We believe, in presenting this pamphlet to the farmer, stock
breeder, housewife, and the public, that our interest is also your
interest. We have endeavored to say a little on each subject —
the cow, the horse, the pig and the sheep, your carpets and
clothes, your sick room where disease germs loiter, and also your
flowering plants, shrubs and fruit trees. We come to you to
destroy that which is damaging and destroying whtit you are
undoubtedly endeavoring to protect. Space prevents us from
entering into details, so we deal direct with facts only. We know
it to be to your interest to study the contents of this pamphlet,
and to retain it until our next issue. We shall, from time to
time, give you interesting reading matter. We intend to have
you write to us on any subject that comes under the heading of
our products. We repeat we want you interested in our affairs,
and to know that what is beneficial to you is likewise the same

3

to us. We want you to look forward to our next issue with
interest. We shall endeavor to keep you in touch with oursehes.

....JUST A MOMENT.. ■■

tWe know your time is valuable. So is everybody's.
^ We find it so. We spent a few valuable moments
preparing this pamphlet,for your benefit as well as our
own. If you own a horse, which most likely you do,
it is then your duty and pleasure to look after his
appearance and comfort. We are going to say just as little as
possible, so as not to tire you with useless reading matter. We
have spent a large amount of money on Persiatic Horse Wash to
bring it to that high standard it has obtained. We say it with
no little pride, that Persiatic Horse Wash does do all we claim
for it, and that it excels anything and everything of its kind on
the market to-day. It is the very best curative for all skin dis-
eases, it is the very best tonic, it is the very best thing to clean
the skin of nits and vermin and brighten the pelt as no other
remedy has done or can do. I'he care, the work, the knowledge,
the machinery, expert chemists and veterinarians employed to
perfect Persiatic Horse Wash, leaves no room for doubt to our
claim.

An antiseptic and healing preparation of highly concentrated
curative qualities for use on horses in all skin diseases and attacks
of vermin. Cures Scratches, Bruises, Mange, Ringworm, Grease,
Eczema, Papules, Uticarea, Pityriases, etc. Has no drastic or ir-
ritating effects and cures the worst cases. Invaluable for use in
cases of all insect pests.

Mr. Robert Graham, one of Canada's great horse fanciers,

and judge at the Madison Square Horse Show, New York, says :

" Some weeks ago we found one of our Draft Brood .Mares was
very itchy and scurvy in the legs. From the good reports we had
lieard of your Persiatic Horse Wash, we concluded to try it. We
have found it an excellent preparation, having made three applications
on mare's legs, and can say it has perfectly healed the leg and eradi-
cated all itchy symptoms. We can recommend it to all horsemen
for skin diseases on horses, and believe if used according to directions
it will cure most obstinate cases."

N. B — Mr. Robert Graham, of Messrs. Graham Bros., was
appointed judge at the last (ireat Horse Show held at Madison
Square Garden, New York City. This exceptional honor confer-
red on a Canadian speaks volumes. The high standing of Messrs.
(iraham Bros., of Claremont, Ont., in Canada, the United States
and Great Britain will leave no question of doubt about their tes-
timonial and should recommend Persiatic Horse Wash to all
horse owners, breeders, dealers and farmers. Persiatic Horse
Wash is a remedy that should always be kept on hand, and the
moment any symptoms of skin diseases appear, it should immedi-
ately be applied. Persiatic Horse Wash is endorsed by the high-
est horse fancier authorities as the only Common-Sense Wash for
all skin diseases on Horses and Cattle.

Gentlemen, — Having used all sorts of remedies for scratches on
horses, and with no success whatever, 1 concluded that which could

not "be cured must be endured." I recently heard of your Persiatic
Horse Wash and concluded to try it. After using it a few days ac-
cording to directions, horses so affected were completely cured. I
have since heard the very best reports on Persiatic Horse Wash and
am also pleased to add mv praises

The Pickhardt Renfrew Co., Stouffville, Ont.

Gentlemen, — After having used a number of cans of your Per-
siatic Sheep and Animal Dip, I am free to say that it is the best Dip
I have ever used. It goes further and does better work than any
other. It is certainly the Dip I shall use in future. I would also say
that recently I castrated a number of lambs the worst time of the year,
and I must say that your Dip healed wounds rapidly, and kept mag-
gots out. I firmly believe that yours is the very best all-round Dip on
the market to-day, and recommend same accordingly.

