suction pipe is attached, as mentioned in the following paragraph. 
The Schanck is a light and durable machine, and does its work 
as wellas any of this style of sprayers that we have seen.

The Peppler Sprayer. 
The Peppler sprayer is manufactured by Thomas Peppler, 
Hightstown, N. J. List price, $75. Jor illustration, see fig. 11. 
This is a light machine, drawn by one horse, and sprays six rows 
at a time. A 45-gallon barrel is mounted on a cart. The 
wheels are made of wood, with two and a half inch tires; the 
axle is made of steel and turns with the wheels. A single 
sprocket wheel fastened on the axle gives motion by a chain to 
the pump and the agitator. A small brass rotary pump is used ; 
the suction pipe is attached directly under the barrel, a decidedly 
objectionable feature; it has been our experience that with the 
best of agitators the sediment in Bordeaux mixture will gradually 
settle and clog any pipe so attached; especially is this liable to 
be the case should the machine be left standing even for a short 
time with the mixture in it. However, this is a difficulty easily 
overcome in this and other force-pump machines, but in gravity 
machines, such as the Schanck, this manner of attachment is 
necessary. 
The agitator consists of a sort of wheel, or fan, and revolves 
continuously. The discharge pipe is attached to the top of the 
pump and leads back to a transverse galvanized iron pipe, to 
which the nozzles are attached by small nipples. As before stated, 
six rows are sprayed at a time, one nozzle to a row; short joints 
of pipe are furnished, so that the distance between the nozzles 
can be adjusted as may be desired to suit rows of different dis- 
tances apart. By a combination of two elbow-joints the portion 
of the pipe that projects on either side of the machine can be 
elevated in passing an obstruction, turning or going from field 
to field. 3 | 
By turning off the two sprays directly in the rear and elevat- 
ing the side pipes to a vertical position, the machine is at once 
transformed into a vineyard sprayer. 
Two leads of hose, intended to be used in spraying fruit trees, 
are furnished with each machine, but this feature is practical
