WITTE Log-Saw Does the Work of 
10 Men At 1/20 the Cost— 
Saws 25 Cords a Day 
A log saw that will burn any fuel and de¬ 
liver the surplus power so necessary to fast 
sawing is sure to show every owner an 
extra profit of over $1,000.00 a year. 
Such an outfit is the Witte Log-Saw 
which has met such sensational success. 
The Witte, equipped with the celebrated 
Wico Magneto, is known as the standard

ural “arm-swing” and free from the usual 
log-saw troubles. It uses kerosene, gaso¬ 
line or distillate so economically that a 
full day’s work costs only twenty-two 
In addition to sawing from 10 to 25 
cords a day, the powerful Witte Engine 
can be used to run all other farm ma¬ 
chinery—pump water, grind feed, etc. 
Mr. Witte says that the average user of 
a WITTE Log and Tree saw can make 
easily $40.00 a day with the outfit, and so 
confident is he that he offers to send the 
complete combination log and tree saw on 
ninety days’ guaranteed test to anyone 
who will write to him. The prices are 
lowest in history and under the method of 
easy payments you can make your own 
terms. Only a few dollars down puts the 
Witte to work for you.

Improving Flow of Water 
I have a spring about 1.500 ft. from 
my house, which is good water for every¬ 
thing. I put box around spring last Fall 
and put %-in. pipe from there to the 
house, but can only get the water to run 
very slowly at the faucet in kitchen, al¬ 
though I get lots of water at the barns 
after it leaves the house. I have pipe in 
cellar which is about level with tank in 
barn, with a shut-off valve to make it go 
up to kitchen faucet, and overflow back 
to barns. When I leave valve open I get 
lots of water at barns; when I close valve 
to make it rise to faucet at kitchen, a 
rise of say 7 ft., very little water. Would 
a larger pipe from spring, say 20 ft. l 1 /^ 
in., 20 ft. 1 in., and then continue with 
%-in.. make any difference to pressure at 
the kitchen faucet, or is there any way 
I can make water run faster at the house? 
Would the friction have anything to do 
with water running slowly, where there is 
not too much fall? As near as we could 
level the top of spring was 3 ft. higher 
than kitchen faucet. j. II. 
Cazenovia, N. Y. 
The trouble is probably, as you sug¬ 
gest, due to friction in so long a line of 
pipe with so little head to force the water 
through. Three feet of head on 1,500 ft. 
of %-in. pipe would furnish very little 
velocity. The use of GO ft. of larger pipe 
at the upper end of the line, as you have 
suggested, would make very little dif¬ 
ference in the flow. The use of 1-in. pipe 
for the whole length of the line would 
make a far greater difference, for we must 
remember that the water coming through 
the 60 ft. of larger pipe must still go 
through the remaining 1.440 remaining 
feet of %-in. pipe, where the friction 
would amount to practically as much as 
before. 
I am not quite clear as to how your 
piping is arranged, but am offering the 
following suggestion : Lead the pipe from 
the spring to a small tank holding a half 
barrel or so above the sink. The faucet 
supplying the sink is placed in this tank, 
and water can be drawn rapidly until the 
contents of the tank are exhausted. An 
overflow from the tank is led to the tank 
in the barn, and the water allowed to 
flow constantly. This will not increase 
the flow in any way, but because it is 
running all of the time a very small 
stream will supply your needs. The house 
tank, having a stream running into it 
constantly, will always furnish a supply 
of fresh water for household use. 
Overheated Engine; Estimating Lumber 
in Cords 
1. I have a gas engine, 2% h.p., which 
runs a milking machine, milking at pres¬ 
ent eight cows with it. What makes the 
engine heat up so it boils hard after it 
has been running five minutes? It has 
been used for milking only for less than 
two years; is in the cow stable and heats 
up worse in Winter than in Summer. I 
use best grade oil. It lias good compres¬ 
sion and runs well; starts the first time 
over. 2. How many cords of 13-in. wood 
are there in 1,000 ft. of lumber scaled in 
the log, logs averaging 14 in. at the small 
end ? c. w. l. 
Clinton, N. Y. 
1. The overheating of your engine as 
described indicates that it is out of time, 
and that the spark is occurring too late. 
Check up your engine and see about this, 
and if the spark is found to be late, ad¬ 
vance it gradually until the best running 
position is found. Also see that your 
shafting and milking machinery are in 
good condition and turn freely so that the 
engine is not overloaded. 
2. The question concerning quantity of 
wood< secured from a given quantity of 
logs was referred to the Forestry Depart¬ 
ment at Washington, and their reply is 
quoted. “The contents of a 14-in. by 6-ft. 
log scaled by the International Log Rule 
is 135 board feet or 7.4 logs to the thou¬ 
sand. This is equivalent to a content of 
19.63 cu. ft., or a total for 7.4 logs of 
145.3 cu. ft. The above was computed by 
assuming a taper of 1 in. in 8 ft. to get 
the average diameter of the log. The 
product of the area in square feet cor¬ 
responding to this diameter and the length 
of the log in feet gives the cubic contents. 
Investigations indicate that the actual 
cubic content of wood in a standard cord 
(4x4x8 ft.) varies considerably, and for a 
14-in. log cut into 4-ft. bolts and piled, 
ranges from 90 to 100 cu. ft. Taking an 
average of 95 cu. ft. to the cord, the total 
of 145.3 cu. ft. is equivalent to 1.5 stand¬ 
ard cords. If these bolts are cut into 13- 
in. lengths and split into stovewood size, 
the number of cords would be closer to 
two cords per 1,000 ft. B.M.” From the 
above it might be inferred that approxi¬ 
mately seven cords of 13-in. stovewood 
might be cut from 1.000 ft. of 14-in. logs 
when measured by the International 
Rule. Another log rule w'ould give a 
different result. Mr. Munns, who ans¬ 
wered this question, states that owing to 
the numerous assumptions that have to 
be made in making a computation of thus 
kind that it would not be advisable to use 
these figures for the purchase or sale of 
the logs in question.
