is needless to mention the record beaters placed 

 in the Liverpool service by the Allans this sea- 

 son, as a perusal of the daily papers from week 

 to week clearly shows that there is nothing on 

 the Atlantic that is superior to this service 

 either for freight or passengers. 



On the Glasgow service of the Allan Line such 

 vessels as the Ionian, Mongolian, Pretorian, 

 Sicilian and Corinthian speak for themselves. 

 These vessels make the passage from Montreal 

 to Glasgow in eight to 10 days and are equip- 

 ped with the latest system of refrigerator and 

 ventilated compartments for the carriage of 

 perishable freight. The loading and unloading 

 is not done by the ordinary stevedores, but by 

 special and experienced men employed exclu- 

 sively by the Allan Line for this purpose, there- 

 by ensuring the best results. The vessels of 

 this line sail regularly from Montreal every 

 Thursday throughout the season of St. Lawrence 

 navigation, so that the shipper may time hLs 

 freight accordingly and be sure that it has been 

 forwarded on the steamer for which it was in- 

 tended. Exporters of fruits would do well to 

 get into communication with Messrs. H. and A. 

 Allan or their representatives, who will be 

 pleased to furnish all information required. 



always crowded. At the Western Fair at Lon- 

 don the Waggoner Ladder Company set up a 

 bench and one of their workmen, with his ap- 

 pliances, worked away as if in the factory for 

 several days of the fair, putting in the steel 

 wire reinforcement which is one of the advant- 

 ages of the Waggoner Extension Ladder. A 

 very much interested crowd stood around the 

 place the whole time, and the result was — sev- 

 eral times larger sales than the company ever 

 made at the fair before. 



Showing the process produces interest, and if 

 it illustrates a really good thing the man who 

 sees it is convinced. At the West Middlesex 

 fair, at Strathroy, the company showed the pro- 

 cess again with similar results. There is a 

 general feeling on the part of the managers of 

 these fairs that it Avill pay to encourage these 

 proce.ss sho^\ings and keep out the " midway " 

 shows, which have for some time been discredit- 

 ing our fairs. 



Process Showing at the Fairs 



A feature w'hich is coming into vogue at the 

 agricultural exhibitions is the exhibition of the 

 process of manufacture of various articles. 

 Where the article shown is one of common use, 

 the process of making it is always of great in- 

 terest. At Toronto the process building was 



Spraying Machines at Toronto 



One of the most interesting exhibits at the 

 Toronto National Exhibition for the fruit grow- 

 ers was the Little Giant Sprayers, shown by 

 the Perkins & Paine Co., of Port Dover, Ont. 

 As they were the only power sprayers on the 

 grounds these machines attracted much atten- 

 tion. Besides being the cheapest machine on 

 the market, it is also the only one that auto- 

 matically sprays two rows of grapes or small 

 fruits at the same time. 



Many United States fruit growers expressed 

 themselves as being highly pleased with the
