The weir should be so placed that the water
passing over it should be in effect discharge
be in the least affected by the velocity of the cur
rent flowing into the reservoir or weir box. This
velocity of infowing current, If noticeable at
the weir becomes velocity of approach, which
will render inaccurate the desired measurement
This velocity of approach" may be obviated by
placing more lattice screens made of laths
or other similar constructions between the weir
and the inlet.
The length of notch should be at least four
times it's depth for small quantities, and longer
for large quantities. In addition to the above,
for accurate measurements it is advisable If pos
sible to also have the length of the notch about
two-thirds of the width of the water on the up
stream side; it may be necessary to experiment
somewhat in order to obtain this condition.
The overall, vertical distance, the water falls
on the downstream side, should be about twice
it's depth-that is, IL inches if the notch is six
inches deep, and so on.
In the pond not less than three feet, and pre-
ferably six feet from the weir and to one side SO
as to avoid any current, drive a stake, with its
tops precisely level with the bottom OF the notch
in the WEIR then measure carefully with rule
the depth of water over the top of the stake.
This will give the theoretical depth of flow.
The two tables given on this page may be used
to determine either the number of miners inches
or the number of cubic feet per minute.
The weir table is based on zero velocity OF ap-
proach Where the velocity of the stream is con-
siderable the following correction must be added
to the measured depth in order to compensate for
this velocity of approach:

One of the most interesting sections of the
Government display at the A.-Y.-P Exposition is
that assigned to the United States Department of
Agriculture In it are to be found a great variety
of animal and vegetable products, exhibited in
many forms and stages of preparation for final
use. The bureau of plant industry shows fine
collection of the legumes with their useful bac
terra nodules vast collection of seeds and grains
etc. The bureau of animal industry has collec
ton of meats and stock products and illustrations
of methods of handling stock for the eradication
and prevention of diseases The bureau of roads
has models of clay, gravel, oiled and macadam
road construction There are many other inter
esting exhibits. Forestry is shown in a separate
section --
Mr.. j. J. Jusserand Ambassador from France to
the United States, is visiting the Pacific North
west. He is quoted as saying: 'The further West
1 travel the more establishment have over the
greatness of the United States. If the people OF
France had such rivers are in the West they
would dam them all and allow none of the water
to go to waste. Irrigation is great thing espe-
cially for the Western part of America" This
sentiment emphasizes the admonition to See
America First" The A-Y-P. Exposition gives
many of our Eastern friends good opportunity
to heed the advice.

Inner
Player
Pianos

1t is strange how few people are
acquainted with the capability of some
of the most modern Player Pianos.
The other day a lady said: Yes,
but they're too mechanical-no ex-
preston" What a revolution it was
to her when we demonstrated the new
Kingsbury Inner-Player, which with
the use Of the Solo-Aid feature there
in enabled the performer to play the
melody louder than the accompani-
ment, and with expression more per-
feet than is obtained by the average
person playing by hand.
Another person said: 81 am not
strong enough to pedal any Player
Piano have yet seen; they are too
hard" How surprised she was when
shown that there was enough
strength in one finger to operate the
pedals of Kingsbury Inner-Player.
A gentleman remarked, That kind
Of piano takes UP too much room,
it's too wide" The Kingsbury Inner
Player is no wider than the average
upright piano.
And remember, too, that the Kings
bury Inner-PIayer is fully guaranteed
for five years-the player mechanism,
as we'll as the piano.
We want you to come in and see
our line of Player Pianos. You will
be agreeably surprised, the same as
everybody else who has seen these
wonderful instruments. Come in.
Your old piano taken in exchange.
