awn
from the spring, one gallon may be raised to the height of one
hundred feet above the machine; and so in like proportion, as the
fall or rise is increased or diminished.

"It is presumed that the above illustrations of what the machine
will do under certain heads and rise, will be sufficient for all
practical purposes, to enable purchasers of the article to
determine, with a sufficient degree of nicety, as to the head or
fall to apply to the ram for a given rise and distance, which they
may wish to overcome in raising water from springs or brooks to
their premises, or other places where water is required. Yet, we
have the pleasure of copying the following article, which we find in
the 'American Agriculturist,' a very valuable journal published by
C. M. Saxton, 152 Fulton-street, New York, which may serve to
corroborate our statements as to what our ram will accomplish under
given circumstances:

"'The following is a correct statement of a water ram I have had in
successful operation for the last six months:

"'1. The fall from the surface of the water in the spring is four
feet. 2. The quantity of water delivered per ten minutes, at my
house, is three and a quarter gallons, and that discharged at the
ram twenty-five gallons. Thus, nearly one-seventh part of the water
is saved. 3. The perpendicular height of the place of delivery above
the ram is nineteen feet--say fifteen feet above the surface of the
spring. 4. The length of the pipe leading from the ram to the house
is one hundred and ninety feet. 5. The pipe leading from the ram to
the house has three right angles, rounded by curves. 6. The ram is
of Douglass' make, of a small size. 7. The length of the drive or
supply-pipe is sixty feet. Its inner diameter one inch. 8. The depth
of water in the spring, over the drive pipe, is six inches. 9. The
inner diameter of the pipe, conducting the water from the ram to the
house, is three-eighths of an inch.

"'I consider it very essential that the drive or supply-pipe should
be laid as straight as possible, as in the motion of the water in
this pipe consists the power of the ram.

We have seen several of these rams at work; and in any place where the
required amount of fall can be had, with sufficient water to supply the
demand, we are entirely satisfied that no plan so cheap and eff
