all conditions; and very high in efficiency, the same being 

 from 40 per cent to 60 per cent greater than can possibly 

 be attained by any other machine, or any two machines, 

 such as a water motor and pump combined. The sim- 

 plicity of construction is an absolutely essential feature in 

 cases where the user is not an experienced mechanic; also 

 the noiselessness of operation. 



The uses of a hydraulic ram are various. The vast 



Costly ditches, carried over miles of country, with their 

 attendant inconveniences, arising from rights of way, 

 cost of maintenance, conflicting claims, and other difficul- 

 ties, can be dispensed with. 



Wherever there is water flowing and a fall of two feet 

 or more can be secured by ditching, damming or the 

 like, the adjacent country can be converted into highly 

 productive farms. 



The Humphreys Manufacturing Company of Mans- 

 field, Ohio, has recently published a booklet, entitled "Do- 

 mestic Water Supplies," which embraces hydraulic rams 

 and pneumatic water supply systems, with tables and in- 

 formation in detail concerning their various forms and 

 uses. Among the many comforts which have stimulated 

 interest in farm life, are the adequate and improved 

 domestic water supply systems which have recently been 

 perfected. At the present moment the isolated home, 

 by the use of a water system, can be made as comfortable 

 as a city residence, connected with a highly improved city 

 water system. It is entirely practicable for the farmer 

 to enjoy the most complete sanitary appliances, and a 

 complete bath room equipment connected to a heating 

 apparatus.

field of irrigation is commanded by this machine. It will 

 utilize nature's forces in a faithful manner, working day 

 and night in hot and cold weather, without any atten- 

 tion bestowed upon it, and with no cost of maintenance 

 or of operation, and can scarcely be appreciated. Irri- 

 gation by this simple means, will greatly increase the 

 possibilities of farming on arid and semi-arid lands here- 

 tofore dependent upon the government or corporations. 



"Our trade is rushing," said a representative of F. E. 

 Myers & Bro., recently in speaking of business condi- 

 tions at the factory in Ashland, Ohio. "During the late 

 financial stringency our factory operated at full force and 

 on full time. Our output since last harvest exceeds that 

 of any other year." 



In pursuance of its aggressive policy to build up its 

 trade throughout the United States, Myers & Bro. have 

 recently issued a new pump, hay-tool and easy door hanger 

 catalog to which there is no superior on the market. 

 This catalog, known as No. 47, contains much interest- 

 ing information about the goods handled by the company 

 and is of particular value to owners of western irrigated 

 lands, who are interested in water lifting or pumping ma- 

 chinery.
