the neighboring city. Neither was 1t
necessary to employ a high-priced
plumber to install them, as the own
er and the neighborhood carpenter
had "gumption" and did the work
themselves.
We lived one year in the hills of
Georgia where the chief water supply
was from springs. One man installed
hydraulic ram at little expense, and
forced water into the house, where
before, all had been carried, pail
full by pail full, up a long, steep hill
There are thousands and thousands
Of country homes where the expense
OF a first-class water system may be
met and thousands of other homes
where water may at least be had in
the kitchen, and the only reason they
do not have 1t is that they have taken
for granted that only city people
could afford such Injuries, and by
not investigating, have gone on deny
ing themselves the comfort of an
abundance Of water at the turn of a
faucet.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1910-1920, 1910-07-30

The weekly expense of running this
system for the water amounts to
about 10 cents. 1t is necessary un-
der ordinary conditions to run pump
two or three times week. / get
gasoline at 1914 cents. and oil at
60 cents. 1t takes about " gallon
gasoline per week and / pint Of oil.
Now, some one will ask about
drinking water. Well, the pump is
set to one side of the we'll and you
can draw bucket of fresh water
whenever wanted. l believe this sys-
tenn is of more help to the women
folks than anywhere else. Instead
OF having to go to the well and draw,
or to the spring and carry up hill, all
they have to do is to turn spigor
and they have all the hot or cold
water they want. For watering the
stock this is quite time saver.
When you come home from church
on Sunday and see all the stock
wanting water, you don't have to take
off Sunday clothes and draw water
for an hour; all you have to do is
turn a spigot. When the buggy and
carriage get muddy, it is not such
dreaded job to clean them up. The
children enjoy turning the hose and
watching the mud leave them. The
really hold the paint longer
and look so much better.

Pump and Tower System That

Messrs Editors: By advertising,
I got new 3 horse power gasoline
engine for $110 I had four oak
posts sawed SKIS at bottom and 6x6
at top and 40 feet long, to build a
tank tower. These and necessary
cross pieces cost $14 laid down, by
the saw mill man. / bought from a
reliable catalog house, advertising in

galvanized tank, paying $3.50 at
factory. The tower could have been
put up by farm labor, but nearby
contractor offered to take the job of
erecting the tank tower and placing
the tank, for $45. / put 3-inch
pump in my we'll, which is immediate
ly under the tank. My engine is
placed in the well-house nearby. /
bought set of plumbers tools, and
after using them for all necessary
work, sold them for what they cost
me. I used farm labor in making
all connections. etc. l put pipe to
the barn for the stock, one to the
garden, one to the front yard for the
lawn and flowers, one to the kitchen
and one to the bath tub for cold
water. Connection was made from
the kitchen pipe for the range boiler
and kitchen sink. The hot water
pipes were then run to the kitchen
sink and bath room. We did not
want the water closet. and there
fore, got rid of the cost of laying
sewer pipes. We used ordinary q
inch pipes for taking water away
from kitchen and tub.

actual cost of this system:

WATER ALWAYS READY FOR
USE.
II You Have n Spring With Fall,
IA Hydraulic Ram Will Furnish All
the Water You Need for 500.

Messrs. Editors: Any farm that
has spring with few feet of fall
carrying the water away from it can
have a water supply in the house.
In my house / have a bath room
on the second floor, with bath tub,
wash basin and closet, and in the
kitchen, on the first floor, is run
ming water at the sink Water runs
all the time In the kitchen and in
the bath room.
This is my system, and it is mex
pensive and efficient:
Below the spring is a ram, which
cost me eight or nine dollars at the
factory. Day and night it pumps
water to the house. The cost of the
equipment is but a few dollars, de-
pending on the distance from the
spring TO the house. The pipes en-
ter the house in the cellar, go to the
bath room and to the kitchen, and
waste pipes carry away the water
from both places.
| set the ram and laid the pipes
myself, and set the bath tub, the
basin, the kitchen sink and the clos
ct. with about two days help of a
plumber TO make sure that the joints
about the house were tight.
Hot water can be provided for
any farm house, at a small cost, by
getting boiler from the plumber
and connecting with the kitchen
stove.
The entire cost of equipping a
farm with water system, bath
room and with hot and cold water
should not exceed 500 If the spring
is not so far away as to require a lot
of pipe.
With an available spring handy l
would never think of digging a we'll
to supply the house, as ram is
cheaper than well, and will pump
water into all parts Of the house day
and night. In six years my ram has
cost me for repairs, think, 5 cents
for small screw.
AS the wash basin in the bath
room is the highest point in our
water system we let the water run
there all the time, giving the ram an
open pipe, and when the water is
wanted down stairs the spigot is
opened and 1t lows there until it is

The tower mentioned is a 40-foot
tower with 10-foot wheel, and the
tank has a capacity of 700 gallons,
and has 20-foot elevation.
| do not claim the distinction of
being farmer, but l farm on small
scale. | have about five acres of land
which is capable of growing anything
from cowpeas to bale of cotton
to the acre. l have my garden spot
arranged for irrigation, and make a
living for my family on that alone;
and that is certainly an appreciate
supplement to my salary. l believe
l can safely state that a water-works

nothing of the comfort it adds to a
