Fig. XVIIL — A large rain-water barrel fixed five or six feet above 

 the ground level, against the house wall, receiving the whole or part 

 of the roof water. The head of water then enables the use of a hose. 

 A second barrel may be added, the two being coupled by lead piping 

 near the top. Keep the barrels well covered to prevent mosquito 

 breeding. If other water under pressure is available, this supply 

 may be retained or dispensed with according to the wishes of the 

 gardener.
