THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



Rather Plain. 



The pastor of a certain church on 

 leaving his study, which is in the 

 rear of the church, one day saw a 

 little girl friend of his talking to a 

 stranger. "What was that man 

 saying to you Madge?" he asked as 

 he came up to her. "Oh," said 

 she, "he was asking if Dr. C 

 was the preacher of this church. I 

 told him you were the present en- 

 cumbrance!" 



THE LATEST IMPROVED HYDRAULIC 

 RAM. 



The use of a ram instead of a windmill 

 for elevating water in country places is 

 made thoroughly practical by the success- 

 ful device known as the Rife Hydraulic 

 Fngine, advertisement of which appears 

 elsewhere in this issue. It possesses im- 

 provements of proven merit, is not de- 

 pendent on wind or weather for its 

 operation; is simple and strong. The 

 manufacturers claim to elevate water 

 thirty feet for every foot of fall in the 

 drive head. The machine is built in 

 capacities as high as one hundred and 

 seventy-five thousand gallons per day, and 

 an efficiency of 82 per cent, is claimed. 

 To obtain complete information of this 

 wonderful mechanism our readers are in- 

 vited to write for descriptive and illus- 

 trated circulars to Rife Hydraulic Engine 

 Co. , New York City.
