F, pipes or joints made of tin, to fit nicely on the nose of the bellows, and by adding joints, any length desirable may be obtained. G, a tin globe, with a short socket to fit nicely on a joint, and through which the globe receives the sulphur for operation. The holes here must be very small, and half an inch apart all over the globe. For the grape-house, where the vines are trained singly up the rafters, a rose similar to that of a common watering-pot will be preferable, with small holes in the end, H. This will enable the operator to shoot close, and hit his mark without difficulty. If the sulphur adheres to the tin, and clogs the holes, slip in a marble, and shake occasionally.
When much work is to be done with dispatch, No. 1 is preferable, as it is simple and not liable to get out of order; and when the bamboo-handle is playing briskly through the left hand, and the ball going on to the tune of Fisher's hornpipe, the sulphur will be doing its duty, depend on it, flying like drifting snow before a hurricane.
