 HERE WE ARE AGAIN with a NEW CATALOGU E and a vast 
 amount of New Information on tlie subject of Spraying. : : 
 
 DO YOU Keep your house and barns insured againt fire ? Yes. 
 
 Keep your fruits insured against bugs, worms and fungus ? 
 Some will answer yes — others never heard of such insurance. 
 
 ARE YOU INSURED ? "^^^^ '^^- ^^^ y°^ provided with a first-class, 
 
 up-to-date Spray Outfit ? Do you know how 
 and when to use it ? Unless you can answer both of these questions in the 
 affirmative, then you are NOT INSURED. But you may take a policy of 
 insurance of this kind at a very low cost, and you will find it the most 
 profitable insurance that you have ever carried. 
 
 CANKER WORMS ^^^^^ t)ad last season, but it is predicted that they 
 
 will be much more in evidence the coming Spring. 
 How they did destroy the orchards! And a good Spray Pump would have 
 killed the worms and saved the fruit. 
 
 ARE YOU PROTECTED ? ^UGS, worms, blight or fun- 
 gus will have no terrors for you if you 
 are INSURED by the possession of one of our Improved Spraying Pumps. 
 
 WE WANT ^^'^ ^'^ know that fair, honest dealing and 
 
 VniTD PATDOIVAnP first-class goods are the first requisites to the 
 YUUK KAlKUiXAUti attainment of our ambition, so we guarantee 
 that every pump sent from our factory shall be just as we rep^-esent it, and 
 that it shall prove ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY, and if not so, it may 
 be returned and money will be cheerfully refunded. 
 
 WE SHALL NOT ■'■" ^^^^ pamphlet, insult the intelligence of the 
 
 reader by impossible illustrations or unreasonable 
 statements, nor do we believe it necessary to present straightforward busi-

 THIS COMPANY Commenced the manufacture of Spray Pumps in 
 1882, hence fifteen years' experience has given us a 
 vast amount of spray knowledge that our competitors who are new in the 
 business know nothing about. If you buy of us, you get the benefit of 
 what we have learned by EXPERIENCE. 
 
 PLEASE NOTICE '^^^'^ o^'^ Knapsacks are concaved to fit the back. 
 
 No others on the market are so made. We invite 
 your special attention to our EMPIRE KING and QUEEN Pumps, and 
 also to our All-brass Barrel Spray Pump, the ENSIGN, all of which have 
 PERFECT MECHANICAL AGITATORS. 
 
 WE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY Of expressing our cordial 
 
 thanks for past liberal pat- 
 ronage, and hope by faithful effort and honorable dealing to merit a continu- 
 ance of your favors. Yours truly,

 This iUustraiion shows the usual method of niountiDg the outfit ior general orchard spraying Two or more 
 extra barrels of water may be carried in the wagon to supply the pump. When the foliage on the trees is high 
 above the ground, it will be found < nveuientto use extension pipes or a long hose, to which the nozzle maybe 
 attached. By this means the sprn j cu-u be guided to any part of the tallest trees-

 J. H. Murphy, Printer, McRae Block, Pine Street, Loekport, N. Y, 
 
Automatic Agitators for Spray Pumps. 
 
 A volume might be written on this subject. A few words will explain their 
 use and value. 
 
 Paris Green, Loudon Purple or other arsenical poisons are not soluble in 
 watfer, and being so much heavier, settle quickly to the bottom of the tank, and 
 unless the spray pump is provided with an agitator, the work of spraying can be 
 but imperfectly performed. In 1883 we conceived the idea of discharging a 
 stream from the pump back into the tank for the purpose of agitation, and this 
 plan was immediately' adopted by other pump manufacturers, and is extensively 
 recommended to this day. While the plan did not give entire satisfaction, it 
 served the purpose very well until the use of Bordeaux Mixture became so gen- 
 erally adopted, then it was found that the lime used with the Bordeaux would 
 settle and harden, and that a return stream discharged from the pump could not 
 raise it from the bottom of the tank. Hence a more perfect and satisfactory 
 means of agitation was necessary. This demand resulted in the invention of our 
 Automatic Mechanical Agitator, shown and described in the following pages, in 
 connection with our Empire Queen (Fig. 62), and our Empire King (Fig. 63). 
 
 This invention is patented, and the patent owned by this Company. We 
 charge nothing extra to our customers for the right to use this agitator, but no 
 pumps except those made by this Company can be furnished with it ; any others 
 embracing this idea would be an infringement of our rights, and any persons 
 using it liable for damages. 
 
 The above was written in 1892, and this Company was the first to introduce 
 any form of a mechanical agitator, either on a barrel or Knapsack sprayer. 
 Since that date several make-shifts of agitators have been introduced. The 
 Agitktor covered by our patent is perfect in its action and still leads all other 
 forms of agitation for barrels in an upright position ; it is, however, not practical 
 for use with Knapsack sprayers, or for barrels laid on their side, hence we send 
 with our Garfield Knapsack, and with our ENSIGN barrel sprayer, the churn 
 dasher style of agitator which we have used with the GARFIEIyD for several 
 years. 
 
 The Spraying Pump is now regarded as a necessary adjunct to the farm 
 equipment. Successful fruit or potato culture is impossible without it. Like 
 other lines of trade the manufacturers have to meet competition — hundreds of 
 cheap, imperfect and useless pumps are offered as spray pumps. But the wise 
 purchaser will invest only in an implement that can be depended upon to do good, 
 efiicient, satisfactory service. • 
 
 WE DO NOT undertake to compete with the cheaper grade of spray pumps. 
 
 WE DO furnish first-class, high grade, durable pumps that are guaranteed 
 satisfactory in every respect. 
 
 REMEMBER, that True Economy is to Buy the Best. 
 
 DONT WAIT until you are ready to spray before sending in your order. 
 Delays are dangerous, and freights are sometimes slow. It is THE EARLY 
 5PRAY THAT KILLS THE WORM AND PREVENTS FUNGUS.

The EMPIRE QUEEN Spraying Pump. 
 
 With Automatic Mechanical Agitator. 
 
 This pump has a SEAMLESS BRASS cylinder, with SOLID BRASS PLUNQER, 
 BRASS VALVES, without leather or rubber, and BRASS rod, also a BRASS screw 
 spout to which hose is attached by a screw coupling. It has a large air chamber, by 
 means of which the spray is strong and continuous. It is furnished with five feet of 
 hose and our Graduating Nozzle. The Mechanical Agitator keeps the Poison and 
 Water well mixed. 
 
