Homemade Potato eprayer.

Homemade Potato sprayer.
The sprayer illustrated herewith is
inexpensive and easily made. First, a
heavy iron rod about IN inches thick
ael 6Ea feet long must be procured
for all axle. This may be taken from
an old grain drill, or elsewhere, and
adapted to the present use. For
wheels, take those of the hay-rake,
as a high wheel makes the flow strong
er. The shafts should be about eight
feet long. They are bolted to the axle,
five feet apart, and fastened securely,
that tn, rod may not turn. Two pieces
OF wood, three by three inches and
three and one-half feet long, are bolted
across the shafts II or Is inches apart,
one Of them being placed a trifie back
of the axle, and the other farther in
front of it. The singletree Is attached
to a third crosspiece farther forward.
Two more pieces, two by six inches
and two feet long. are bolted edge
wise across, the 3x3-inch pieces, two
feet apart. These pieces are followed
out at the top so that a barrel will
rest on them securely. Two stopcocks
are inserted into the barrel opposite the
buns, and two pieces Of hose six feet
long. terminating in a fine spray nozzle,
attached to them. The bunghole Is
turned upward and a funnel used in
filling it. The horse walks between
the rows Of potatoes, the man follow
ing and holding a nozzle in each hand
above the row, on either side. When
turning at the end of a row, the hose
may be laid across the barrel to stop
the flow. The pressure of the liquid
in the barrel, il well elevated, Is suffi-
cient to produce a steady flow, and the
tolting of the machine will keep the

Garrison 10 Officially Dead,

According to the records of the War
Department, j. L. Garrison, who served
for some months in the Seventh West
Virginia regiment at the outbreak Of
the war, has been dead for thirty-three
years. The records show that he died
in hospital during the winter of 1862
63. But Mr.. Garrison comes forward
to say that he did not die in the winter
Of 1929, nor at any subsequent time.
He asserts that he is alive and resides
at Pollytown, Green County, Pennsyl-'
vania, and he has interested Congress-
man Dooner Of West Virginia to intro
duce q bill In the House to officially
recognize his existence and put tho
records of the War Department
straight.
When Garrison enlisted, In Septem-
Der, 1851, aged about %, his father was
dead, and he left his mother and a
younger brother to manage as best they
could the family estate of 700 acres.
Things did not go well at home, the
mother became sick, and the young re-
cruit, in the summer of 1852, by ar
rangement with the officers of his regi-
ment, employed a substitute and went
back to the farm. The substitutes
name was John Kennedy, but he serv-
ed under the name of j. L. Garrison,
and when he succumbed to disease in
hospital the following winter, not John
Kennedy. but ]. L. Garrison was mark
ed az dead on the rolls Of the regiment.
So the records of the regiment remain
to this day in the files Of the War De-
partment.
Garrison Is now So years of age, and
would like to have the record correct
ed and an honorable discharge issued
to him by the Secretary Of War. Sew
eral OF his neighbOrs at Pollytown, who
served with him in the Seventh West
Virginia Regiment, have made affda-
Wit that Garrison employed a substi-
tute. az above stated; that the substi-
tute answered to Garrison's name, and
when the substitute died Garrison was
marked as dead on the regimental rolls.
