A centrifugal pump is the best adapted wbere a great amount of water is required. A three-inc- h pump will require a four to eight horse power engine to pull it Oil is the cheapest fuel. The coal a steam engine would burn would exceed more than three times the cost of oil fuel. An ordinary engine burns a pint to two pints of oil for each horse power every day. If a patch to be irrigated is less than two ares, a windmill can bo used to good advantage. It should have a 40 to 60 foot toer and the wind wheel should bo 12 or 14 feet in diameter.
