No. hearing grayels 30 TO 50 feet, ac-
Nes,ne 10 he thickness Of the gravels

.'irsrs Tor these wells can be made OF
,i.,,1d galvanized iron. The perforated
,l,si sboud be placed opposite all the
80 travels. or at depth Of 10 feet
- the surface OF the water. These
trainers can be made by any mechanic
~ ppnching XXI inch slots into heavy
,slvanigsd iron and then riveting tho
ss,ffs into cylinders Of the proper d.
.,cstsr. The cylinders should be rolled
u suth a way that the burr made by
rrBfhine the slots will come ON the
outside OF the FINISHED casing, and 50
hat The slots WIZ be vertical.
A much better stralner can be made
rs purchasing the metal In sheets al
1sdv perforated. For this purpose
sieel sheets isxl90 inches in dimensions
rsrforated with hit and miss slots, S-l6
Il inch. and galvanized after the per-
Drations are made. will make IDEAL
arainers. When rolled into cylinders
these sheets form A casing about j.
Inches In diameter. In constructing the
well The perforated sections should be
plf IN place. one above another. 10
within about N feet OF the water level
rom this depth upward, the casing
should not be perforated

II IL is necessary to construct sew
,fal wells In order TO secure the amount
u water required for an Irrigation
plant II becomes important 20 consider
me best and most economical arrange
nent ~ the wells Two different meth |
'ds win be found available for this pur-
pse II the amount OF water required |
{ not greatly IN excess az that which |
an be supplied by a single tubular well, |
I Is often found practicable 10 con-
truct a large dug well, 10 10 feet In |
.lnmeter, 10 q depth OF 3 10 10 feet be- |
0w the water level. Inserting IN tho |
.ottom Of the dug we'll several feeders |
" perforated galvanized iron. as de- |
.rlhed above. This method has the adj
sntsge Of permitting the pump that |
10 recover the water 10 be submerged |
b the water Of the well.
In order to sink dug well the |
roper distance below the water level |
Is necessary TO construct a wooden
rick or concrete crib that will sink As
he material is removed from its inie'
.or
Another method OF recovering a large
uantity OF water Is 10 sink a battery
Z wells and connect them by suction
ipe 10 the pump. This method Ia
dapted 10 secure a larger supply than
no method Just mentioned. Three or
our. or more wells can be arranged
D. a straight line, 20 to 80 feet apart.
nd connected 20 a pump placed neal
me- center 81 the row Of wells. Prob
s1ly the most satisfactory pump for
use IN irrigation Is the centrifugal
pump.
