this character can be purchased from the Nixon
Nozzle and Machine Co., Dayton, o. 500, the
Field Force Pump Co, LOckpOFt, ". Y. fSl2J,
the Gould Manufacturing Co., Seneca Falls,
" Y. $50.
The best uozzles are tho Cyclone or Riley
nozzle which can be bought from ThOs. SOmer-
Vile & Sons, Washington, ID. G. go cents, or
the Field Force Pump Co, LockpOTt, N. Y,
and the Climax nozzle, which can be bought
from the Nixon Nozzle and Machine Co, Of
Dayton tSI.
Vim. Stahl, Quincy, H., also manufactures
an excellent spraying machine.
Proper pumps already mounted on tanks or
barrels ready for use can be purchased from
either the Field Force Pump Go. or the Gould
Manufacturing Go.
Any hOp-gTOwer, however, can readily pro-
pare the apparatus Is shown on Plate ]. after
the pump anI nozzle have been purchased.
The bench TO which the pump is tasted i5
made TO fit tho round of tho barrel and hooks
down To the sides aud ends. as shown in the
plate. The pump is bOlled 10 this bench and
then inserted through an opening in the barrel
IL is not matter OF any Importance how the
barrel or frank IS supported on the boat or sled,
but skid can easily be made consisting Of
by 4 inch sesntlng two feet six inches long
The bottom pieces are placed Is inches apart
and the Top pieces IL inches apart and bolts are
put through each corner. The top pieces should
DO rounded Oh the inner side to meet the
rounded sides Of the barrel. To the bottom Of
the pump cylinder a flexible hose is fitted Of
sufficient length to reach % the bottom Of the
tank. This supply pipe should always be COW
cred with a strsliHer The method Of DRAWN
the tank over the Geld by means Of a fatbOat
is cheap and convenient. A barrel mounted
| upon runners can easily DO drawn by one horse
/ over cultivated ground. All tanks should be
I provided with a strainer through which the
| liquid is poured. This is Of considerable i'm
| pGrtance aud will help very much 10 prevent
I the clog.iag Of the n0zzlcs. The ordinary spray
/ ing pumps are fitted up with 1e-hsIf TO three
I Guarter.inch heavy hose: this. however, is too
I heavy, aud practicable length Of 10 cannot be-
I used. II is better 20 buy COOL cloth insertion
/ three eighths OF One-g quarter inch rubber tubing
I which Will answer every purpose and will be
! light enough 20 be- elevated on pole "a bam-
/ boo fishing rod will answer TIE purpose aud
will be the lishte7t substance which can be
, fOundJ as shown in the plato.
To revert once more to the subject Of nOzzies,
/ 10 is very important 70 spray the undersides OF
I. tine leaves and the undersides Of the lower
/ leaves cannot well be reached by an end-Gis-
charge nozzle like the Climax. The Cyclone OF
Riley nozzle is a side-dischIrge nozzle, aud by
Us use this kind Of spraying can be readily
I done.
II will be somewhat expensive 20 construct
an apparatus like the above, but it will last for
a number Of years If well made, and will be APP
plicaible 10 many other uses.
| I'm small hop yards q knapsack pump viii
answer the purpose quite rs well. Three very
good and substantial ones are on tho market

featured by Atkinson & Trusheim POPS Four
teenth street Washington. d. g., for Sl4 the
/ Knap,ack manufactured by the Field Fore,
Pump Co.. OF Lockport, n. Y, sells for the same
price, and the Eureka. made by Adam Weaver
