from the opposite hillside, came the
pure sound of the bell, singularly in

The sound turned her thoughts
again to Bruce Landor, who had
scarcely been out of her mind dur

their meeting at Hector Cardigan's,
when she had gone to fetch home the
bell, and of her telling him about
Hector's conceit concerning it.

Opportunities Offered
In Homemade Equipment

Homemade equipment is only for
persons who have ideas of their
own. A farmer usually sees a
neighbor's wagon, inspects it, and
goes home to build one for himself.
or lets his son do it.
Also, say engineers at the New
York State College of Agriculture,
rubber-tired tractors have con-
vinced farmers of the practicability
OF rubber-mounted equipment.
In their opinion, a start toward
bringing all the equipment up-to-
date is the farm wagon which can
be made easily and will cost about
$35, without box or rack. Auto run
ming gear, preferably with 6O0-16
tires, lends itself to easy tire re-
placement when the wagon is heavi-
ly loaded.
The advantages of tires are lost it
is said, with more than Is pounds
pressure in them. Used tires are
satisfactory if the wagon is used
on the farm and not behind truck
or car on the highway. If used on
the road as trailer, New York
state law requires that it be
equipped with brakes, lights, and
license.
Ensilage carts that push easily
over litter and other distractions
may be made at cost of from $40
to $25 for material and labor, &C.
cording to the engineers. A sturdy
handy cart for carrying milk cans
may be made from old auto wheels,
he says.

SUGGESTS ELECTRIC
FARM WATERWORKS
North Carolina System
Costs About $500.
BY RUSSELL BRoADDUS,

BY RUSSELL BROADDUS,
A water system can be installed
in the farm home for as little as
500 with the advent of rural cleo
trifica alton throughout the United
States.
New opportunities for installing
labor and time-saving equipment
are offered farm, people at a price
they can afford to pay. the North
Carolina State college has found.
The first essential in a water sys-
tenn is a good. clean, wholesome
supply in quantity sufficient for the
farm and home needs A we'll should
be located at least SO feet from any
possible source of contamination.
To keep a water supply clean and
free from harmful bacteria, the well
should have rock masonry, brick
or terra Gotta walls from bottom to
top. In many cases driven or bored
wells with iron castings are quite
satisfactory. All wells should have
tight, properly-made concrete plat
forms to keep out surface water.
An electric water system will pro-
vide 1000 gallons of water per hour
for three cents when the electric
rate is six cents kilowatt hour. In
many cases the small amount of
electric current used to pump water
will not increase the monthly bill
above the minimum charge.
The college recommends that the
farm family first install an outlet
to the kitchen sink and another
to the barn for watering live stock.
He says this can be done for approx
imately $100. The system can be en-
larged as finances permit.
The average farm laborer earns
from 20 to 80 cents an hour for his
work. Why then should the farm
er's family work carrying water at
the rate of one-half cent per hour?
