pumps and power is dispensed wi th. Attached to the cart 

 should be a liquid spreader such as adopted on most city 

 street-sprinkling wagons. It is merely a semi-circular 

 trough at the end of a pipe, through which the wak-r 

 Hows. On being freed from the pipe the water is forced 

 downward, then it is spread in a thin sheet regularly 

 over an even area. Straw, saw- 

 dust and other refuse passes 

 through. . Such a cart is useful 

 also in watering crops in dry 

 weather. Filled with water it 

 may be left in the center of the 

 lawn or garden, and the whirl- 

 lawn sprinkler and hose at- 

 tached to it play all 

 night over the 

 grass, strawberries, 

 etc. The advan- 

 tages it presents 

 are numerous. It 

 may be only partly 

 filled with the liquid fertilizer where the stuff is too 

 strong, and its contents diluted with water before dis- 

 tribution. This plan is often advantageous where the 

 liquid is hauled up a steep hill. We can see where this 

 cistern could be made to discharge its contents into a 

 lateral of running irrigation water, and the manure car- 

 ried direct to the land in this way. Some such scheme 

 will have to be devised.
