WATER TOWERS AND GARDEN DENS 



THE WATER SUPPLY OF THE COUNTRY HOME 



MAY PROVE AN INSPIRATION AS WELL AS AN 



ESSENTIAL 



THE storage reservoir, and the gasoline engine or 

 hydraulic ram, or other practical means of supply- 

 ing plentiful water for kitchen and bath and grounds 

 of the big estate or the modest country home, may 

 all be made to contribute to the decorative and archi- 

 tectural effect of the place by means of attractive 

 water towers. Occasionally one finds a fac-simile 

 of the poetic old oaken bucket on modern estates. 

 The ancient appearing well-curb, the genuine old 

 oaken bucket, worked by the typical old-time rope 

 and weighted pole, may preserve all the romance of 

 the original farm home of long ago. It may even 

 form a useful purpose ; and the quaint " well- sweep" 

 may include a well of good clear spring water ; but 

 it will naturally be constructed in this form for ro- 

 mantic beauty, for calling up delightful memories, 

 or for mere show. In these practical days of in- 

 expensive engineering it will not be expected to con- 

 tribute greatly to the water supply of the home, the 

 gardens and the live stock.
