The Power Behind 

 the Windmill 



If you could open the door and look within 

 the tower or structure, which supports many a 

 windmill, you would find the little inconspicu- 

 ous machine, shown in the picture, which 

 works independent of wind or weather. Be- 

 ^«~"j ,t* cause it is always dependable, it is preferred 

 by every user of water, who has been through 

 a "wind-mill experience." [If the owners of 

 wind power find it necessary to supplement 

 their mills by installing a 



Hot Air Pump 



is it not therefore wise to profit byj 4 their ex- 

 perience, and before going to the expenseTof 

 erecting an elaborate tower or a cheap and un- 

 sightly structure, to investigate, first, the 

 merits of the Hot Air Pump? It is a 

 machine of low power, which cannot ex- 

 plode, so simple in construction as to be 

 one of the wonders of the Twentieth 

 Century, so easy of operation that any 

 child can start or stop it, as required. 



Practically automatic, the cost of maintenance 

 is almost nil : Capacity ioo to 100,000 gallons of 

 water per diem. One of these pumps, repre- 

 senting a permanent investment which will out- 

 last a generation, can now be bought at the 



very low price of $108. Descriptive catalogue "U" sent free on

 can put potatoes on straw on your cellar 

 floor, covering them first with straw, and 

 heaping up earth over them. 



VARIETIES THAT STAND YOB. QUALITY 



The earliest variety of all is from Bermuda, 

 "Triumph," and there is another good one, 

 "Ashleaf Kidney." These are both waxy, 

 in fact, the early ones nearly always are, as 

 they are not grown to maturity. 



If you want another and later w r axy potato, 

 try Magnum Bonum. 



The following are all good varieties for 

 home culture, that will be mealy when 

 properly cooked. 



Among the best floury varieties, when 

 cooked, are these: 



For early, Early Rose, Early Irish Cobbler, 

 Early Puritan, Bovee. 



For the main crop try any of the following : 

 Rural New Yorker, Green Mountain, Sir 

 Walter Raleigh, New White Peachblow, and 

 Noroton Beauty, a new variety introduced 

 only last year. 



For late planting use Uncle Sam, Carman 

 No. 3, State of Maine, New White Peach- 

 blow. 



For waxy potatoes for salads the earliest 

 of all, from Bermuda, Triumph is a good 

 one, and for the main crop, Magnum Bonum. 



For long keeping purposes either late cr 

 main crop potatoes can be used. Some that 

 may be recommended are: Uncle Sam, late 

 Puritan, Carman No. 3, Green Mountain, 

 Rural New Yorker.

The Californian' Reminder 



spring 



APRIL is the last month for 

 planting. 



Plant out caladiums, cannas, dahlias, and 

 tropical bedding plants. April-planted gla- 

 dioli usually give best flowers. 



Propagate chrysanthemums from cuttings. 



Don't forget some more sweet peas. 



Put in bulbs of tigridias and tuberoses. 



Don't wait longer for the planting out of 

 egg-plant, pepper and tomato plants. 



This is the best month to put out sweet 

 potato plants; don't let the roots dry out 

 during transplanting. 



You may still plant the following vegetables : 



Plants: Cabbage, cauliflower, horseradish, 

 onion (sets), potato and rhubarb. 



Seeds : Asparagus, beet, bean, cabbage 

 (late), carrot, cauliflower, corn (sweet), 

 cucumber, lettuce, melon (musk and "water), 

 onion, parsnip, pea, pumpkin, tomato and 

 turnip. 1
