An Interesting Book 



Much valuable information for fruit growers 

 and florists is contained in a book, recently 

 published, entitled The Orchard and Fruit Gar- 

 den, by E. P. Powell, the well known United 

 States authority. The book, which contains 

 over 325 pages and numerous illustrations, is 

 divided in three parts. Part first is devoted 

 to the orchard and deals with the varieties and 

 the handling and marketing- of apples, pears, 

 plums, cherries, peaches and numerous other 

 varieties of fruit. Part second is entitled The 

 Fruit Garden, and treats on currants, strawber- 

 ries, raspiberries, etc., a full chapter being de- 

 voted to each. 



Part third deals with cultural directions. A 

 few chapters are devoted to windbreaks, drain- 

 age, irrigation, pruning, spraying, harvesting, 

 marketing, etc. The William Briggs Company, 

 of Toronto, are Canadian agents for this pub- 

 lication. 



The Classik Kids 



The Classik Kids are a chirpy little pair who 

 have succeeded in placing- Sure Grip Shingles, 

 Steel Siding and Classik Ceiling's, made by the 

 Gait Art Metal Co., Limited, in the very fro at 

 row of popularity in this Dominion. Little 

 more than six months have elapsed since these 

 goods were first introduced, but th'e demand for 

 them has been enormous. The goods them- 



selves are largely responsible for this. Made 

 only of the hig^hest grade materials, by com- 

 petent workmen, on modern scientific princi- 

 ples, they have found ready Ibuyers wherever 

 they have been exhibited. 



This success is built on a sound basis and is 

 sure to be more than doubled in the remaining 

 half year. In the firt place, Gait Steel Sidings 

 and Sure Grip iShingles, applied to any build- 

 ing, make it practically fire proof from without. 

 If it is a farmer's barn, there is no danger from 

 a flying spark from a passing locomotive or a 

 thresher's engine, and lightning has absolutely 

 no effect on a building thus clad in a coat of 

 Gait steel, the latter acting as a perfect conduc- 

 tor. Then they make a barn, or any other 

 building, perfectly wind, rain and storm proof. 

 For interior decoration nothing surpasses Clas- 

 sik Ceilings and Panels in beauty or durability.

Why? 



Why? ^ 



The question is, Why should the farmers of Ontario send their boys 



and girls to the 



Ontario Agricultural College? 



and the answer is, Because the boys will receive a practical and helpful working 

 knowledge of Scientific Agriculture, and because the girls will be given a first-class 

 training in Household Science at the MACDONALD INSTITUTE. 



Residence Accommodation is provided for both men and women. 



Macdonald Hall, the girls' residence, is one of the best equipped buildings of its 

 kind in Canada, and the boys' dormitories are comfortable and commodious.
