SCHROETER S GRATBR. 



Horse Radish and Cocoanut Graters* 



Will grate from 10 to 15 pounds an hour of Horse Radish, Cocoanut or similar 

 substances. They are easily operated by one person, who turns the crank with 

 one hand and holds the root with the other hand, against the revolving cylinder. 

 The grated material falls into the drawer, shown in the cut. We furnish the ma- 

 chines with two kinds of cylinders the cheaper being covered with heavy perfo- 

 rated tin; the better has a wooden cylinder studded with steel pins. If cocoanut 

 exclusively is to be grated, you should so state in ordering, as the cylinder we send 

 for the latter purpose grates considerably finer. The mounted machine, with 

 treadle and balance wheel runs faster, easier and steadier, and if the quan- 

 tity of work justifies it, the latter machine should be chosen.

Four-Row Horse Power Potato Duster. 



Dusts 4 TOWS of potato vines as fast as the horse walks, covermg 20 

 to 40 acres in one day. With one horse it covers a greater area, more 

 satisfactorily and with less Paris Green than the wet process with two 

 horses. The reservoir holds about 30 lbs. of lime or 50 lbs. of Green. 

 An agitator and fan attachment blows the powder through 4 tubes ad- 

 justable as to width and height. The quantity can be regulated from a 

 pound to 15 lbs. per acre, which is blown through the vines, thus thor- 

 oughly distributing the powder which settles underneath the foliage as 

 well as on top. Any dry insect or blight powders may be applied with 

 it. The wheels are adjustable for wide and narrow rows. 



The " Beetle " Duster works easily, is very simple, no valves or nozzles 

 to bother with, A boy of 15 can operate it successfully. Price $60,00. 



THE STANDARD SPRAYER. 



The Schanck Sprayer, not the cheapest but the best spray cart on the 

 market for all low crops such as potatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, melons, 

 etc. It distributes any liquid solution in a fog-like mist, which settles 

 over and under every leaf and stem of the crop, effectually killing 

 all bugs, worrns. lice oi other insects, or prevents the spread of rust, 

 mildew and similar blights, according to the insecticides or fungicide 

 used in solution. It does the work as rapidly as a horse can walk. 

 spraying the width of eight rows of potatoes at one time and covering 

 forty acres in one day. It is exceedingly simple, can be operated by a 

 boy; has no pump, pipes, blowers or cogs to get out of order or rust and 

 no nozzles to clog up, the liquid does not even need filtering, Thr 

 barrel holds enough to cover 2^ to 3i acres and is evenly balanced, no side draft nor weight on the horse whether the barrel is full or empty. The spray on eithei 

 Bide may be shut off if necessary to finish a field and it may be thrown in or out of gear at will when turning ends of furrows. The track of the wheels is adjustable 

 to suit different widths of row. It does not throw any liquid on horse or driver. Every trucker will 

 find this a most valuable implement, often saving his crops and greatly increasing his output and im- 

 proving the quality. It 's no new and untried theory but is extensively used by truckers to the 

 exclusion of all other horse spray carts where this has been introduced. Price, net,'$75.00.

Will There be Frost To-night? 



oe THE PAGOSCOPE ^ 



Will Tell You. 



The Pagoscope. a frost predicter, just invented by a 

 Frenchman for foretelling, early in the evening, whether 

 there is or is not to be a frost during the night, ought to be 

 a money-saver for gardeners and fruit-growers. It consists 

 of a wet and dry bulb thermometer, with water cistern and 

 vertical movable hand which passes over a chart constructed in the centre of the instrument which shows at a glance if 

 there is Ukely to be frost during the night, and enables precaution to be taken to avoid damage, etc. The whole frame- 

 work is made of cast zinc and therefore will be found most durable. 



DIRECTIONS. — Place the instrument in an isolated shaded position facing North, having previously filled the cistern 

 with water. The best time to take observations is about half an hour after sunset. 



The method of taking the observations is as follows; Read the degree of wet bulb thermometer, then move the index 

 hand so that the point is set on the corresponding degree at top of the chart, then read the degree shown by dry bulb, look 

 on the horizontal lines corresponding to that degree and follow same until its junction with the index hand, if this is shown 

 on green part of chart there is no danger of frost, if on yellow portion there is a possibility of it freezing, and if on red there 

 is no doubt but that it will freeze during the night. Price SIO.OO each.
