A Fruit Cooler Building 
I send a .sketch of my fruit cooler 
building. We cool by allowing west 
v’ind to blow through cellar, and up 
through ventilators on wagon-house floor, 
facing east. We heat by closing ventil¬ 
ators and using oil stoves. Wo usually 
maintain a temperature around 28 de¬ 
grees. This would be a very expensive 
building to erect nowadays. The timbers 
are very heavy, and sub-cellars or cooler 
rooms are all brick, no insulation, etc. 
Our coolers are something like 15 feet 
high. Can tier four rows of barrels. 
AVagon house floor, 15 feet; living rooms, 
between 8 and 30, and attic above.

Pulling Pipe from Well 
I took cylinder out of a well 1.35 feet 
deep, four-inch casing, 134 -inch pipe and 
three-inch cylinders. A leak about half 
way down had let in a lot of earth and 
gravel, so that it could not be used. I 
generator is one-half kilowatt. The water 
is carried out of wheel pit through 40 
feet of 12-inch pipe, out into a down 
stream. When the water is nearly high 
enough to run in the wheel pit the speed 
of stream pulls and does not back water 
under the wheel to stop it. The line is 
360 yards from plant to the house and 
about 400 to the barn. AYe have the third 
wire and have the bolt meter and rheo¬ 
stat in small room joining living room. 
We use altogether ,33 lights. All are 40 
watt except one 60, one 20 and one 75. 
We now control the raising and lower¬ 
ing of water gate from a windlass at the 
house. A single wire connects from same 
to a grooved wheel on head gate. We 
wind it up and a counterweight of about 
50 pounds carries it down. We have a 
wire with a hinged hook to hold the wind¬ 
lass handle when gate is raised. A loop 
holds the hook together as the handle 
pulls. On the end of loop a fine wire 
runs to upstairs window. An ordinary 
fine cord is fastened to the wire. A very 
light pull slips the loop and the hook 
could not start it up or out with a .small 
derrick gear set of pulleys and %-iuch 
rope. I secured another piece of pipe, 
made a pair of wooden clamps of hard 
dry ash plank (used rosin so that they 
would not slip) ; then I built a solid 
pillar of timber about three feet high by 
the side of the pipe. Then I took a 
stick of timber 6x6, 16 feet long, for a 
lever and cut a slot in the end about one 
foot deep for the pipe to pass through 
and allow the lever to get a sure hold 
under the clamps. I used a piece of 
I’/i-inch pipe for a fulcrum, cutting a 
small notch in lever and having it well 
fastened to the pillar, so that it could 
not get out^of place. Then I placed the 
lever about level, fastened on the clamps, 
then by raising the lever and letting 
it drop I took it out. It Avas slow Avork, 
and I have forgotten how many days I 
woi'ked at it. Now who can tell me 
hoAA’ to stop that leak? N. W. B.

That Farm Power Electric Plant 
I Avould like to state a few facts to 
supplement II. M.’s description of our 
electric light from small Avater power, 
page 611. I am noAV in my seventy-seventh 
year. My Aveak point has always been 
for machinery. I have owned and have 
nGAA*, more than I care to enumerate. I 
saw I had a small Avater power, and it 
was up to me to demonstrate. I bought 
the second-hand electric outfit as II. M. 
describes, Nov. 15. The dam is built on 
a solid ledge of rock; concrete 22 inches 
high; iron reinforced. The water is car¬ 
ried 64 feet to the Avheel through a wood 
pipe eight inches diameter—to iron fore¬ 
bay. The wheel is feet in diameter, 
18 inches Avide; master cog wheel, five feet 
diameter, drives spur jack 16 inches diam¬ 
eter. Belt Avheel 38 inches diameter; 
pulley on generator four inches diameter; 
speed 850 revolutions per minute. The 
flie.s o])en. This part of plant works 
like a charm and ueA’er has failed.

Making Lightning Rod 
M'ill^ lightning rods made of %-inch 
galvanized iron pipe, or a cable made of 
a few No. 9 wires be as durable as most 
rods placed on the market? lYhat is the 
best Avay to attach lightning rods, Avith 
insnlatoi*s or Avithout? J. P. G. 
Ohio. 
According to Farmers’ Bulletin No. 
.367 of the United States Department of 
Agriculture, No| 3 or No. 4 double gal¬ 
vanized telegraph Avire may be used in 
the protection of buildings from lightning 
Avith results nearly, or quite, equal to 
those gained from the ordinai’y copper 
conductors. While not as durable as cop¬ 
per, galvanized iron wii’e offers the same 
protection and may be installed at com¬ 
paratively small cost. The present prac¬ 
tice is to staple these lightning conduc¬ 
tors directly to the building, without in¬ 
sulators. The above mentioned bulletin 
AA’ill give you full directions for putting 
up these wires and is well Avorth getting 
if you contemplate roddiug your build¬ 
ings. M. B. D. 
Frost-proof Cellars. —If 11. V. P., 
Enfield, Me. (P. 864) will line his cellar 
somewhat as I have built several lumber 
driers, I do not think that he Avill have 
any trouble with frost. Let him strip his 
walls Avith two-inch strips, Siiy two feet 
apart, and board up Avith tongue and 
grooved lumber, making a two-inch air 
space next Avail. Against that nail 2x6- 
inch studding, and boai’d up on that, fill¬ 
ing up the six-inch space with dry suav- 
dust or very finely-cut straw, well iiacked. 
Five-pound paper sacks can be used for 
filling up with the saAV’dust at the top. 
If there is danger from above, ceil over¬ 
head and fill the space between the floor 
joists Avith sawdust. Protect window and 
door openings as you, suggested. In mjj 
lumber driers I have found that 280 de¬ 
grees F. for two days at a time will not 
Avarin the siding through six inches of 
thoroughly dry sawdust, and I have seen 
ice on the top of the kilns when the ther¬ 
mometer shoAved above 240 degrees inside.
