A Valuable Bulletin 



Reviewed by Prof. W. Lochhead 



The Ontario Department of Agriculture 

 das published a valuable Bulletin, No. 171, 

 on "Insects and Fungous Diseases Affecting 

 Vegetables," prepared by Dr. Bethune and 

 lessrs. Eastham and Howitt of the Ontario 

 Agricultural College. 



The chief injurious insects and fungous 

 Idiseases of the various vegetable crops are 

 described at some length, so that the reader 

 may understand the history and mode of 

 life of oach pest discussed. The illustrations 

 that accompany the text aid very materially 

 in the identification and understanding of 

 the forms described. 



Considerable trouble has evidently been 

 taken to give clear and explicit directions 

 for the control of the insects and fungi 

 under consideration. In some cases it will 

 be claimed that there is need for more 

 effective and practicable remedies, but it 

 can be said that the remedies advocated 

 are the best that have as yet been dis- 

 cussed. Formulas are given for the pre- 

 Iparation of the main insecticides and fung- 

 licides that the vegetable grower will have 

 Occasion to use. 



The appearance of this bulletin within 

 three years of the publication of Bulletin 

 No. 150, by Messrs. Lochhead and Jarvis, 

 dealing with the same subject, indicates a 

 widespread interest, and a need for more 

 information on an important phase of work. 

 The bulletin is one that should be in the 

 hands of every vegetable grower. 



A Motor Car For $550. — In view of the 

 prices charged for the conventional type 

 of automobile, it seems hardly possible for 

 a thoroughly satisfactory automobile to be 

 sold at $550; yet, the Tudhope-Mclntyre 

 Co., of Orillia, Ont., have succeeded in do- 

 ing it, by making a new type of machine. 

 Discarding altogether the low wheels with 

 their costly and troublesome pneumatic 

 tires, and the heavy construction of the 

 ordinary auto, they have followed the lines 

 of the universally popular buggy, with 

 its smooth riding high wheels, puncture 

 and trouble-proof solid rubber tires, resili- 

 ent full elliptical springs and light weight. 

 With its air-cooled, two-cylinder engine, 

 the Tudhope-Mclntyre Motor Carriage 

 weighs less than 1,000 pounds, while the 

 average auto weighs a ton. It has speed 

 of from 5 to 25 miles an hour, and will eas- 

 ily cover 25 miles on one gallon of gasoline. 

 The total cost of running it, including gas- 

 oline, oil and repairs, averages very little 

 over one cent a mile, while the ordinary 

 auto costs five cents a mile or more for tires 

 alone. For the doctor, the merchant, the 

 lawyer, the salesman, the real estate man or 

 the farmer the Tudhope-Mclntyre Motor 

 Carriage costs rather less than a horse and 

 buggy, and is much more convenient and 

 serviceable. 



The St. Catharines Cold Storage and 

 Forwarding Co., St. Catharines, Ont., is 

 experimenting with shipments of strawber- 

 ries to Winnipeg and other points in the 

 West. Should the attempt prove success- 

 ful all that stands between the growers and 

 the Western markets is excessive express

 pensive material but they are care- 

 fully made by perfect machinery in 

 large quantities and each one must 

 undergo the regular Kodak inspec- 

 tion. They are not expensive but 

 they stand the one and all impor- 

 tant test, they work. Their equip- 

 ment is such that they are perfectly 

 adapted to snap-shots or time ex- 

 posures and the amateur may, by

 another — just as he chooses.

 sense a pocket camera. Handsomely fin- 

 ished and covered with the finest imitation

 expensive to operate. PEIOE, $6.00.

 posure. No dark room for any part of the 

 work. Every step is easy with a Brownie
