THE BARREL PUMP 



For spraying fruit trees, it is necessary to have a 

 good barrel pump. Tliis may be mounted on wheels and 

 drawn by hand or placed on a one-horse wagon (Fig. 29) ; 



the latter plan is the most satisfactory. By using a long 

 section of hose, the barrel pump will be found even more 

 satisfactory for garden work than th©' knapsack. TOe 

 cost of the barrel pump is very little more than that of 

 the knapsack, and when one tal#« into consideration 

 the fact that ten times more work can be done with the 

 barrel pump in one day than could be done with the 

 knapsack, the purchase price cannot be considered.
