Just As a Clock 



If he didn't have an 

 alarm in his make-up 

 he'd be the best three 

 dollar clock that ever 

 kept track of the day on 

 any farm. 



As it is, he's two good 

 clocks in one — a reliable 

 alarm to get up by, a punctual 

 timekeeper to serve in parlor, 



dining room, or kitchen. He 

 goes quietly about his work — 

 you hear Iiim only when he 

 calls. 



Handle him with reason- 

 able care, — he'll last for 

 years. 



7 inches tall. Price $3.00 at your

 and he*ll come direct by. parcel

A report from Grim.sby says: "The or 

 chards have come through the winter ir 

 excellent condition, and prospects are goo 

 for a fine showing of buds. Very few nc- 

 orchards will be seen in the district, order 

 for nursery stock this spring being main) 

 for filling in or extending." 



The acreage of tomatoes will probably gt- 

 back to the old average again, on account 

 of the cleaning out of the stocks in the fac- 

 tory warehouses. The majority of the can-' 

 ning factories have made contracts for 

 tomatoes in this section. 



Reports from Lambton county indicate 

 the promise of a good crop of fruit there. 

 Peaches have wintered well and have a fine 

 show of buds. Rabbits and mice, however, > 

 have done injury to young tree-s. The ap- 

 ple crop in Lambton county is expected to 

 be large this year, and arrangements are 

 being made for the manufacture of barrels, 

 so as to have them stored ready before the 

 busy season arrives.
