Has Done 

 Her Part 



OF COURSE it's important that the cow do her 

 part. But after that, it's up to your cream sepa-' 

 rator. If it doesn't get highest quality cream— 

 if it doesn't skim to a trace — you are robbing your- 

 self of the profit that your cows have produced. 



1 H C Cream Harvesters get full value out of the 

 milk, not for a few months only, but through years of 

 constant service. They have proved their durability, 

 close skimming, easy cleaning, and easy running 

 advantages. 



I H C Cream Harvesters 



Dairymaid and Bluebell 



are the only separators with dust-proof and milk-proof 

 gears, which are easily accessible. The frame is 

 entirely protected from wear by phosphor bronze bushings. 

 These separators have large shafts, bushings, and bearings; 

 the flexible top-bearing is the strongest and most efifective found in any 

 separator. The patented dirt-arrester removes the finest particles of 

 dirt from the milk before the milk is separated. I H C Cream Har- 

 vesters are made in two styles— Dairymaid, chain drive; and Bluebell, 

 gear drive — each in four sizes. 



The I H C local agent will be glad to point out the above features 

 and many others, or, write to nearest branch house for catalogues and 

 other information.

rapid development in the regicu along the 

 lake shore from Sarnia east to Thedford 

 and Arkona. 



This year about 70,000 trees of various 

 clas.ses have been planted m this d^iirict. 

 A large proportion of these are peaches, al- 

 though the apple is predominant. The early 

 apple, to supply the western traae, is com- 

 manding considerable attention, owing to 

 the advantage in climate for tlie proauction 

 of these varieties enjoyed by the county, 

 and to the great and growing demand for 

 these apples. A notable feature is the fact 

 tliat practically the same varieties of the 

 different classes of fruit are being planted 

 throughout the district. This will mean 

 uniformity of product. 



Cherries are beginning to demand con- 

 .siderable attention, and pears are being 

 planted to a limited extent. This fruit 

 will be planted much more extensively in 

 the near future, because of the ideal soils 

 and climatic conditions that generally pre- 

 vail here. Plums have long been grown 

 oommercially, and the tendency in this dis- 

 trict is perhaps to somewhat overdo the 

 planting of plums. 



It Pays Them

 mediums published in Canada for our

 sive people in the land who are in- 

 terested in agricultural pursuits. You

That the astute bu.siness men of the Do- 

 minion look to great development in the 

 future in this di.strict is evident from the 

 fact that two very large canneries have 

 been established in the county this year, 

 one in the town of Sarnia and the other at 

 Petrolia, having a capacity of about 2,000 

 acres of crops each. The production of vege- 

 table crops by this means has been given a 

 great impetus. In the region around Sar- 

 nia and north of Thedford, some of the very 

 finest land in Ontario is being developed 

 into celery and other vegetable gardening 

 crops. The tomato crop has increasea aooui 

 700 acres, while cane berries and straw- 

 berries are being planted extensively to 

 supply the demand for the canning fac- 

 tories. 



A GENERAL DEVEIX)PMENT 



It will be seen that the development is 

 along very general lines. The co«n»y, m a 

 few years, \\'\\\ be producing not one class 

 of fruit only, but practically all of the 

 valuable fruits and vegetables grown in 

 Canada. This must mean that this county 

 will have a great advantage over many sec- 

 tions that are specializing in only one or 

 two branches, in that in case of failure in 

 a single crop or possibly two crops the 

 others will be left to insure something for 

 sale each year. The importance of this 

 fact can scarcely be over estimated. 



When we consider that geographically this 

 fruit district is situated on the southern 

 shores of the great body of water of Lake 

 Huron and somewhat south of the Niagara 

 fruit belt, and is climatically on a par with 

 it, we may look forward with confidence to 

 the successful and rapid development of this 

 new district. As yet it is in its infancy. 

 The new plantations, considerable though 

 they are, are almost swallowed up m the 

 stretches of fertile country yet awaiting the 

 investor. Opportunity and success awaits 

 the intelligent investor and worker in this 

 region.
