 ing Pump, made entirely of tin. This is not an ordinary 

 single barrel s) T ringe, but a regular force pump. The cyl- 

 inder is provided with a suction valve, and the discharge 

 pipe is sufficiently wide to act as an air chamber, thereby 

 enabling the pump to throw a continuous stream. The pis- 

 ton is connected with the wooden lever by means of a 

 heavy iron rod. The nozzle is attached to the air chamber 

 by means of a short piece of rubber hose, thereby enabling 

 us to spray in all directions. This sprayer is substantially

 using any of the insecticides. The large capacity of the air 

 chamber and length of cylinder, together with the power of 

 the inflating valve, enables it to throw a continuous steady 

 stream fifty feet, or a steady spray for thirty seconds or more 

 after the operator stops pumping. The pump is neat in de-

 out of repair or wear out that could not be replaced at a cost
