[B, Box A, Forrestville, Conn. 
Will you please give me advice what I could 
do to get the water up from my spring which 
is about 85 feet from the house and 12 feet 
below the level. I dug a hole 5 feet deep and 
stoned up like a well. There is not enough 
flow for a hydraulic ram.—G. K., New York. 
I T is a little bit hard to give the best 
advice in a case of this kind, because 
we do riot know all of the local par¬ 
ticulars. Probably the simplest thing 
is to intall a suction pump to draw it 
up, operated either by windmill, gaso¬ 
line engine, or electricity. A good 
pump ought to do this all right if the 
total vertical raise is only 12 feet. You 
can keep the pump operating for suffi¬ 
cient time to get the necessary supply. 
Your spring seems to have a very 
small flow. Is there some way in which 
you could increase this flow so that you 
would have a large supply of water 
available. Sometimes the use of a 
small amount of explosive in the neigh¬ 
borhood of the spring will open up a 
strata a little so that the water-flow is 
increased. Of course, this has to be 
handled very carefully, and it might 
not be a desirable thing to experiment. 
SIZE OF PIPE; COST OF 
INSTALLATION 
I have a spring 100 rods away from my 
buildings. The spring is about 15 feet higher 
than the barn. What size pipe should I nse in 
order to get water enough for 40 head of 
cattle. Could you give me an estimate on cost, 
and could this water be siphoned on this 15- 
foot head?—A. B. F., New York. 
With a spring located as you de¬ 
scribe, you certainly have an excellent 
chance to get a good water supply to 
your buildings. The 15-foot head will 
give you a pressure of about six 
pounds, allowing for friction in the 
pipe, and this will be enough to dis¬ 
tribute the water all through the build¬ 
ings, provided, of course, that you do 
not attempt to raise it higher than the 
spring itself. I would recommend that 
you use a one-inch pipe to get the 
water into your barn. A smaller pipe 
would probably do it, but there is a 
chance of deposition of mineral matter 
in the pipe which would form a scale, 
thus reducing its effective diameter. 
I am not quite sure just what you 
mean by siphoning the water on this 
15-foot head. With the spring high¬ 
er than the barn, there is no need 
of siphoning, since . gravity itself will 
cause the water to flow directly to the 
bam. So far as the cost is concerned, 
I would not want to guess at this, as so 
much will depend on local conditions. 
You will have to put the pipe below 
ground, and, of course, get it deep 
enough so that it won’t freeze. The 
spring should be protected with a con¬ 
crete curb. All these things are vari¬ 
able in cost, and the best thing you can 
do is to get an estimate from your local 
contractor. _ 
GOOD LAYOUT FOR POWER 
PLANT 
I have a very desirable site on a small stream 
to Install a water power electric plant for 
lights and power. What quantity of water 
will be required with a head of ten or twelve 
feet or more if necessary (ten or twelve feet 
can be obtained with very little expense) to 
operate a IV 2 K. W. 110-volt generator? What 
kind and size wheel should be used?—A. K,, 
Ohio. 
With a fall of 10 or 12 feet and any¬ 
thing like an adequate supply of water, 
it will be easy to develop plenty of 
power to supply electricity for all small 
power uses about the home. With a 
fall of 12 feet, allowing for some de¬ 
duction on account of loss of efficiency 
in power transmission, you will need 
a flow of approximately 50 cubic feet of 
water per minute. Of course, the great¬ 
er the fall in excess of 12 feet and the 
greater the flow in excess of 50 cubic 
feet per minute, the greater will be 
your power developed. 
In this installation, I think a rather 
broad-bladed over-shot wheel would 
probably be the most satisfactory. As 
in many other cases where an installa¬ 
tion of this size is being male, it -would 
be very much worth while to have a 
water power expert look over the loca¬ 
tion. He will advise you as to the best 
place for putting in the dam, construct¬ 
ing the dam itself, arranging the wheel, 
power house, and the other engineering 
features. _ 
To Prevent Freezing—The proper 
and most convenient way to prevent 
freezing of drinking water in winter 
is to empty the drinking vessel each 
night before dark. If the cool weather 
comes down too rapidly apd the water 
in the Vessel becomes frozen, a conve¬ 
nient method is to invert the drinking 
fountain and to pour a little hot wa'-jr 
on the outside. The ice melts arounh 
the edge and the lump drops out. '