(Signed) G. A'. BRODIE.

Every farmer should have it on hand for his live stock. Strong
dips used on lambs causes the ewes to refuse sucking. After castra-
ting only use Persiatic Laml) Wash on calves, lambs, colts, and other
young animals.

THAT DANGEROUS DISEASE

^^ Sheep Scab,

M% and ....

\ How to Treat It

This is a disease not generally well known to ihe average
Farmer, and its first symptoms are usually attributed to lice or
vermin, manifested by an uneasiness by the Sheep so infected.
About the first thing noticed is the pawing with hind foot between
the fore legs. Another symptom is the pulling of wool, also the
constant desire to rub up against rail fences or buildings. So
annoying does the disease become that the Sheep soon lose flesh
and eventually their appetite. When this stage is reached the
matter becomes alarming, and generally ends fatally, as vitality is
about gone. It is a well-known fact that the disease is highly

contagious, and the moment it is noticed. Sheep so infected
should be isolated. We recommend the simple treatment of im-
mediately shearing the Sheep closely, putting thern in warm quar-
ters with good ventilation (if Scab appears in winter), feeding
them on substantial food. After Sheep have been sheared the
scab or sores should be carefully looked for and broken up, so
that each sore is open. Prepare Persiatic Sheep Dip previous to
breaking sores, so as to have it ready for dipping the moment all
the sores on Sheep are broken, by taking one part Persiatic Sheep

9

Dip and twentv parts tepid water. Have a vat large enough to
stand sheep in so as to cover whole body, holding nose above
bath and leaving Sheep stand in bath from three to five minutes.
This operation should be repeated every three or four days-
Sheep should be kept housed until all symptoms of disease have
disappeared. When Sheep have Scab they should be taken in
hand immediately. If part of flock have not got the Scab, but
have been in contact with Scabby Sheep, they should all be dip-
ped two or three times in the same solution, in a different vat and
place, so that they will not come into further contact with the
Scabby part of the flock until all are thoroughly well. It is wise
to shear all Sheep in the flock, even if only one or two are Scabby,
and all should be dipped in a solution of Persiatic Sheep Dip in
proportions as above mentioned. If one Sheep in the flock has
Scab it follows that the balance of the flock will sooner or later
develop it. Scab is considered the most contagious and fatal
disease among Sheep and should be looked for. This article was
prepared under instructions of one of Canadas foremost Fancy
Sheep Breeders. For Lice, Nits and Vermin on Sheep and all
animals, Persiatic Sheep Dip, used according to directions, will do
its work perfectly.

Persiatic Plant 5pray

Awarded Bronze Medal and Diplomas
At Toronto, Ottawa, London and Sherbrooke.

It has been a matter of much concern of recent years to get

a plant spray that would effectively destroy all kinds of insects that

infest trees, shrubs, flowering plants and vegetables and which

would not destroy the plant or tree on which used, and also not

10

be a menace to human or animal life. We place before the
public our Persiatic Plant Spray, which from practical trials made
by experienced men has proven a perfect spray on all kinds of
vegetation, for the destruction of insect life, and in no wise be
destructive to the plant or tree on which used. Expense is a
matter also to be taken into consideration. If Persiatic Plant
Spray is used judiciously, it is as inexpensive as any spray that
has been before the public. A spraying apparatus that will throw
a mist is most advantageous and in the long run pays for itself.
As a rule cheap spraying devices have been used, proving an
actual loss of four-fifths of liquid spray being used. Frequent
spraying with a non-poisonous liquid to the plants has proven
most effective. Persiatic Plant Spray is a food to vegetation in
so far that it is stimulating to the leaves. W'e are not prepared to
recommend any particular spraying device, but a sprayer that will
throw a fine mist is under all circumstances the best. One gallon
of water should cover a good-sized apple tree if properly applied.
We have seen many instances where five gallons of spray were used
on one tree and most disastrous effect to the tree. All goods put
up by us bear our registered trade marks and designs, a guarantee
of strength and quality.

The most effectivs and highly concentrated spray
in the market. Has successfully coped with the dreaded
San Jose Scale, and readily destroys all orchard and gar-
den pests such as grubs, worms, brown-rot, curled leaf,
caterpillars, and all forms of animal life or fungi. Con-
tains no mineral poisons such as Arsenic or Paris
Green, and is endorsed by leading gardeners and nurserymen
all over Canada. Price 65 Cents Per Can.
Mr. Daniel B. Hoovkr, Almira, Ont., .says :
" I have used your Persiatic Plant Spray and find it works to
perfection. In three applications it killed every insert on plants
infested to the extent that I counted 24 insects on a single leaf I
heartily recommend your preparation, it is sure death to insects."

