Among the men who early felt the benefits
of cycling. and did not hesitate to eNpend
money, Is Colonel Ben. 5. Lowell. d Boston,
Treasurer of the John J.. Lowell Arms Com
pany. of that city. Their firm name has
been familiar one for over fifty years hay-
ing been established in 1910. doing sport
ing goods and gun business. Being in a
kindred trade. it was but natural that they
should engage in the making and selling OF
bicycles Their success has been unbounded
as they have made a name for the Lowell
Diamond Cycles that is u familiar house
hold one in every hamlet in the land. 1t is
not possible to have done that without cost,
and a considerable one, too, as readers OF
current literature will admit, for have not
all of us encountered the symbolic words
'Lovell DiamondsY' To estimate the gross
amount that has been expended for adyertis-
ing would be difficult task. but it is said that
considerably over 800, 900 was spent by
them during 1884. All the big Eastern daiies
had entire pages, which cost lots of money,
and the magazines filed many pages exploit
ing lowell Diamond Cycles.
Can it be wondered at, then, that cycling
has become popular. when men like Colonel
Lowell spend such sums to make it 50?
Colonel Lowell is Treasurer of the John p.
Lowell Arms Company, and is q man of rare
business attainmentS, acquired by long ex-
perience and an aptitude possessed by few.
In private life he has won the respect and es-
teen OF every one he has been brought in
contact with, while his public record Is
equally good, on Ave different occasions rep
resentng his town in the Legislature, serving
in both branches. He served on the staff OF
Governor Long for three consecutive years,
and is now member of Governor Greenhalges
staff. He has been delegate to four National
conventions and there is not an office In the
gift of his townsmen which would not be ut
his disposal were 1t not for his great business
responsibilities There is no man In tho
bicycle business more respected than Colonel
Benz. S. Lowell. and no better bicycle is made
in the world than the Lowell Diamond.

Pleasure in California.

During the winter months the resi-
dents of the Eastern States make the
best of forbidding conditions and
amuse themselves in various ways by
large expenditure of energy They
work hard, but they have sport. They
must be careful to avoid the numer-
Gus dangers with which very cold
weather surrounds them. All of their
efforts at amusement are a struggle
against forbidding and uncongenial
aspect of nature. They simply create
all the pleasure they get; nature, in
stead of helping them, presents a
constant protest against their pleas
ure. During these same months the
visitor in California simply has to sit
down and enjoy more pleasure than
his most active efforts could have Sc
cured in the Eastern States; and if he
wants to double the pleasure which
mere inactivity affords, he can do so
with the least possible exertion. At
all times he has abundant sunshine in
California, for the rainy days are few
and short, and there is neither snow
nor ice to make him prisoner. Flow
ers bloom increasingly in the garden,
and fresh fruits are always at hand.
Watermelons and Strawberries grace
his Christmas dinner
All along the coast of California the
summers are cold enough to make
wooden clothing comfortable. In the
Eastern States the wretched inhabi-
tant wears the thinnest of clothing
and then suffers from the heat The
Californian goes camping or strolling
through the woods with no fear of a
drenching, for the California summers
are rainless. The mountain scenery
is of infinite variety and unapproach-
able majesty and beauty. Large and
elegant hotels abound at all the sea-
side resorts. Splendid vineyards and
orchards exist everywhere, and the
most gorgeous wild flowers abound.

IRRIeArIoN eY RAM powER.
A Stream Turned Out of Its Bed TO Wait
on-n Yankee

In New England thousands of acres
Of land are practically arid What is to
be done with these: This question seems
to have been solved by AN enterprising
farmer Of Simsbury, Conn, on a farm
composed of sandy and somewhat rocky
soil A brook winding its way through
this farm to the Pennington river was
changed in its course, being made to
run through a canal six feet wide along
the slope Of hill, 20 feet away, and
seven feet lower, nearly ON level with
the water table. A powerful hydraulic
ram was located. The water in the
canal was given a fall of seven feet to
the ram where the pressure was inten-
sified to 20 pounds to the square inch,
sufficient to water as desired six acre
field Of trawberries nearly mile away,
or to force the water 70 feet above into
a pond holding 300, 900 gallons. The
pond was made by drawing stones and
dirt and throwing up an embankment
in a well selected location on a hillside.
The pipe from the gam to the pond was
of 3 inch iron Next year this pond will
be stocked with fish and the water al
lowed to run in at the surface, to dis
seminate air and prevent its becoming
stagnant. When water is needed for
irrigation, it is taken direct from the
ram and from the pond at the same
time, and when not being drawn from
the pond for irrigating purposes the
water from the ram Is forced through
the same line Of pipe To the pond
Midway between the ram and the
pond T shaped connection is made Of
2 inch iron pipe. which extends to
the strawberry beds. All Of the 3
inch and a great portion of the 2 inch
pipe is laid under the ground, so as not
to interfere with pla@ ~ ef cultivation.
Stop cocks are ARRANGED al convenient
points The proprietor of this farm paid
$500 for the ram, bought the iron pipe
in the open market and secured $50 feet
of condemned Ire hese at 10 cCHts per
foot. The hose isreadily moved about the
strawberry fields. A large sized sprinkler
is used, being laid ON an inclined board
with few feet of hoe so as II be four
feet from the surfacc and to sprinkle
thoroughly in the desired direction.
Mr. j. c. Eddy. the proprietor, is
very enthusiastic ON the subject Of irri-
cation, and for excellent reasons, nc
cording to the account given iii detail by
Rural New Yorker This account leaves
no doubt about the utility, practicable
ity and profit of irrigation as practiced
by Mr.. Eddy.
