The Kirke Automatic Lawn and Garden Feeder Blight Aboiisher 
Merely slip a cartridge for either purpose in the container, attach to the hose and water as usual. 
This Kirke System of liquefying and applying in mild solution cartridges of concentrated fertilizers, insecticides or fungicides, through the hose 
while watering the garden and lawn, is a simple, practical and most efficient method. The feeder is a nickel-plated durable metal affair, about 6 inches 
long by 2M inches in diameter with strainer in the outlet end; the top unscrews for the insertion of cartridge. It is fitted to couple to any % -inch garden 
hose, either at the faucet or nozzle end. The cartridges—clean and odorless—have been compounded by an expert agricultural chemist and contain in 
concentrated slowly soluble form the various ingredients—strictly high grade and scientifically blended for the purposes designed, so that when the hose 
is turned on the cartridge gradually dissolves and impregnates the outflowing water with a proportion of plant food, insect destroyer or fungus 
remedy. Any cartridge (excepting the Bordeaux) may be quickly removed and replaced from

This is the famous “Skinner Irriga¬ 
tion System” on wheels and therefore 
portable. This sprinkler may be placed 
and moved anywhere on the lawn or in 
the garden where it can be connected 
to the garden hose. The water is dis¬ 
tributed evenly and gently in a fine 
spray. The Skinner Lawn Mist Irri¬ 
gator is a length of galvanized pipe into 
which are fitted about every three feet 
apart, clusters of small spray nozzles 
so arranged that the distribution of 
water i$ entirely uniform the entire 
length of the pipe—and over a width 
of from 16 to 20 feet according to the 
volume of pressure of the water supply. 
A 12-foot section of pipe is fitted to 4 
sets of nozzles, a 15-foot section to 5 
sets and an lS-foot section to 6 sets of 
spraying nozzles. A 15-foot length 
operating under a 30-lb. pressure will 
distribute about 5 gallons of water per 
minute, other lengths in proportion. 
Where the water supply and the pres¬ 
sure is sufficient two or more lengths of 
pipe may be connected and operated 
at one time and if the extra lengths are 
fitted with our “flexible couplings” the 
pipes may be placed at different angles 
as may be desirable. It works best with 
a water pressure of 30 lbs. or satisfac¬ 
tory results are given with pressures as 
low as 20 lbs. Each section is fitted to a
