Abstract: A practical, economical and self-sustaining irrigation system for extensive arid regions utilizes a network of hydraulic ram fitted gravity-feed water tanks connected in series. Ram exhaust water is fed into irrigation pipes or ditches along the system. Ram elevated water in the tanks of the system is gravity fed from each tank to the next downstream ram. The first ram in the system is fed from a natural water source or dam. A complete system may include several natural or dammed water sources each feeding a downstream network of rams and tanks. Electrical power can also be generated in the system at least at the initial and secondary sources of water.

Abstract: An improved process for producing a palatable liver product having utility for use in treating certain blood diseases is disclosed. The process of the invention involves the reduction of the bulk of the liver without any loss of its essential components and comprises the steps of initially cooking the liver and thereafter subjecting the liver to a series of certain grinding and vacuum treatments. The resulting product may be encapsulated and/or pressed into tablets of a convenient size for human consumption. The processed liver may also be combined with a suitable binder and pressed into biscuit form. The liver product is very palatable, easily digested, and is particularly suitable.
