This plate is secured in place by means of a screw soldered beneath the nozzles, running through a tube connected with and rendered firm by a bow (f) soldered at each end to the outer layer of the plate. The screw issuing from this tube receives a nut ; while still greater se- curity is given to the plate by a projection, i^, beneath, which fits into a tube (//) attached to the nozzle-piece. The liquid, therefore, strikes the plate at an obtuse angle, but instead of one jet of liquid, as in the Binkley sprinkler, Mr. Schier brings three to bear on the same plate, the orifice of each nozzle being as large as the head of an ordinary pin. This sprinkler can be operated either as shown in Fig. 112 or fastened to a frame on a cart. When the distributor is held down the spray is directed upward, and it can there- fore be used for spraying the under side of the leaves. " The peculiarity of this machine consists in the fact that with an exceedingly small and light instrument an efficient spray can be produced that reaches over five rows of cot- ton, the strength of the distributing apparatus lieing such as to warant great concentration of pressure. The con- trivance may be considerably simplified, and Mr. Schier, who calls his atomizer the " Diana Cotton Sprinkler," is now perfecting a machine that will supply three of these atomizers and cover sixteen rows of cotton at once, so that in one day from 150 to 200 acres maybe poisoned.
