The shock compressor offered by J. B. 
Hughes, Greensburg, Ind., is a neat little 
device that will be found convenient and 
valuable to a great many. Write for price 
list—a sample costs only 45 cents. 
The 1901 illustrated catalogue of the E. 
W. Ross Co., Sprlngfleld, O., will be sent 
free to any reader asking for it. The im¬ 
plements made by this company have been 
on the market for more than 60 years, 
giving entire satisfaction to farmers in 
every part of the country. The Ross 
silage and fodder cutters are now made 
with blower attachment. The blower has 
been tested for three years, and the Ross 
Co. guarantee it to work satisfactory in 
every way. 
Fly time has no terrors for farmers who 
have a supply of So-Bos-So Kilfly on hand. 
It is hard to imagine any investment that 
will yield so large a return as the money 
spent to prevent flies from tormenting 
milch cows. The expense is slighL Write 
to Chas. H. Childs & Co., 12 La Fayette 
St.. Utica, N. Y., for prices and particu¬ 
lars. 
Where it is possible to do so, there Is 
certainly a great saving in buying direct 
from the manufacturer. A number of 
carriage manufacturers who formerly sold 
to dealers have now adopted the plan of 
selling direct. One of these is the Colum¬ 
bus Carriage and Harness Co., Columbus, 
O. The same grade of wagon sold by deal¬ 
ers can be had at a saving of from 10 to 
25 per cent. Send for illustrated catalogue. 
Interesting Canadian Notes. 
I have been thinking our weather here 
rather trying. 1 have nearly an acre sown 
with onion seed. It has come up very 
well, but for about three weeks the plants 
have remained at a stanastill, corn the 
same, that is, that came up. I have one 
piece of corn on lighter, warmer land that 
came up well, and with tlie weather of the 
few last days will now push ahead linely. 
Potatoes look well; also sugar beets. I 
am in doubt as to what 1 ought to do with 
the asparagus. The rust of the two past 
years has damaged it badly. Some of it 
I have had plowed up already. Shall 1 
plow up the rest is my problem. Pears 
and plums promised to be a large crop. 
’The trees were white with bloom. Wet 
weather and one night of frost have 
broken the promise; the crop will be fair 
only, and so perhaiis more profltable. I 
am trying four new varieties of potatoes 
from Michigan—Early Pink-eye, Early 
Pingree, Early Snowball and King of 
Michigan, all highly recommended, of 
course. 
After buying Aster seed, sowing it in 
the house and transplanting into a hot 
bed I discovered hundreds of plants ever 
so much flner growing in the bed where i 
had Asters last year. 1 have been able to 
supply over a dozen of my neighbors and 
friends with just as many as they would 
take. In this vicinity Winter apples will 
not be a good crop; but early and Fall 
apples will be, at least, if I may form an 
opinion from my few trees. Cherries 
promise well. I have a half-acre straw¬ 
berry patch. The Winter, though milder 
than usual, was severe on it. 'The plants 
were not as well covered as they ought to 
have been. I will look after them next 
time myself. Mild as was the Winter, 1 
hear of more complaint than usual of its 
hurtful effect on clover, on shrubs and 
on the trees. A third of my colonies of 
bees died through the Winter, and yet 
with all the cold wet weather I have had 
as large or larger proportion of early 
swarms as usual. I do not understand 
why! I wonder whether one can become 
immune to the stings of bees by their fre¬ 
quent repetition. 1 mind a sting very little. 
1 have seen some suffer more from the 
bite of a mosquito than I do from the 
sting of a bee. This year and last I sup¬ 
plied myself with flowering plants for my 
garden, such as carnations, geraniums. 
Verbenas, Fuchias, Salvias, Petunias, Co¬ 
leus, Alternantheras, heliotropes, etc., by 
buying “rooted cuttings.” These can be 
had for about $1.50 per 100, some a little 
more, some as low as 70 cents. Verbenas 
for instance. By putting these in a liot- 
bed they soon grow to fine plants. On 
May 26 I went to a place on the south 
shore of Georgian Bay, and was surprised 
to find the trees and garden stuff as far 
ahead as they were at home, though, 1 
think, this cannot be usual. The soil there 
is sandy and the rock not much below the 
surface. w. o. e.

“An ounce of prevention 1b worth a pound of

long sickness, if not something more serious.—Adw.

IMPRESSED UPON HIS NOTICE 
The various features for which the 
Lackawanna Railroad has become noted 
are involuntarily impressed upon the 
notice of the passenger, who realizes the 
luxury of hotel or club appointment in 
the electric lights ; the smooth running 
journals of the wheels; the extraordi¬ 
nary cleanliness made possible by the 
use of anthracite coal, avoiding all dust 
and nauseating smoke; the consciousness 
of being always on time—which comforts 
force an ease of mind and body most 
favorable to the enjoyment of the un¬ 
surpassed scenery through which the 
lines pass. It is but the natural sequence 
that the Lackawanna is prosperous in 
like degree to its excellence of service, 
and its warm friends are equal in num¬ 
ber to its whole list of patrons, for once 
to test its service means an ardent ad¬ 
mirer and friend earned for the road. 
Van Etten Breese.— Adv. 
The New Horticulture 
BY H. M. STRINCRELLOW. 
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, 60 cents.
