heretofore in many cases accepted as a standard. Still 60 per cent, 
is easily within the reach of careful and conscientious manufacturers. 
Even the most casual observer who notes the different reports on 
the use of Arsenate of Lead discovers at once that there is no standard 
Arsenate of Lead in the minds of various reporters. All of the evi¬ 
dences indicate that very often one man says he got good results 
from using one pound of Arsenate of Lead and another insists that 
2 pounds to 50 gallons of water were absolutely essential. The 
difference in results may probably be attributed to different strengths 
in the Arsenate of Lead used. Their chemist has prepared a paper 
on this subject of determining a proper standard for Arsenate of 
Lead which will soon be published. The guarantee label of 60 per 
cent, is, we believe, a most important step and one that will mean a 
great deal to fruit growers. 
The latest type of horse power and gasoline power machines 
made by the Spramotor Company of London, Ontario, are worthy of 
close attention and study. The horse-power machine is capable of 
doing a great range of work. Having a capacity of 12 nozzles at 12 5 
lbs. pressure, makes it possible to spray all Small and medium sized 
trees, such as apples, pears, plums and peaches, perfectly with one 
man, and a boy to drive. The plan is to use one line of hose with an 
extension pipe of suitable length and an eight-nozzle cluster or 
'smaller for small trees, and, all except the largest apple trees, can be 
sprayed in passing. The large air chamber (12 gallons capacity) 
gives ample reserve to stop for short intervals at each tree if desired. 
The motor being of large capacity will pick up the pressure from tree 
to tree, not possible hitherto. By a simple change of spray rods the 
rig can be changed from a tree spraying rig to spray vineyards, 
potatoes, or grain crops. 
The extent to which this coihpany has gone to make the sprayer 
under the control of the driver is commendable. As the pressure is 
regulated automatically, no attention is required in that respect, 
yet a means is provided to throw in and out of gear by hand. The 
stand pipes that spray the grapes are so arranged that they can be 
raised or lowered or made wider or narrower, each independent of 
the other, thereby providing a means of keeping the nozzles the 
right height and distance from the vines, all of which is under the 
control of the driver without moving from his seat.' 
The new features in the way of nozzles and accessories all tending 
to greater effectiveness and economy, show great activity and 
invention. 
The “New Way” to take care of fruit trees in large orchards, 
which is rapidly becoming a favorite line with dealers situated in 
fruit-growing sections of the country, is by the use of the “New 
Way” Power Sprayer, manufactured by the “New Way” Motor Co. 
of Lansing, Mich. We show herewith two illustrations of this 
How the “New Way” System Looks, 
sprayer, which has proven its adaptability to all classes of spraying, 
not only in fruit-growing districts as suggested above, but in cities 
and towns where it is used to spray the shade trees. The work of 
years is often destroyed in a short time by insects, causing almost 
irreparable loss; and it has been found to be a profitable investment 
by the municipality, or by private persons, to own one of these 
“New Way” Power Sprayers, to take care of the trees on the streets 
and private grounds. 
A concern of standing and a good one, twenty-five years in busi¬ 
ness—The N. N. Lenox Sprayer Co., 165 W. 23d St., New York, 
makers of many kinds of spraying apparatus for the trade, and spray¬ 
ing material which the San Jose Scale do not like very much for 
reasons fully explained in their page advertisement, are offering the 
real Lenox spraying outfit, built on merit; particularly adapted for 
use on tall trees in the orchard, on small fruit, low trees, shrubbery, 
strawberry beds, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage field, vineyards, for 
hops, the poultryhouse and upon the stock and in the stable, etc. 
For nurserymen this model friend does seem like a friend, ready to 
do everything on the place. An important fact about this spraying 
outfit is, it does not require much of an outlay to own one and can be 
used in places where the power pump cannot be used. Any nursery 
or place of any importance should have one of the model friend spray¬ 
ing outfits as an investment on the place. 
The Hurst Horse-Power Sprayer has a solid steel frame formed of 
heavy two-inch angle steel in one piece which makes it stronger than 
any other we know of, and we’ve seen all other makes. This sup¬ 
porting frame rests on a solid cold rolled steel axle 1 11-16 inches in 
diameter—the heaviest axle to be found on any sprayer. 
The wheels are iron, the only suitable material for farm imple¬ 
ments. Wood wheels soon dry or rot out and have to be continually 
repaired. It’s better to have dependable iron wheels at first and be 
free from fuss and worry. The wheels are 44 inches high with a 
-inch tire 3 inches wide. They are adjustable on the axle. Each 
wheel is spring ratcheted so that the sprayer can be easily backed or 
turned in any direction. Both wheels drive the pump, developing 
plenty of power for the piston of the compressor-pump. 
The tank is made of the best cypress wood, both edges of every 
stave carefully fitted together, snugly and tightly bound by round 
steel hoops, the ends of which are united by adjustable take-up lugs. 
The Pump is powerful, developing 200 pounds pressure when 
worked to its capacity, 70 pounds, however, is sufficient for any kind 
of spraying. Has 3-inch cylinder and large air-chamber surmounted 
with an accurate pressure gauge directly in front of the operator. 
The Pump has brass ball valves, brass plunger and all other working 
parts that come in contact with the corrosive solutions are brass. 
The source of power is the steel axle. When the wheels start the 
large sprocket wheel turns also and transmits its power through an 
endless chain to the small sprocket wheel on top edge of tank. This 
is mounted on the end of a shaft. On the farther end of this shaft 
an eccentric wheel is forged. This eccentric works like the pitman 
of an engine, is positive in its action, uniform in stroke. The pump 
has no leather nor rubber packing, nor cup-leathers; but is packed 
and adjusted the same as an engine. 
There are two Agitators, which keep the ingredients of the spray¬ 
ing mixture thoroughly agitated at all times. The first or mechani¬ 
cal agitator is a paddle moved by the same eccentric wheel that 
drives the compressed air piston. The second or compressed air 
agitator is only in use when driving to field and keeps the mixture 
hurriedly bubbling until it is ready for spraying. 
The whole machine is well made. It is strongly built and 
scientifically correct. The best steel, iron and brass castings are 
used throughout. The whole machine is given two thorough coats 
of hard drying paint. The Hurst Mfg. Co., Canton, Ohio.
