A GIANT PUMPING PLANT
Packer's Great Irrigation En
terprUe a Success.

Pumping plant have been ao im
proved in the lvt few rear as to lead
one to hope tliat in that direction lie
the aolution of the irrigation question.
George F. Packer, although considered
one of the most conservative men in
the county, hat led off in number of
things. Borne year ago he chocked off
tome land and put in a flume (or win
ter irrigation and planted alfalfa. He
made a aurvey himself to determine the
practicability of taking the water out
of the river below Stony creek to water
the river land, and wanted the co-operation
of aoine of the farmers to build
the canal. ' He oppraed both the Colusa
and the Central district because he did
not believe in that plan ami time haa
shown that he waa wiaer in that than
many of us. He. wanted to know who
waa to manage.
Again he comes to the front. The
Hercules Oaa Engine Works of Sun
Francisco baa Just completed, on his
home place, the largest gasoline pump
ing plant in existence, which will be
used for pumping water from the river
with which to irrigate several hundred
acres of land.
This plant consists of an. 80-horse
power, horizontal single cylinder, Ber
enice engine and a Erogh Manufactur
ing Company s ' JS-iuch centrifugal
pump, guaranteed to raise 8,000 gal-
Ions of water per minute 37 feet high,
There ia also a smaller pumpof 400 gal
lons a minute capaci v driven by the
same engine. This is for tank purposes.
The engine is arranged to use either
gasoline or distillate oil, and as the lat
ter is very cheap it will no dpjbt be
the fuel selected for use. The 20-inch
suction pipe, made of No. 10 steel,
paases through the levee, on an incline,
into the river, and at its lower end is
a large foot valve weighing 1,200
pounds. ,
A 20-inch discharge pipe carries the
water from the pump to a head box 22
feet square and 8 feet high. For the
foundation of the machinery an excava
tion was made and filled with concrete.
The first test made showed a much
larger pumping capacity than the con
tract called for, the flow of water ex
ceeding 7,200 gallons a minute or 432,
000 gallons an hour, or 10,368,000 gal
lon per day of 24 hours enough water
to cover 884 acres an inch deep, or 88
acres 10 inches deep every day of 24
hours. '
A very important part i the exceed
ingly small cost of the fuel, it being
only one-eighth gallon per hour for
each horse power actually used, and I

Italy Cotton Maaufactaroa.
The growth of the cotton industry in
Lombardy, according to consular re
ports, has been remarkable that is,
the number of spindles in Italy is stat
ed to be nearly 1,800,000; also some
70,000 power looms, besides a very
large number of hand looms; and of all
these about half are credited to Lom
bardy, and, as a large proportion of
the spinning mills work day and night,
the spindles may be calculated as
equivalent to 2,500,000 in countries
where only day work prevails. All
kinds of raw cotton are used, but chiefly
Indian and American of medium qual
ity. Until recently the yarns were
almost entirely confined to the lower
counts, even the general average being
20' to 22', but many spinners are
turning their attention to the finer
counts, which have hitherto been im
ported from Switzerland and England,
while no insuperable difficulty has been
encountered either on account of labor
or the climate.- Calico printing has
aleo become a business of considerable
importance and - the amount is con
siderable, both of yarns and cloth,

Arabian horse manifest remarkable

a horse of this breed finds himself
wounded and perceives that he will not
be able to bear his rider much longer
he quickly retires from the conflict,
bearing his master to a place of safety
while he has still sufficient strength.
But if, on the other hand, the rider is
wounded and he falls to the ground,
the faithful animal remains beside
him, unmindful of danger, neighing
until assistance is brought.

the price of the fuel i lees than 10
cent a gallon. It the whole fore
should be need, there would be only
eight gallon an hour, or lee than 100
gallon a day of 84 hours. The fuel
item then ia lea than $30 for covering-
88 acre 10 inche deep with water oi
less than 00 cents an acre. If naed for
wheat, one sack to the acre will pa? all
the expense of putting 10 inches of
water on it Just as it i wanted moat.
This pumping plant, destined to
revolutionise agriculture In the Sacra
mento valley, was put in operation Fri
day, August 8. -.-- .
Early in the morning a party of Co-
lusan drove to the ranch of Mr. Pack
er, which i on the river below Prince
ton, to tee the great pump make a trial
of it strength. The air wa cool and
the drive moat pleasant, though dusty.
Arriving, they found the engine placed
in a concrete oblong, square basin,
sloping towards the cut in the levee
that leads to the river and the great
28-inch iron pipe extending from
88x3 J foot reservoir down the concrete
baaiti, on through the cut in the levee
and river hank into the water, The
machinery waa all clean and bright and
G. V. Tibbetts and Arthur Pope were
on hand to put it in motion. John E,
Doak of Snn Francisco, having tlif
work in charge, was there, and as th
engine started, the great belt moving
slowly at first, and increasing in vela
city, the water began to come with
force into the reservoir. It gushed for
awhile, when one of the smaller part
of the engine became clogged, and it
waa stopped for arrangement Just
then, as all stood still, there wa a
splash and a wild shout came from
those who had climbed upon the edge
iol the reservoir. All rushed up and
j found Mr. Stice, of Beit Blnff, who is
here buying fruit, floundering around
in the water, having lost his balance
and tumbled in. There was much mer
riment at bis expense, and it had a
healthy action on the crowd, bringing
laughter and good will all around.
Again, the engines started, and forc
ing 7,200 gallons to the minute, the
great reservoir was soon overflowing,
and all pronounced it the grandest of
successes. .
The success of Mr. Packer's enter
prise will show conclusively that it
will be immensely profitable to irrigate
even wheat lands that are at all favor
ably situated. Who would not give a
sack of wheat an acre for the privilege
of 10 inches of water at will? It would
make a difference, one year with an
other, of five to ten sacks; there need
be no summer-fallowing. A certain
crop every year. But then there comes
in a more profitable crop alfalfa and
sugar beets. .
This plant was put in for Mr. Packer
for $3,600, but the head of the com
pany inform ns that this was an in
ducement and that another would come
higher.