 This Agitator works in connec- 
 tion with cogs from the lever, con- 
 necting with a companion gear at 
 ■, the upper end of a steel shaft; at the 
 lower end of the shaft is a horizon- 
 tal wooden bar. Thus when the 
 lever is moved upward or down- 
 ward the agitator bar travels in a 
 semi-circle in bottom of cask and 
 prevents the poison from settling. 
 
 This pump is furnished with 
 suction pipe, and has also a fine 
 brass strainer at bottom of suction 
 pipe which effectually prevents 
 leaves or dirt from getting into 
 pump or nozzle. 
 
 This pump works easily and is 
 guaranteed in every respect. 
 
 PRICE of.outfit complete, without 
 barrel, with brass cylinder, 
 plunger and rod and spout, 
 also with five feet of hose and 
 spray nozzle $ 8.00 
 
 Additional Hose at 10 cents per foot. 
 
 Weight complete, as above, 45 lbs. 
 
 In mounting this pump on the 
 barrel, be particular to bore the 
 hole for the agitator rod exactly in 
 center of head. This outfit is guaran- 
 teed as to strength, durability and 
 efflciency.

The Philosophy and Science of Spraying. 
 
 That spraying is necessary, there is no doubt or question. As a science, 
 each succeeding year brings its valuable experience to aid us in a successful effort 
 to rid our orchards, nurseries and vineyards of destructive insects and injurious 
 diseases. The information contained in this Catalogue is gleaned from the careful 
 and systematic experiments of the several State Experiment Stations, as well as 
 from the National Station at Washington, D. C, and to that extent the informa- 
 tion herein contained ma}' be considered absolutely reliable. For convenience, 
 therefore, we shall divide the subject into six classes, as follows : 
 
 First — Spraying for the destruction of leaf-eating Insects — those that consume the 
 foliage on trees, plants, vines and shrubs; these Include the canker worm, tent caterpillar, 
 potato bug, cotton worm, web worm, and many others. These are leaf-eaters, and can 
 be desfcioyed with arsenites, among which Paris green and London purple are especially 
 useful for the work. 
 
 Second — Spraying for the destruction of the larvse of such insects as the codling 
 moth, curculio and other moths whose eggs are deposited in the blossom or pollen of 
 fruit, such as apples, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, etc.. either causing the Irult to fall 
 from the tree or to mature in an Imperfect condition, unfit for sale or use. These pests 
 can also be destroyed by spraying with Paris green or London purple. 
 
 Third — Spraying for the extermination of suctorial or sap-sucking species of insects, 
 such as the hop louse, chinch bug, aphis, leaf hopper, squash and cucumber bug, cabbage 
 bug, plant lice, etc. These destroy the leaves by sucking out the sap or moisture of the 
 leaf, thus depriving it of its means of life, when It withers, leaving the web of the foliage 
 blighted, dry and dead. These pests can be destroyed by spraying with the kerosene 
 emulsion mentioned elsewhere, which kills the insect by contact with its body. 
 
 Pourtli — Spraying for the destruction or cure of fungus diseases of the grape. This 
 alludes to the excrescence or microscopic growth on plants and vines which forms mould, 
 mildew, smut, etc., and produces the black and brown rot, leaf blight, mildew and other 
 diseases. The Bordeaux mixture and ammoniacal carbonate of copper solution, can 
 confidently be depended upon to prevent these diseases when properly applied. 
 
 Fifth— Spraying for the prevention of potato rot. Prof B. T. Galloway says: "Potato 
 rot is treated with the Bordeaux mixture, and the first application should be made when 
 the plants are four or five inches high and repeated every ten or twelve days. It will 
 save from 70 to 80 per cent of the crop. A quarter of a pound of Paris green added to 
 twenty five gallons of Bordeaux mixture will keep off the bugs It costs about |3 per 
 acre to put on five or six treatments. Fresh lime should be used in making the Bordeaux 
 mixture, as when air slaked lime is used it easily washes ofl' A little lime might be 
 added to the ammoniacal solution so as to see where it is put on.'' If one pound of hard 
 soap be dissolved in hot water and added to each tank of mixture, the spray will adhere 
 better to the foliage. 
 
 " Wm. Carrulhers, botanist to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, says that 
 the cause of the rot of potatoes is a very small fungus which lives as a parasite on the 
 potato plant, just as some larger fungus live on trees and gradually kill them. The 
 fungus kills and blackens the part attacked, making it look as if bitten by frost. 
 This disease can be cured by a weak solution of sulphate of copper and lime. This should 
 be sprayed on the leaves early in the season, when the tops are three or four inches high, 
 and at intervals of fourteen days until September 10th." 
 
 Sixth — Spraying for the prevention of leaf blight of the pear, apple, peach and 
 quince Experiments conducted at the several stations show conclusively that this 
 disease can be prevented by the use of the Bordeaux mixture. The first application 
 should be made when the leaves are half grown and at intervals of fifteen days until 
 September. In conclusion, it may be said that the web worm, that pest which is so 
 destructive to the horse chestnut, elm, and other fine shade trees in cities, and which 
 begins its deadly work of defoliation in July, can be destroyed by spraying during the 
 middle of the day with either London purple or the kerosene emulsion. The hop grower 
 should know that the kerosene emulsion will destroy the hop vine louse, and W. A. 
 Henrjr, of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, is authority for the statement that kerosene 
 emulsion can be successfully used for the destruction of chinch bugs on corn; while Prof. 
 H. Oarman, of Kentucky, states that strawberry leaf blight can be prevented by the use 
 of the Bordeaux mixture. See receipts and formulas on pages 18, 19 and 20.

