Pruning the Gooseberry and Currant 

 Pruning the gooseberry to a bush 

 form in this country is recommended 

 by Professor C. I. Lewis, chief of the 

 Division of Horticulture, Oregon Agri- 

 cultural College. Berries are borne on 

 the two, three and four-year-old wood, 

 bkut occasionally the fruit grows too 

 small on the four-year-old wood and it 

 should be pruned out. The currant 

 bears most of its fruit on the two and 

 three-year-old wood. All canes of 

 either of these fruits should be cut out 

 when they begin to droop toward the 

 ground, and all canes that are weak. 

 The plant should be reduced to the 

 number of canes that will grow in a 

 vigorous condition. When canes tend 

 to grow gnarly, old and weak they 

 should be removed. The entire plant- 

 ing should be renewed in from six to 

 ten years. While the bushes will fruit 

 for a longer time the fruit tends to 

 grow too small to be profitable. 



"Our railway management has many 

 faults and abuses in detail; but taking 

 its work as a whole it has brought 

 down rates to a cheapness which is 

 unequaled elsewhere and has developed 

 the business of the country on a scale 

 which would have been impossible 

 under any system of rates based on cost 

 of service." — Arthur T. Hadley, Presi- 

 dent of Yale University.

 ciety has just issued the proceedings

The Name Behind the Goods 



Judge Your Car 

 Year-After-Next 



Time is the big test that your car must meet. No matter 

 how well it performs the first year — it is next year and the 

 year after that tell the story of service or disappointment. 



The time really to judge the CASE "25" is at the end 

 of the third or fourth year. Then you will fully understand 

 why we are so particular to build mechanical perfection 

 into every CASE car. 



Our catalog tells in detail of the many parts of this car 

 where we spend just to keep your cars out of the repair 

 shops and to give you complete confidence and satisfaction 

 in your investment. 



Least in Price— Greatest in Value 



Of tlie popular-priced cars tfie 

 CASE "25" costs you least, we 

 maintain, because we include 

 extra accessories to the value 

 o£ $110.25. Our price is $1350 

 — less 5 per cent if cash — and 

 the CASE comes equipped with 

 Extra Tire and Tube on Rira 

 with Tire Cover, Weed Non-Skid 

 Tire Chains and 8- Day Clock. 



These items are necessary — 

 particularly for country driving. 

 Other cars do not include them. 

 Deduct their value— $110. 25 — 



from the CASE price, and then 

 compare it with other cars. 



CASE cars offer an extra value 

 because we can afford to put more 

 money into their materials and 

 workmanship. We save on sell- 

 ing expense where others must 

 spend, for CASE cars are sold by 

 the same world-wide organiza- 

 tion that handles the entire CASE 

 line of farm power machinery. 

 And this saving goes into the 

 cars in added value.
