WATER FOR THE FARM.

HUME PIPI COMPANY’S OERVIOE. ___ A pure supply -of water for stock on the farm is essential. Indeed. it is a fact well—known to every dairy producer so there is little wonder that the exhibit of reinforced concrete water troughs and storage tanks by the Hume Pipe Company, Limited. is attracting almost universal interest at the \Vnikato Winter Show. Visitors are able to see how the Humane sys—tem can make farm watering possible at, a haste minimum cost. In construction. the water tanks and troughs are simple. They are set up with floor sections and the vertical and floor joints are plastered together to complete the structure. The ad—vantages of this construction for water tanks and troughs are firstly. that the initial cost is the only cost; and secondly, that they may be assembled on the joh in small sections to facili-t-ntc handling and then erected to the required size. The linnmco system brings, thew advantages within easy reach of the farmer no matter where he may hr. far. by means of the in—terlocking joints. a tan]; ran he erected ml any spot. h)‘ nnynnr' \\ithulit the nrressity of previous cuwricin‘o.
