Cause Of Rust on Wheat.

The close. long continued analytical
researches of DR.. Spreng-l led to the
conclusion that an excess of iron salts,
and especially Of the phosphate of iron,
greatly favors the growth of red dust
on the leaves and culms of wheat and
other cereals. A soil in the vicinity OF
Brunswick that did not lack drainage,
but lime, was remarkable for growing
wheat and barley, always attacked and
generally blighted by rust. A quantity
of this soil was taken into field gen.
orally free from this often ruinous par
asite, to form an artificial soil fifteen
inches in depth. Wheat planted in
this was badly rusted, while that grown
all around it, in the same field, was free
from the malady. There was some
thing in the soil peculiarly favorable to
the fungus which stains ones clothing
as red as bog iron ere itself. Low
ground in which salts of iron collect in
excess is generally recognized as being
very subject to rust. Drainage is a
partial remedy and no more.
DR.. Sprengel found on analysis
fraction over half per cent Of the
phosphate Of iron in the soil under con-
sideration, with only trace Of lime un-
combined with silicie acid. As free
lime will take phospheric acid away
from iron, and indirectly convert iron
into the harmless peroxide, and at the
same time produce the valuable fertil-
izer, phosphate of lime, lining was pre-
scribed and the cure perfected.
Here is plain case where the analy-
sis Of a soil by a competent expert de-
teeted the source Of a great and per-
manent evil, and transformed, as by
magic, mineral poison into plant food
of inestimable value. To decry soil
analyses by skillful chemists is shallow
quackery-a weed that finds too much
favor with American farmers.

M trial of its virtues,
throughout this and
NEE& other countries, has
shown that 1t does
surely and efectually
control them. The testimony Of our best citi-
zens, Of all classes, establishes the fact. that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the afflicting disorders Of the Throat and

dangerous affections Of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of COnsump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, SO remarkable as hardly to be be.

As remedy 1t Is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, 1t saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep 1t on hand as protection against the early

which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten

1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain

they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
