OU will not only find the I H C auto buggy the easiest to drive, but 

 Y it is so simple and easy to operate that your wife and children can 

 -^ use it with perfect safety. If you need to go to town or visit a 

 neighbor it is always ready. No time is lost in hitching up. 



The I H C Auto Buggy 



will travel anv road— over hills, through mud, snow, etc., at 1 to 20 miles an 

 hour. The large wheels protect you from jars when going over rocks, clods and 

 bumps. The solid rubber tires make punctures "blow-outs" and the resulting 

 delays impossible. They do not flatten out and loosen the dirt and gravel like 

 theinflated tires do. It's the "suction" tire cars thatare doing nine-tenthsof the 

 damage to the roads. You can use an I H C buggy when you would not dare to 

 take a horse out. It is never affected by the weather and it never gets tired. 



For Business or Pleasure 



it is the most sensible, serviceable vehicle. If your wife and children want to go 

 to town or on a pleasure trip it doesn't mean taking a team from the work in the 

 field if you own an I H C auto buggy. The International auto wagon has the 

 same engine construction as the auto buggy. It will meet your requirements for 

 a h-ht delivery wagon. The full elliptic springs (36 inches long by 1 3-8 inches 

 wide) and the long wheel base make it easy running and give it a stylish appear-

 America at nearest branch house for further information.

good results in growing apples if he has not 

 a good windbreak most all around his or- 

 chard. Part of this shelter could be made 

 with cherry trees planted close together 

 which would give good protection in fall 

 and be a source of revenue at the same time. 

 The Yellow Bellflower abo should be given 

 more attention by growers. The tree will 

 stand a good deal of pruning and if the fruit 

 were thinned — a practice which must shortly 

 come in vogue if we want to compete suc- 

 cessfully — a fine size of fruit would reward 

 the grower. There is no finer winter ajiple 

 here than the Yellow Bellflower (Bishop's 

 Pippin).

.At one of Berwick Fruit Growers' meet- 

 ings an unusual di.scussion took place in 

 which a speaker advocated growing orchards 

 in half sod and non-pruning in the raising 

 of fruit for English markets. As an ex- 

 ample he quoted the name of a well known 

 Kings county man who leaves sod around 

 the trees and cultivates a strip down the 

 centre of the rows into which he iJUts fer- 

 tilizer. This man sprays his trees but does 

 1101 prune them, broning apples by this 

 inetliod and gathering them early, the fruit 

 is said to keep longer, and stand up well in 

 the markets. The returns received from Eng- 

 land were double those of his neighbors who 

 sent by the same boat; for instance, his 88 

 barrels of Baldwins sold for 81 pounds 

 (tSl) while other men only received 10 or 

 12 shillings a barrel. The speaker said that 

 he was growing apjjles for the money there 

 was in them and he thought he would try 

 a block of orchard in the sod plan. If the 

 English people wanted crab apples he would 

 grow them — but, when he wanted apples for 

 himself he would grow them in the ortho- 

 dox way I 



One of the leading fruit men said that he 

 thought that the man referred to had by 

 his mechods done great injury to the fruit 

 industry. He could not account for the 

 high prices, but he did know a man who 

 shipped to the same firm as the "non-prun- 

 ing" man and this grower received 32 shill- 

 ings when other people were receiving 18 

 and 20 shillings. He thought that in the 

 competition to get our fruit commission 

 merchants resorted to different devices, and 

 one method was to give a widely known 

 grower big returns, so that when other., 

 heard of it, they would naturally ship to 

 that firm which would make up for their 

 loss by reversing their prices at a later date. 



Orchardists are saving several dollars per 

 ton, by co-operating in buying fertilizers.
