NEW LIME-SULPHUR STRAINER. according to the fineness of straining 
One of the problems arising in the desired. For lime-sulphur alone, tinned 
home preparation of concentrated lime- iron wire is preferable, while for Bor- 
sulphur is the proper handling of the deaux brass is best. Whichever ma- 
sediment. The earlier plans allowed it terial is used, it should be rinsed off

to settle after boiling, and then drew off 
only the clear liquid above. In a prop¬ 
erly made concentrate, however, most 
of the sediment is much like smoke, both 
in fineness of particles and in the ap¬ 
pearance of occupying much greater 
space than it really does. Thus we have 
found in concentrates permitted to set¬ 
tle for weeks that the sediment us¬ 
ually appeared to occupy from 30 to 50 
per cent of the total volume, when, after 
filtration, washing and drying, it proved 
really to occupy only about three to 10 
per cent. The use of the settling method 
alone therefore would result in a loss 
of 20 to 40 per cent of the efficient liquids 
in each lot of concentrate made. 
On the other hand, the occasional 
lumps and coarse particles, occurring as 
a result of impurities or defects of 
manipulation, made it unwise to disre¬ 
gard the sediment entirely, and attempt 
to use it all along with the solution. 
The usual methods of straining were 
therefore resorted to as a safeguard. It 
was found, however, that with the or¬ 
dinary types of strainers, the mixture 
of coarse and fine particles rapidly ac¬ 
cumulated on the screen and very soon 
produced an effective dam. This dif¬ 
ficulty had been partially overcome by 
placing the screens at an angle, or in 
the form of cones in the strainers. The 
fundamental difficulty, however, con¬ 
sisted in the fact that all the straining 
was done downward. All particles too 
coarse for the screen remained upon it 
and soon clogged it up completely. To 
meet the real difficulty, therefore, we 
have made a strainer that strains up¬ 
ward, the construction of which is shown 
in the accompanying illustration, Fig. 
92. In it the coarse particles fall away 
from the screen, thus permitting the 
liquid and fine particles to flow through 
without interruption. By its use the 
straining can be done immediately, with¬ 
out the loss of time involved in the set¬ 
tling method, and at the close of the 
straining it enables one to wash out 
and save all efficient liquids remaining 
in the coarse portion of the sediment, 
by running through the strainer the 
water required for the next batch. 
Fig. 92 is a new* type of strainer for 
lime-sulphur or other spray materials. 
The liquid enters at A, passes upward 
through the screen, and is carried where 
desired through a hose attached to the 
spigot. The coarse particles thus fall 
away from the screen instead of ac¬ 
cumulating on it. The material to be 
strained is poured in at A, passes up 
through the screen, and is carried where 
desired through a hose attached to the 
spigot. The exact dimensions used in 
the figure are convenient but not essen¬ 
tial. They may be increased, if very 
large lots are to be strained at a single 
time. The screen is also made remov¬ 
able in our strainer, being held down by 
four revolving cleats as shown. While 
this also is a non-essential, yet it per¬ 
mits the screen to be lifted out when re¬ 
moving the waste materials, and per¬ 
mits more than one size of mesh or kind 
of wire to be readily available. The 
mesh may run from 30 to 50 to the inch, 
thoroughly immediately after using, in 
which event it should last indefinitely.

SUCCESSFUL 
PEACH CULTURE 
Is 50 per cent. tree. Which 
means that you must have strong, 
vigorous trees to start with. No 
use putting time, fertilizer and care 
into a poor tree. 
Harrison’s Trees are strong, 
healthy and full of life. In our 
nursery the trees have the advantage 
of 2 month’s extra growth on soil 
made rich by clover and cow peas. 
This lets them mature and they 
start full of vigor and life. Plant 
such a tree and give it a fair chance 
and it will take care of you. All 
varieties—early and late. Send for
