5b MAIXE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIOX. 



The Barrel. A kerosene barrel holding about fifty gallons, 

 or a hogshead holding lOO gallons is the best tank. It can be 

 placed upon the side or stood on end, and a small opening made 

 in which to place the pump and to stir the liquid. 



The Wagon. Any low wagon with wide tires is suitable. For 

 convenience in turning, a two-wheeled cart is to be preferred. 



WHERE MAY APPARATUS BE OBTAIXED ? 



Pumps and nozzles are made by many reliable firms and may 

 be obtained at comparatively low cost by ordering directly from 

 the manufacturers. With so many good pumps on the market, 

 it is not easy to state which is the best.

 following is a partial list: ]\Iorrill & ]\Iorley, Benton Harbor, 

 Mich. ; The Field Force Pump Company, Lockport, X. Y. ;
