PRACTICAL BOOK OF GARDEN ARCHITECTURE 



adequate supply of water to the highest rooms of 

 the house will be readily solved. It is especially ad- 

 vantageous when the artesian well from which the 

 windmill pumps the water is situated on an elevated 

 point, and the well is driven through the rocky soil 

 to a good depth. With this assurance of good pure 

 water, ou't of reach of contamination from surface 

 drainage, and with the elevated position of wind- 

 mill and tank, there will be little danger of an insuf- 

 ficient supply. The use of large round pipes, of short 

 length, and of as few bends as possible, will insure 

 a generous flow-to the highest points to be supplied. 



Close attention to seemingly insignificant details, 

 during the process of tank construction and piping, 

 will provide for many years of solid comfort in the 

 enjoyment of an adequate water supply, when wind 

 power is to be depended upon. The decorative form 

 of the structure, and the use of its different en- 

 closures, may be varied according to its locality and 

 the artistic ingenuity of the owner.
