A Winter Idyl 
When the biting winds do blow, 
And the water will not flow ; 
When the pump is frozen tight, 
And you're worried, at the sight 
Of your stock out in the snow. 
Then, oh then, you wonder why 
That Hot-Air Pump you did not buy. 
Now is the time, in early fall, 
These winter hardships to forestall. 
Don’t let your stock go dry. 
The Hot-Air Pump 
gives an abundant and permanent supply, 
always fresh and at atemperature which 
invites the animals to drink their fill. Be- 
sides, it does away entirely with the slow 
and expensive process of watering live 
stock with a pail and by hand. 
Be sure that the copyright name **Reeco-Rider” or 
**Reeco-Ericsson”’ appears upon the pump you purchase. 
This name protects you against spurious imitations. Write 
to nearest office (see list below) for descriptive Catalogue U

Grape Training in the Cold 
North 
HE ‘fan system’ of grape training,” 
writes Professor John Craig, “is 
used most freely when vines are protected in 
the autumn by laying them down and 
covering them with soil, The canes are 
carried up from the ground in a divergent 
manner, in the form of a fan. The old 
Before pruning. Fan system 
canes are cut out and removed from time to 
time as they grow too rigid to allow of easy 
bending. At the close of the growing 
season, after the leaves have fallen, the greater 
number of the canes are cut back to the last 
bud. A few of the strongest are left, in order 
to carry the fruit to a greater height upon 
the trellis.”