PERSIATIC = = =
POULTRY POWDER,

i

If used as per directions, will quickly free poultry and poul-
try houses from all kinds of vermin cheaply and thoroughly. It
is a safe and sure remedy for lice of all kinds on anything and
anywhere. It is harmless to human and animal life. For setting
hens it is especially recommended. It will not injure chickens,
eggs or chicks, but it will soon rid the nest and hens of vermin.
If used liberally during the hatching season, it will ensure the
lives of many little chicks that would otherwise succumb to ver-
min. When poultry-keeping does not pay, lice is often the cause ;
they worry their victims and subtract vitality that should go into
flesh and eggs. They weaken the fowls, and thus make them a
very easy prey to disease. The use of this powder not only kills
the lice, but purifies the premises and wards off distempers and
all kinds of disease.

Recommended by Poultry Editors, Judges and Breeders all
over the land. Price, 25 cents.

Persiatic Hot House

Powder

The purpose in placing Persiatic Hot House Fumigating
Powder before the public has been to fill a want that all (iarden-
ers, Hot House owners, and persons growing House plants have
been as yet unable to fill. The burning of tobacco stems is a
most disagreeable and tedious task. Persiatic Hot House Fumi-
gating Powder is the pure extract of tobacco, prepared in such a
manner as to make it far more effective than the burning of the
ordinary tobacco stems, and which cannot possibly be done in
any room in the house. But with Persiatic Hot Hou.sc Fumi-
gating Powder it is not only possible, but has the advantage of
disinfecting the room or building in which used. One-half pound

Persiatic Fumigating Powder costs 25 cents, which is twice as
cheap as tobacco stems, and is far more penetrating and effective
and not as injurious to the plants as the burning tobacco stems.
Persiatic Hot House Fumigating Powder is manufactured at our
own Factories and Laboratories. All goods manufactured by us
bear our own trade marks and designs, which is a guarantee of
strength and purity.

Persiatic Pig Wasli.

A prominent breeder has adopted the practice of dipping his
pigs when from 4 to 12 weeks old, and claims that it is a
great benefit. We give his experience in his own words :

Having a number of pigs, I noticed that when 8 to 10 weeks
old, old enough to wean, some of them were not doing just as I
would like to have them ; some of them were lousy, some a little

17

mangy, and others looked measleyfied ; I had used kerosene
and it did not have the desired effect. I was disappointed, but
had some Persiatic Pig Wash in store, seeing it was good for lice
and mange and sk'n diseases in Pigs, concluded to try it on the
pigs in the following manner :

I put in a barrel 25 gallons of water and one quart of dip,
and stirred it up good, then dipped the pigs. Never saw such a
change; not over 15 minutes' work. Left barrel in pen, and
whenever I saw a pig the least wrong in the skin, I dumped it
in the barrel of dip. I have the cleanest, nicest lot of shoats
ever raised, and advise all raisers of hogs to try it. Dip your
pigs several times at 4 to 12 weeks old and see for yourselves.
It will more than save the price in feed, better growth ; kills all
lice and humor in skin, besides disinfects them.

The subject of Dipping Pigs has come prominently before
both breeders of fine or high-grade pigs and also breeders for
market purposes. The above clipping is one of many experiences,
and we may say as pioneers of introducing the Persiatic Pig Wash,
made specially to meet the requirements of the pig, we have been
successful beyond all expectations in the sale of Persiatic Pig
Wash. Unsolicited testimonials speak for themselves, of which
the following is a fair sample :

.Stol KFVii.i.K, Ont., December 9th, 1898.
The Fickhakdt I^enkrj;\v Co., Stouffvilie, Ont.

Gentlemen, — Some time ago I was induced to buy a can of your
Persiatic I'ig Wash, as I was advised it was a perfect insect destroyer
of all kinds of vermin on live stock. I have a number of pigs, which
were simply infested with lice, so much that when feeding they had
to frequently stop and scratch themselves. I made one application
of your Persiatic Pig Wash, as per directions, and I am very pleased
to say that in three days time the change in the pigs was so noticeable
that I made it my business to tell my neighbors ahout the splendid
results. It simply cleaned the lice out, made the pigs rest and eat in
comfort, and certainly acts like a tonic. I would advise washing
pigs from time to time with Persiatic Pig Wash, lice or no lice. It
does them good, they seem to relish the results.

