WINDMILL. AT WORK.

often suffer serious damage the wheel
in some cases being torn to pieces. while
in others tho entire mill is blown down.
To DO a success mill must be strong
enough to Withstand any ordinary wind,
and mt the same time bo light and SO
easy running shat it viii turn in light
wind. Windmills rs made in this coun-
try are getting beyond the experimental
stage.
The old form of Dutch windmill gen
orally had four large and wide sails, but
the early american ferns used mills
with wheels carrying a large number of
narrow wooden Stats. This is the form
that Is in most common use perhaps to-
day, but with the low price of iron and
steel the barrow wooden Stats have in
como of tho newer forms Of mills given
place TO smaller number of iron wings.
There is n growing demand for the steel
windmills which are mado with single.
double or triple motion, as is desired
When the wind is light, the single mo-
tlon may not be able to turn, while the
double or triple motion mill can do
large amount of work, explains a writer
In American Gardening, which illus.
trates one of these steel wind1nills nj
work. The mills and towers are qalyan-
lied after they are completed, and should
run for many years without expense for
repairs. Where they can be used for anv
other purposes than pumping water it
VIII generally be best TO get q geared

Comparativs Cheapncss of This Power sor
Pumping watcr-Stccl Mills.

Pumping Watcr-StcGl Mills.
The iact that in some sections Of the
country nearly every farm has its wind
mill indicates the popularity of this
power for elevatipg water. 1t is true
that the wind cannot be depended upon
q 20 work the mill for more than six or
TINT sometimes entire days may pass
when there is not enough air in motion
I to turn the mill This is, to DO sure, a
serious fault. while partial if not entire
destruction of the mill may result from
q high wind, but against this We must
place the comparative cheapness Of this
power, both so far as the first expense is
concerned as well as the cost of running
lit.
Although the purpose for which wind
engines are best adapted is tho pumping
of water as it can bs stored in tanks or
reservoirs for use when there is not suf-
fcient motion in the air to turn the mill,
they have other uses TO which they are
fairly well adapted, such as the grind
ing of grain, the cutting Of wood aud
, hay and the running of light machinery
of various kinds. Pump an abundance
of water for use in the kitchen aud for
the stock and also sufficient for Watering
small lawn and n garden. Unless some
better method Of elovating water is
available, no farmhouse or country resi-.
dence should be without it's windmill
and pump.

Windmills Is that in high winds they
