FALL MANAGEMENT. 
TITE FCMIGATOR. 
I am indebted to a communication from J. M. 
Weeks, published on page 151 of the Cultivator for 
1841, for this method. The description of the fumi- 
gator that I constructed will vary a trifle from his, 
but will retain the principle. I obtained a tin tube 
four inches long, and two in diameter. Next, 1 made 
a stopper of soft wood, three inches long, to exactly 
fit one end of the tube when driven in half an inch, 
and secured it by little nails driven through the tin. 
Through the centre of this stopper I made a hole 
one-fourth of an inch in diameter. To prevent this 
hole filling up, the end in the tube was covered over 
with wire cloth, made a little convex. The end of 
this stopper was cut down to about half an inch, taper- 
ing it from the tin. For the other end a similar piece 
of wood is fitted, though a little longer, and not to be 
fastened, as it must be taken out for every operation. 
The outer end of this is cut down into a shape to be 
taken into the mouth, or attached to the pipe of a 
bellows. (I fitted them in the turning lathe, but have 
seen them fixed very nicely without.) It could all be 
made of tin ; but then it is necessary to use solder, 
which is liable to melt and cause leaks.