J. .\. TODD, Grain Merchant, .Stouflrvillc.

We have studied the pecuHar action of different dips ^*
on pigs, and found that although the results of dips
used were apparently satisfactory, we concluded that a
dip specially prepared for pigs would be more satisfac-
tory than any other dip made for sheep, cattle or horses.
It would be remembered that the skin and flesh of a pig is en-
tirely different from that of a sheep, cow or horse. One might as
well say, take a liniment made for a horse and use it on man.
Undoubtedly it would relieve the pain it was intended to remove
and probably it would remove a good chunk of skin and flesh
where applied on man. The comparison between a sheep skin
and a pig skin is equal to a comparison between a horse
skin and human skin. The action of a sheep, cattle
or horse wash would be equal in results as above comparison, but
in a different manner. The effect would not be noticeable
directly, but its influence (the sheep wash used on a pig) would
show itself, if use is persisted in, by producing cracked skin.
This condition in a Pig is highly detrimental, causing slow
growth, loss of appetite, and if pigs are ready for market, a loss
of at least, ic. per lb., and often making them unsaleable. A box
sunk in ground, large enough to havt^ a full sized * pig covered
with liquid when standing in box, water tight, with lid securely
fastened when not in nse will be found of great advantage and
benefit. A monthly dipping of pigs, we believe, and experience
shows it, will pay many times over for the slight expense and
trouble gone to.

Persiatic Pig Wash is put up in 25c., 50c. and $1 cans, and
is for sale at all stores.

Price $1.25, delivered, charges paid.

THROWS THREE STREAMS

MANUFACTURED UV THE

Pickhardt Renfrew Co., Limited, Stouffville, Onl, Canada

Use Persiatic Plant Spray. All Paris Green mixtures are
dangerous and should be avoided.

In some sections Paris (ireen is first mixed with
flour or land plaster and applied with a sifter.
This is not only laborious and costly, but the
operator is often made ill by breathing the dust
charged with the poison. The advantage of our
Sprayer over that method is obvious. The ob-
jection to the use of poisoncil water when used in the ordinary
sprayer or sprinkler has been the waste of material. It was im-
possible to thoroughly saturate the vine without wasting ten times

■Hi

It is Sure
Death to

Bugs

as much liquid as would remain to poison the bugs. By the use
of our Sprayer a fine cloud-like spray reaches every portion of
the vine and leaves it saturated, just as foliage appears after a
fog. Bugs don't eat half a dozen leaves before they receive their
"death blow." If you raise potatoes you can't afford to be with-
out the Cyclone Sprayer.

WHY ODR SPRAYER IS BETTER THAN OTHERS OF SIMILAR CONSTRUCTION:

I St. — Because the reservoir is galvanized iron, and will not
cor ode or rust.

2nd. — Because the feeding tubes are brass, and will not cor-
rode or rust.

3rd. — Because the plunger is backed and reinforced by metal
(not wood), which is shaped to the natural conformation of the
leather washer when in action.

4.th. — Because the end of the air chamber is metal and de-
tachable.

5th. — Because it has three openings and three times the
capacity of the ordinary single jet sprayer.

6th. — Because the sprayer is larger and will spray farther.

A careful comparison of the Tri-Jet Cyclone Spr.wer,
point by point with other hand sprayers, is all; that is needed
to convince a man it is " the best sprayer made."

FOR SHRUBS AND VINES

The Cyclone Sprayer is no less adapted to use in treating
vines and shrubs of all kinds, such as Rose Bushes, Currant
Bushes, Grape Vines, etc. The Cyclone Sprayer can also be
u.sed in blowing hellebore or other dry powder upon Rose Bushes
Currant Bushes, etc., and is more effective than any other blower
on the market. Use Persiatic Plant Spray.

If you cultivate flowers or small fruits, you can't afford to be
without the Cyclone Sprayer.

IT IS USED IN THE HENNERY.— There is no sprayer
which will accomplish half so much in cleaning the " hen-house "
of lice and other vermin V'ou can't make hens lay and breed
lice at the same time. If you raise hens you can't afford to be
without the Cyclone Sprayer. Use Persiatic Hen House Spray.

