Items of Interest 



The question of developing the fruit-growing 

 industry of Essex and Kent was discussed re- 

 cently at a meeting of the Board of Trade in 

 Chatham. A report will be published in our 

 next issue. 



At a meeting of the directors of the Ontario 

 Fruit Growers' Association held in January, 

 the following officers were elected for the ensuing 

 year: Pres., A. W. Peart; Burlington, vice-pres., 

 E. D. Smith, M.P., Winona; sec.-treas., P. W. 

 Hodgetts, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. The 

 executive committee will consist of these officers 

 and Messrs, Elmer Lick, Oshawa, And J. E. 

 Johnson, Simcoe. 



A Piano for $25.00.^ — In every sense of the 

 word the sale of somewhat used, but not badly 

 used, square pianos at Heintzman & Co.'s, 

 Limited, 115-117 King Street West, Toronto, 

 is sensational. Tlie announcement has brought 

 this firm orders from almost every corner of the 

 Dominion. The determination is to clear out 

 every square piano in the place between now 

 and stock-taking, and surely prices like $25, 

 $30, $35, and $40 will do it — in payments of $5 

 down and 50c. a week.

Thousands of Successful Farmers Are Doing It 



I 



There Is no charm or secret about It. 

 You simply spread it with a machine, and 

 thus make it go twice as far, gret twice as 

 much good from It on the first crop, do 

 your land more permanent good, and save 

 half the time and labor of handling. 



Manure is generally estimated to be 

 ■worth 52.00 a ton handled the old way. 

 There is no doubt that it is worth twice as 

 much to the farmer who spreads with a 

 machine. 



Two of the most practical and valuable 

 machines manufactured for farm use to- 

 day are the Com Kins and Cloverleaf 

 manure spreaders. They are each made 

 in a number of sizes. 



These machines differ somewhat In 

 construction and operation, but both are 

 right working and of great durability. 



They are proven machines. They em- 

 body the best mechanical ideas, the ma- 

 terials used in construction are the best 

 for the purpose, they are made as simple 



as possible, and they handle manure in all 

 conditions to the perfect satisfaction of 

 users. Proof of all this is to be found in 

 the record each machine has made in the 

 field. 



Is it not to your interest to own and use 



one of these spreaders on your farm? 



Figure out for yourself and you must 

 agree that it will be a paying investment, 

 even if you do not have over twenty-five 

 loads of manure to spread in a year. 



You can't help but be pleased with the 

 work, the easy handling, the light draft 

 and the substantial making which saves 

 you the annoyance of breakage and 

 repairs. 



Call and see these spreaders with the 

 local International agent. He will gladly 

 point out to you the superior features of 

 these machines, as well as supply you 

 with catalogue, colored hanger or other 

 information. 



The nearest branch house will supply you with anv further Information desired.
