pipe, containing a given amount of feet, while the retailer fits the 

 joints, cuts the pipe to the given length, and packs them in suita-

The i)unip peddlers purchase at wholesale, deliver and put the 

 jnimps in the wells at a given figure per foot. When one of these 

 pumps comes from the city, the farmer must have the tools to put 

 it togctlier. A small iron vice, costing ten or twelve dollars, is 

 almost indispensable on a farm. This, with a good monkey wrench, 

 will be ample for the purpose. A pump of twenty-five feet will cost 

 about as follows : 

 Pump $r.50 



Twenty feet oi' pipo, ^0 cents 6.0U 



Cart.i^c and jiuekage 50

To this must be added freight ; and in case one prefers to drive 

 the pipe, he will need in addition a perforated point, costing two 

 to two and a half dollars, and also a driving plug, costing two dol- 

 lars, a pair of grappling tongs, and a wrench. 



By comparing the above prices with those of the local pumpman, 

 any person will know how he can best attain the end desired, and 

 the relative cost — Prairie Farmer.
