Hydraulic Rams—Device For tsing
One With Insufficient Fall.
A permanent farm water supply for
household, stable and irrigation pur
poses is becoming more and more rec
ognized as desirable and necessary.
The schemes for carrying water are
various. A correspondent who has
found satisfaction in a hydraulic ram,
having used it five years, sends a
sketch of his arrangement to the Ohio
Farmer, with the following comment:
“It pumps water for my garden,
greenhouses and plant beds and will
fill a 100 barrel tank at a height of 30
feet, 300 feet from the ram, every 24

hours easily. The size I use takes 2
Inch feed pipe with 1 inch discharge.
One can get any size wanted from
three-quarter inch to 4 inches feed and
three-eighths inch to 2!^ inches dis
charge, and to use from two gallons to
150 gallons per minute aud cost from
$5 up to $G5. The size I use, No. 5,
will cost from $11 to $13. The small
sizes use shorter feed pipes than the
largo ones, the smallest about 40, the
largest 85 feet. There are 10 or 12
sizes. I use GO feet on No. 5. The ram
house and feed box can be built of
wood, brick or stone. I used brick for
feed box, cemented like a cistern, and
the ram house is built of stone G by G
by 4 deep. Feed box 3 by 3 by 3 deep.
Put them down nearly level with
ground, so you can protect them from
freezing in winter. Be sure to lay all
pipes beld*w freezing and make all
joints tight.
“I would use galvanized pipe, but the
common black pipe will do quite a
while just as well. I would use a lar
ger size than you think you will need
if you have enough water to run it, be
cause the smaller the pipes aud ram
the more danger of getting out of or
der. Put a screen on feed box so that
nothing c-an get iu feed pipe or it will
get in the ram and stop it. Take all the
fall you can up to 10 feet, although a
ram will work on 3 feet fall, but not
quite so well.
“If the spring will not-furnish water
enough in a dry time to run the ram,
build a tank or cistern on a hillside if
you Lave one. and fill it when there is
plenty of water, and pipe it from there
to where wanted. I have nearly 1,000
feet of pipe connected to the ram 1
use, and I did all the work myself, and
it worked all right from the start.
“I think I can truthfully say that hy
draulic rams are cheaper and more reli
able than windmills or gasoline en
gines, etc. They are handy to get at
when they need repairing (which is
very seldom) and will run without any
attention and whether the wind blows
or not.”
But trouble sometimes attends the
use of the hydraulic ram.. One garden
er of note tells that his brook is so level
he could not get the desired fall with
out using a very long feed pipe, and a
long feed pipe is fatal to the good
working of a ram. To him and others
in the same box a colaborer gives ad
vice as follows through American Gar
dening:
Locate your rams in a desirable place
and decide how much fall you must
have. Get a piece of three inch (if a
large ram use four inch) steam pipe as
tion with the cheap laborer of
tropics, a competition that has
proved profitable to the American.
In 1880 » peculiar prairie region in
the Lake Charles district of Louisiana
was opened up by the construction of a
railroad. In 1SS4 enterprising settlers
began the development of a new sys
tem of rice culture, by which, as now
perfected, the elevated and normally or
periodically dry prairie lands are flood
ed by a system of pumps, canals and
levees, and when the rice is about to
mature the water is drained off, leav
ing the land dry enough for the use of
reaping machines. Under this system
the cost of harvesting and therefore
the total cost of production has been
greatly reduced, and tlie industry has
undergone a rapid development.
The Japanese rices average better
than the American as far as their
milling qualities are concerned, and
for this reason it is desirable that Jap
anese rices be more extensively intro
duced into this country provided they
maintain the same characteristics as in
thek native country.
The American methods of using ma
chinery in tlie ricefields have resulted
in a revolution in methods of cultiva
tion. If, in addition, the same relative
improvement can be secured in the
rice itself; if varieties which yield from
80 to 90 per cent of head rice in the
finished product can be successfully in
troduced, American rice growers will
be able to command for their prod
ucts prices as high as any in the mar
kets of the world.
Dr. Knapp returned from Japan in
Die early spring of 1899 with ten tons
of Kiusbu rice, which was distributed
to experimenters in tlie Lake Charles
district aud elsewhere in the rice belt.
The result of the milling tests of the
Kiusbu rice is therefore awaited with
much interest. If the high milling
quality of this rice is maintained un
der our cultured conditions, the com
plete success of an American system
of rice cultivation will be firmly estab
lished.
A report on the new American sys
tem and its relation to rice production
in general will be issued as bulletin

