Insecticides 



That Will Increase 



Your Crops 



The necessity for spraying fruit 

 trees, vegetables and plants is now 

 generally recognized by the up-to- 

 date fruit grower or farmer. Good 

 business principles demand systematic 

 spraying. 



The important thing in spraying is 

 to know what insecticide or fungicide 

 to use.

"Twelve years' wear 

 not one cent's worth of Repair." 



A customer writes: "The 6 inch Ericssofi Hot-Air Pumping Engine furnished to the writer 

 by you about twelve years ago has given excellent satisfaction ; not one cent's worth of repairs 

 has ever been needed by it." 



Certainly no stronger statement could be 

 made as to the wearing quality of a Hot-Air 

 Pump. This durability is the result not only 

 of care in manufacture, but is largely due to 

 its simplicity of construction and operation. 

 The Hot-Air Pump differs from a steam-engine 

 in that it is a machine of few parts and of low, 

 not of high power; the power generated being 

 just sufficient for its particular purpose, i. e., 

 the pumping of water ; therefore its parts are 

 subject to no pressure, such as is present in a 

 steam-engine. With ordinary care, such as 

 oiling, cleaning occasionally, and the replacing 



of worn washers, a Hot-Air Pump will outlast 

 a generation of users. Thus purchasers are 

 assured freedom from expensive repairs, which 

 are the usual accompaniment of all elaborate 

 or intricately constructed machines. 



The Hot-Air Pump is small, inconspicuous 

 and portable. It can be tucked away in a 

 corner of your cellar, in the barn or wood shed; 

 no elaborate structure is required, such as a 

 wind-mill tower. You simply lay a pipe to the 

 nearest or most convenient well, spring or run- 

 ning brook and there you are, with your water 

 delivered in abundance every day in the year.
