AS every reader OF this paper knows, it
has become one of the fine arts 70 write at
tractive ard interesting advertisements
especially medical ones.
Now it seems to US that il, for instance,
the worldwide advertisers of Warmers

by they could work III a startling story of,

suddenly bursts upon his ear.
Wolves the gaunt grizzly wolves of the
foot-hills-thin and poor and hungry and
savage-the legs tireless-the mouth full of
teeth which can crack the shoulder-bone
of buffalo. He can see their dark forms
fitting from point to point-the patter of
their feet upon the parched grass proves
that he is surrOunded-yet no more in dan
ger, and no more effectually surrounded
than he who trifles with the symptoms of
kidney disease. And you, reader, know
whether or not you are victim TO its in
sidious encroachment. If your back aches,
if your eyesight is failing, if your appetite
is tickle, if your urine is not clear and of
pale straw color, do not hesitate on the
prairie of danger, but flee to the nearest
haven OF safety, and resort to the only
known cure for kidney and liver troubles,
Warmers Safe Cure. 1t is duty you owe,
not only to yourself but TO your family and
society at large.
Delays are dangerous.
Had the traveller not been overtaken in

VALUE OF POTASH.
How It Can BE UsefuIIy Employed on
Grass Lands.


Grass Lands.
Carbonate of potash is a powerful
solvent of humus, and is a very valua-
BILE material when it can be properly
applied. Spread in substance, itwould
destroy the crop. In solution, it would
soon be removed by infltratiou since
it would be washed out of the Top soil
by the action of rain, carrying with it
vegetable mauures. which ii dissolves.

would be impoverished. Potash alone
will not improve a poor soil, but when
mixed with peat compost potash is
truly valuable reagent, since il

very large proportion Of the vegeta-
bic matter so as 20 be entirely neu-
tralized. We may safely add $50
pounds of it in solution 10 a cord OF
peat compost; but even much smaller
quantity will be found serviceable.
When too much potash has been intro
duced. it has been found to act too
powerfully and to cause the foliage to
become rank, so that frost came before
the crop was ripe. On grass lands il
would be advantageous to increase the
foliage. and potash prepared as de-
scribed above may be usefully en-
ployed-
Soda acts on composts in a similar
manner. and can now be obtained in
the form OF soda ash. and as 1t is much
