Gentlemen: — When we I -ought your 

 little "FARM PUMP ENGINE" on 

 the strength of your ads, we thought 

 we had it up a tree, and when it got 

 here, we were sure of it. They all said 

 so, but today it is pumping water 

 through 1,200 feet of i%-inch pipe to 

 an elevation of 100 feet and supplying 8 

 greenhouses, 20 head of stock, 2 pack- 

 ing cellars, 4 closets and 4 families. 

 And we have one windmill for sale. 



For its class it is the best designed 

 engine we have seen. Yours trulv.

Full Fire Protection, Instantly Available! 



This powerful little pump engine is an Emergency Fire Department. Throws a big stream of 

 water higher than a house, or 60 feet on the level. Absolutely Indispensable to the safety of a country home! 



Saved one of San Francisco's fine homes from destruction by fire just a short time a~'o. As a fire protection alone, the engine is well worth its 

 price. Yet this is only one of its multiplied uses. Can be furnished especially equipped as a Spraying Outfit, Bilge Pump, etc. 



Runs All Kinds of Hand-Power or Foot-Power Machines 



The Farm Pump Iingine meets the widespread demand for cheap Portable Power for running light machinery' used on farms or country estates. 

 Takes the place of muscle-power. Saves three men's wages every day it runsl Operates fanning mills, cream separators, churns, washing 

 machines, feed grinders, jig saws, drag saws, small lathes, grindstones, clipping machines, small printing presses, polishing wheels, etc. 



don't hill too deeply. Judgment is necessary, as 

 no hard rule can be fixed, the depth varying with 

 the season, and kind of vegetable. Beans, peas, 

 and corn are usually hilled about the same height, 

 four inches; this should be done early as it pre- 

 vents them from blowing over. Leek and celery 

 should be hilled as they grow. I usually hill okra, 

 as it is brittle and breaks very easily. Potatoes 

 should not be hilled too early, the proper time is 

 when the flowers appear. I advise hilling cauli- 



Plant lettuce in a shaded place, such as the north 

 side of a hedge 



flower and cabbage up to the bottom leaves, if they 

 were not planted in drills as suggested last month. 

 This is not because there is any danger of them 

 blowing over, but to keep the roots farther from 

 the heat and drought. 



Some of the early sown peas must now be brushed, 

 but never do this until after they have been 

 hilled; and in placing the brush be sure to always 

 slant it. This gives the vines a better chance to get 

 a good hold as they can climb on several sticks in 

 place of one. 



THINNING OUT 



The thinning out of crops such as beets, carrots, 

 etc., must be done when the plants are very small. 

 Go over a row, and pull out the plants between 



A result of good cultivation. Lima beans planted 

 in hills four feet apart 



the two points which are to be covered. If you 

 happen to leave two or three in a clump it will not 

 matter very much as they can be thinned again 

 later on in the season. 



Approved distances for thinning the plants are as 

 follows: 



Beans, 6 inches apart. 

 Beets, 3 inches apart. 

 Corn, 3 inches apart, by hill 



8 inches in row. 

 Carrol, 3 inches apart. 

 Koh'rabi, 6 inches apart. 

 Leek, 6 inches apart. 

 New York. 



Lettuce, 1 foot apart. 

 Okra, 8 inches apart. 

 Onions, 3 inches apart. 

 Parsnips, 6 inches apart. 

 Salsify, 6 inches apart. 

 Turnip, 6 inches apart.
