To prevent pumps from freez
ing: Drill a small hole, say one-six
teenth of an inch or less, in pump
stock, below well or cistern cover,
far enough down so that frost will
not reach It. With this method
(which I first used nearly forty years
ago) the pump Is always primed;
and, in warm weather, all the water
that Is pumped is fresh and cool. If
desirable to prevent water from
vent in pump stock striking wall of
well, place a tin collar around stock,
just above the vent; collar should
be five or six Inches wide, flaring
out over vent, and hang Just low
enough to catch the water.

130 tons. And of oranges, he sells
a million a week in December as
against 600,000 a week at other
times.
"Turkeys go from 6,000 to 14,000
In this firm's output, nutmegs from
five to 18 tons, raisins from 2,000 to
9,000 boxes and cigars from 1,000 to
3,000 boxes.

ular Christmas gifts, sell 50 per cent,
better than in any other month. I
know a man who sold $226,000 worth
ot whisky last December as against

Place For Preventorium.

ing the receipt of the letter from Mar
cus M. Marks, president of the tuber
culosis preventorium, Governor Fort
had a conference with State Charities
Commissioner George B. Wright con
cerning the laws relating to the admis

state.
At tho conclusion of the conference
Governor Fort said that the people of
Now Jersey were not opposed to the
establishment of the preventorium
within its borders, but they felf that
they ought to have something to say
as to where It should be located, and
it was on this ground that the opposi
tion to the home at Lakewood was
based. He said the state board of
health should have been consulted. He
said also that it was unreasonable for
tho projectors to locate it in the heart
;of a -thickly populated resort.
