The "lyittle Gem" Spraying Pump. This Pump is 

 made entirely of brass. The working parts, discbarge and 

 connecting tubes, Plunger, rod and air chamber, so that all 

 parts (except the rubber hose and valve packing) that come in 



contact with the liquid, are of brass, making it practical for 

 using any of the insecticides.

 der, 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 design, very compact, strong 

 and durable, nothing liable to get out of repair or wear out 

 that could not be replaced at a cost of a few cents. The en- 

 tire weight of the pump complete is 4 pounds. When boxed 

 ready for shipment, seveu pounds. The price, with both 

 nozzles, including an iron stirrup for holding it firmly in the 

 pail with the foot, is $5.00.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE SPRAYER. 



To produce a heavy spray work the plunger quickly. The 

 leather on the plunger must be kept soft and pliable by using a 

 good quality of oil. After oiling shove the cap cover over the 

 leather and leave it there until the rim of the cap is entered 

 into the air chamber. To fill the tank remove the screw cap. 

 One filling sprays 600 hills.
