WATER IN PASTURES.
An abundant supply of water is more important in the pasture than food. Cattle will subsist longer without food than water. Modern, improvement's have made a good water supply possible without depending upon springs and running streams, as formerly. An elevated storage tank or cistern supplied by a pump from a deep well will furnish water to the farmstead at a small expense after it it installed. The pump may be operated by wind dr electric power or by an internal combustion engine. Where a hill or rising land is close to the farmstead, , a cistern may be built for storage of water. It has some advantages over the elevated tank in being protected from heat and cold. The elevated tank makes the gravity water system possible when no natural elevation is at hand.
