WINDMir.L IRRICATION. 4o7 



COST Ol- WINDMILL AM) I'UMI'. 



The cost of irri^atiiit;- outfits should be exceedingly small. If any 

 one asks you more than $-."> for the best 8-foot "^-alvanized steel 

 wheel, he is askin"^ you too much; better send rig-ht to the factory 

 and buy it yourself. Of course you will have to pay in addition to 

 these prices, freij^ht from Chicago, cost of the tower and erecting 

 the outfit; but these prices buy the best thing there is made in the 

 way of a steel wheel. Add to this the cost of a pump such as is 

 described above, $1") for pump for an 8-foot wheel. Of course, you 

 will have to pay freight on the pump also, but the best pump can be 

 had for these prices, and the best sleel wheel can be had at these 

 prices; and if your local dealer will not furnish them at these prices, 

 write to the factory direct. It is all you should paj% besides freight 

 and the cost of erecting. Bear in mind that we do not believe in 

 large plants; we believe in small ones and more of them.

KEEPlXd Tomatoes.— Prof. Massey, of the North Carolina Hxperi- 

 ment Station, writes the Garden and Forest that when frost is immi- 

 nent he gathers the green tomatoes, wraps them separately in paper 

 (old newspapers will answer) and packs them in boxes, which are 

 stored in a place just warm enough to be secure from frost, the ob- 

 ject being to keep them and not to ripen them. Then, as the fruits 

 are wanted, a few of them are brought out at a time and placed iu a 

 warm position, where they will ripen in a few days. In this way he 

 has kept his table supplied with sliced tomatoes up to midwinter.
