Why Carry Water?
    Running a house is no snap. Let's take the drudgery out of house-
work and the blue out of Monday. "Toting" water requires strength

                     er's daughter can hear the call of the city when she
sees this life of drudgery before her. Relieve this load with machinery at
little expense.
    We quickly adopt machinery for saving labor on the farm, but when it
comes to making home life easier for the woman and more pleasant for all
the family, we too often consider machinery in the home a luxury when it
really is a necessity. Let's take a few minutes off and think about this.

water to pump. This is a step in the right direction in making farm life
attractive to the children. Water is one of the absolute necessities of life.

water distributing system is necessary. Wells are usually located for the

     The cost of installing a water supply system may not be as expensive
 as we often think. You could install your own system. There are three
 methods of distributing water: (1) the elevated- tank system, (2) the air
 and water pressure system, and (3) the fresh water direct from the well.
 Before installing any system the amount of water required should be figurefl