FOR FLIES ON CATTLE AND HORSES —It is a well-
known fact that cows cannot give a good flow of milk in the
summer time when they are pestered with flies. From an
economical standpoint, as well as humane, it is to the interest of
every farmer to spray his cattle with cattle oil or some of the
many preparations for keeping off flies. The Cyclone Sprayer
will do it cheaper and better than any other. Use Persiatic
Cattle Fly Spray.

UEAk Sirs, — I have been using a common sprayer during the
last two years, sprayinj; potato buf(s,and I find it is the best instuiment
or machine for thai purpose. .Although mine is wortli more than any-
thing known l)efore, I must say that the Sprayer Mr. Lacroix is show-
ing me is far Ijetter and more complete than mine. I recommend it
to the public as the best machine of that kind, and Ijy so doing I am
confident I will be doing the faimers a great favor. Yours truly,

JOSEF'H CASCiRALN.

Mr. Desire Lamontague, of lieilechasse County, Que., says :
For the two weeks I ha\ e been using the .Sprayer I got from
you I don't hesitate to tell you that it lias paid for itself several
times by the economy I have realized on Paris Green I can tell you
that this small apparatus is one of the best of all agricultural ma-
chines, and I don't know how anyone who tried it could say other-
wise, for it is light and very easy to handle, so that a child can do the
work as well as a man. I use from 10 to 15 pounds of Paris Green
each year, but this season 1 >^ or 2 pounds was enough. Useless to say
I am very well satisfied with it.

The riitchell Hand Sprayer.

The best and cheapest Sprayer on the market. Throws the
finest spray of any sprayer made. This machine, which is very
strong and highly pohshed, is made of the best quaUty of mate-
rial that can be procured, and only the best workmen are employed.

A Few Questions Answered Concerning' Hand Sprayers

No I. — What is a Perfect Hand Sprayer? Answer. — A
Sprayer which throws a perfect spray of either liquid or dry powder.
No. 2. — Who was the original inventor of the Hand Sprayer?
Answer. — C. H. Mitchell, of IJtica, N.Y., first invented and per-
fected the Hand Sprayer in Utica, N.Y., in February, 1896, and
since that time this Sprayer has been introduced to the largest
florists, gardeners and fruit growers throughout the United States
and Canada who have tested it and given it the highest recom-
mendation. It throws a spray as fine as a cloud of smoke, which
being damp adheres to the plant, completely covering every por-
tion with the poison. It is light, easy to handle, and does more
rapid work than any other sprayer. It will be necessary for
every household in the land to have one of these machines when
its value is known. The capacity of work for which it is adapted
is unlimited. We only ask that a trial be made to show its value.
There is no insect living that it will not destroy when the proper
liquids are used. We also furnish recipes with each sprayer,
which will kill all bugs and insects injurious to plant life.

Other manufacturers have changed the form and manufac-
tured so-called Sprayers under other names. They look all right,
but why is it they do not give satisfaction ? The reason is that
the manufacturers of the Mitchell Hand Sprayer have control of
certain vital parts without which a Sprayer will not throw that
fine smoke-like spray which stamps the Mitchell as the ONLY
Perfect Hand Sprayer on the market. Every Sprayer is guaran-
teed to do perfect work. Even competitors pay tribute to the
excellency of our Sprayer by copying our 1897 circulars in their
1899 catalogues.

What the Secretary of the Ontario Fruit Experimental
Station says :

Grimsby, Novembers, 1898.
Gentlkmex,— I have been using the Mitchell Hand Sprayer at
this station during the past season for destroying thrips, aphidis,
fungi, potato beetles, and all such enemies of the gardener, and
find it the most convenient thing in the garden I ever handled.
The large orchard pumps are too cumbersome for the garden,
and this one is so light and convenient and always ready for use.
I have several orchard pumps, but would not be without this Hand
Sprayer for four times its cost. L. WOOLVERTON, M.A.

THE SPRHM0T0R

PAINTING, WHITEWASHING & SPRAYING MACHINE

HEARD'S PATENTS: CANADA, 1895, 1897 ; D.S., 1899.

" The law is that the agricul-
tural schools and farms shall aid
the farmer by means of experi-
ments, farm managements, in-
vestigations of special difficulties,
by lectures, publications and
teaching. This has been done,
yet we found it to be a fact that
the majority of the farmers have
not been personally touched by
these great enterprises. Much
of the teaching is necessarily too
advanced to appeal to the gen-
eral farmer. Scientific knowledge is far in advance of the best
farm practice. The farmer must be awakened and educated.
How ? "

The above extract from Bulletin 159, January, 1899, pub-
lished by the Cornell University Experimental .Station, aptly ex-
presses the difificulty attending any effort to reach the farmers.

