Tone Is 

 Always First 



Tone Is the most 

 Important feature of a 

 piano— because, on the 

 quality and permanency 

 of tone, depends the 

 value of the piano. 

 The magnificent, singing tone of 



New Scale Waiiams

onapproachabls In awoetneas. mellowness 

 »nd majesty— Is possible because the 

 New Scale Williams Piano not only is 

 more heavily siriing on Its massive plate 

 «nd scale than other Pia-os, but also 

 because of the Harmonic Tone Prolone- 

 Int Brldre which prevents the Intro- 

 duction of faulty and Imperfect tones. 



If jrour home needs a piano to complete 

 Its coziness, perhaps our plan of buying

Spraying Increases Profits 



"If you noglwJt to spray your fruit you 

 will not have success; spruyinR is the link 

 between success and failure in fruit fsrow- 

 ing," were Mr. Farrand's initial words in 

 the address he gave on "SprayiuK for In- 

 sects and Diseases" at the meetings of the 

 Niagara Peninsula Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion in March. 



Different formtdae had to be used in dif- 

 ferent emergencies. A mixture of four 

 pounds of lime to six pounds of blue vitrei 

 to 40 gallons of water, had proven a general 

 remedy for many diseases IJlack rot in 

 grapes was prevented only by Bordeaux. 

 The lime and sulphur mixture was efficient 

 for San .Jose scale and other fungous dis- 

 eases. The peach has a tender foliage and 

 the strong mixtures that plum, pear and aj)- , 

 pie foliage withstand, should be used with 

 great care if nut over the former trees. 



Proper spraying is one of the preventives 

 of fungous and insect pests if done at the 

 ironer time. A delav of a day or two mpv 

 cause a loss of money. Results were ob- 

 t-oined in pronortion to the spraying done. 

 "Put your mixtures on liberally," was the 

 speaker's advice. 



Different processes and utensils for the 

 work were touched on. "There were men," 

 said Mr. Farrand, "who believed that good 

 results could be obtained by hand spraying, 

 but this was not successful as tests had 

 proven." The method took up an enormous 

 amount of time; in fact, a power outfit 

 would do the work three times over in the 

 time it took a hand pump. The gasoline 

 engine was, in his opinion, a satisfactorv 

 solution to the labor saving problem. — J.
