FOR MECHANICALLY MIXING KEROSENE AND WATER. KEROSENE EMULSION MADE IN THE ACT OF PUMPING. It is now nearly twenty years since kerosene emulsion was introduced for use as an insect- icide. When first recommended, entomologists were enthusiastic as to its value and use, but, owing to the difficulty of making the emulsion it has never been extensively used. There are so many items that go to make the success or failure of the emulsion—the quality of the water, kind of soap and grade of oil—that farmers and fruit growers have generally tound the emulsion impractical for general use. To obviate the objections to the more extended use of kerosene as an insecticide, for several years past The Deming Co. have been at work in perfecting some sprayers whereby the kero- sene may be mechanically mixed with water during the process of pumping. While the mechan- ical mixture is not a true emulsion, it makes a perfect mixture for the time being, and thus, as an insecticide, accomplishes all the results of an emulsion. It has an advantage over the emul- sion in that it can be applied to the plants with a larger proportion of oil without injury to the foliage. The Kerosene is placed in a separate tank connecting with the pump cylinder by means of a suction pipe. A suction pipe also connects with the water reservoir so that both kerosene and water are forced through the pump at each stroke of the plunger. The mixing of the liquids takes place partially in the pump, but more largely in the nozzle, where they are divided into the very finest particles in th
