 the tree. It is thoroughly efficient, is clean 

 and easy to apply and will cover, bulk for

 BEST YET. GIVE IT A TRIAL

any who have hatched over 100 chicks with 

 hens in one season that would do it again if 

 they could get an incubator. The machine 

 lasts for years, and in the end is far cheaper 

 than buying and fussing with clucking hens. 



The cost of feeding, bedding, etc., would be 

 much lessened on a farm, but the above ex- 

 periences are those of a resident of the city, 

 with a large-sized lot, who had to purchase all 

 necessaries at city prices. In the next issue 

 something will be given about the different 

 methods of hatching and how to go about it. 



Bit; Kesults from Fertilizers. — Messrs. S. & 



W. H. Collinson, proprietors of the Meadow- 

 brook Fruit and Stock Farm, St. David's, Niagara 

 Township, breeders of pure bred Holstein- 

 Friesian Cattle, have over 70 acres in orchard, 

 divided as follows: 50 acres peaches, mostly 

 young orchards; 10 acres grapes, young vine- 

 yard; 6 acres pears; 5 acres plums; cherries and 

 other fruits, upon which they have used several 

 carloads of Freeman's high grade manures. 

 Messrs. Collinson say these Fertilizers have given 

 great satisfaction and they highly recom- 

 mend them. Grapes cut from Mr. CoUinson's 

 young vineyard were as large as plums, and he 

 stated that the bunches were too large to pack 

 advantageously in baskets and had to be cut in 

 three or four parts. By calling upon Mr. William 

 Wiley, the Superintendent of the W. A. Freeman 

 Co. (Ltd.), Hamilton, he will be pleased to 

 point out to fruit growers the orchards upon 

 which Fertilizer was used, the results of which 

 will convince the most sceptical. 



j( Announcement. — At present I am in corre- 

 spondence with the manufacturers of "Target 

 Brand" Insecticides and Fungicides, and before 

 next issue of The Horticulturist expect to 

 have arrangements completed for handling these 

 in Canada. Their San Jose Scale Destroyer and 

 Arsenate of Lead preparations are guaranteed 

 to produce results claimed — kill or keep off San 

 Jose Scale, and kill all leaf -eating insects without 

 damage to either tree or foliage Circulars free.

Could our Canadian vegetable growers raise 

 cauliflower in time for the August markets 

 they could make big money. One firm in New 

 York informed me that they would buy 10 cars 

 a day, if they could get it, during August for 

 use at the summer resorts, and offered a price 

 that would pay our growers w^ell. — (H. Dawson,