 Gentlemen — The Mechanical Agitator used with your spray pump is a most excellent inven- 
 tion and works to perfection. The shut-off in spout is also a very great convenience and effects a 
 material saving in amount of liquid used. Very truly, HOWARD EVARTS WEED,

 Gentlemen — The Double Sprayer, with Mechanical Agitating Device, purchased from your 
 agent, was used in my orchard with remarkable success. One man directed a spray to the top 
 limbs, another to the lower limbs of same tree. The work was thoroughly and systematically 
 performed, and the result was 600 barrels of No 1 fruit. BENJAMIN MURPHY,

LJf I I |\IT^|-H IJ W No Spray Nozzle worthy of the name can throw spray 
 ■f^^-'*-^^ * l-^lV.*^« more than fifteen feet To do the most efBcient work 
 
 ^^^~~~ spray must be very fine and misty, not a deluge of 
 
 coarse, heavy drops, which immediately runs off and does no good. To secure the misty 
 spray two things are necessary — first, a pump which will give you a working pressure of 
 100 pounds; and second, a fine spray nozzle which will produce the misty spray. 
 
 l^f^W/^ It frequently becomes necessary, in order to reach the highest foliage of tall 
 trees, to use long lenths of hose, or extension pipes, and we therefore advise 
 the extension pipes and the Vermorel Nozzles for this purpose. 
 
 PI I /V\ P^ Must be scientifically designed in order to be capable of producing 
 and sustaining the necessary pressure. All of our spray pumps are 
 designed with this end in view, and all are GUARANTEED to give satisfaction. 
 
 "^Kl p Notice that some of our competitors devote considerable space to telling 
 of the faults or imperfections (?) of other styles of pumps, and they tell you of 
 several things that a pump should not have, but they do not enumerate the knuckle 
 joint in the cylinder of the pumps which they build, and which allows the metal of the 
 plunger to crowd against the cylinder, and soon cuts out the candle wick packing, 
 wears a hole in the cylinder, and makes the pump useless in one season. 
 
 WAI nP H t^Je following statement we shall dismiss the subject: One of our cus- 
 tomers who has a large orchard, and makes money every year by spray- 
 ing it, says : "I thought one of the new pumps so highly recommended must certainly 
 " be perfect, so I bought one, and used it just three days. The candle wicks kept work- 
 "ing out, the cylinder was cutting badly, and after three days I was obliged to throw it 
 " aside and go back to my FIELD pump, which I have used for a number of years with 
 " great satisfaction.''

The GARFIELD KNAPSACK Sprayer. 
 
 For Vineyards, Nurseries and Potato Fields. 
 
 Copper Tank Concaved to Fit the Back. All Brass Pump. 
 
 /' This Machine consists 
 of a copper tank holding 
 five gallons, and a pump 
 made entirely of brass, 
 which cannot corrode or 
 rust. There i? a large air 
 chamber placed inside the 
 tank for convenience, 
 which has sufficient capac- 
 ity to keep up the pressure 
 and continue to discharge 
 the spray for one minute 
 after the operator stops 
 pumping. By removing 
 five brass screws on top of 
 taak the pump can be lift- 
 ed out. The lower valve 
 is screwed to bottom of 
 cylinder, hence no trouble 
 or expense to reach the 
 valves. The tank having 
 rounded ends is stronger 
 and less liable to leak; it 
 has handles for lifting, thus 
 adding greatly to the con- 
 venience of "loading" 
 .upon the back. There is 
 a large opening on top for 
 the reception of liquid, 
 with a fine strainer set in- 
 side, four feet of best rub- 
 ber hose, and a brass pipe 
 15 inches long with a stop 
 cock is furnished with eacti 
 machine. The Nozzle is 
 our combination Vermorel 
 so highly recommended, 
 and gives universal satis- 
 faction. The Vermorel at- 
 tachment throws a fine 
 misty vapor spray, but on 
 account of its fineness 
 cannot be thrown more 
 than 15 feet. More force 
 applied only serves to make the spray finer, but by means of the combination the Vermorel attach- 
 ment can be unscrewed leaving a solid stream nozzle, which will throw to a distance of 30 to 50 feet. 
 Weight, empty, 14 lbs.; full, 60 lbs. 
 The Pump has no stuffing box and is furnished throughout with Brass plunger and valves. 
 
 PRICE: Complete as^above, $10; with Automatic Churn Dasher Agitator, $11.50.

THE ENSIGN. 
 
 A STRONG, ALL BRASS SPRAY PUMP, WITH CHURN 
 
 DASHER AGITATOR 
 
 For mounting on a barrel 
 placed in a horizontal position, 
 and adjustable to barrels of 
 any diameter. 
 
 Strong, Powerful, and war- 
 ranted to stand any pressure. 
 The operator can easily main- 
 tain a working pressure of loo 
 pounds, which is amply suffi- 
 cient for the best and most 
 satisfactory results. 
 
 This pump is fitted with 5 
 feet of best hose, 5 feet ex- 
 tension pipe, and our Double 
 Vermorel Nozzle. 
 
 PRICE, as above (not including 
 barrel,) $10.00. 
 
 THE DESIGN of this pump 
 is similar to that of our Little 
 Gem and Garfield, which have 
 given such excellent satisfac- 
 tion for the past ten years — 
 FIG. 68 this new model having been 
 
 adopted for the purpose of supplying such of our customers as prefer to have the 
 pump mounted on the side of a barrel. To all such we can say the ENSIGN is 
 second to no pump of similar construction ever made. 
 
 LIKE THE QARFIELD, this pump works on the downward stroke and has NO 
 STXJFPING- BOX. The cylinder, air chamber and discharge pipe are made of seamless 
 brass tubing, the rod and plunger are solid brass, and the lower attachment and valves 
 are made of best bronze metal. The plate which attaches the pump to the barrel, and 
 the lever and agitator rod, are iron. It has the Churn Dasher Agitator, which is the 
 only style of automatic agitation suited to a barrel placed on its side. 
 
 WE CLAin, however, that where the condition of the orchard is such as to permit 
 of using a cask in a vertical position, that our EHPIRE KINQ, with the automatic agitator 
 shown in connection therewith, STILL LEADS EVERY BARREL SPRAY PUMP on 
 the market.

The "LITTLE GEM" Spraying Pump. 
 
 It Discharges a Stream in the Pail and Keeps the 
 Poison Stirred Up. 
 
 FIG. 53. 
 
 This pump is made entirely of brass, includ- 
 ing the working parts, discharge and connecting 
 tubes, plunger, rod and air chamber ; so that all 
 parts (except the rubber hose) that come in con- 
 tact with the fluid are of brass, making it prac- 
 tical for using any of the insecticides, emulsions, 
 arsenites, fungicides, or ammoniacal mixtures 
 now in common use for saving fruit, foliage and 
 flowers from destruction by insects and fungus. 
 It is supplied with our "Niagara Nozzle," which 
 throws a fine misty spray, using only a small 
 amount of liquid to cover a large space. It has 
 two feet of vulcanized rubber hose, to which is 
 attached a metal hand tube, and to this the 
 "Niagara" Nozzle is screwed. This nozzle is 
 nicely graduated by means of a small handle, 
 and will throw a spray of any degree of fineness, 
 or a round stream to a distance of fifty feet. It 
 is also furnished with a shut- off cock. 
 
