Ask the Old Fanner: We have
just taken a trip through
New England and we came
across many old wells, some
of them very deep and most
of them small in diameter.
I just can’t understand how
they were stoned up and
down after they were dug?
J. G., Mansfield, Ohio.
They were actually atoned
before they'were dug; the
well-diggers started to stone from the top. They dug dovm
a few feet or more, then stoned up what they had dug. They
kept doing this until they finished.
Home Hints: Tighten sagging cane chair seats by wetting
them with half hot water and half vinegar and putting them
in the sun to dry . . . Place half an apple in an air tight
container with baked goods to keep them moist.
