Watering wheelbarrow

1894. The water wheelbarrow (fig. 505.) has a barrel fixed upright on a frame, with a perforated cylinder projecting about two feet from one side. A plug (b) prevents the escape of the water till the barrel is wheeled to the proper spot. This plug has a cord (a) attached to it, with a bit of wood (c), which hangs down on the outside of the barrel; the moment the waterer has got the barrel between the rows, he pulls the string, and as he wheels along the water rapidly escapes over two rows at a time.
