BUSWESS BITS. 
Prepare now for those berries which 
will be ready for market in a few weeks. 
If you have not yet purchased baskets, 
write South Side Mfg. Co., Petersburg, Va., 
or Webster Basket Co., Webster, N. Y. 
Both firms are reliable, and will send you 
just what they agree. 
Fruit growers have realized at last that 
they must spray thoroughly every year in 
order to insure a crop. They can’t afford 
to take chances on the occasional off years, 
when a crop can be grown without spray¬ 
ing. Spray every year is a good motto. 
Ross Bros., Worcester, Mass., offer a 
practical outfit at a reasonable price. 
Grant Ferris Co., Troy, N. Y., make a 
specialty of straight-straw thrashing ma¬ 
chines. They guarantee the machines to 
thrash wheat and rye perfectly clean with¬ 
out breaking the straw, and then bind the 
straw in bundles. This machine can be 
changed to an oat thrasher in a few min¬ 
utes, and takes less floor space than other 
outfits. Write for Catalogue B.; address 
as above. 
In the past several years certain manu¬ 
facturers and others, with that knowledge 
and unbounded faith born of experience, 
have been sending out all sorts of things 
to the farmer to be first tried by him and 
paid for only after he is convinced of their 
merit and satisfied with the bargain. So 
far as we know, however, the Kalamazoo 
Carriage & Harness Co., of Kalamazoo, 
Mich., is the first firm in the United States 
offering to send out carriages, buggies, 
wagons, harness, etc., on this plan. This 
appeals to us as being about as fair and 
open a method of doing business as it is 
possible to adopt. We have used a wagon, 
made by this firm, and have found it sat¬ 
isfactory and first class in every particular.

Hard-coal ashes is the thing to dust the

The New Horticulture 
BY H. M. STRINCF^ELLOW, 
We do not hesitate to say that this is one of the most 
interesting books on horticulture that ever was printed. 
Most reading farmers have heard of the now famous 
“Stringfellow Method” of planting trees, but few 
understand clearly what it is. This book tells the whole 
story in clear cut, forcible style, which all can under¬ 
stand. Not only is the theory of close root-pruning 
carefully explained, but the general principles of garden¬ 
ing and fruit-growing are discussed. Mr. Stringfellow 
is a practical gardener, and he gives his own experience. 
We commend the book to all without reserve. New 
Edition, paper covers, 50 cents. 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York.