 The large capacity of the air chamber and 
 the length of cylinder, together with the power 
 of the inflating valve, enables it to throw a con- 
 tinuous stream fifty feet, or a steady spray for 
 thirty seconds or more after the operator stops pumping. 
 
 This pump is neat in design, very compact, strong and durable — nothing 
 liable to get out of repair or wear out. The entire weight of the pump complete 
 is 6 pounds ; when boxed ready for shipment, 9 pounds. 
 
 PRICE, including Nozzle, two feet of hose and foot stirrup, . . $3.50 
 
 This pump is fitted with Brass Valves. 
 
 There is no pail pump on the market equal to the ' ' lyiTTLE Gem. ' ' It will 
 do more and better work than any $6.00 pump in the United States. The nozzle 
 used with this pump is made especially for it, and cannot be used with other 
 fittings or connections. We can, however, furnish a coupling that will attach this 
 nozzle to any standard ^-inch hose coupling, for 15 cents. Additional hose at 
 10 cents per foot. 
 
 SPRAYING APPARATUS. 
 
 He who attempts to grow fruits nowadays without a spraying outfit, goes into the work handi- 
 capped. Blight and bugs, rot and rust, mold and mildew— all conspire to damage the crop, and in 
 all cases succeed to a greater or less extent if the horticulturist does not spray. The very best 
 goods in this line are made by the Field Force Pump Company, of Lookport. N. Y. Pamphlets

The Lockport Hydraulic Spray Pump. 
 
 FIG. 80. 
 
 This Apparatus is designed for spraying on an extensive scale, the air chamber 
 being 10 inches in diameter and 30 inches long, and having a capacity of about 12 
 gallons. The operator may pump up a pressure of 130 pounds and can then give his 
 entire attention to his nozzles, and to the work of directing the spray, as the above 
 pressure is suflBcient for five minutes work with two nozzles in use, or for ten minutes 
 work with but one nozzle in use, without further work on the pump lever. 
 
 The Working Parts are made of brass throughout, with brass valves and brass 
 plunger. It is equipped with four feet of one-inch suction hose and brass strainer, also 
 with two ten-foot sections of half inch discharge hose, two five-foot extension pipes, one 
 Vermorel and one Niagara Nozzle. It also has shutofif cocks with each section of hose. 
 
 PRICE : Complete as above, $32.oo.

 Dear Sirs — I received the pumps all right, and I will say the Red Jacket Potato Sprayer is a 
 fine machine and is just the thing for potatoes. I sprayed two acres in one hour, and if I had 
 them when mine came, could have sold a good many, but the season for spraying would have been 
 over before I could get them here now. ISAAC L. SHERMAN, Newport, R. I. 
 
 The Red Jacket has been tried the past season, and according to impartial testimony now in our 
 possession has done very eflfective work. The cost is, we believe, only $20.00, with $2.00 additional 
 when fitted for horse power. It is made by the Field Force Pump Co , of Lockport, N. Y., whose

 spraying Poultry Houses. — A knapsack sprav pump should be owned by every poultry 
 er. There is nothing equal to it for spraying the poultry House with dilute carbolic acid as a 
 
 disinfectant and deorderizer, or with kerosene emulsion for lice. By using an automatic nozzle, and 
 
 making a thin whitewash with lime and straining it carefully, the labor of withewashing is greatly 
 
 lessened.— .iroerican Agriculturist, November 10, 1894.

The NEW VICTOR Spraying Machine. 
 
 Operated by Horse Power, with Automatic Mechanical Agitator. 
 
 FIG. 51. 
 
 This Machine consists of a two-wheel cart, with a strongly-braced frame. The wheels 
 are three and one-half feet in diameter, with tires three inches wide. The tread between 
 the wheels is three feet. It has an oak tank holding 70 gallons. The agitator for 
 mixing the poison and water consists of a horizontal wooden bar which travels in a 
 semi-circle in bottom of tank, and is worked automatically in connection with the pump 
 by the shaft "B". This works on same principle as those shown in Figs, 62 and 63. 
 The pump is a double cylinder brass pump, with brass working parts. The machine 
 is geared at both wheels with endless sprocket chain gears, and has a double crank 
 near center of shaft which operates) pump and mixer. There is also a hand lever for 
 operating the pump by hand when not in motion, which can be attached instantly. 
 The arrangement for throwing out of gear is convenient and easily controlled by the 
 driver. (See lever "A".) The pipes and nozzles shown here are arranged for spraying 
 potatoes. Pipes and nozzles for spraying grape vineyards can be furnished when 
 ordered. When piped for vineyards four Vermorel Nozzles are sent, two on each side 
 of the machine, one above the other. By this means one row of grapes on either side 
 of the machine can be sprayed at the same time, and by placing one nozzle twenty 
 inches above the other, the higher and lower foliage on the vines are sprayed at the 
 
 (14) 
 
same time and by means of the double elbows and fittings, which we furnish, the nozzles 
 can be set at any angle desired. Two brass stop cocks are furnished so the spray may be 
 shut off on one side of the machine while it is in use on the other side. The pump is 
 furnished with a back pressure safety spout (marked "C") which will prevent unnecessary 
 strain on the pipes, nozzles or machinery. When desired for spraying potatoes, it will be 
 furnished with a pole for two horses, as the wheels m.ust straddle one row, and the horses 
 can walk between the rows. 
 
 PRICE, piped for Vineyard Spraying, with thills for one horse, with four 
 
 Vermorel Nozzles, $ 60. oo. 
 
 PRICE, piped for Spraying Potatoes, with pole for two horses, with three 
 
 Vermorel Nozzles, 65.00. 
 
 (Price does not include double whiffletrees or neckyoke.) 
 
