  Peanut
Peanuts are consumed chiefly as roasted seeds or peanut butter in the United States compared to use as oil elsewhere in the world.
The peanut crop matures after 7 to 9 weeks in the soil, which is indicated by maximum levels of protein, oil, dry matter, and presence of darkened veining and brown splotching inside the pod.
Peanut responds well to residual soil fertility from previous crops in the rotation, but usually has a low response to fertilizer in soils with medium to high fertility levels.

 Throw Out Your Buckets by Lynne Belluscio
In fact in Le Roy, in 1834, the Le Roy Gazette, printed rules that had been passed by the village board: "That every bell ringer of a public bell in said village shall immediately ring their respective bells for twenty minutes unless the fire shall be sooner extinguished.
Any bell ringer offending against the ordinance shall forfeit three dollars, and a premium of one dollar shall be given to the ringer of any church bell who shall give the first alarm." So imagine the bells ringing, and people coming out of their houses to look for the fire.
More than likely it was a small hand pumper that required four to eight men to pump the water from the tank (or tub as it was called) through a nozzle or hose.
