Buy I H C Wagons for True Economy 



You cannot farm without a wagon any more than you can keep 

 house without a stove. It is something you neecf every day. 

 You work it harder than anything else on the farm, and when the 

 old one wears out you have to get a new one at once. 



Figure out how many bushels of corn, wheat, or oats, or how many 

 bales of cotton it takes to keep you in wagons, and then see how much 

 you save when you buy a wagon that lasts longer than the average. 



It is an easy thing to do, even though all wagons which are painted 

 alike look alike. The difference in wagons is underneath the paint. It 

 is the material and workmanship, as well as the paint of I H C wagons

which make them the best wagon'investment for any farmer. 



We tell you plainly what material goes into every part of our wagons, 

 and we want every purchaser to convince himself before buying, that 

 when I H C wagons are advertised as having birch hubs, maple axles, 

 and long leaf yellow pine box bottoms, these are the materials actually 

 used. 



Such care is taken in the construction of the I H C wagons, and in 

 the culling of the materials which go into them, that when a wagon 

 reaches a farmer's barn, that farmer has one of the best wearing, 

 easiest running farm wagons that skilled labor can make or that money 

 can buy. There is no need to speculate in buying a wagon. Wear and 

 tear and length of service are the points to go by. I H C wagons are 

 made for nation-wide uses, with special features adapted to local condi- 

 tions. Wherever sold they are right, and ready for use in that locality. 

 The I H C wagon agent in your town sells the wagon best suited to 

 your neighborhood. Ask him to go over the wagons with you. 

 Ask him for I H C wagon literature, or write the nearest branch 

 house.

111 the carrying out of this legislation 

 and work against the introduction and 

 Kjiicad of introduced pest.s, the cooperation 

 of all whom the successful carrying out 

 of the work affects is absolutely necuseary. 

 If importers of nursery stock and other 

 vegetation will comply with the regulations 

 governing such importations the work of 

 inspection will proceed as smoothly as if 

 no regulations existed. Inconveniences are 

 only introduced when the regulations are 

 not complied with. Although fruitgrowers 

 and others suffer very severely on account 

 of the losses entailed by the work of such 

 insects as have been introtluced into Can- 

 ada, such as the San Jose Scale, the Cod- 

 ling Moth and in many cases the Apple 

 Maggot, they would suffer far more if other 

 pests such as the Brown-tail Moth and the 

 Gij>sy Moth and other insects from foreign 

 countries were introduced, and tliey cannot 

 l/Ut realize that it is to their advantage to 

 assist in every po.ssible manner in the carry- 

 ing out of the work which we are empower- 

 ed to do by Statute against the further in- 

 troduction and spread of serious and in- 

 jurious insects. 



New Fruits Increasing 



W. T. Maconn, Dominion Horticnltnritt, Ottawa, Oat. 



The numbers of new fruits of merit which 

 are introduced each year is small. This is 

 fortunate as fruit growers are not tempted 

 to grow a large number of varieties. Many 

 of them grow too many already. The time 

 is coming, however, when there will be many 

 new fruits of merit available for introduc- 

 tion and there should be some plan worked 

 out whereby the grower will be kept from 

 planting any large number of trees or 

 plants of a variety which has not been 

 strongly recommended by some institution 

 or society. The practice of cooperative 

 societies buying fruit trees for their mem- 

 bers is a good one. In this way the number 

 of varieties grown in a district is limited, 

 and only those most suitable for the district 

 are planted. 



The reason why a large number of varie- 

 ties of merit will soon be available for intro- 

 duction is that up to within recent years 

 the development of new sorts by the ex- 

 periment stations has been carried on in a 

 very small way, and few things worthy of 

 being grown » the best fruit districts have 

 been originated. All this is changed, how- 

 ever, and fruit breeding is now an impor- 

 tant part of the work of the horticultural 

 departments of a large proportion of the 

 fifty odd experiment stations in the United 

 States, and Canada also, if not doing her
