The Power 



Behind the 



Spray 



must be ample, steady and 

 unfailing. It must drive the 

 mixture through long pipes 



and small nozzles into a per- 

 fect mist. 



Novo Engines have been 

 standard equipment on 

 leading sprayers long 

 enough to prove that 

 rough ground, hill- 

 side angles and 

 hard usage do not 

 cut into their 

 performance.

Deer Park, Washington 



On account of the fact tliat large 

 nunibcr.s of ttie in.sect.s occur under 

 the bark .scales on the truiik.s, it is nec- 

 essary thoroughly to drench this portion 

 of the trees. Hold the nozzle close and 

 npply with a good pressure. Scraping 

 away the old bark scales before mak- 

 ing the application, will aid in exposing 

 the aphids. This practice will not only 

 aid in destroying the woolly aphis, but 

 will help to rid the orchard of cod- 

 ling moth. 



A Promising Tractor and a Great 

 Harrow 



One of the most interesting sights of 

 the great Fremont (Nebraska) Tractor 

 Demonstration was the "latest edition" 

 of the "little Henry" Tractor, \^^lile 

 this little tractor is not yet ready to go 

 upon the market it performed nobly at 

 the demonstration. 



This double-action engine harrow has 

 24 18-inch disks and cuts GV2 feet wide, 

 harrowing the soil twice at a single 

 operation. It is sturdily built and 

 strongly braced. The rigid main frame 

 holds each gang to its work — prevents 

 .shifting and sluing. The fore disks 

 throw the soil out, and the rear disks 

 cut just midway between the fore disks, 

 throwing the soil back. Thus every 

 particle of soil is thoroughly stirred 

 and left level. 



The Cutaway Light Tractor Harrow 

 has ad.justable hitch and can be ad- 

 justed to any engine. "A chain is no 

 .stronger than its weakest link," and it 

 is well to remend)er that high-grade 

 tractor equipment is quite as important 

 as a high-grade tractor. You'll make 

 no mistake in buying a Cutaway. It 

 has cutlery steel disks, forged sharp, 

 oil-soaked hardwood bearings and is 

 backed by more than half a century's 

 harrow-building experience. — [Adv.] 



Coal Oil to the Rescue 



On account of the shortage of prop- 

 erly insulated freight cars, the rail- 

 roads are furnishing to shippers of 

 produce ordinary box cars lined with 

 paper and equipped with kerosene 

 heaters. 



The Standard Oil Company informs 

 us that shippers of apples and potatoes, 

 apples particularly, have taken to the 

 idea antl are now taking ordinary cars 

 from the railroads and equipping them 

 with heaters. The company's main 

 station at Tacoma, the report says, sold 

 out its entire stock of heaters in a 

 week, to parties in the fruit-packing 

 districts of the Northwest, and still the 

 cry is "more heaters"! 



Most of these heaters will go east and 

 never come back, but the fruit crop is 

 movin.g, thanks to the elticiency and 

 reliability of the modern kerosene 

 iieatcr. — [Adv.]