 When orchards are to be sprayed, we will furnish two 10-foot sections of hose and 
 two Vermorel Nozzles in place of stationary pipes and nozzles at prices named above. 
 If the hose is wanted in addition to the pipes, add $3,00 to above prices. In ordering 
 please state definitely what work the machine is to do. In offering our "New Victor" to 
 the public we do so with the positive assurance that it has been thoroughly tested and 
 will not fail to give the best satisfaction. 
 
 8®"This Machine will spray fifteen acres of vineyard or twenty acres of potatoes 
 daily, and the cost for material (Bordeaux mixture and Paris green) will not exceed 45 
 cents per acre. 
 
 For 5mall Additional Expense, we can pipe this machine to spray five rows of 
 potatoes, thus nearly doubling the acreage for a day's work. 
 
 We Can Furnish a set of gearings (either with or without pump and tank) which 
 can be attached to any farm wagon. Let the horses do the work. Write for prices.

WHEN TO SPRAY, AND WHY. 
 
 FOR the prevention 
 of leaf blight 
 /\rri-t I Kttb. spray ks soon as 
 
 the leaves are full 
 ■-^^ grown with Bordeaux 
 
 mixture or amraonia- 
 cal carbonate of copper. To destroy the aphis or plant 
 lice, spray with kerosene emulsion as soon as 
 the pests appear. To destroy the codling moth, 
 canker worm and curculio, spray with Paris green or 
 London purple, one-fourth pound in 40 or 50 gallons 
 of water, soon after the blossoms fall, and again two 
 weeks later. To destroy the web worm, spray with 
 London purple or kerosene emulsion about August 
 1st to 10th, or as soon as they appear. This applica- 
 tion should be made during the middle of the day, 
 when the worms are out of their webs and feeding 
 on the leaves. 
 
 ChERRIES. 
 
 Treatment same as rec- 
 ommended for the apple. 
 
 CURRA/NTS 
 
 To destroy the 
 worms, spray 
 wit.h powdered 
 _ _, _ white hellebore, one 
 
 r.OftejFHFBRiFQ ounce in three gallons 
 
 \iUU9E.t3E.nniE.a. of water, as soon as the 
 ^——-—^—. worms appear. To de- 
 
 stroy the yellow aphis, 
 spray with kerosene emulsion early in the season. 
 To prevent mildew, use one-half ounce potassium 
 sulphide to one gallon of water. The New York Ex- 
 periment Station Report says : 
 
 * * * " Not only has every plant of gooseberry 
 sprayed this season (1890) resisted the mildew, but 
 plants kept as checks this season, that were sprayed 
 last year, have shown but slight signs of this fungus. 
 We have never been successful in preventing the 
 mildew by one application of the sulphide, but have 
 had to continue the treatment three or four times 
 each season." 
 
 TO destroy the cabbage 
 maggot, spray the roots 
 ^J\OD/\KjC» with two ounces white 
 
 hellebore in three gallons of 
 
 " water. Kerosene emulsion is 
 
 also recommended; in either case the earth should 
 be pushed back by hand and the liquid forced about 
 the roots. To destroy the cabbage worm, spray with 
 hot water at 130° Fahrenheit, or with kerosene emul- 
 sion. The green cabbage worm can be destroyed by 
 spraying with pyrethrum, two tablnspoonsful to two 
 gallons of wat'ir. 
 
 THE Arkansas Industrial 
 University at Fayetteville 
 says the following is one 
 of the most efiicient,inezpen- 
 " sive and harmless remedies 
 
 for the destruction of the cotton worm: Z^"'^- pye- 
 thrum and 1}^ gallons kerosene oil, and 1 lb. soap; 
 dissolve the latter in one gallon of boiling water, and 
 
 COTTON. 
 
 to this hot mixture add one gallon of tbe above extract 
 (pyrethrum and kerosene), and mix thoroughly, with 
 a force pump ; dilute with water 450 parts to one 
 part of the emulsion and apply to the cotton, with a 
 "Vermorel" nozzle; this extract kills by contact, 
 and, though destructive to insect life, is not in the 
 least injurious to those handling it. 
 
 A very important feature of this extract as an in- 
 secticide is its cheapness. The cost of that used 
 this season is as follows: 
 
 ^H pounds pyrethrum @ 30 cts. per lb $0.75 
 
 1^ gallons oil @.15 cts. per gal 223>^ 
 
 IJ^ gallons extract, cost 97% 
 
 I gallon extract, cost 65 
 
 1 pound soap, cost 10 
 
 In spraying, thirty gallons of the diluted emulsion 
 is generally considered the amount necessary to 
 cover an acre of cotton. This is made up at a strength 
 ot 1 part to 450 of water, therefore T5 cents will buy 
 enough for 15 acres. It is a minimum price for an 
 insecticide, and its cheapness, combined with its 
 other good qualities, is bound to make it a very popu- 
 lar remedy for many insects. 
 
 The cotton worm can also be destroyed by spraying 
 with 6 oz. London purple in 40 gallons of water. Ap- 
 ply soon as the worms appear ; 45 gallons per acre 
 will be sufficient. 
 
 (S 
 
 AN he destroyed with 
 
 ,^. the kerosene emulsion. 
 
 CHINCH BUGS Every farmer should 
 
 ON OOR/N learn to make this emulsion, 
 
 as it is a most useful insecti- 
 
 ■ — eide. It is especially valuable 
 
 for killing lice on cattle and hogs. Paris green will 
 
 not kill chinch bugs. 
 
 If the bugs are not yet in the corn, plow a deep 
 furrow along tihe side of the field; they will enter, and 
 throw into it stalks of green corn. When the bugs 
 have accumulated on the corn, sprinkle with the 
 emulsion. Put in fresh stalks and sprinkle whenever 
 the bugs accumulate. If they break over the barrier, 
 as they probably will, run a new furrow a few rows 
 back in the corn and repeat. Where thdyhave at- 
 tacked stalks of standing corn, destroy by sprinkling. 
 
 If the remedy is tried,it should be used persistently. 
 To kill one lot of bugs and then stop will dQ little or 
 no good. When the bugs threaten to destroy as 
 much as five or ten acres it will pay for one or tWo 
 men to devote their whole time to the warfare. Only 
 a part of each day, however, will be needed. Some 
 corn will be lost at best, but the most of the field 
 should be saved.

 Treatment of Black Rot of the Grape. 
 
 AMthoritff by B. T, GAI.LOWAT, A. J. COOK 
 and WM, Z>. BAUNES. 
 
 TREATMENT. 
 
