PRACTICAL
IRRIGATION DEVICES.
The general attention now devot
ed to irrigation gives" interest toaK
the practical details of the business.
For the beginner and the small ir
rigator at least it may not come
amiss to mention the usual devices
for turning water from ditches. The
crudest way of course is to make a
cut in the side with a spade and
throw the dirt into the ditch to
make a dam. Some simple home-
made devices will obviate the man-
ifest disadvantage of this method.
The cloth dam is vqry widoly
used. It consists of a rectangular
piece of stout closely wovon cloth
or canvass one sjde of which is
rolled around and nailed to a cross-
piece -of wood of length ajid strength
according to the size of the ditch
and the- amount of water to be
-j dammed. Sametimes it is made
wit Ira hem across one side deep
enough to allow the cross piece to
be hrust tlirough the hem. 1 n using
the-dam place the stick across the
top of the -dry ditch where-it is
desired to -throw the water out draw
the lower edge of the cloth up the
bottom of ihe ditch and place a
little dirt on the corners. TIms
canvas must always be large enough
to have several inches lap

to be used their diameter being a
little more than 'the ditch as the
edges must be pushed down a littlo
way into the earth of the ditch
banks and bottom. They are placed
in the ditch at or near the point
where it is desired to turn out the
water. These metal dams are also
used in the opening in the banks
or ditches either to close them when
checks are full or to partly close
them and still permit part of the
stream to enter the check to balance
the soaking away. They are made
with sliding gates to be. used when
part of the stream is to be allowed-
to pass through for any purpose.
