The Indian rain- 
maker burned 
“ magic roots ” in 
his little fires and 
beat strange can- 
tatas on the tom- 
tom in an effort 
to coax the rain in 
time oj drought. 
Even the white man tried 
to draw the rain-clouds 
by detonating tons of 
high explosives — but with 
t>cor, uncertain results. 
Steps in the Making of Rain 
W HEN you see the burnt, yellow look creeping into your 
scorched lawn — when your crisp, fresh vegetables start to 
wither under the burning sun — it’s not magic nor costly ex- 
periments you want — it’s rain! 
In the past the garden hose has served its purpose. But now it has 
been superseded by 
intern's of 
ton 
Srrigat 
which are as superior to it in point of certainty and convenience as 
it was to the magic of the Indian or the exploding of powder. 
The CORNELL System for the lawn is 
laid underground and can be installed 
without injury to the turf. The nozzles 
counter-sunk in protecting cups — 
are 
free from clogging dirt — out of sight — 
and out of the way of the lawn- 
mower. 
The CORNELL System for flower and 
vegetable gardens is also laid under- 
ground with the sprays extending to any 
desired height overhead. By turning a 
valve you can give your lawn or garden 
any quantity of water — any time. 
Both lawn and garden systems are 
equipped with the CORNELL Rain- 
cloud Nozzles which refresh the thirsty 
plants with any degree of moisture from 
a heavy April shower to a fine cloud of 
drifting mist. Not too much — not too 
little— JUST ENOUGH. And just 
enough means better, bigger vegetables; 
finer, greener lawns. 
Write to us to-day for our booklet 
which illustrates and describes this 
simple, sure and economical method of 
having Rain When You Want It.
