the Ottawa branch and the freight and Cha
mute train on the Howard branch.
The new card gives an advantage t.
parties wishing TO go to Kansas City
and return the same day. They can
leave here at $50 a. M, arrive in Kan
sas City at 11:40 a. m. Returning, the
accommodation leaves Kansas City at
$50 and arrives here at 1910. This
gives almost six hours in the city and
allows the passenger to arrive home at
a comparatively early hour.
Another advantageous change is the
Chanute accommodation. This train
leaves over the Howard Branch at 6:15
and arrives at Chanute at O'Clock, Oh
leaving Chanute at 2:15 p. m. the pas
senger can arrive here by that train at
9:l5.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 81 1888
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-10-02

3. 1t decreases with increase OF dame
ter of pipe.
f. It increases with roughness of inte-
rior surface
4. 1t is Independent OF the pressure of
water.
Now suppose it is required to deliver
200 gallons per minute at the end of one
thousand feet of three inch pipe, the We
locity would be nine feet per second, loss
OF pressure would be (neglecting losses at
entrance, bends, valv IS, etc, fifty pounds,
or one hundred and fifteen feet, leaving
useful head of fifty pounds, or one hun
dred and fifteen feet for direct-pressure
pump. This is not strictly true, as there
are other losses, as stated; but if that
head is required the pump is capable of
increasing the pressure to make up for
the loss.
Now, from the tank forty feet
high the whole head would be used and
three-inch pipe could not deliver the same
vi WCbUCI. IL OOI1NO1 AOO SQl-
Ions per minute one of two conditions
must be flled-either the tank raised or
the delivering pipe increased in size, the
length remaining the same. Supposing it
impracticable to raise the tank, then
six-inch pipe would reduce the velocity to
227 feet per second, and loss of head to
one and seven tenths pounds, about four
feet, leaving useful head OF thirty-six
feet, which is again not strictly true, as
losses of head from bends, valves, ETC.,
have been neglected as in discussing con-
ditions of a three-inch pipe with direct
pressure; but it has been shown that by
slight additional cost for pump, boiler
and fuel, expense for tank and two lines
of pipe can be obliterated, and the same
quantity of water delivered through a
three-inch pipe, under over twice the head,
as through six-inch pipe.
Then there is another reduction of ex-
pense, having a greater head resulting
stream will be projected farther, and to
cover given area with the same quanti-
ty of water, requiring fewer three-inch
pipes with direct pressure than six-inch
pipes with tank. Three-inch pipe costs
% cents, weight 7.54 pounds. Six-inch
costs Sc cents weight 1876 pounds.
To sum up, at a small additional ex-
pense, by direct and heavy pressure,
large saving can be made, in number and
size of pipes and in time, or same thing,
number of men to apply a given quantity
OF water to given area of land, and ex-
pense of tank and necessary piping wholly
saved. 1t is totally useless and harm
full expense. In cases where irrigating
works are already installed with tanks,
it would be a saving to abandon the
tank. Usually the tank pump is good for
fifty or more pounds and the boiler capa-

ter pressure; taking forty pounds would
give an equivalent to tank or stand
pipe ninety two feet high, and at the cost
of the cheapest element in the whole ex-
pense-a little fuel Unless the tank is
useful for a supply of water for domestic
and occasional purposes, it would be
economy to use it for fuel.
Given in the condition OF water falling
as rain is the best method of irrigation
the problem is one of the simplest the hy-
draulic engineer could have to solve. The
system is in use in innumerable towns,
villages and factories. Always one of two
systems are used:
1. Water is delivered to a reservoir, or
stand pipe, with moderate pressure for
domestic purposes; in case of fire a valve
is closed at the tank or stand pipe and di-
rect heavy pressure applied to the mains,
| tanks are used only when some point is
found above and near the town, so one
pipe can be used for both delivery
and supply, when such high point does
not exist, stand pipe is erected near
the pump.
2. In the second system no tank orstand
pipe is used, pumping directly into the
pipes, governor being used to keep the
pressure uniform. In the village of Can
andaigua, N. Y, which has the first sys-
tenn, an expensive fire engine is no longer
used, saving expense of horses and at
tendants, only hose reels being required.
In regard to the best method of irriga-
ting; before installing my plant, | visit
ed all the irrigated groves | could hear of,
and found them generally expensive fail
ures. then tried many methods, of spread
ing water over the land, bitches, ETC., but
it goes down. Another thing [ found
(this is all for sandy soil, hammock and
pine, J, after the ground is wet, water can
not make it wetter, and for irrigation a
surplus of water is useless expense; the
excess simply goes where water already
exists.
In regard to quantity, was informed
by some people 1000 gallons per acre;
others 5O,O00 AS Twas in search of data,
not wild guesses, the information was use
less.
On my experimental plots hammock
thirty feet above water) | found 5000
gallons per acre were sufficient to make
moisture meet, but this was on small
plot and carefully distributed SO each
square foot got exactly it's allotted pro-
portion. In distributing by hose and
nozzle over large areas, water cannot be
uniformity distributed My first day of
general watering required $4,000 gal
Ions per acre to get every part thorough
ly watered After little practice, the
nozzle men got down to 10000 gallons,
and the best man could do it with 1000.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-10-02

think it best to estimate on 10000 to
IL, 900 gallons, and if the nozzle man can
distribute with less waste, SO much gained
in time. AS my grove is remote from ma
chine shops and impossible to obtain
skilled machinists at any time wanted,
use the Hall pump on account of it's sim
plicity, no cams, levers, etc, requiring ad-
justment, liable to get out of order, to be
tampered with by meddlesome people,
clOgged with dirt or sand. In the Hall
pump there are no such intricate devices;
nothing moves outside except the rod
connecting water and steam pistons; the
slide valves are moved by thesame steam
that move the main piston. Another ad-
vantage, the pump can run at much
higher speed, as the slide valves are
worked by an elastic force (steam) in
stead OF by blows of tappets. The Hall
pump would work if buried in the ground.
/ use the Fisher governor, asst is the sim
plest and cheapest made, and will govern
at any pressure. [ had ordered one OF
another make, but the manufacturers de-
cline to guarantee it for 100 poundspres-
sure. The Fisher governor is simply
loose valve placed in the steam pipe be-
tween the throttle and steam chest above
it is small cylinder piston to which
water is admitted from main by quarter
inch pipe, pressing down on piston; arod Z
comes from piston to valve. having
spring under piston, by turning handle
the rod is heightened or shortened-set-
ting the governor for any pressure de-
sired thereafter. Pressure OF water down
and steam up allows the steam pressure
to keep the water pressure uniform, no
more steam on the pipe and fittings than
if water we're taken from tank of CORES
ponding height. The adjustments SO per-
feet and the Hall pump SO smooth and uni
form that is is noiseless when running at
a moderate pressure, say 100 pounds, a
sewing machine makes ten times more
noise. A large saving in expense can be
attained by the use of spiral sheet iron
piping, as three inch costs. asphalted, 15
cents, weighs one and a half pounds, with
a bursting pressure of over 15Opounds, be
sides saving in cost and freight: the cost
of connecting is very small, no tools being
required except wrencher to set up nuts
for heavy pressure. For gravity pressure
cement Joints are used.
The advantages of irrigation have been
SO fully discussed in your special Irriga-
tion Number, that | will only say my
grove has fifty acres; trees on twenty
acres, not irrigated, were badly damaged
by drouth, loosing leaves and nearly all
the oranges. The thirty acres irrigated
never had shriveled leaf, very few or
anges dropped; trees black-green and
starting a new growth at the end ofMay.
