Cream Separator Savings 



AN I H C cream separator saves money for you 

 in more ways than most people know. It saves 

 cream because it skims practically all the butter fat 

 out of the milk. It saves on the feed bills. Calves and pigs thrive on 

 the sweet, warm skim milk that comes fresh from the separator. It 

 saves fertility. The dairyman who feeds the skim milk to animals 

 parts with a very small amount of fertility. The man who sells whole 

 milk loses close to S4.80 per cow per year in fertilizing matter. These 

 three savings, while not all that a cream separator makes, are im- 

 portant enough to warrant the most thoughtful consideration. 



I H C Cream Separators 



Dairymaid and Bluebell 



are also furnished as complete power outfits, as illustrated above. 



The engine is a one-horse power, back geared, hopper-cooled, I H C 



engine which can be detached and used to run any small machine. The 



separators are built for long life and skimming efficiency. They have 



heavy phosphor bronze bushings for bearings; a never-failing splash 



oiling system; trouble proof bowl spindle bearings; dirt and milk 



proof spiral gears which are easily accessible for cleaning. There are 



four convenient sizes of each style. Ask the I H C local agents who 



handle these machines for demonstration. Get a catalogue 



and full information from them, or, write the nearest branch 



house.

Fruit Growing in Quebec 



Bj the Preiidtnt o( L'hlet Horticallural Societjr 



FRUIT jprov/iTig is exte>ndin>f rapidly in 

 the province of Quebec. There are 

 many reasons for this, one of the prim- 

 cipal ones being the splendid work that is 

 being accomplished by our numerous fruit 

 experiment stations. These are strategic- 

 ally located in various coumties of the i)i' - 

 vince. 



The stations in operation this year are 

 as follows, the name of the manager being 

 given in each case :

Then also there is the Village des Aul- 

 naies Nurseries and Fruit Garden estab- 

 lished in I860 by Aug. Dupuis, M'.C.A.; 

 proprietor, .Mbert D. Verreault, Village 

 des Aulnaies, Que. 



Here were imported trees from Ontario 

 the United States, and France. The fittest 

 that survived the severe winters were mul- 

 tiplied, and are mow cultivated all through 

 the north-east part of the province. Messrs. 

 Chas .Arnold and Beadle, of Ontario, guid- 

 ed the first experiments, and now Mr. 

 Beadle's succesors, of The Canadian Horti- 

 culturist, continue to guide us in modern 

 fruit culture, and we take pleasure in ac- 

 knowledging it. 



Mr. J. E .Caron, Minister of .Agricul- 

 ture, is also helping the industry, which 

 has made great progress in the last few 

 years in north-easterm Quebec. Twenty- 

 four demonstration orchards in L'Islet and 

 Kamouraska counties are in operation. 

 Spraying and pruning demonstrations were 

 made last year in over four hundred or- 

 chards in these two counties by govern- 

 ment exjierts and explanations given of 

 each operation. 



Two fruit coop>erative associations, one 

 at St. Anne Lapocatiere, with a canning 

 fiijctory, and one at St. Valier, are giving 

 satisfaction to the fruit growers. Ten 

 thousand quart and gallon cans of pre- 

 served plums were sold at the St. Anne 

 factory to the Canadan Pacific Railway 

 Co. last winter. Car loads of Damson and 

 Reine Claude plums were sold at Montreal 

 in refregerator cars by the cooperative so- 

 ciety laist fall. These sales have created 

 enthusiasm in plum culture, and numerous
