Some of the Uaes for tta« Electric Bug Exterminator. Every person who expects to grow fruit profitably must guard against many insect enemies, as well as fungus dis- eases, so as to insure a bounti- ful crop of perfect fruit. There is not another machine on the market capable of doing the work so perfectly as the Elec- trie Bug Exterminator. It cmai Torre w*ti use a11 killdsof insecticides ON SnALLTRcES in liquid form and is highly recommended for kerosene oil. W. B. Atwood, horticulturist, entomologist, and my- cologist of Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, says: " We have used it in the greenhouse and also on outdoor work to some consid- erable extent and find it a most useful small machine for atomizing decoctions of tobac- co, spraying poisonous mix- tures or pure kerosene oil. In fact, in using the latter, I think it is the best device I have ever ; The machine is capable of do- ing all work on plants, bushes or trees under ten feet high, but is not intended to spray large trees, except when supplied with our extension handle. Perhaps there is no other crop on which injurious in* sects work so great a havoc as on the potato crop. To grow a crop of potatoes the farmer must make up his mind to wage a continuous war against the bugs from the time the potatoes appear at the sur- face of the ground until the crop is matured. Many plans have been followed and many machines invented, all of them very laborious and extravagant in the material used. It was not till the invention of the Electric Bug Exterminating machine that the labor feature could be eliminated to such an extent that now killing bugs on the potato patch is one of the preferred jobs, conse- sequently it will not be neglected, while the matter of expense for material is reduced to a mere trifle.
