Spraying is a simple 

 but profitable operation 



Few suburban people realize the ease 

 with which spraying may be accom- 

 plished. Simply direct the spray material 

 well up into the top of the tree, and be 

 sure the foliage is well covered. By using 



Sherwin-Williams 



New Process 



ARSENATE OF LEAD 



you eliminate the possibility of foliage injury, because this 

 material is thoroughly neutral. It contains the maximum 

 amount of poison necessary to be effective and yet so thor- 

 oughly combined that it will not be liable to disintegrate on 

 exposure to air or moisture and cause burning. In addition 

 it has greater spreading power, covering the leaf more thor- 

 oughly, owing to its fineness, thus giving greater protection. 

 It has good adhesive and suspension qualities and is practical 

 for use by both the small and large growers. Put up in 

 metal packages. 



Use This Pump 



The S-W "One-Man" Spray-Pump is far better than the 

 average bucket or barrel-pump because it does not require 

 pumping and spraying at the same time. One man can use 

 it as well as two. Let us send you further information and 

 the price complete. 



Our 128-page booklet, entitled " Spraying a Profitable 

 Investment,' * is sent free for the asking. Drop us a post-card.

The Postoffice Department by a recent ruling 

 is experimenting on the shipment of magazines 

 by freight instead of fast mail. We are doing 

 our utmost to send the magazines as early as 

 possible, but if your magazine is late, take it 

 up with your local postmaster. 



IT SELLS IN SPITE OF US 



" 'A Plain American in England ' will not stop 

 selling. We got the sale down one month to 

 13 copies, but it is going up again — Probably too 

 cheap, 50c." 



Try the bookseller. He won't have it, but he 

 might order it for you.

Monroe Refrigerator Co., Station 14-E, Lockland, Ohio 



Your doctor will tell you that a refrigerator 

 which _ cannot be kept sweet, clean and 

 wholesome, as you can easily keep the Mon- 

 roe, is always dangerous to the health of 

 your family. The A/fonroe is the only re- 

 frigerator made with 



Solid Porcelain Compartments 



which can be kept free of breeding places for the 

 disease germs that poison food which in turn poisons 

 people. Not cheap "bath-tub" porcelain enamel, 

 but one solid piece of snow-white unbreakable por- 

 celain ware — nothing to crack, craze, chip, break 

 or absorb moisture — but genuine porcelain, over an 

 inch thick — as easily cleaned as a china bowl — 

 every corner rounded — not a single crack, crevice, 

 joint, screw-head or any other lodging place for dirt 

 and the germs of disease and decay. Send at once for 



FREE BOOK frigerators 



which explains all this and tells you how to materi- 

 ally reduce the high cost of living — how to have 

 better, more nourishing food — how to keep food 

 longer without spoiling — how to cut down ice 

 bills — how to guard against sickness — doctor's bills.
