COST. 
Changes which had to be made, trying different styles of 
elbows and unions, testing different sets of nozzles, together 
with an accident to the carrier, and the extra work required to 
put parts together the first time, brought the cost of this ma- 
chine nearly to the $300.00 mark. At the outside the parts 
ought not to cost more than as follows:

A triplex bronze pump can be made to order for $40.00 addi- 
tional. We believe that the actual cost of building can be re- 
duced to $200.00. 
CONCLUSIONS. 
@ 
When completed and tested the machine proved much less 
unwieldy and awkward than appearances would indicate. It 
could be turned in a space of six feet, not including team. All 
the joints were easily packed to prevent leaking, and, the raising 
and lowering of the carrier in turning did not cause the hori- 
zontal telescoping joints to leak. It was thought that it would 
be impossible to use it in asparagus fields that were on sand 
beds, nevertheless a span of fourteen hundred pound horses 
handled it with but little extra effort on level ground where 
the wheels sank four inches into the sand. 
Tests showed that an acre could be sprayed in less than an 
| hour, doing the work more thoroughly than could be done by 
hand. Furthermore, there was a saving of material, as between 
150 and 175 gals. was all that was used per acre when all the
