" TRUSTWORTHY " 



SHARPLES 



Tubular Cream Separators 



Two men ask you for work. One always does as 

 you expect. The other needs watching. Which 

 will you hire? 



Apply this rule to cream 

 separators. 



Sharpies Dairy Tubulars are 

 trustworthy. They are free 

 from the many parts and faults 

 of others. No disks. Double 

 skimming force. Doubly clean 

 skimming always. Wear a 

 liletime. Guaranteed 

 forever by America's 

 oldest and world's big- 

 gest separator concern 



No others are so built 

 or so guaranteed. All 

 others are complicated 

 — will go wrong. Then you 1 

 heavily. They need watching 



Which kind for you? The trust- 

 worthy Tubular, of course. Write 

 for catalogue No. 215.

POOR 



ORCHARDS 



MADE 



GOOD 



Six years ago one-half the trees in the orchard of the Fairview Orchard Company, Kearneysville, 

 W. Va., were tagged by the Inspector, who reported it the worst scale-infected orchard he ever saw. 

 After four years' use of "Scalecide" exclusively as a Winter wash, the same orchard is pronounced 

 one of the cleanest in the State, and produced in 1910 over 11,000 barrels of apples, which sold for 

 over $29,000. If the continued use of " Scalecide " brings an orchard that is half dead to life, 

 is it reasonable to expect injury to a good orchard? "Scalecide" shows greater fungicidal prop- 

 erties than any other Winter wash. "Scalecide" has no substitute. A postal request to Dept. "I" 

 will bring you by return mail, free, our book " Modern Methods of Harvesting, Grading and 

 Packing Apples," and new booklet, "SCALECIDE, the Tree-Saver." If your dealer cannot supply 

 you with "SCALECIDE" we will deliver it to any R. R. Station in the U. S. east of the Missis- 

 sippi and north of the Ohio Rivers on receipt of the price : 50-gal. bbls., $25.00 ; 30-gal. bbls., 

 $16.00; 10-gal. cans, $6.75; 6-gal. cans, [$3.75. Address, B. G. Pratt Company, 50 Church St., New 

 York City.
