sprayer is easily set in or out of gear from the driver’s seat on 
the barrel by a lever in front, while with a lever behind the bar- 
rel the liquid is turned off or on. The wheels are made of iron, 
strong and durable, but not heavy, and are adjustable, so that the 
distance between them can be varied to correspond to the dis- 
tance between the rows. As it is not furnished with a pump 
there is scarcely any machinery to get out of order, and the time 
and trouble taken to strain the liquids is done away with as tke 
comparatively large sized holes in the nozzle renders straining 
unnecessary.

Fia. 10.— The Schanck Sprayer. 
The material, however, is not as intelligently applied as when 
forced out of the improved nozzles. More liquid is wasted and 
the plants are not as evenly sprayed as when Vermorel nozzles 
are used. It is better to have the plants well covered with tLe 
fine particles of spray than to have them drenched, as disk 
machines are likely to do. When driving with the wind the 
driver gets well covered with the spray, even when but a slight 
breeze is blowing; when the wind comes from either side of the 
machine the spray is blown over, drenching the rows on the 
opposite side, while to the windward the outer rows get no spray
