The Litchfield
Manure Spreader
pROF. ROBERTS, one of the most no
ted agriculturists in the west estima
ted $250 as a conservative figure for the
value of the manure produced during sev
en months on a farm carrying 4 horses, 20
cows, 50 sheep and 10 pigs. We might
fill half a page with figures on the value
of manure to the farmer, but the principal
thing is to get it on to the soil so as to get
the full value of it. The Litchfield Man
ure Spreader does this. Hundreds of farm
ers have foumd this out to their complete
satisfaction. Let us show you the machine.

AFTER MORE WATER
Council Considering Plans and Bids for
Improving the Water System
A half-dozen representatives of con
cerns in the business of furnishing
pumps, engines ana water-works com
plete were in town Monday to lay be
fore the mayor and council the claims
of their respective companies. At the
Monday night meeting there appear
ed before the council J. E. White of
the National Construction company of
South Bend, lnd.: Barnes & Prende
gast of Mitchell, contractors W. G.
Buck of the Fairbanks & Morse com
pany and Mr. Jones of Sioux Fall, re
presenting the Thompson & Lewis
Engine company.
At the conclusion of the regular
business meeting of the council each
In turn set out what they had to offer
Mr. White took the floor first and ex
plained his system, He is the invent
or of what is known as the air tank
pressure system. His proposition is,
briefly as follows: At a cost of $2000
he would put In a new 20 horse power
engine, air compressor, duplex pump
and air lift. The air lift system is
worked by running two pipes down
the well, one to carry the air forced
down by the compressor and the other
to carry the water out. This system
is now being installed all over the
country in place of using a pumping
cylinder, which has to be constantly
attended to.
As our system is now installed, the
water is forced into the elevated tank
through the bottom bv a pumping
jack, the 6-incli cylinder (about foiir
feet long) being down about 75 feet In
the well. An air lift would put the
water into the tank at the top.
The duplex pump which White pro
posed can be used direct on the mains
to give a fire pressure or sufficient
torce for lawn purposes at certain
hours daily, drawing the supply from
the tank now in use. In case of fire
the duplex pump and air compressor
can both be run, one forcing the water
out of the well into the tank and the
pump taking the water from the tank
and forcing it through the mains at
high pressure. This is the system ui
use in Mitchell except that they have
a storage reservoir instead of a tank.
BUT, if for any reason the engine
should balk—as any gasoline engine is
likely to do any minute—the tpwn
would be in no better shape to fight
fire than today. Here is where Mr.
White's particular invention comes in
—an air compression tank. For about
$1000 additional, or approximately
$3000 all told, he will put in the out
fit described and a steel boiler-shaped
tank 8ftx36ft, holding 10.000 gallons of
water and 5,000 gallons of air, the
tank to be set on the south side uftthe
engine house and enclosed within it
by a lean-to. This tank would have
with it an extra air compressor. It
would be supplied by the duplex pump
taking water from the elevated tank
and when loaded will force a stream
from a three-quarter inch nozzle- at
GO pounds pressure for one hour and
fifty minutes independent of the en
gine and duplex pump, in case the en
gine could not be started or was out
of order. The advantage of having a
constant pressure on the mains and a
ready supply of water at high pressure
is so manifest that the consensus of
opinion among the council and citi
zens alike seem to favor the addition
al cost. This is the system in use at
Armour, though they have two steel
tanks—not having an elevated tank
for extra supply as we have.
In case of a fire the air compression
tank can be supplied right along bv
both air and water, keeping up the
pressure indefinitely.
Barnes & Pendergast of Mitchell
proposed to put up an elevated tank
holding 10,000 gallons (the present
tank holds 50,000) 80 feet high on a
steel tower, a ten horse power engine
and a new pump similar tc one in use,
all complete for $2900.
The other reprentatlves present
were ready to sell an engine or pumps,
or any part of necessary machinery.
At the request of Mayor Parker, a
citizens' meeting of business and other
prominent taxpayers was held at the
engine house Tuesday evening to
listen to Mr. White's-qroposition, and
to hear from any of the other water
works folks from abroad. Mr. White
talked for an hour! of so, outlining the
advantages of his system and citing
I those in-use and elsewhere .and the
experiences of different towns with
their plants.
The council named Mayor Parker
and the lire and water committee,
Aldermen Ochsner *nd Berry, a com
mittee of three to receive bids and
specifications. This tne committee