are iu the field gathering honey or
when swarming, they will ueiev volun

filled with honey, but when tlieir little

self defense and resent the attack. It
is therefore necessary to use a smoker
of some kind. Before opening a hive
send in a few puffs of smoke at the en
trance to alarm them, and they will
immediately rush for the combs and
fill themselves with honey.
After smoking them it is well to wait
a minute or two that they may gorge
themselves. Tlie cover can then be

Southern Cotton Factories.
Among the many agencies that have
contributed to bring about tbe im
provement now so strongly moving the
world to look to the -south there is one
we must not overlook—the cotton fac
tories of the south. They have had
very much to do with bringing about
the great change.
The large dividends which they
have been able to declare has attracted
attention. It has alarmed the eastern
mill owners. It will soon alarm the
foreign mill owners. It foreshadows
financial revolutions, momentous in
their consequences. But we cannot
pursue this thought just here."
We desire to urge upon the farmers
of the south the duty resting upon
them to encourage building cotton fac
tories until over half of the cotton
crop shall be turned into thread and
cloth right here where it grows. This
is the key to the wealth of the future.
Why should we sell lint cotton when
the world wants thread and cloth?—

to be cheap, enduring and more satis

will not refuse to do its duty.
An Item In Forestry.
The following method of measuring
the height of a standing tree is recom
mended in a bulletin of the department
of agriculture for its simplicity: At
some distance from the tree, where
both top aud base are readily visible,
place a pole from four to five feet long
(SF) perpendicularly in the ground.
Put iu the ground another and longer
pole (DE) at some distance from the
first one, so that the poles and tree are
situated in tlie same vertical plane.
Sight from the top of the smaller pole
tlie base and tbe top of tbe tree and
note the points where your lines of vi
sion intersect the longer pole. Meas
ure the distance between them; meas-
HANDLING BEES,
in on top of the frames, and the bees
will adhere nicely to the combs. With
screwdriver or tack puller the division
board can be removed aud the combs
pried apart anti one by one examined
without danger of being stung.
In an apiary where there are manj
bees flying it is always best to be on
the safe side and wear a veil, but
gloves are unnecessary and cumber
some. A beehive should not be pulled
apart every few days for mere curiosi
ty, but should be examined occasional
ly to ascertain the needs of the bees
and condition. If the colony is weak,
it can be strengthened by adding
frame or two of sealed brood taken
from some other colony strong enough
to spare it. It is well to select one
kind of liives aud frame, so that all the
furniture of the hives will be inter
changeable, and not have two or three
kinds of hives in the apiary, which will
surely cause a great deal of vexation
aud annoyance.
Bees should always be handled very
gently. They seem to dislike quick,
jerky movements. In early spring or
autumn, when the days are cool, it is
prudent not to open tbe hives until
near midday, when the field bees will
then be out gathering honey. On cloudy
or rainy days it is best not to open
hives, for the field bees are then at
home and are cross, being deprived of
the privilege of gathering the precious
nectar.
At night is the very worst time to
molest bees, as some pilfering persons
have found out to their sorrow. It is
true that bees do not fly at night, but
they crawl and sting. By injudicious
handling bees can be made very irrita
ble and cross, so that they will sting
everybody near and far and will re
main angry and vicious for weeks.
