was on the ground. Early in the pres
ent month the entire plant was COM
pleted and test was made. The capac-
ity of the pump was listed at 40S gallons
per minute, but the test showed that
under pressure it would far exceed this
limit. But we will not tell what others
proved, but what was demonstrated to
our own satisfaction.
On Monday last We gladly accepted an
invitation from Mr.. Lee to visi the grove.
Mr.. Chas. Couch was also of the party,
and Jim Pierce went along to take
charge as engineer. In due time we ar
rived at the grove, where Dennis Capers
already had steam up, SO there was no
delay.
We went direct to the neat sheet-iron
engine house, where we found everything
in working order. Everything showed
that master mechanic had done the
work, and there is not piece of botch
work to be seen. A five inch suction
pipe leads out of pond in the rear
of the engine house, and connects with
a splendid latest improved MCGOWAN
twin-lever pump, one Of the best made,
with improved valves, patented as late
as 1892. The steam power is supplied
by an upright boiler of 2O-horse power,
made by the Erie City Iron Works, con-
tanning II two-inch fues. The size of
the pump is 10 inches by 7x10 inches
and it works almost noiselessl y and with
no apparent friction. Water to supply
the inspirator is furnished from the main
pipe, and should this at any time get
out of order there is an extra water feed
direct from the main to supply the boiler.
Attached to the pump is safety valve
and should all the hydrants be suddenly
closed by the men in the field while the
pressure is on, the safety valve will blow
open and give an outlet for the water
through a two-inch pipe. There is a
gate valve placed in main near pump
that can be closed when pump is not
running so that by opening relief valve

of all pressure.
From the pump the four inch main is
laid across about the centre of the grove,
the entire length Of this main being 1920
feet AT intervals of 1870 feet, and rum
ming at right angles to the main pipe are
laid lateral pipes, 2 inches in diameter
there are seven of these laterals, each OF
which is | ,220 feet long. At regular in
tervals of 120 feet is set a hydrapt on
these laterals, giving II hydrants to
each lateral or II hydrants for the entire
grove. Now there are four sets of hose,
each fifty feet in length, with nozzles
attached, which fit on all of these hy-
drants. This gives you the plan of water
distribution. Between the laterals are
six rows Of orange trees, planted 25 feet
apart. With the hose the water is
thrown over the tops Of the third row of
trees, and in this manner every tree in
the grove is as we'll supplied with water
as if it stood next to the pump.
After dinner Mr.. Pearce took charge of
the machinery and Mr.. Lee set four men
to work on the hose, making the first
practical test OF the plant. 1t was his
purpose to give each tree in the grove an
average of one barrel Fifty gallons) OF

Irrigation Made a Success.


true that for some years past expert
ments have been going on, but some
how or other the large body of growers
were reluctant to admit that irrigation
must be resorted to. But the past three
wears have impressed this subject upon
the minds of the horticulturists in sIch
a way that it was impossible to longer
evade the serious results occasioned by
the lack of seasonable rains. But the
straw that broke the cancels back was
the trying experience of the year 1892.
At no time during the whole twelve
months can it be said that the soil was
supplied with sufficient moisture, and
this is made evident by the fact that the
orange trees failed to make new growth
of wood, to say nothing OF the loss of
thousands of boxes of fruit. And who
can estimate this loss in efailure OF the
trees to puton their accustomed growth?
The practical grower had spread the
usual amount of fertilizer in the grove,
and this may be said to have been a
total loss. And how often has it hap
pened that after the spring application
of fertilizers there was no rain to carry
it to the roots and set it into chemical
action, so that the delicate feeders could
take it up and send new sap through the
tree to make wood and fruit.
The natural season for an orange tree
to blossom is in the month Of February.
When the tree blooms later than this 1t
may produce a very good orange, but
the quality cannot be so excellent as
when the formation occurs at the proper
season. Second, third and fourth bios
soming of the trees, which few years
ago was considered a novelty, has now
become frequent occurrence, and trees
have been known to set fruit as late as
August. These freaks of the orange are
the result OF dry seasons more than all
other causes combined.
Let old growers tax their memories
and recall the Spring season when it was
not just little too dry; such seasons
have been few and far between.
The progressive growers have become
dissatisfied with this state of things,
therefore we see them boldly facing the
inevitable, and making preparations to
irrigate. Among this class, Mr.. j. II.
Lee, of Lake Charm, would at once be
selected, for he is looked upon as an
authority in the business, which position
can only be attained in any business by
success. Associated with him in most
promising 40 acre grove is Mr.. Simeon
FarWell, and when we say that he is one
of the well known and successful bust"
ness men OF the Worlds Fair city, it is
not necessary for us to state that it did
not require any lengthy argument to get
him into the scheme. That was not a
great while ago, but no sooner settled
that they should put in an irrigation
plant to cover their entire forty acre
groves at Geneva, than arrangements were
entered into. Sanford's enterprising
and prosperous hardware merchant, Mr..
Geo. IL. Fernald now appears on the
scene with his right hand man, Mr.. Ma

experience for the work in hand. About
