“UNIYERSAL 
FORCE PUMPS.” 
Sate of Patent, Aug. 8th, 1876. 
After six years endeavor to fur¬ 
nish the most reliable force pumps 
in the market, the above pumps 
are respectfully offered, as the best 
results, in my judgment, of the 
public requirements. 
Their adaptability, great 
power, careful finish in de¬ 
tail, and consequent economy, 
will commend them. In case of 
accident, any part can be easily re¬ 
placed, without sacrificing the 
whole pump. They can be imme¬ 
diately converted from right to 
left-hand pumps, by swiveling 
the air-chamber and handle to any 
required angle with the spout. 
They are changeable from lift to 
force pumps. Are for the house 
or for out-door wells of any depth, 
and having close tops, can not be 
tampered with.— Also, Blunt’s 
Sand Vacuum Chambers.—A 
complete protection against sand 
or gritty water in dug or driven 
wells, pits, mines, and rivers. For hand or steam 
pumps, all sizes, from ivinch to 4-incli suction pipe.

AMERICAN CATTLE. 
Their History, Breeding, and Management. 
By LEWIS F. ALLEN. 
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.50. 
This book will be considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. The large experience ol the author 
in improving the character of American herds adds to the 
weight of his observations, and has enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claims as a stand- 
ard authority on the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderlv, methodical arrangement, condensing 
a great variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling the reader to find the point on which 
lie is seeking light, without wasting his time in turning over 
the leaves.
