habits of injurious insects and noxious weeds, and of the most practical and economical 

 measures for their destruction. In the report of the Entomologist and Botanist there 

 will also be found particulars of the experiments and observations made during the past 

 year in connection with the Apiary. 



The large and constantly increasing demand by the farmers of the Dominion for the 

 publications issued from the experimental farms is a gratifying evidence of the desire for 

 information among this class of the community, also of the high esteem in which these 

 records of the work of the farms are held. It is hoped that the facts brought together 

 in the present issue will be found of much practical value to the Canadian farmer and 

 fruit grower and that they may assist in advancing these industries in this country. 



I have the honour to be, air, 



Your obedient servant, 



WM. SAUNDERS, 



Director Experimental Farms. 



To the Honourable 



The Minister of Agriculture, 

 Ottawa.
