PIPE IS USED AS SPRINKLER

House Owner’s Ingenious Scheme by Which Fence Is Made to Serve a Double Purpose. Iran pipe % inch in diameter is extensively used for protecting the small--grass spots between the sidewalk and the street curb, also between the sidewalk and the building, providing the space is not large. These plots are very difficult to keep watered in dry seasons. One resident owner made a combination fence, using the pipe for the sprinkling apparatus as well as for the guard. Small holes were drilled

in a row on the inside surface of the pipe and the whole line was connected with the water supply. In building such a protection be sure to have all joints watertight and the tees plugged that are used to jonnect the iron supports for the posts.—Popular Science Monthly. ~
