THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



23 



THE "penny wise and pound foolish" policy has an apt illustration in the man who buys a 

 cheap gas or gasoline engine; Unreliable service, frequent and expensive repairs, 

 wastefulness in fuel and short life, offset many times over the small saving in first cost. The 

 "OTTO" is the original and best. Suppose it does cost a little more money, the extra dollars 

 are well invested. 70,000 users throughout the civilized world support us in this claim.

The Shuart Earth Grader No. 3 



An ideal, all-round Grader for 

 Irrigators. This Machine, rapidly 

 and cheaply, does a quality ol 

 grading possible with ordinary 

 appliances only at a virtually pro- 

 hibitory expense. The blade 

 can be worked straight across 

 for cutting, conveying and 

 spreading the earth ; or it 

 can be worked diagonally 

 for throwing up borders ; 

 and it can be tilted for run- 

 ninglaterals. Forillustrated 

 circular and price, address

We have furnished a large 

 number of centrifugal pumps, 

 both belt driven and direct 

 connected, for use in irriga- 

 tion. Where water is drawn 

 from wells our vertical pump 

 is used with splendid success. 



We also build our pumps 

 direct connected to engines, 

 which have been found ex- 

 ceedingly useful where the lift 

 of water does not exceed 20 

 feet. Our line consists of the 

 various types and sizes from 

 1% in. to 12 in., inclusive. 



Our dredging or sand 

 pumps have been found very 

 successful in the dredging of 

 canals; a large number of 

 these outfits having been used 

 in Colorado.
