BENEFITS OF
FARM WINDMILL
In Some Respects It Serves as
Hired NJ Man-A6ords Fresh
Water for the Live Stock
Day and Night.
CBy F. H. HATLEY. Kentucky.)

~
! use my windmill to a great ad-
vantage on my farm. In some respects
it serves as a hired hand. When l
purchased my windmill l secured two
pieces of timber, nine feet long, five
inches thick and eight inches wide.
l placed the legs of the windmill on
the two pieces of timber which has
a bevel on the bottom like sled run.
ner. firmly screwed the legs to the
timbers and nailed braces across from
one to the other making 1t steady.
Then 1t was ready to move from place
to place by means of a pair of horses.
In the summer months when 1t is
hot and dry l hook onto my windmill
and take it to the pasture and con
meet 1t with the pump keeping fresh
water for the stock day and night.
save the labor of doing the pumping
myself which before, took me about
two hours twice a day and my stock
enjoyed two good drinks day. Now
they enjoy cool, fresh drink at all
times through the day
have a pen around my windmill
and pump to keep my stock from dam
aging either. My watering trough is
made from gum lumber IS feet long
and IA inches wide, " inches thick
and is IS feet long, rs inches wide and
IA inches deep.
have a rubber hose to fit over the
mouth of the pump which is five feet
long and leads to the trough and at
the end of my trough | have an inch
and three-quarters iron pipe that inter
sects it about one inch from the top.
1t comes straight down to the ground
with an elbow allowing 1t to go along
on the ground to a ditch.
My pipe is three inches under the
ground from being mashed by the
larger animals.
When the summer is over and 1t
begins to rain l hook up to my wind
mill and bring it to the house, which
requires but short while. connect it
to my pump at the house to use in
pumping water for my stoch after
bring them into winter quarters and
also for the use of watering the house.
! have a rubber hose IA feet long
which | use in washing off my buggy
and wagon. also use 1t for washing
my horses feet and legs as the wind
mill forces powerful and effective
stream.
By means of the patent self-locking
and unlocking method | can stand on
the ground and stop or start my wind
mill by pulling the cord which hangs
down beside the frame. My windmill
cost me s54 but good mill can be
purchased for $27.50 and up.
Counting the three months that I
keep my stock in the pasture and
three hours work per day at 10 cents
per hour which is the minimum wages
for farm hands, the windmill will save
S27-half the price of the MILL while
it would cost me that amount if | did
not have it for a hand to pump water
for the stock.
There are several other advantages
that the windmill' is to the farm 1t
can be attached to the grindstone, the
c-eam separator, churn, etc, making
l. one of the most useful implements
on the farm.

The hog house floor is an unsettled
with woven wire stretched on top to
prevent the hogs from roofing. Elec-
trically welded corncrib wire is very
satisfactory. This makes floor which
is easy on the hogs, almost free from
rats, and, If properly bedded. warm
and dry. 1t Is. however. more difficult
to keep free from dust than some
other floors. Many concrete floors are
used. but they are cold, liable to be
wet, and are hard on the hogs feet
Often almost an entire pig crop and
many sows are lost by taking cold on
concrete floors. Concrete floors are,
however, very satisfactory when cov-
cred with plank overlays, or false
floors, which should be raised from
the concrete about an inch by mailing
cleats on the under side. The wood
portion of this floor consists of by 4
inch timbers laid about one-fourth
inch apart to allow drainage
Board floors are expensive, short
lived, cold II up off the ground, and
make the worst kind of rat harbors.
The writer once visited an old hog
house with wood floor in which, the
owner said the rats had gotten over
half the pigs. Several men report
that rats may be kept out by packing
sand or cinders to the top of the joists
before laying the floor. but these
materials are often too expensive to
be used for this purpose.
In making the inside partitions, care
should always be taken to have them
perfectly tight at the floor and for
about 10 to ~ inches above, SO that
young pigs cannot crawl through, and
SO sows in the adjoining pens cannot
get hold of them and pull them
through. A SOW will often pull newly
born pig through under a partition
and eat it. when. If the pig was in
the pen with her, 1t would be perfectly
safe. Above the first 10 or 12 inches

Pig rails or guard rails should be
placed on the inside of the pen, from

The money was handed over
