Agricultural Salt,

Referring to our offer to bring in
fertilizating salt by the car load and
deliver the same at actual cost, pro-
vided sufficient number of subscrib-
ers be found, we wish to inform
farmers that refuse salt from packing
houses can be delivered here at 81 per
ton.
As the time approaches when it will
be necessary to send out orders for
shipment, such farmers as desire to
engage any of this salt will please no.
tify us at once.
1t is claimed by some that agricul-
tural salt proper contains qualities
which, at the difference in price rem
der it preferable for fertilizing pur-
poses to refuse salt. We have writ
ten for quotations and in a few days
will be able to name prices delivered
here.
We shall be obliged to farmers for
information they can give us on the
subject.

O. S. Powell has amber cane seed
for sale that was raised in Kansas.
1t is pronounced much better to
change the seed and plant from more
southern raising. The corn grows
more vigorous and is richer in syrup.
This is the time to suggest to the pro-
dncer of cane to plant early-just as
soon as the soil will work freely un-
der the hoe. Cover the seed very
slightly-not over one half inch deep.
If the soil is sandy, or black muck,
step on hill; but if clay, better put
the rows wider apart than is usual in
planting corn; if too close it will not
ripen so rapidly. Drop from ten to
twelve seeds in hill, and when you
hoe leave four to six stalks III nil.
