WATER POWER AND ELECTRIC 

 PLANT. 



POULTRY RAISING. 



The accompanying cut illustrates a 

 special water power plant constructed by 

 The Stilwell-Bierce & Srnith-Vaile Co., 

 Dayton, Ohio, for the Consolidated Canal 

 Company, Mesa, Arizona. The water is 

 taken from the Salt river and carried by 

 48-inch feed pipe across the Utah canal to 

 a pair of 21-inch cylinder gate Victor Tur- 

 bines on horizontal shaft, developing 400 

 h. p. under 40 feet head. One end of 

 shaft is connected by friction clutch to a 

 200 h. p. dynamo which furnishes light 

 and power for the town of Mesa, Arizona. 

 The other end of the shaft is connected to 

 a pumping plant for irrigating purposes. 

 This novel plant is suggestive of further 

 possibilities in this line. 



The raising of poultry for profit has long 

 since passed the point where chance was a 

 prime element. In these days the success- 

 ful man or woman is the one who is will- 

 ing to adopt improved methods. The old 

 "Biddy," hen, has given way to the incu- 

 bator, which can hatch a hundred or more 

 eggs as easily as a dozen. The Reliable 

 incubator has been on the market for many 

 years, and each succeeding year has seen 

 it improved in every particular. It gives 

 satisfaction wherever used, because it ful- 

 fills all the claims that are made for it. 



The manufacturers of these incubators 

 have recently issued a large and handsome 

 catalogue, which, in addition to a full de- 

 scription of the incubators, gives much 

 valuable information in regard to poultry
