(Continued from page 45) 
the growing plants. If the water has to 
be carried any distance from the faucets, 
it will be both cheaper and better to use 
iron pipe (the same size as the faucet) to 
carry it where it is needed, using only a 
short length of hose to distribute with. 
The pipe is simply laid along the surface 
of the ground or sunk a few inches under 
walks or roads. Second-hand three-quar¬ 
ter inch iron pipe can be bought for two 
or three cents per foot, and anyone can 
put it together with a couple of pipe 
wrenches. Good hose costs from fifteen 
to twenty cents a foot. The pipe should 
be connected to the faucet by a short 
piece of hose, which can be quickly un¬ 
coupled and the lengths screwed and 
stored under cover in winter. 
Where the source of supply is a well or 
spring, the problem is not such a simple 
one. A good hand pump — if a good hand 
pumper is to be had with it — will throw a 
large enough stream for properly water¬ 
ing the average home garden or grounds, 
but it means double work and tedious 
work. Where the water may, whether by 
gravity or force, be given an elevation of 
several feet above the grounds, a tank 
of some sort will enable the storing of 
enough water for irrigation purposes on 
a small scale. A good wooden, stone or 
metal tank can be had for $25 to $40; but 
it is by no means necessary to go to this 
expense if one cannot afford it. Good 
tight pork or pickle barrels can be had for 
about thirty-five cents each, or empty 
liquor barrels for a dollar to a dollar and 
a half. A number of such barrels — up to 
12 or 18 of a large amount of water is 
necessary — can easily be connected to¬ 
gether near the bottoms with three-quar¬ 
ter inch iron or lead pipe. If using the 
iron pipe, “luck nuts” will be necessary 
to get good tight joints; if lead, fit the 
connecting pieces in as tightly as possible 
and protruding about half an inch inside 
each barrel; then with a corie shaped piece 
of wood ram the ends out and hammer 
them down flat. In this way, for a few 
dollars and a few hours’ work, one may 
have a practical tank of a very consider¬ 
able capacity. If a barn or shed is avail¬ 
able, the barrels can easily be placed in a 
loft or on a scaffold out of the way and 
out of sight. Such a contrivance will pay 
for itself in one season, even on a small 
place. 
Those not familiar with watering in the 
garden on a large scale are apt to make 
the mistake of applying a “shower” each 
day, while the proper way is to give a 
thorough soaking, in which case once a 
week, even in very dry weather, will work 
wonders. The water is best applied on a 
cloudy day, or late in the afternoon, so 
that there will be as little loss as possible 
from surface evaporation. Where water 
can be supplied only in small quantities, 
do not sprinkle it over the surface; with 
a round pointed stick an inch or so in di 
ameter, make a hole near each plant sev 
eral inches deep. By pouring even a tea-
