water well

I have a old drilled well about 85 feet deep. It has not been used in about 25 years. It has 2 pipes coming out of the casing. One 1" and another 1 1/4". My question is how does this type of well work. Does the pump push water down one pipe to make water come out of the other? My pump no longer exist. I was wondering if I could force air down one pipe and get water out of the other. I connected water hose to one pipe but it seems to be stopped up somewhere down the line. Is there something I can pour down in the well to clean the strainer or whatever's down there? I plan to use the water for plants.John
