This Pump has just been 

 patented in America and 

 England, and far excels any 

 punip he'-etofore invented ; 

 its peculiarities are sinip/ic- 

 ity. power and cheapness, — 

 Its simplicity: there is noth- 

 ing about it but iron and 

 cast metal, and it can be 

 taken apart and put up by 

 any one, and will last for an 

 age. It has the power to 

 raise water luindreds o feet. 

 This pump is from 24 to 30 

 inches in diameter and must 

 set in the well or water.— 

 Water rises in i: by hand 

 100 feet per minute! For 

 cheapness: a No. 1 pump 

 (for all ordinary pur()oses) 

 complete, and fifty feet of 

 pipe, costs hu\ $30! The 

 handle at the top, turns the 

 pipe and pump, and every 

 revolution fills the cylirder

 labor. It is peculiarly adapted to deep wells, railroad 

 stations, mining and manufacturing purposes. This

Col. W M. B. Stouohton : — Dear Sir : I take 

 pleasure in recording here my impressions of 

 the performance of your Plow (Rich's Iron-beam 

 Patent) at Cobham to day. The work was far 

 more thorough and complete than that of any 

 plow I ever saw in operation before. The fur- 

 row opened by it was very generally 13 inches 

 deep and about 20 inches vnde in hard close 

 land, and most effectually and perfectly cleaned 

 out, none of the sod earth falling back into it. 



The trial of the plow was witnessed by many 

 of my neighbors, among Avhom I will mention 

 Messrs. Frank K. Nelson, J. H. Genell, J- H. 

 Lewis, C. B. Hopkins, Thomas Watson, of Lou- 

 isa, &c., all practical men and most excellent 

 judges of agricultural implements, and there 

 was but one opinion among them as to the su- 

 periority and unexceptionable performance of 

 your Plow. 



YV ishing you equal success elsewhere in ma- 

 king this valuable implement favorably known 

 to our agricultural brethren, I remain yours, 

 truly, WM. C RIVES. 



Extract from a letter from a farmer in Am- 

 herst County, dated March 14, 1856. 



I have this evening made a trial of the Plow 

 you sent me. It meets my highest expectations, 

 too much cannot be said in its praise. Ap ly