In Canada we believe the farmers are in advance of their
fellows in any country in the world, and are to a greater extent
than others putting the knowledge oV)tained from scientific
experiment to practical use. The farmers of Ontario have cer-
tainly been awakened to the advantages of spraying, which is

mainly owing to the efforts of the Department of Agriculture,
during the past five years, in demonstrating to them, in various
places throughout the province, the proper way to spray. The
Department at the outset came to the conclusion that if success
was to be attained they must have good machines to work with,
and in order to settle the much disputed point as to which was
the best spraying apparatus, invited all the manufacturers of
spraying appliances to come and test their machines in actual
work, under judges appointed by the Fruit Growers' Association
of 0)itario, which was done by all those having confidence in
their apparatus, and which included the best machines made in
Canada and the United States. The result of this trial was to
effectually dispel all doubt as to
which appliance was the best,
and proved that there was no
longer need of going out of
Canada for spraying appliances,
but rather that the Americans
were so com{>letely excelled that
they are now importing .spraying
apparatus from the Spramotor
Co., even against an almost pro-
hibitive duty.

This trial, placing as it did
the Spramotor first, has saved
the farmers and fruit growers of
Canada thousands of dollars by
preventing them from buying
poor, cheap and hard-working
pumps, which have done more
to discourage the practice of

spraying than all other causes combint-d, as well as tht
quent loss and disgust in their use.

conse-

Our object in this catalogue is to show the various spraying
apparatus that are made and patented by us and sold under the
name " Spramotor,'' which is a new coined word owned by us for
trade mark purposes. All goods sold under this name are fully
warranted tirst-class from a standpoint of workmanship and
materials, and guaranteed to give complete satisfaction in com-
petent hands, for we will cheerfully take back any goods sent out
by us that prove faulty in any respect, returning the money paid
for them or replacing them with perfect machines.

JUDOKS' OFFICIAL AWARD.

This is to certify that at the contest of Spraying Apparatus, held at
(irimsby under the auspices of the Board of Control of the Fruit
Experimental Stations of Ontario, in which there were eleven con-
testants, the Spramotor, made by the Spramotor Co., of London,
Ont.. was awarded FIRST PLACE.

H. L. HUTT,
M. PETTIT,

Judges.

Since the contest, the details of the Spramotor has been
greatly changed and improved. A new compensating plunger,
new nozzles, new attachments for strainer, new hand valve, drip
guard, and an entirely new machine in three sizes — the Spramo-
tor Jr. — has been invented and added. We have also patented
an attachment for making mechanical kerosene mixtures, com-
pletely doing away with the old style kerosene emulsion.

The Spramotor has grown and appropriated the attention of
those best qualified to know what a spraying equipment should
be, not only in Canada, but in the United States as well, and is
due to the fact that, before commencing to manufacture, exhaus-
tive scientific experiments were made by the inventor, who is an
expert mechanical engineer as well as an extensive fruit grower,
wherein all the various features that go to make ' up a spraying
equipment, were thoroughly tested in actual work, with the result
that what was thought impossible by the old-line makers of
spraying apparatus is daily demonstrated in the Spramotor.

Department of Agriculture, Ontario,

Toronto', Aug. 28, 1896.

Ueak Sir, — I have yreat pleasure in stating that the Spramotor

ordered from your Company this season has given entire satisfaction.

It works easily, and is very effective in its operation. Your Company

deserves much credit for placing so excellent a pump on the market.

Yours \erv truly,

JNO. DRYDEN.

Minister of Agriculture.

Mr. \V. H. Heard, Manager of -Spramotor Co., London, Ont.

In constructing the Spramotor the inventor recognized the
fact that no apparatus existed which could use the various spray-
ing mixtures without serious and rapid deterioration. The effort
made to supply the need and combine the expert knowledge of
the mechanic with the practical experience of the orchardist is
seen in the universal approval with which the Spramotor has
been received, being pronounced by all the various authorities as
being the first successful effort to supply a practical working
machine that completely fills the requirements.

