the residence of Max Buren,.
The machine driven by Mr.. Nc

Yannke were going in the same di-
rection, while on the other side of
the street an automobile was being
driven in the opposite direction. The
McNary machine was following be-
hind and little to one side OF the
buggy, and, when the machine on
the other side of the street passed,
the horse SHE'D and leaped in front
OF the McNary machine. Before Mr..

The Hydraulic Ram.

One Of my correspondents says that
he can take the water from a spring
to within a short distance of his house
by natural flow, and then will have
to raise it SO feet. He wants to know
if the pipes SA<uld take the water to
the lowest point before putting in a
ram. He can get a Flow Of 5 or 6
gallons a minute. 1t requires seven
times as muc water to flow through
the ram and be wasted as is pumped
Up. Hence, a flow Of 6 gallons a min
ute would not raise a gallon g minute
to the house. so hat he would get
about 1900 gallons in "a hours. which
would, I presume, be sufficient for all
purposes.
The ram must be in a house tight
enough to protect it from frost in win
ter, or a fire must be run in the house
in very cold weather. But if a stream
is handy where a fall can be had, the
stream may be used to pump the
spring water with a Rife ram. To ele-
Vate so feet for each foot of fall to be
had, in order to deliver 2 IL gallons
A minute, you will need a ram No. 10
with drive pipe / IA inches, and a
delivery pipe Of "a inch. The least
fall to elevate 60 feet must be a
least 6 feet. A double-acting ram of
this size will cost $65. They can be
bad OF various powers up to a cost of
s1.7oo. Hence, to deliver water so
feet height, o will nee only a few
feet fall. But the better the fall the
more rapid the operation. A single
acting ram run by the spring and
pumping the spring water can be
bought for less one than the double
acting ram that is run by a stream to
pump the spring water.
The new book, Rural Hygiene"
Just published by the Macmillan Com
pany. New York, will give full in
structions about rams. This is one Of
he best books on the hygiene of the
farm and family / have ever seen. It
will pay any resident on a farm to
get a copy, for it deals with every
thing pertaining to health on the
farm, and warns against errors, espe-
clally the poisons sold as patent med
lclnes. This book is finely illustrated
and costs $3.50 net 1t fills a place
IN the farmers library that no other
book will.

AT the December meeting Of the
Board of Agriculture there was ap-
propriated $500 for prizes to the boys
of the State who made the most corn

sent to all applicants. Since then
there has been subscribed by manu-

corn. In many counties the numbcr Of
boys entering the confess has been
disappointing. In view Of this. am
going to hold my books open through
the month of June, and will enroll
any boy Of the right age Who sends
in his application. There is yet a fine
opportunity for some boy Who has
not entered to do so and win a PRIZE.
There will be about 500 worth Of
prizes to each Boys Corn Club dis

applications from the third district. as

KEEP A POULTRY RECORD.

One of the greatest needs Of most
poultry keepers is a defnit record Of
expenditures n receipts. IL too few
cases does the owner of a poultry flock
actually know whether his fowls have
been an expense &c him or have PAID a
profit This is perhaps truer in regard
to poultry than with most other
branches Of animal induetry, because
of the facts that both expenditures and
receipts are spread over the entire
year and are individually small, that a
large part of the product is used at

The editor Well says that the South
is awake and the Southern farmers
ate making things hum. Any MAJ
who observed Southern farming only
Nv enty years ago and now goes
through the same country will be sur
prlsed at the advance that has been
made. h farmers are getting to be-
l1eVe in book farming and in educating
their sons for real farming. They are
reading the farm papers, too. Years
ago, when l was editing a Northern
farm paper I urged the owner that
the South was the coming field for
agricultural journalism, and urged
him to work it. He did not, and to-
day we are working it with The Pro-
gTesSive Farmer and are reaching
out into every corner Of the Southland
with three times as many subscrib-
ers as the paper I tried to get to
take the South ever had.
