~TeHE Lord & Thomas Agency has
grown to be the largest advertis-
ing agency in America through
the successful development of small
advertisers.
Today our volume of business
$4,000, 10000 per year represents the
appropriations of nearly 700 clients, so
the average appropriation is less than
100000 per year.
Some of our clients who started with
small appropriations are now placing
over $l00,000.00 yearly with u.s.. and
their businesses have grown and are
continuing to grow in proportion.
The great majority Of our clients are
now aplropriating less than 100000
per year. Our future growth depends
upon the development of these SIS, OOO.OO-

We want an opportunity to show you
how YOU can start advertising with
small appropriation and get into the

The small investor always is in
greatest need of protection for his

the cosT AND PREVENTION OF FIRES.

The international Society or Bulld-
ing Commissioners and inspectors has
issued bulleting urging more exact
[ ing requirements in building. 1t rec
1 onlmends that insurance rates on fire
traps should be made prohibitive, and
that taxation should be graduated an
building to the encouragement of bet
ter buildings. AS it is now, the bulletin
asserts the more man spendsa the
! letter he buildsrf the less protection
from the municipality he needs the
greater tax he has to pay. The soci-
ETY. would lower the tax ON the fire
proof building and raise that on the
!. fire trap.
Confined to the fire limits of large
city, the plan of taxation suggested
would be of value and probably bring
excellent results. However, in its ap-
Z plication to residences, if it were to be
SO applied. the manifest injustice of
the system is manifest The s150,Oo0
marble mansion of the millionaire
would gain an exemption at the eX-
pense of the frame cottage of the
struggling working man, and the poor
pay the tax Of the rich. Insurance rates
do not offer a solutior of the difficulty.
In a central location of busy bust
ness thorofare the owner of cheap
building can afford TO carry his own
insurance 1t is the man next door
who takes the greater chance.
Some facts and figures given in the
bulletin referred to are highly inter-
esting. There are I1,500,O00 buildings
in the country, valued at $14.500, 000.-
/ 900. OF that number only 1000 are of
fireproof construction, and that only
in SO far as the skeleton framework is
concerned. All of them can be dam
aged from 30 to 80 percent in a con-
fiagration; the others can be totally
wiped out of existence by fire, and the
country seems hard at work at the job.
Ninteen hundred five saw $500
3 0OO, 900 fof new buildings put
up. But, 5000. 100000 damage was
done by fire, and that in normal
+ year. Plus that 5000 900 attempt
ed fire prevention, in the way of fire
departments, water, etc, cost US $780,
100000. The average business man
seems imbued with the fool idea to
gamble with the insurance companies,
and take the risk Of letting his props
erty burn and being reimbursed by
them rather than building inuesctruc-
tibly in the first place. We did get

the farm as anywhere. The cause of
robust health upon the farm is the
pure air, exercise and absence of en-
ervating experiences that the city resi-
dent is subject to, but a foul sink
spout, cesspOOl, or water impregnated
with germs of disease is as fatal upon
the farm as i'm the city and should
be so considered.
The health officers i'm cities give con-
stant attention to disease breeding COLI

dares to disObey. But in the country
no such oversight is practiced and the
farmer has great responsibility in
protecting the health of Himself and

such conditions. The prevailing opin-

much to do in the matter of neglect

care and judgment, and for this rea-
son should be done by some one hav-
ing acquired the requisite experience.
AS in other things the best results
with the least expense are obtained
only by vigorous attention to details.
All details in fumigatiOn have two OBJ
jects in view: first, effectiveness;
second, economy. Effectiveness, of
course, demands accurate judgment as
to the qualities of the chemicals to
be used, and this must necessarily vary
according to the cubic space to be fill
ed with gas; or in other words, ac-
cOrding to the size of the tree. EX-
perienced fumigatOrS understand this,
and it cannot be too often repeated
that Orchardists should employ only

any apparent injury. Still L am
aware we could kill all the plants in

| am aware many contend that trees
are injured by it whenever there is
something wrong. l have grown and
handled trees for the past 40 years,
long before hydrocyanic gas was
thought of, and have seen many fail
ures, but they now are all set against
fumiga ton. If our legislature would
do away with all of our inspection
laws, many of which are unwiSe and
foolish, and enforce fumigatiOn under
the direction of our entOmOlogiSt,
everyone concerned would be benefit
ted; it is not only a safeguard against
San Jose scale, but many other insect
enemies now overlooked; among them
the Black aphis on the peach and the
Woody aphiS on the apple. The man
who wants his trees without fumiga-
ton ought to be compelled to make
and apply lime, salt and sulphur until
he was willing to take a dose of gas
to end his misery.
We received, some time ago,
bulletin from the Maryland Agri-
cultural Experiment Station entitled
Experiments with Fumigating Nursery
Stock.
1t is a large bulletin, - pages and
the experiments seem to cover the
ground fully and carefully.
1900 nursery trees were used, partly
apple and partly peach. Some were
fumigated in the fall and others in the
spring. They tested with varying
quantities of the gas, some of the
trees being exposed to the gas for 80
minutes and others for a full hour.
The trees were then planted in about
ten days after the fumigation. There
are several pages of tables showing
the effects OH different varieties of
both peach and apple trees. At the
close there is the following:
SUMMARY.
The results obtained from these eX-
periments on the whole may be con-
sidered very satisfactory and may be
summarized as follows:
First that no injury results from
fumigating dormant apple and peach
nursery stock, two years OF age or
over, with a strength of cyanide and
time OF exposure considerably ABOVE
that ordinarily recommended, where
due care is exercised i'll the operation.
Second, The results demonstrate that
there is no danger of injury to nursery
stock by proper fumigatiOn of the
nursery.
Third, That apparently fumigaion
of nursery trees in the fall with eX
cessive strength is more likely to show
injury than in the spring.
Fourth, That there is a difference
in the resisting power of apple and
peach trees, the latter being less in
Jured. Further, that some varieties
of apple included in this experiment,
viz: Winesap, Ben Davis, Maiden
Blush and York Imperial, fumigated
in the fall, apparently show less re-
sistance to the effects of the gas than
the others used.
