ARE YOUR RESERVOIRS 

 AND DITCHES READY 



For This Season's Irrigating? 



Now, while you have the time and before irrigating 

 Degins, you should examine the headgates in your reser- 

 i-oir and on your ditches, and get them in shape for the 

 year. Don't wait until your are busy getting in your 

 'rops, and the water has been turned into the ditches, 

 tf your gates need repairing or replacing, it would pay 

 vou to investigate NORTHWESTERN IRON HEAD- 

 GATES before putting in any more wooden gates. 

 What you have already spent for repairs on your 

 ivoodeh gate and what you will have to spend this year, 

 would more than pay for my iron gate. 



The headgate is really the key to your water supply. 

 <nd it doesn't pay to take chances, on a wooden gate 

 Breaking or washing out. Wooden gates have a habtt 

 3f breaking just when you most need the water, as well 

 is when you can least spare the time to fix the break. 

 You naturally want to make your water supply go as 

 far as possible, and for this reason you cannot afford 

 to have a leakv gate or one that may break, or which 

 takes much time to regulate. 



The NORTHWESTERN line includes gates for all 

 purposes from the small lateral ditch to the large reser- 

 voir, and you will find one that is particularly adapted 

 to your purpose. NORTHWESTERN gates are made 

 for connecting to all kinds of pipe; for boltine to 

 wooden boxes; or for setting in masonry. 



One of the advantages of NORTHWESTERN gates 

 is that they are complete in themselves and, therefore, 

 can be easily put in by anyone. Once set up they will 

 last a lifetime without any repairs. All bearings be- 

 ine planed and ground to an absolutely water-tight 

 joint, the gates cannot leak. The screws having 



square, lathe-cut threads, the gates can be very easily 

 and quickly operated and regulated, and cannot stick. 



Ditch companies appreciate the value of the new, 

 patented locking devices on NORTHWESTERN gates. 

 By means of this device the gates can be so adjusted 

 and locked that there will be delivered only the amount 

 of water the consumer is entitled to. At the same time 

 the consumer may, if he desires, reduce the flow or 

 shut it off completely. It can also be locked so that 

 the gate cannot be moved at all. 



NORTHWESTERN neadgates have now been on the 

 market six years and better gates cannot be made for 

 the price. The first cost of an iron headgate is not 

 the only thing to consider. The cheapest gate is the 

 one that lasts the longest. 



The best way to prove that my gate is the best is 

 to compare it with other gates. I am glad to send my 

 Kate to anyone for examination, and the other manu- 

 facturers must do the same or else admit that NORTH- 

 N ^Rtrs are the be;st. A' trial will show you 

 that my gates possess every feature required by a prac- 

 tical irriRator, and many advantages not to be found 

 in any other gate. 



Send for my catalogue and get my price on a gate 

 particularly adapted to your requirements.
