Cooper's Spray Fluids 



The Vi and V2 Fluids^ produced by 

 Messrs. William Cooper & Nephews, 506-7 

 Manning Chambers, Toronto, are being 

 well tested throughout the Dominion. The 

 [following are a few of the many gentle- 

 [ men that are giving it a trial : J. W. Smith, 

 fWinona., Ont. ; \V. H. Bunting, St. Cath- 

 [arines, Ont. ; Robert Thompson, St. Cath- 

 larines, Ont. ; H. S. Peart, Jordan Harbor, 

 I Ont. ; Jos. Tweddle, Fruitland, Ont. ; M 

 tC Bruner, Olinda, Ont. ;]. L. Hillborn, 

 f Leamington, Ont. ; Isaac Usher, Queens- 

 fton, Ont.; W. L. Smith, Whitby, Ont.; A. 

 McKenny, Essex, Ont. ; R. J. Messenger, 

 Bridgetown, N. S. ; A. Lawrie, Forest, 

 Ont. ; Wm .Rickard, Newcastle, Ont. ; D. 

 C. McMorris, Nelson, B. C. ; W. H. Hay- 

 ward, Duncans, B. C. ; T. A. Brydon, Vic- 

 toria, B. C. 



These are names of men well qualified to 

 make fair trials and let the true results be 

 known. Mr. W. Staley Spark, Messrs, 

 Cooper & Nephews' manager, has left 

 nothing to be desired in the fair way in 

 which he has placed these goods on the 

 market, by giving prominent fruit grow- 

 ers and the fruit growers' associations free 

 samples, and he has not, and does not in- 

 tend to push the sale of these fluids till the 

 fruit growers themselves are perfectly sat- 

 isfied that it is an improvement on any 

 spray mixture yet known. This is a fair 

 and honest way of doing business, and we 

 hope that Messrs. Wm. Cooper & Nephews 

 will reap a rich reward. Anyone desiring 

 a booklet describing these fluids and the 

 spraying of fruit trees, can have one free 

 for the asking by writing to 

 William Cooper & Nephews, 506-7 Manning

Apple Shippers 



A meeting of the Ontario Apple Ship- 

 pers' Association was held in Colborne in 

 March. The following resolutions were 

 carried unanimously : 



I. — That the standard weight of a bar- 

 rel of apples be reduced to 155 pounds. 



2. — That the classification of apples be 

 changed from Class No. 5 to Class No. 6. 



3. — That the Government be asked to 

 amend the Fruit Marks Act by making no 

 definition of a No. 2 apple, leaving it as 

 it was before the amendment of igo6, and 

 that inspection be made at point of ship- 

 ment. 



One question of considerable importance 

 was dealt with very fully, the right of the 

 shipper to, order cars, and afterwards route 

 them in any way he thought was in his own 

 interest. One gentleman present made the 

 statement that under the rules of the Rail- 

 way Commission, every shipper had a right 

 to do so, and if the railways refused to 

 ship according to his instructions, they 

 were liable to a penalty of $1,000 a car.

It is well known that seeds should be 

 sown evenly, that the distribution should 

 be uniform. A device that will do this ef- 

 fectively and economically, is the Cahoon
