RUNNING WATER FOR FARM BUILDINGS 437 



larger tank with this system than with the others so there will 

 be a reserve supply in the tank to tide over days in which there 

 is not sufficient breeze to operate the mill. 



The power pump driven by a gasoline or kerosene engine, 

 electric motor or w^ater wheel is an ideal equipment where run- 

 ning water is needed in any quantity for the house, barn, trough, 

 etc. It eliminates the manual labor and is independent of 

 weather conditions; water can be pumped whenever it is desired. 

 The expenses for gasoline or other fuel is very small ; while the 

 engine can be made portable and used to great advantage for 

 grinding feed, sawing wood, winnowing grain, separating cream 

 or other work about the farm.

to an elevation many times as high as the fall to operate the 

 ram. The simplicity, effectiveness and durability of this 

 machine make it one of the most useful as well as the most 

 economical of the equipments available for forcing water to 

 distant and elevated points. 



A very slight fall only is required to operate the ram, but as the 

 amount of fall is increased its operation becomes more powerful, 

 and it will force the water in a proportionately larger flow or to a 

 proportionately higher elevation. The amount of water deliv- 

 ered, or the proportion of the water raised to the amount wasted
