RURAL WATER SYSTEMS. 



The above is the title of a unique little book on 

 the subject of the Deming Hydraulic Ram, made by 

 the well-known Deming Co., of Salem. Ohio, who 

 manufacture all sorts of pumping machinery. This 



value of a hydraulic ram in the country-house. 

 Methods of installing a water supply for the home 

 are briefly treated, and suggestions offered bearing, 

 on each particular case. Water mav be forced to all 

 parts of the house, the barn, watering-trough, and, 

 if necessary, a supply for operating a honey-extract- 

 or, a washing-machine, or s* wing-machine. Many 

 do not realize the great value of the hydraulic ram 

 where there is a stream of water. It is excessively 

 simple in its operation, so if you want the conven- 

 iences of a water supply just write to the Deming 

 Co.. Salem, Ohio, mentioning GiiBANiNGS. 



booklet is so neatly and attractively gotten up we 

 take the opportunity of illustrating it here. It is 

 only twelve pages all together, and it may be easily 

 read in ten minutes; but it nevertheless conveys a 

 considerable amount of information regarding the 



PRACTICAL DAIRY BACTERIOLOGY. 



This book, by Prof. Conn, of the Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station of Connecticut, is the very latest 

 book on the subject. It is probable that bacteria 

 attack milk quicker than any other medium and it 

 has come to be recognized they play a very impor- 

 tant part in every operation connected with milk 

 production. A crowd of expert bacteriologists are 

 now engaged in studying milk production, with a 

 view to making the work of tae dairymen easier and 

 more scientific, and at the same time protect the 

 consumers from noxious bacteria. One of the most 

 prominent of these bacteriologists, if not the most 

 prominent, is the author of this book. 



Prof. Conn has the rare faculty of supplying his 

 readers with the right kind of knowledge on the 

 subject, without using terms and words which very 

 few can understand. For tbis reason this book can 

 be recommended to all those who are engaged in 

 milk production, no matter how small a scale they 

 work on. 



Even if you have only one cow for family use you 

 ought to know something about this matter. This 

 book shows how long-keeping milk is produced, and 

 also why some milk sours in a very short time. 



We are sure this book is a safe and reliable guide 

 to the whole subject of bacteria in milk. It can be 

 supplied from this office at the publisher's price. 

 $1.26 (cloth), postpaid anywhere.
