A PUMP ENGINE THAT OUT-

 ANY HAND POWER MACHINE I 



Why use a hand pump or wind mill ? The former 

 is slow, very tiring and expensive, and the latter s 

 quite dependent upon wind, and consequen ly often 

 very troublesome. There is a little engine far sup- 

 erior to both and it is quickly replacing them ad 

 over the State ; it's the

FARM PUMP ENGINE 



w ich will pump 500 gallons per hour from 

 we Is up to 300 feet deep and requires abso- 

 lu ely no attention. The engine is delivered 

 all ready for working ; you just attach it to 

 the pump stork, start it, a d leave it. It re- 

 puires no special platform, belts, anchor- 

 pet , etc. Remen er, too, that it will work 

 on any hand pump. If not wanted for the 

 pump, just take along to the churn, > eparator 

 or other Hgl t machine and attach the pulley 

 provided ; or you can use i- for watering gar- 

 dens, spraying, etc.,— throws a column of 

 wa er 60 ft. high. 



It costs only Id. 

 per hour to run. 



It is, undoubtedly, the handiest 

 farm engine known and construct- 

 ed so that it can be easily operated 

 by those who have no experience 

 of engines ; it runs without flame, 

 smoke or smell, needs no attent- 

 ion, and is as near troublr-and- 

 accident-proof as an engine could 

 be.

ther up is not an observance of 

 economy, it is waste of food and a 

 danj^er to thei health of the swine. 



All }>'rains and feed products of 

 all kimls that are produced on. the 

 farm or brought on to the fann as 

 commercial feeds have a Iced value 

 and should be turned to some ac- 

 count in maintaining the " farm 

 stock. The economy of feed and 

 feed products on the farm is the 

 great source oi prolit in iarming. It 

 matters not how much is produced 

 on the farm, if it is not harvested 

 and properly taken car© of to save 

 it from loss and damage the farm 

 industry will suffer and farming 

 will be pronounced a failure on 

 such farms. 



The economical management of 

 what is produced on the farm has 

 as great a bearing on profit as 

 the growing of the crop. The study 

 of live stock requirements is a ne- 

 cessity. iCvery farmer and hand- 

 ler of live stock should know, as 

 nearly as can be, what the require- 

 ments are of the animals he feeds. 

 This can only be had by instruc- 

 tion and practical work. 



During tfie gra/.nig season it is 

 an easy matter to handle stocK ; 

 give them the run of the pas cure 

 where they can get plenty of good, 

 pure water and a fill ol grass, and 

 they will do well. But when the 

 pasture is gone, then a ditlerent 

 programme is on. The pasture 

 must be replaced by a substitute 

 of prepared feed of some kind; hey, 

 fodder, straw, and other forage 

 crops will serve to take the place 

 of the pasture if given in liberal 

 quantities. Here is where a know- 

 ledge of feeds is required in order 

 to keep the flesh that th.e animals 

 laid on during the time of natural 

 feeding from being wasted away 

 during the dry season. 



It is foUy of the worst kind to 

 starve off during the dry months 

 the flesh that has been put on dur- 

 ing the grass season. Yet this ex- 

 travagant practice is common. 



It matters not what plan is 

 adopted, but that which resiilts in 

 the starving off of flesh is poor 

 economy from a feed standpoint. 

 It has been ascertained that the 

 greatest profit in live stock grow- 

 ing is in the rapid development of 

 the animal ; the more rapidly th.e 

 young thing is pushed forward in- 

 to a fully-matured beast the great- 

 er the profit. It would be folly 

 to attempt to disprove this state- 

 ment so well grounded has been the 

 ewdence in its support. 



It is economic feeding to give all 

 animals liberally of such feeds as 

 are available. It is economy to 

 sell suich stock as cannot be fully
