 capacity, and well suited for the small orchard. It has the 

 advantage of being comparatively cheap and of doing very 

 satisfactory work.

There are two ways of mounting the pump in the barrel, 

 namely on the side of the barrel and on the end of the barrel. 

 The side mounting of the pump seems to have a slight 

 advantage over the end mounting in that the sprayer sets 

 low down and is not in the way of low branches. There is 

 also no danger of tipping the barrel over when mounted on 

 the side.
