The season for planting potatoes. corn
&c, is fast approaching and farmers, in buy
ing fertilizers, should buy the one that gives
the best results tor the smallest amount of
money. Fossil Mari" is just such q fertil-
izer. 1t does not grow a large and useless
stock or vine, but gives the plants a natural
steady growth, with the same results as you
would obi ain from good barn yard manure
and ev very farmer knowns what a fertilizer
good barn yard manure is. Fossil Mari
NAV be termed a substitute for it, but better
in many re spects. Fossil Mari does not
grow weeds, while manure always will.
1t is quite unlike Phosphate a it has no
disagreeable smell, and does not burn the
germ of the seed. You cannot hanAly get
too much on an acre, and above all il is a
first class top DIRE ssing for grass, for which
Phosphate cannot be used. 1t can be broad
easted or drilled in the ground. Its durabil-
ity and lasting qualities in the ground is
from three to five years, and it sells for
about one half the cost of Phosphate and
other fertilizers. A good, reliable agent is
wanted in every township in the county.

The sugar makers of our township have
during the past week tapped the sweet sap.
and if the weather continues favorable will
in a short time manufacture a large guam
tity of sugar. The sap is extra sweet and
will yield twenty-five per cent more sugar
from the same amount of water than last
season. ''Ground Hog didn't retard the
sugar water season very much, neither did
he roughen the weather any, and | hope
tie wonderful storm predicted by the Cana
dian prophet to occur in the beginning of
March may prove as fallacious as the

A story is told of a German who, while
shaving, accIdently cut off his nose. In his
excitement he dropped the razor and decap-
itsted one ofhis toes. Hastily picking up.the
dismembered portions Of his anatomy he
clapped them To the bleeding wounds and
bound them on tightly. After the flesh
had grown fast and healed up he removed
the bardages, and was filled with horror
when he found a well developed toe in lieu
OF a nasal organ and vice versa. Now,
whenever he gets a cold he has to remove
his shoe aud stocking in order to blow his
nose.