 Collect all the trimmings, old leaves and rotten 
 bprnes and burn them. In the spring plow and prune 
 early. Before vegetation starts, spray the vines 
 thoroughly with the Bordeaux mixture, using the 
 Vermorel Nozzle. About ten days after spray again 
 with Bordeaux mixture, being particular to wet the 
 foliage thoroughly. A thira spraying should be 
 made after the lapse of twelve or fifteen days, using 
 the Horueaux mixture Spraying should be contin- 
 ued at intervals of twelve or fifteen days until the 
 berries begin to color, but after the third application 
 abandon the use of the Bordeaux mixture and sub- 
 stitute the ammoniacal solution of copper carbonate. 
 It IS believed that this will prove as effectual as the 
 Bordeaux for later work, without danger of spotting 
 the fruit. 
 
 BROWN ROT AND DOWNY MILDEW. 
 
 These diseases, which are caused by the same 
 fungus, occur in sections where black rot prevails, 
 and experience has shown that one treatment will 
 answer for all. In the great grape-growing regions 
 ot Ohio and New York, where the downy mildew ia 
 the principal enemy, the ammoniacal copper carbo- 
 nate solution will prove an effectual preventive. It 
 must be thoroughly applied to all the green parts of 
 the vine, being particular to make the first applica- 
 tion b&fore any signs of mihiew have appeared. This 
 treatment is strictly preventative, and it would be 
 folly to wait until the enemy appears before beginning 
 the fight. 
 
 POTATOES. 
 
 ANTHRACNOSE 
 
 Or birds-eye rot, rarely occurs alone. As a rule, it 
 ia found with black rot or mUdew. Treatment aa 
 recommended.

 ^* seven ounces to 60 Ral- 
 
 lona of water, to destroy 
 
 potato bugs (Colorado

 — beetles appear. Potato rot or 
 
 blight can be preyented by 
 
 spraying with Bordeaux mixture; first application 
 
 when tops are about half grown, repeatmg every 
 
 fifteen days until six treatments have been given. 
 
 THIS insect appears in 
 June or early in July, 
 and is very destructive. 
 Spray as soon as the

 (19)' 
 
 I ni I^R pests appear with Isorosene 
 
 L.\JKJJL-m emulsion. This is guaranteed 
 
 to kill the lice in , thirty 
 
 minutes after application. 
 
 TO destroy scale bags, boil 
 one pound of whale oil 
 soap in one-half gallon of 
 UI\/\rNL<^0. water in order to dissolve 
 
 the soap, and then add water 
 — to make it one-half pound to 
 
 the gallon. It kills all the 
 young scale bugs, and most of the old ones. We 
 throw a very fine spray in order to wet every leaf and 
 branch, using as little water as possible. Use about 
 two gallons of the preparation per tree. 
 
 TO PREVENT RUSTING OF ORANGES. 
 
 Place five or six pounds of good new lime and one 
 pound of sulphur in a barrel and add water enough 
 to slake. Then fill up the barrel and let it setlle. 
 Strainthrougha coarse gunny sack into another bar- 
 rel, and apply with a spraying pump and nozzle. 
 
 THE pear slug can easily 
 be destroyed by spray- 
 ing with Paris green 
 four ounces to 50 gallons 
 of water ,or kerosene emulsion 
 =^ as soon as it begins oper- 
 
 ations. Pear-leaf mite can be 
 destroyed by spraying with kerosene emulsion. The 
 codling moth and curculio should be treated same as 
 recommended for apple trees. 
 
 PEAR SCAB. 
 
 This is a form of fungus growth. Treatment, spray 
 early in April before the Buds have started with a 
 solution of sulphate of copper^ one pound to eight or 
 ten gallons of water, then again Just before the blos- 
 soms appear, this time using the ammoniacal carbo- 
 nate of copper solution. Two more sprayings at 
 intervals of twelve or fifteen days may be necessary, 
 if the disease is of long standing. 
 
 ESTBOY the aphis with 
 kerosene emulsion and 
 PI II AA Q '^-^ a fine spray nozzle. The 
 
 1 ■— *-"1^» euroulio can be de- 
 
 . stroyed by spraying with 3 oz. 
 
 Paris green to 40 gallons of 
 
 water. First applications 
 
 should be made as soon as blossoms have fallen, and 
 repeat at intervals of a week or ten days. Four appli- 
 cations should be sufiacient. Other enemies of the 
 plum will be destroyed by this method, but in all 
 cases be particular to keep the poison and water con- 
 stantly stirred. 
 
 From experiments carried through two seasons we 
 reach this conclusion: 1st.— That three-fourths of 
 the cherries liable to injury by the plum curculio can 
 be saved by spraying as above. 2d —That enough of 
 the plum crop can be saved by the same treatment to 
 insure a good yield. 3d.— That there is no danger to 
 health from its use. 4th.— That spraying is the 
 cheapest and most practical method of preveutine 
 injuries by these iosects. 
 
FORMULAS. 
 
 PARIS GREEN. 
 
 Paris Green 1 pound 
 
 Water 150-300 gallons 
 
 If this mixture is to be used upon fruit trees, I pound 
 of quick lime should be added, and repeated applica- 
 tions will injure most foliage, unless the lime is used. 
 Paria green and Bordeaux mixture can be applied 
 togeiher with perfect aajety. Use at the rate of 4 
 ounces of the arsenites to 50 gallons of the mixture. 
 The action of neither is weakened, and the Paris 
 green looses all caustic properties. For insects which 
 
 LONDON PURPLE. 
 
 This is used in the same proportion as Paris green, 
 but as it is more caustic it fihould be applied with two 
 or three times its weight of lime, or with the Bordeaux 
 mixture. The composition ot London purple is varia- 
 ble, and unless good reasons exist for supposing that it 
 contains as much arsenic as Paris green, use the latter 
 poison. Do not use London purple on peach or plum 
 trees unless considerable lime is added. For insects 
 which chew. 
 POTASSIUM SULPHIDE SOLUTION- 
 
 Potassium sulphide %—\. oz- 
 
 Water 1 gallon 
 
 This preparation loses its strength upon standing, so 
 should be made immediately before using. Particu- 
 larly valuable for surface mildews. 
 
 AMMONIACAL COPPER CARBONATE. 
 
 Copper carbonate 1 oz. 
 
