on tlie outside of the barrel; Ibis is (luite diUcieut from the old 

 wa}' of loosening four or more rustj' bolts that can be reached 

 only through a small hole in the top of the barrel. 



21ie Pomona. — The Pomona pump, illiustrated in Figure 2, is 

 Manufactured by the Gould Pump Company, Seneca Falls, 

 N. Y. It is listed at |2(). It is much like the Eclipse in its 

 construction, but a change has been made for the better in 

 the plunger and cylinder. Instead of the long cylinder and short 

 plunger, with packing on the latter, a comi>aratively short cylin- 

 der provided with a stuffing-box is used, while a long brass 

 plunger passes entirely through the cylinder with each stroke of 

 the handle. With this arrangement one part of the cylinder 

 cannot wear more than another. 



Two styles of agitators are furnished with this x)ump. One 

 is worked by the pump handle as shown in the cut. The other 

 style is illustrated in Figure 3, which explains itself. Either one 

 does good work, but the liquid may be more thoroughly stirred 

 by the latter. 



The CasiCcU. — Figure 4 illustrates the Caswell pump, manu- 

 factured by the Caswell Pump Company, Sandusky, Ohio. The 

 list price is $20. These pumps have been thoroughly tested and 

 have proven to be satisfactory. One of the largest fruit grow- 

 ing firms in this vicinity has used the Caswell for several years 

 and is enthusiastic in its praise. All of the parts are made of 

 brass, and are easy of access when any repairs become necessary. 

 Either of the two valves may be gotten at by unscrewing a cap. 

 This feature is quite an improvement over the old way of having 

 to take the pump out of the barrel and all to pieces before any 

 of the working parts can be reached. The plunger has an uj) 

 and down motion, but the arrangement of the handle is such 

 that it is similar in motion to that of a horizontal pump. Thus 

 the weight of the body may be thrown on both the forward and 

 backward strokes. The pump cannot be put on a barrel, but is 

 bolted to the wagon frame, or to a frame made for the purpose, 

 as shown in the cut. The agitator is not as good as could be 

 desired, and when a larger tank is to be used some other form 

 must be devised.