Power for the Farm.
A farmer needs a power that Is both
cheap and ready for use and one that
can be depended upon. He also wauta
It to be safe from fire and explosion,
and easily moved to different parts of
the farm buildings. There Is one power
that meet all these requirements quite
well, and one that the farmer might use
to greater advantage than he does, and
that I the tread power. It wa used
exclusively o farms forty year ago
for such limited use a auy power was
applied to, but, for some reason or oth
er, was quite generally abandoned. But
the tread power is coming back Into use
gain for such work, as a cheap and In
expensive power Is needed. This (low
er ran be obtained In almost any slue
required, from a power Intended for a
goat or dog np to a power for four
horses. The sum lies t are often used
to run bahy separators, cliuru and
such things as these, and the largest to
run feed cutters aud heavy threshing
machines. A two-horse tread power
will run a circular saw for sawing
wood, and a two or three-horse power
will tun a medluni-slxed cutter for cut
ting ensilage. When a farmer has the
horses It Is the cheapest kind of power
that can be obtained npon most farms,
aud the cost Is within the reach of most
farmer. The windmill has come Into
use to a considerable exteut, especially
for pumping water for stock or family
nse. Witb proper attention It does good
work, and Is, of course, Inexpensive In
operation after once established. An
other kind of power that has come Into
ns Is the gasoline engine, and fur
nishes one-horse power at only one or
two cent an , hour. This matter of
power seems to be settled among the
three forms: The tread power, wludmlll
power and gasoline power. The first
I comparatively Inexpensive In the
first cost While the other two power
named are expensive at the start, It
costs icarcely anything to operate
tbeui, and the gasoline engine, can be
nsed for any work upon the farm to
which stationary power is ever applied.
But, for pumping water alone, nothing
will take the place of a good wind
power. Mirror and Farmer.
The Value of Straw.
It used to be said that no straw
should be sold from the farm because
It so greatly belted the manure pile.
But so many uses for straw came np
that its price weut far beyond Its mano
rial value. Now straw Is regarded as
one of he farm products that can be
most easily spared, provided It Is near
enough to the market to be sold with
out too great expct.se for marketing.
Farmers are learning the same thing
about timothy hay. It also sell for
more than It manurlal valne. But this
Is not true of clover bay. It takes from
the r-oll and returns to the soil more
than any other crop tbnt the Northern
farmer grow. But It has the advan
tage that the nitrogen It take from the
soil Is from decomposed air, and that
after a clover hay crop has been cut,
the il It has grown In Is always rich
er In nitrogen than It wa before.

Pare llrlnklnn; Water.
It Is well known that alum will re
move organic and other matters from
water, so as to render It clear and pure;
but It Is now said thai fluoride Is su
perior to alum for this purpose. One
ounce of fluoride Is used to every 1,000
gallons of water. After all. the best
purifier Is nature's own. The minute
organisms known as bacteria are the
chief causes of the Impurity of drinking
water. These Invisible creatures have
to live aa well as their larger brethren,
and I hey must ent to live. As soon as
they have eaten all In the water that
there Is to feed on, they die. Ir. Frank'
land ha recently stated, from his re
cent examination of water stored for
two weeks, that It seems as pure and
free from bacteria life as If It had been
passed through the best of filters; but
It seems strange that this should have
to recently come under Dr. Frankland'
experience. , Every one know that
there Is no purer or better water in the
world than that which Is supplied to
seafaring people. , Almost any kind of
water stored awuj In a ship's tank be
come absolutely pure after the vessel
has been a few week at sea. This Is
usually ascribed In popular language
to fermentation, but there Is , really
nothing to ferment; It Is simply that the
bacteria have eaten everything In the
water there Is to eat, and then died of
starvation. Median's Monthly.
