The Buckeye is porcelain lined, and it is said to be 

 very efficient. The simplicity of this barrel is to be 

 seen by a glance at Fig. 81. Another piston pump is 

 the Frizell, and there are many more of equal merit 

 and efficiency. One of the best 

 pumps is the Allweiler — known to 

 the trade as the Berlin — and for very 

 deep wells and the wind engine it is 

 to be commended. It is an oscillating 

 force-pump, and is illustrated in Fig. 

 82. These pumps will draw water 

 from twenty to twenty- eight feet, and 

 will force it up from one hundred to 

 three hundred feet, according to the 

 size of the pumps. These pumps are 

 worked by a lever which may be 

 placed in either a vertical or hori- 

 zontal position by hand as well as 

 by steam or windmill power. They 

 were awarded the highest diploma 

 and medal at the Columbian Exposi- 

 tion. One of these pumps was put 

 in as a public experiment at Good- 

 land, Kansas, and raised a four-inch 

 stream one hundred and eighty feet, furnishing enough 

 water to irrigate fifteen acres. The whole plant cost 

 three hundred and eighty dollars, including forty dol- 

 lars for the reservoir. 



In rotary pumps there are several good styles. The 

 Wonder pump is quite popular when worked with a 

 gasoline engine and belt power. It is very simple in 

 construdlion and operation, having no valves. It does
