HOW TO MEND A CHAIN PUMP.

Chain pumps are much in use at present
They are very good pumps, especially in
wells that are not protected much from the
Cost, as they seldom get frozen so as TO
prevent their operating; unless the water
in the we'll itself freezes. Sometime, how.
ever, the chain breaks or parts, and then il
has been necessary TO take up the whole
pump, in order 10 mend and replace it, A
friend told Us The other day, a method which
he has adopted in such cases with perfec,
success. The chain with its plugs, you
know, is an endless one, going over a pull
ley a, the top. down outside the pump into
