In offering our ANIMAL BONE
FERTILIZERS for the Fall of 1898
we do so conscious of the fact
that we are Offering the best
goods made for the money, and.
therefore, the cheapest. We
have testimonials from every
section Of the United States
where wheat is grown, and our
sig't@ success has been accom-
plished by the use of only such
materials as give the best prac-
tical results in the field, and we
make no Brand of Fertilizers
except from an .4niH1nZ Bone
Base.
The only way to overcome the
present low price of wheat, is to
increase the fertility of the land,
grow more per acre, and do not
take more from the soil than we
put on it, and this can only be
accomplished by using a COM
plete Bone Fertilizer. The LIS

Says an exchange: Delaware is a
creditor state. Her receips from crops
are much larger than her expenditures,
and for years the quiet accumulation
of wealth has been going steadily on
until there are more moderate fortunes
among the farmers of the Peninsula
than can probably be found in any
similar strip of agricultural territory in
the country. Money is always plenti-
full at the banks and generally is
among the people except when bad
crops intervene for several years.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of
Delaware capital are annually sent
abroad to seek investment, because of
the lack Of opportunity at home.
