A >T' favorite device Is the shaduf. operated i by men, or the sakiyah, operated by i cxen. The shaduf consists of a leathei m bucket, holding about two and a half w gallons, suspended from a weighted pole fastened to a horizontal rod be tween two uprights. When a man'* weight is thrown upon the bucket the ; 18 latter is lowered into the water, and n upon being filled the weighted pole ,a lifts the bucket high enough to allow it to be emptied Into a trough or cfean nel.
