Iron, copper or plastic syringer with reservoir (0.250 - 0.5 l), which works by negative pressure: the air jet created by the pump sucks up the liquid and spreads it in very fine droplets. The sprayer is used to moisten the leaves of plants and to apply a pesticide against parasites, fungi, weeds or flies. See also the syringer for flowers. [MOT]

After the potatoes, turnips, beets and vegetables, which will be used as animal feed, have been transferred from the kettle in which they were cooked (see potato spoon) to a tub, they are crushed with a potato masher. The potato masher is a wooden or iron stamper in all shapes. It can be a round piece of wood, thinner at the top than at the bottom. It can also be a round grid (approx. Diam. 13-15 cm) that is connected to the stem (approx. 55-80 cm) via a fork-shaped intermediate piece (approx. 20-25 cm). Sometimes the masher is also forged in the shape of an S. See also the potato masher to make puree. [MOT]

Information about these tools and the experiment in 2019 to hollow an oak and compose a wooden water pump can be read on these pages. [MOT]
