AN INDIANS IDEA OF CoMETs.-A chief of
the Piute tribe of Indians who roam over Ne
vada, was asked what he thought of the COM
cts. The chief wrapped his robe closely
around his body, stood erect, and pointing
upward, declared that the sun is the chief of
the heavens, the moon is the suns squaw,
and the stars are his children. The great sun
must eat, and therefore, whenever he feels
hungry he catches one of his children and
swallows it, The poor moon is very fond of
her children, yet is doomed every month to
see one of them devoured by their unnatural
father. She then goes into mourning SO
deep that she even paints her face black
Fortunately, however, the paint gradually
wears of, and she shines forth as bright as
ever until her next loss

good thing can say in favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill

Gentlemen-I have used your Fertilizer for four
years past on the entire range of field and garden
crops, and always with the most satisfactory re-
suits.
| have found It especially adapted to the growth
of potatoes and Sugar BEES, and my crop last sea-
son of over twelve hundred bushels of these roots
was grown with this fertilizer, and their quality
may be inferred from the fact that in a strong
competition, received six first premiums at the
last fair of the Peninsula Agricultural and Po-
biological Association for the largest and best dis
play of root crops The splendid mechanical con-
dition in which your Fertilizer is furnished, and
its uniform quality, as determined by annual
analysis in the STATE Laboratory of Delaware
