Seven Solid Reasons 



SEVEN solid reasons why each farm needs a ma- 

 nure spreader are these, in the words of a farmer who 

 has devoted much time to correct soil feeding, i. It 

 saves disagreeable and hard work. 2. It pulverizes and mixes the 

 manure mass. 3. It distributes manure evenly over the field, insuring 

 a good even stand of grain. 4. It prevents loss of nitrogen through 

 fermentation or leaching in the pile when manure is hauled directly 

 from the stable. S. With it manure can be put on plowed ground in 

 winter to be disked as soon as the ground is fit in spring. 6. It will put 

 manure on meadows as a moisture-preserving mulch and to furnish 

 the grass roots with the liberated plant food. 7. Indirectly, the easa 

 with which it can be liandled encourages the owner to care for the ma- 

 nure and place it where it will do most good instead of dumping it any- 

 where for lack of time or inclination. 



I H C Manure Spreaders 



Deering and McCormick 



will do all these things for their owners. They will do them well and 

 satisfactorily. Choose the right machine for your work and con- 

 ditions from the complete I H C line. You will find them all styles 

 and sizes, high and low, endless apron or reverse. 



I H C manure spreaders are exceedingly durable, strong, correctly 

 built to stand all conditions and all strains they may meet. Each 

 feature has its purpose. Uphill or down, or cutting corners, they 

 spread all kinds of manure evenly, in a light or heavy coat at the 

 choice of the driver. The beater drive is strong and simple, beater 

 teeth are square and chisel pointed to pulverize the manure, and thj 

 large diameter of the beater prevents winding. The wide-rimmed 

 rear wheels, carrying a large percentage of the load, insure ample 

 tractive power. 



But see all these things yourself at your local agent's. Ha 

 will explain each one, and many more we have not space to mea- 

 Wj^ tion here. The agent has catalogues for you, or, write the

Quebec Pomological Society 



R. A. Roviieao, B.S.A., Actei-VaFe, Que. 



The summer meeting of the Quebec 

 Pomological Society took place at Kouge- 

 mont, the centre of the well-known fruit 

 growing county of Rouville, on September 

 8th and 9th. The meeting was presided j 

 over by Rev. Father Leopold of the Mon- 

 astery of La Trappe, Que., who delivered 

 a practical address om "The Way to suc- 

 cess in the Production of Fruit." 



Mr. J. A. Jacobs, the president of the 

 Cooperative Society of Rouville County 

 Fruit Growers, welcomed the members. He 

 was followed by R. A. Rousseau, B.S.A., 

 who spoke on "Pruning the Orchard." 



Mr. J. C. Chapais, the well known lec- 

 turer, described a new emulsion for in- 

 sects and diseases. Every nurseryman, 

 every fruit grower, knows how difficult 

 it is to apply the petrol emulsion to check 

 the aphis or plant lice on nursery stock 

 and fruit trees. If we have also to kill 

 caterpillars, we are obliged to make two 

 applications — one for the plant lice and 

 one for the caterpillar. Hence it would be 

 very economical if we could control both 

 of them, with only one application. Mr. 

 Chapais described a new emulsion which 

 has been tested in France with excellent 

 results, and proposed that a small quantity 

 be imported next spring aind experimented 

 with in the demonstration orchrads. The 

 suggestion was carried unanimously. 



Mr. Chas. P. Byers, of St. Paul d'Abbots- 

 ford, spoke on "Cultivation in the Or- 

 chard," and Henri Cloutier, B.S.A., sup- 

 erintendent of the demonstration orchards 

 for Rougemont and St. Hilaire, dealt with 

 "The Harvesting and Conservation of 

 Fruits." 



Bem Richardson, B. S. A., superintendent 

 for Abbotsford and Covey Hill demonstra- 

 tion orchards, spoke on "Insecticides and 

 Fungicides — the Best Practical Methods to 

 Prepare and Use Them." This is a time- 

 ly subject for our fruit growers who, prac- 

 tical}^-, have only recently realized the 

 great benefits of a liberal spraying. The 

 demonstration orchards have done a great 

 deal to induce fruit growers of Rouville 

 and elsewhere, in the province to spray 

 and spray again. 



F. M. Clement, B.S.A., told about his 

 trip through New York state and West- 

 ern Ontario. 



Mr. Clement was confident that we are 

 progressing and that our district is not 

 surpassed regarding all conditions best, 

 suited for the production of fruits. He 

 was pleased to note that the Cooperative 

 Society of Rouville is erecting at Rouge- 

 mont, near the railroad track, a large 

 warehouse, which will be used to grade, 

 to pack, and to keep for the fruit growers 

 and consumers' best interests our two 

 famous Quebec apples — the Fameuse and 

 the Mcintosh Red. 



Rev. Father Leopold, speaking English 

 as well as French, closed the convention 

 by saying good words to all those who are 

 devoted to fruit growing and who had 

 worked so hard to make our summer meet- 

 ing a real success. 



The carriage of fruit by post is being 

 introduced in New Zealand by the New 

 Zealand Government. Arrangements have 

 been made with the railways, and carrying 

 companies whereby the fruit can be ship- 

 ])ed direct from producer to consumer.