SENN TALKS BACK
Which Closes the Incident So Far as
the Graphic is Concerned
Editor Graphic:—I presume you now
realize that mifortunes never come
singly. One week you "pi" a whole
form and have to fill up (the form)
with "Budweiser", giving that bever
age a free ad which ought to be worth
quite a roll, especially in "The Only
Strictly Moral Newspaper in South
Dakota." Then the next week
YOU
are compelled because of your indis
creet ebullition in saying 'Bully for
Senn", to again inflict your readers
and give free advertising to the Iona
"Mutual Admiration Society," of one,
towit, W. C. Hamilton.
Inasmuch as this fellow has already
been convicted of one crime in our
courts, and is under an indictment for
another, you will feel warranted here
after in adopting the rule of the Lyman
county papers, and make him pay in
advance regular advertising rates for
his self laudatory epistles.

up specifications of what is wanted
and advertise for bids.
The principal trouble with the pre
sent system is that the engine is much
too light and the tank not elevated
sufficiently to give a pressure. An
other bad feature is that with any
kind of an engine it is impossible to
get enough water from the well with
a cylinder pump, saying nothing of
the work required to keep the cylind
der on working order and the ever pre
sent danger of its dropping down the
well. To put up an elevated tank 75
to 100 feet high as large as the one in
use would Involve an expenditure of
$3000 or more in itself. An engine of
sufficient size and other apparatus
perhaps $2000 additional.
The Farleys Return
Mr. and Mrs. fr. M. Farley and
children were in Sioux City last week
on their return to Madison from a
wjnter's stay on the Pacific coast. Mr.
Farley leased his paper, the Outlook,
with the intention of remaining a
year at least on the coast—perhaps in
definitely. But there were features
ot the life not cxaotly suited to him
which, together with the fact that
the man to whom he leased the Out
look has bought a newspaper of his
own, induced the early return—which
a whole lot of newspaper folks in
South Dakota licpe will be perman
ently.
Don't You Get Gay, Deekln
Among those to make a dig at the
"only strictly moral newspaper in
South Dakota" for using "Budweiser"
as a filler to fill a sudden felt want is
"Deekin" Bruce of the Elk Point
Courier and in his same issue in
which appears a half-page ad of
"Peruna." In that "Budweiser" con
tains only a small per cent of alcohol
and "Peruna" is just poor whiskey
with something in it to make it taste
worse, we can't see where the "Dee
kin" has the bulge ori us.
Heavy Rains Tnls Week.
According tc Obseryer Hose's gov
ernment records mare rain has fallen
during the first three days of May
than for the entire month in 1903 or
1904—and it is still damp over head.
The total precipitation tiiis week is
2.2" inches, of which 1.57 tell Wednes
day. Heavy showers fell at intervals
all day long, and at the noon hour the
hardest shower was accompanied by
heavy hail. Yesterday was cloudy and
damp, with a cold west wind and
some sleet. The rain was just what
was needed to send the wheat and
grass along, both of which have been
retarded by a cold and dry April. The
rains this week have boosted the aver
age for both months combined above
last year and the year before. Here
is the record for the past three years.
1903 1904 1905
April 1.20 1.51 .08
May 1.53 120 2.27
2.73 2.71 2.95
As will be seen by the foregoing, if
no more rains falls this month there
is more rain for the crops than last
year or the year before. But we are
going to have a lot more.
It was the dryest April in ten years
The parcipitation in the extreme
eastern part of the state, about .Sioux
Falls, was but .68 of an inch, a short
age of nearly 2 inches from the nor
mal. The total shortage of moisture
for the past six months is somthing
like seven inches, we have some awful
wet weather due us in the next few'
months, and if average for the year is',
made good before July 1 better goto
raising ducks—or somthing that can
swim.