The cost 01 spraying having been reduced to such a low
figure, it need not cost the fruit grower any anxiety, as the results
are so clearly in favor of the operation. In fact, intelligent people
no longer question the advisability of spraying. They have
learned that their fruit and crops can be saved by spraying, at an
expense that is relatively trifling. No successful orchardist or
progressive farmer needs to-day to be told that in order to obtain
sound fruit, or indeed in many cases any fruit at all, he must
adopt the best available means of destroying both fungi and
insect pests. When spraying trees and shrubs always use Persiatic
Tree Spray. .Avoid Paris Green — it is dangerous and in time
will kill your trees.

Note what the largest manufacturer of farm implements
under the British flag says :

Spra.motor Company, London, Ont.

(icntlemen, — The machines for spraying and whitewashinj,'^ you
have supplied to Dentonia Park Farm have done their woik well, and
are quite satisfactory. I could not have believed there was so much
value in spraying fruit trees. We had a good crop of apples, where-
as our neighbors, who used no spraying apparatus, had practically
none. Yours truly,

The Willowmead Fumigator

A Practical Apparatus for Vaporizing Fluid

or Solid Insecticides, Disinfectants

and Medicinal Agents.

Powerful, Safe, Durable, Convenient,
Simple, Effective and Inexpensive.

Needed by every Flower Grower, Phy=
sician. Board of Health and Private
Sanitarium.

(Patent Applied for.)

It displaces kerosene stoves, red-hot irons and other incon-
venient, ineffective and dangerous appliances. In its improved,
simplified form this veritable " Little (iiant" will be found to fill
a widespread need as a means of generating fumes or vapors
destructive to germs or mature forms of Greenhouse Pests, and
Fungoid and other parasites producing injury or disease in plants

29

or man. Its evolution has been the result of much study and
experiment to furnish an effective, yet inexpensive and convenient
means for producing the desired result. It consists of only three
parts, viz. : A combined base, lamp, cup and handle ; a lamp
burner ; and a combined concentrating cylinder and evaporating
pan. Wood alcohol is used to generate heat in it, one cent's
worth of which will evaporate two fluid ounces of the preparation
used. The peculiar form of this apparatus allows of a quick and
convenient filling of the lamp cup, concentrates and centers the
the flame on the bottom of the evaporating pan, and prevents
waste of heat from side drafts. Such air as is needed for com-
bustion, and no more, is drawn up and around the lamp cup,
keeping it cool A ridge around the base catches any accidental
overflow of the fluids used. The peculiar manner of connecting
the handle with the base of the appara'us keeps it cool for hand-
ling. The tall cylinder concentrates and conserves the heat and
allows of its being handled by its lower and cool part. Ordinary
candle wick or a rolled kerosene lamp wick is used in the burrer.
All the parts are very durable, being made of cast iron, galvanized
iron and copper. It will last a lifetime. A number can be
carried by their handles in each hand and quickly distributed
and operated in any greenhouse, dwelling or apartment.

This apparatus is not a toy. It is constructed for
practical work. Being inexp.^nsive, a number can be con-
venitntly operated and thus an effective and abundant supply of
the vapor or gas used can be quickly generated wherever needed ;
be that in closets, corners or open spaces.

Physicians will find this apparatus invaluable for disin-
fecting their clothing in a closet or small room after visiting
contagious cases. It will economically and quickly evaporize
formaldehyde or any other disinfectant. This fumigator will be
found the most effective apparatus for disinfecting dwellings

M

schools, hospitals, cars, vessels, hotels, etc. They can he used
to destroy insects and germs in bedrooms, kitchens, laundry, hen-
houses and stables. As a bedside generator of pure or medicated
aqueous vapor it is invaluable. To the plant-man and flower
grower the Willowmead Fumigator will be found indispensable to
disseminate any of the concentrated fungicides or insecticides in
vapor or gaseous form, either in the greenhouse, disinfecting
closet or plant tent. By using several fumigators two or more
insecticidal agents can be generated and applied at one time, and
the vapors or gases may be evenly diffused, and thus effects
secured not otherwise attainable.

Price, $2.25; per case of six fumigators, $12.00. Orders
must be accompanied by cash in the form of postal or express
orders drawn in favor of the manufacturers.

Special attention is called to the Persiatic Fumigating Pow-
ders and Persiatic Fumigating Liquids put up by the Pickhardt
Renfrew Co. of Stouffville, Ont , Canada, especially adapted for
use in Hot Houses, Outbuildings, Hospitals, and Homes.
