Own a Private Water Supply Plant 



A PRIVATE water supply system in your country or city lioiiie is surely very desirable. With a system of t',,o 

 right construction, you may have an ahumlant supply of water delivered under strong pressure during all seasons, 

 —day and night. In your country home, you may have a water supply equal to that offered by any city water system, 

 including complete plumbing equipmeiU in tiie house, 

 stable hydrants, and barn and garden connections, 

 fi This same private service may be had in the city, — 

 where the city water pressure is inadequate, where the 

 water is of an undesirable quality and where the water 

 taxes are exorbitant. 



A satisfactory water supply Is assured and absolutely 

 guaranteetl, if you install 



The Kewanee 

 Water System 



Tlie main featiue of the Kewanee Svsteni is the 

 Kewanee Pneumatic Tank. This is an air tight, 

 steel tank which is placeil in the cellar and buried 

 in the ground. Water from the well, cistern 

 or other source is pumped into this tank. Pump- 

 ing the water creates air pressure which deliv- 

 ers the water to the various points of delivery. 



The Kewanee Pneumatic Tank replaces 

 the elevated tank, which is unsightly and 

 dangerous. It does away with the attic tank, 

 which freezes, leaks and is inisatisfactory. 



Over five thousand Kewanee Outfits in 

 successful operation 



Engineering scrxice to solve your water 



problem is free; and we will guarantee your 



Kewanee Outfit to give absolute satisfaction.

T. BYARD COLLINS

 Price, $2.00, P ostpaid 



HIS new and valuable work sets forth the changes which 

 have taken place in American agricultural methods which 

 are transforming farm life, formerly so hard, into the most 

 independent, peaceful and agreeable existence. Farm life 

 to-day offers more intiucements than at any previous period 

 in the world's history, and it is calling millions from the 

 desk. The present work is one of the most practical treatises on the 

 subject ever issued. It contains 376 pages and 100 illustrations. 



In brief, the Contents are as follows 



CHAPTER I. This chapter contains a general statement of the advantages of farm life. 



CHAPTER II. Deals with the vast systems of irrigation which are transforming the great 

 West, and also hints at an application of water by artificial means in sections of the country 

 where irrigation has not hitherto been found necessary. 



CHAPTER III. Gives the principles and importance of fertilization and the possibility of inocu- 

 lating the soil by means of nitrogen-gathering bacteria. 



CHAPTER IV. Deals with the popular awakening to the importance of canals and good roads, 

 and their relation to economy and social well-being. 



CHAPTER V. Tells of some new interests which promise a profit. 



CHAPTER VI. Gives a description of some new human creations in the plant world. 



CHAPTER VII. Deals with new varieties of grain, root and fruit, and the principles upon which 

 these modifications are effected and the possibilities which they indicate. 



CHAPTER VIII. Describes improper methods in agricultural practice. 



CHAPTER IX. Devoted to new machinery by which the drudgery of life on the farm is being 

 eliminated, making the farm a factory and the farmer the manager of it. 



CHAPTER X, Shows the relation of a body of specialists to the American farmer, who can have 

 the most expert advice upon every phase of his work without any expense whatever to himself.
