Spraying Fruit=trees. 



The question of spraying fruit-trees to prevent the 

 depredations of insects, pests, and fungus diseases is 

 no longer an experiment but a necessity. 



Our readers will do well to write Wm. Stahl, Quincy, 

 111., and get his catalog describing twenty one styles 

 of Spraying Outfits and full treatise on spraying the 

 different fruit and vegetable crops, which contains 

 much valuable information, and may be had for the 

 asking.

Farm Wagon for only $19.95. 



In order to introduce their Low Metal Wheels with 

 Wide Tires, the Empire Manufacturing Company, 

 Quincy, 111., have placed upon the market a Farmer's 

 Handy Wagon, sold at the low price of $19.95. The 

 wagon is only 25 inches high, fitted with 24 and 30 

 inch wheels with 4-inch tire. 



This wagon is made of best material throughout, 

 and really costs but a trifle more than a set of new 

 wheels and fully guaranteed for one year. Catalog 

 giving a full description will be mailed upon applica- 

 tion by the Empire Manufacturing Co., Quincy, 111., 

 who also will furnish metal wheels at low prices made 

 any size and width of tire to fit any axle.

Headquarters for the Albino Bee. 



The Best in the World. 



If you are looking for the bee that gathers the most 

 honey, and are the gentlest of all bees to handle, buy 

 the Albino. I can furnish the Italians, but orders 

 stand, as heretofore. 50 to 1 in favor of the Albino. I 

 manufacture and furnish supplies.
