EXCELSIOR is composed of 700 pounds of
No. Peruvian Guano, and 1900 pounds of SOL
uple Phosphate Of Limo Clones dissolved in
sulphuric aeid,) potash and soda. forming the
most concentrated, universal and durable Ter.
tilizer ever offered to the farmer-combining all
the stimulating properties of Peruvian Gusno,
and the evor durable tertilizing properties OF
Ground Bones-supplyingan abundance OF Am
monis for any crop, and all soils, and IN per-
tectly fixed condition-not VOLATILE and passin &
off with the first crop, as with PERUVIAN ana
other ammoni cal gusnos, but stimulating the
crop to which is is applied, and all succeeding
ones, giving to poor, worn out and unproduct-
i've soils new life and vigor, making them, 10
this respect, equal to the most highly Guilt
waited lands, upon which much time and money
have beer expended.
EXCELSIOR as introduced in 1858, and we
challenge the manufacturers and vendors of fer
tilzers, natural or artificial Gusno, to show re-
suits go invariably successful as can DO shoTn
from its use One of the PROPR1EIORSS U-
PERINTENDS IN PERSON EVERY MIN
UTE OF ITS MAN UFACTURE,a and there
fore warrant every bag uniform, and to contain
by analysis the standard of fertiizing proper
ties, giving that protection to the farmer which
he does not have in the purchase OF any other
Guano or Fertilizer sold.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder. prepared ex.
pressly for drilling. and can be applied IN any
quantity per acre, however small; and it is the
opinion of the most prominent and calculating
farmers, after TWELVE years experience in
testing it side by side with other popular fertil-
izers, that an application of 100 pounds of Ex-
sor is equal to 200 to 900 pounds of any other
Fertilizer or Gusno offered for sale, and there
fore is fully 100 to zoo per cent cheaper.
The very best evidence we can offer OF
the value Of Excelsior as a crop grower and
fertilizer, is the fact of its being initiated and
counterfsted. Some unprincipled msnufsc'
turers have actually used the trade mark for
the purpose of pslming off their worthless COM

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST %.

PARIS FASHIONS. The hair is worn falling
low on the neck, from high on the top of the
head, 10 braids or culs. False hair is abso
lutely necessary; the 6nest chevelure would not
suffice for the fashion. Large balls and daises
of jet are mixed with the tresses, as are also l,
bows, of China Grape, which are set on the
crown of the head or on the side Hats arc
made expressly to suit the centuries. hmoDs
the new styles are the Huguenot' OF pIo"n
straw, with the brim lined With maroon VelVel'
and trimmed with two large feathers,ono Ia
room and one ecru. Maroon hats and n 1N
are much in vogue among others; the r1n.a'
napes bonnet, of rice straw, turDod up pehinu,
with large crepe de Chine bow win irl OK
ends. and TUFTS of blue or pink teatners' lhls
is dress bonnet for evening.
HA1R.-A decided change is anticipated IN
the arrangement of the hair. At present the
simplest styles prevail, and not only misses,
and young ladies, but married ladies, are seen
at the summer hotels, with two long bralds
hanging down behind, school girl fashion, OF
what is still more unique, only one braid la
Chinaman The braids may be made to look
more luxurious by being crimped over night,
and can be braided over switches. This Is the
most approved style for morning. Later IN
the day the braids are looped up in cbatelaine
style and fastened with jet pins. For evening,
puffs, braids and waterfall curls are WORD, but
there is greater attempt to conceal false nall
than formerly, and an evident tendency to dis
play the natural contour of the head.

drinking In short, we want some
thing that will make farmer a bet
ter farmer 10 make him so intelli-
gent that he may not be the victim
of every operator who may wish to
fleece him. The seed corn business
will cost the farmers thousands of
dollars, without any corresponding
benefit. The changing ofseed is not
to be ignored, but this can be done
at small-cost. At the North, when
corn is not so thoroughly ripeDed be-
fore frost, and with large cob, it
should be hung up to cure out, or
put in some dry loft, where the damp
ness from the cob may not iniure the
germ. No one here thinks of
"ricking" up their seed corn and it
is always put in bulk. The dealers
buy it from these cribs, shell it in the
usual way, and put it in the market
for seed corn. 1t is simply No. l
corn.
