobacco by women on the grounds that it is useless to counsel boys not to smoke when they see women smoking.

MR. EDITOR,--I noticed, at the Fair at Canandaigua, a pair of steers which attracted much attention, from their docility. They were a beautiful pair of three-years-olds, of a deep red--worthy of admiration as mere beef cattle. But the manner in which they would perform the usual evolutions of hawing and jecing about, backing, moving faster or slower as required, is rarely equaled even by old oxen. These manoeuvres were performed while in the yoke; afterwards the yoke was removed, and the same evolutions gone through with as before.

From your remarks in the last number of the Genesee Farmer respecting the late meeting of the Ontario Agricultural Society, your readers might infer that you considered winter meetings of such societies of questionable utility. Such inclement weather as we had on that day is well calculated to prejudice the public mind, and it is not surprising that severe weather for two winter meetings in succession, should have caused a prevailing opinion that such meetings had better be dispensed with.