 Amu onia enough to dissolve the copper. 
 
 Water 9 gallons 
 
 Before making the solution, the ammonia should be 
 prepared as follows: 
 
 Use 26° ammonia, and dilute with 7 to 8 volumes of 
 water. Then gradually add the necessary amount to 
 the copper carbonate until all is dissolved- It is best 
 treated in large bottles, and in them it will keep in- 
 definitely. Dilute as required. For same purposes as 
 the Bordeaux mixture. 
 
 COPPER SULPHATE SOLUTION. 
 
 Copper sulphate 1 pound 
 
 Water ; 15 gallons 
 
 Dissolve the copper sulphate in the water, when it is 
 ready for use. 1 his nhould never be anplied to foliage 
 but mugt be used before the buds break. For peaches 
 and nectarines use 25 gallons of water. For fungus 
 diseases. 
 
 How to avoid weighing the lime when pre- 
 paring Bordeaux Mixture. 
 
 In mixing Bordeaux the trouble of weigh- 
 ing the lime may be obviated by use of the 
 following simple test, and a tub of slacked lime 
 can for convenience be kept on hand : Add 
 milk of lime to the solution of copper sulphate 
 and test it with two or three drops of potas- 
 sium ferro-cyanide in solution. If enough 
 lime has been added the potassium ferro- 
 cyanide will not change color, but if not enough 
 lime has been added the potassium ferro- 
 cyanide will turn to a dark reddish-brown color. 
 By adding gradually more lime and repeating 
 the test with potassium ferro cyanide, it is 
 easy to discover when there is enough lime in 
 the mixture. Since an excess of lime does no 
 harm there is no danger of adding too much. 
 Bordeaux must be kept constantly agitated 
 when spraying in order to prevent clogging 
 the nozzle and to insure uniform strength of 
 the application. 
 
 BORDEAUX MIXTURE. 
 
 Copper sulphate 6 pounds 
 
 Quicklime 4 
 
 Water 40-50 gallons 
 
 Dissolve the copper sulphate by putting it in a bag 
 of coarse cloth and hanging this in a vessel holding at 
 least 4 gallons, so that it is just covered by the water. 
 Use an earthen or woeden vetseL Slake the lime in 
 an equal amount of water. Then mix the two and add 
 enough water to make 40 gallons. It is then ready for 
 immediate use. If the mixture is to be used on peach 
 foliage it is advisable to add two pounds of lime in the 
 above formula. When applied to such plants as car- 
 nations or cabbages it will adhere better if about a 
 pound of hard soap be dissolved in hot water and 
 added to the mixture. For rota, moulds, mildews and 
 all fungus diseases. 
 
 IRON SULPHATE AM) SULPHURIC 
 ACID SOLUTION. 
 
 Water (hot) 100 parts 
 
 Iron sulphate as much as the water will dissolve. 
 
 Sulphuric acid (commercial) 1 part 
 
 The solution should be prepared just before using. 
 Add the acids to the crystals, and then pour on the 
 water. Valuable for grape antliracnose, the dormant 
 vines being treated by means of sponges or brushes. 
 
 HELLEBORE. 
 
 Fresh white hellebore 1 ounce 
 
 Water 3 gallons 
 
 Apply when thoroughly mixed. This poison is not 
 so energetic as the arsenites, und may bo used a short 
 time before the sprayed portions mature. For insects 
 which chew. 
 
 KEROSENE EMULSION. 
 
 Hard soap ]4 pound 
 
 Boiling water 1 gallon 
 
 Kerosene 2 gallons 
 
 Dissolve the soap in the water, add the Kerosene 
 and churn with a pump for 5-10 minutes. Dilute 4 to 
 25 times before applying. Use strong emulsion for all 
 scale insects. For such insects as plant lice, mealy 
 bugs, red spider, thrips, weaker preparations will 
 prove effective. Cabbage worms, currant worms and 
 alt insects which have soft bodies, cnn also be success- 
 fully treated. It is advisable to make the emulsion 
 shortly before it is used. 
 
 TOBACCO WATER. 
 
 This solution may be prepared by placing tobacco 
 stems in a water-tight vessel, and then covering them 
 with hot water. Allow to stand several hours, dilute 
 the liquor from 3 to 5 times and apply. For soft bodied 
 insects- 
 
 No Danger Whatever. 
 
 Not only hundreds, butthousands of tons of mineral 
 poisons have been employed during the past decade by 
 farmers throughout the country, whether to protect 
 the potato crop, or cotton crop, or other products of the 
 soil, from the ruinous attacks of insects- The general 
 experience during this long period, and over the whole 
 country, is so emphatically in favor of their use, and 
 their perfect safety and harmlessness, with ordinary 
 precautions, as to render almost laughable the objec- 
 tions of the few persons who object to them. No 
 advancement, no improvement, no general benefit to 
 the human race, is ever accomplished without some 
 attendant danger, and those who inveigh against such 
 improvements as increasing the risks of life, stand on 
 the same footing as the opponents to arsenical poisons 
 as insecticides.— Report of United States Entomolng- 
 ioal Commission.

 (The Rural New Yorker.) 
 The R. N. Y. the past spring for the first time tried the effect 
 ofspraying an apple tree vfith water and Paris Green. The tree 
 (Newtown Pippin) is about 14 years old from the nursery, and has 
 borne for four seasons without maturing a single apple, so far as 
 I know, that was not injured by the codling moth. It was first 
 sprayed when the apples began to set. and the tree was not en- 
 tirely out of bloom. It was again sprayed four days after and 
 again when the apples bent from an upright to a downward posi- 
 tion. It bore a moderate crop, and, though every apple was ex- 
 amined, there was not a trace of a codling moth. The quantity of 
 Paris Green used was a level teaspoonful to two gallons of water- 
 It wan sprayed on every part ol the tree, underneath and over the 
 leaves, through a Vermorel Nozzle. The experiment was con- 
 ducted in a small way, certainly, but it proved what the R. N. Y. 
 desired to prove for itself, that thoroughly spraying apple trees 
 will insure the destruction of the codling moth without tbo 
 slightest apparent injury to the foliage.

