piston s Patent Windmills 



—AT THE ROYAL SHOW.- 



At tliu recent Royal Show a tine collection of Windmills was exhiV)ited by James Alston, 

 of Queen's Bridge, Melbourne. Mills of all diameters, from 6 ft. to 25 ft. were shown 

 at ^^•ork, suitable to all requirements of farmers or stock raisers, the small Mills being 

 suitable for lifting moderate supplies from shallow wells, while the larger sizes are capable 

 of dealing with almost any depths. A splendid Mill, 25 feet diameter on a 50 -ft. Steel 

 Tower, working an 18" pump, and throwing a stream of water of about 15,000 gallons jser 

 hour, attracted much attention. 'Pliis, we believe, is tlie largest Mill ever shoAvn on the 

 Show Ground. Alston's Patent Steel Windmills have all the most up-to-date improve- 

 ments in their construction. Pumps of many descriptions were shown, including the latest 

 Draw Plunger Pumps for bore use, which admits of the plunger being drawn without 

 disturbing the pipes in tlie bore.
