Water Supply.—Water can be supplied to a home under pressure froman elevated tank, also from a pneumatic tank into which water is pumped 1 Courtesy of Fairbanks, Morse & Company, Chicago. 762 SUCCESSFUL FARMING against a cushion of air. An elevation may be procured by placing thewater tank upon a silo, upon a tower or upon a hill. In extremely coldclimates water in an elevated tank is likely to freeze, and in hot climatesit becomes warm and is not palatable. Where it is not too expensive, areservoir placed on the side of a hill and well protected supplies waterunder pressure at an even temperature the year around. Such an ele-vation is permanent and the pipes are placed beneath the ground sothey do not freeze. It is considered, after first cost, the most satisfactory. Fairbanks-Morse Water System for Farms and Suburban system of water supply. In recent years the pneumatic tank which maybe buried in the ground or placed in the cellar is considered an excellentmethod for supplying water under pressure to the farmstead. In installing a system of this kind, one should be sure he is dealingwith a responsible company. It is very necessary that the pump supply-ing the water to this tank should be provided with a small air pmnp aswell. This will supply air as well as water, thus insuring the air cushionat all times. Such a system should be operated under about 50 poundspressure.