 Field Force Pump Company: 
 
 Deak Sirs — An old orchard of considerable size, once productive and profitable, became so 
 infested with caterpillars that 1 feared I would lose it. Year after year it was as completely stripped 
 as though fire had gone thfough it. It ceased almost entirely to produce fruit. One year it did not 
 produce aii apple; another year only three barrels. At this stage of affairs your Sprayer, the 
 "Perfection," was brought to my notice. With some misgivings as to the result, I purchased an outfit, 
 and began spraying. Although myriads of caterpillars were out and others fast hatching, yet not a 
 tree was stripped or showed signs of injury. I only sprayed three times to completely clear my 
 orchard. The caterpillars would, afler eating, bunch up as usual and at first thought that none were 
 being distroyed; but I soon found they never spread out again after their first feed of poison, as they 
 died on the limbs where they clustered. As a result the orchard took a new lease of life. It pro- 
 duced no fruit that season, no fruit buds, owing to its defoliated condition from the previous year; 
 but made vigorous growth, and this year gave me 200 barrels of choice fruit, one of the largest crops 
 it ever produced. 
 
 The whole outlay for Sprayer and expense of applying the poison did not exceed $20.00. I 
 have saved my orchard, and my Sprayer will do good work for many years to come in its further 
 protection and in the destruction of potato beetles. Youis truly, ERNEST NEILY. 
 
 Blight and rot in potatoes are prevented by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. The effect is 
 very remarkable, even on potatoes not affected by rot when unsprayed. It makes a healthy, 
 vigorous foliage, retaining its vigor several weeks later than that on unsprayed potatoes, and this 
 greatly increases the yield. In one case spraying with Bordeaux mixture increased a potato crop 
 to 322 bushels per acre, while unsprayed rows yielded only 102 bushels per acre. — F'rof. Wnu C. 
 Sturgis of the Conn. Expt. Sta. American Cultivator, January Wth, 1894. 
 
 Does It Pay to Combat Plant Diseases by Spraying ? 
 
 Spraying for such plant diseases as the leaf-blight of the pear and quince, pear and apple 
 scab, the powdery mildews, the mildew and rot of the grape, and the rot of the potato, will yield 
 a handsome profit, if rightly done, for all labor and money expended. Here is an example: Eight 
 applications of the Bordeaux mixture were made to 203 grape vines to prevent rot, at a total cost 
 of 16.51. Value of the product saved by the application, $32.40. Profit, $25.89, or 397 per cent. 
 
 Another case is that of the grape-grower in New York who sprayed his vineyard of 8,450 vines 
 seven times. The total cost, including the spraying pump, was $112.52. The yield of grapes was 
 53,430 pounds, which sold for $2,181.30. Fifty vines left untreated yielded 40 pounds, which for 
 the vineyard would make a yield of only 6,700 pounds, and that of inferior fruit. Estimated profits 
 gained by the treatments, $1,800 over and above all expenses. 
 
 Two successive years' treatment with the Bordeaux mixture increased the yield in one case 
 from 1-5 of a pound per vine to 8.47 pounds per vine. 
 
 I could bring before you many such eases, but this is enough for tbe present purpose. They 
 show that spraying pays a handsome profitt— J". Lamson-Saribner.

 1 . Spraying is only one of several means or operations which the pomologist 
 must master if he aspires to the greatest and most uniform success. Other funda- 
 mentally important requisites are tilling, fertilizing and pruning. 
 
 2. Spraying is not necessary to successful results every year, but inasmuch 
 as the farmer cannot foretell the need of the operation, he should spray as a 
 matter of insurance. 
 
 3. Spraying is almost sure to be of some benefit every year, particularly 
 upon apple, pear, plum and quince trees. 
 
 4. The Canker Worm can be killed by honest spraying with Paris green, 
 one pound to 200 gallons of water.

 We have just had a great object lesson as to the value of spraying. About 250 large elm trees 
 in our town were sprayed to kill the elmleaf beetle, and possibly 75 more were left unsprayed. 
 Stand under the unsprayed trees to day and look up, and you will find the leaves riddled like a 
 sieve and already turning brown. Look up through the sprayed trees, and you will find hardly one- 
 fourth of the leaves injured, while the greater part of the foliage is green and thrifty. There could 
 hardly be a more striking illustration of the value of spraying. On one street is a huge tree stand- 
 ing bare and dead; three years ago, it was in full leaf, but the beetles have destroyed the leaves so 
 that, from trunk to limb, the tree is as dead as a post. It is now cracking down the trunk, and 
 there is danger that the next high wind wdl send it crashing down upon the nearby houses. — The

HENRYS NEW TREE PRUNER. 
 
 By referring to the illustration, it will instantly be seen that this Pruner commences 
 the cut at the UPPER PART of the limb, instead of the UNDER PART. This FACT 
 ALONE is sufficient to convince all of its great superiority, but the immense advantage 
 thus obtained can only be FULLY appreciated by personal trial. Observe the simplicity 
 of its construction, its enormous power and the ease with which the branch to be cut is 
 approached. Yon have only to push the instrument to the limb, and the forked frame 
 instantly guides itself to the cutting position.

WELL FORCE PUflP. 
 
 Field's Anti=Freezing Force Pump 
 for Deep or Shallow Wells 
 
 No. 18. — Simplest and best Well Force Pump 
 made. Weight, without set length, 54 pounds. 
 It is adapted to all the uses of a common 
 pump, and having a large air chamber, is 
 capable of forcing water through hose two or 
 three hundred feet. With three feet of hose 
 and discharge pipe it will throw water 60 feet, 
 thereby affording a splendid protection against 
 fire. Every pump has a brass tube for attach- 
 ing hose. 
 
 By set-length we mean the connecting pipe 
 and rod between the base of pump and cylin- 
 der, which is placed below freezing point. A 
 vent hole, 3 feet below the surface, allows the 
 water to run out of the pump, and effectually 
 prevents freezing. When wells are more than 
 30 feet deep, the cylinder should always be 
 placed within 20 feet of the bottom of the well. 
 
 This pump is provided with a brass screw 
 in air chamber. When the pump is being 
 used for common pumping the screw should 
 be loosened ; this lets the air escape, takes off 
 the pressure, and the water will come with a 
 steady, even flow. When desiring to force 
 the water through hose, set the screw up tight 
 and the pump will throw a stream sixty feeT. 
 
 This pump is adapted for wells of any depth 
 from 10 feet to 150 feet deep. 
 
 If you need a well pump write us for prices, 
 stating depth and diameter of your well. 
 
 These Cylinders have the long water grove 
 plungers.
