NEW SYSTEM OF IRRIGATION'
Parallel Lines of Galvanized Iron Pipe |
Meeting With Much Favor Among
Many Farmers.
Another system of sprinkling that |
Is meeting with favor and being
widely adopted by truck farmers,
berry growers and greenhouse men
consists of running parallel lines of
galvanized Iron pipe, elevated high ]
enough above the ground to permit
free passage of men and teams be
neath In carrying on cultural opera
tions.
There pipes, or nozzle lines, as |
they are called, are usually set 40
to 80 feet apart, and supported on P
of posts about 7 or 8 feet high.
Small brass nozzles are screwed In
the parallel pipes at Internals of from
three to four feet and when the sys- ;
tem Is In operation thousands of tiny |
streams shoot forth, producing a re
sult almost like natural rain over the
area between the nozzle lines. The
pipes are so arranged that they can
be revolved to give the jets whatever
angle is desired in leaving the noz
zels.
The slate of Washington has now .
about a dozen installations of this |
type and the system also is growing

Horses always bring a higher price

It pays to feed sheep grain on pas

A little fed regularly goes a long

The extra growth of wool will pay

After the lambs have been taken
away from the ewes, they need good
pasture. It is a good plan. too. to
rave a few gentle ewes with them
to help them get wonted to their new
surroundings.
Separate the pastures In which you
keep the ewes and the weaned lambs
