The experiments shown In Bulletin
2S were made for the purpose OF deter
mining what kind OF commercial fer
tilizers were best adapted to increase
the productiVeness Of the various soils
of our State. The results show that on
certain soils one or more kinds OF com
mercial fertilizers produce no material
beneficial results, while upon other soils
a very decided beneficial effect is pro-
duced. How shall farmer determine
what kind of fertilizers he needs? In
this bulletin is table showing
the chemical analysis Of the Sew
eraI soils upon which these ex-
periments were made, but it
is shown from actual experiment on
these same soils that the chemical
analysis furnishes no safe criterion for
cur guidance, and that the farmer must
make his own experiments upon his
own soil, and the better plan would be
to begin on a small scale, and when he
has determined what his land needs, he
can very profitably enlarge his opera
tions. The experiments made at the
Station are very valuable to the farm
ers, as they indicate the kind Of fertil-
izers which are adapted to the different
kinds of soil, and furnish the farmer
with method by which he can carry
on his own experiments.
These bulletins are sent free to all
persons in the State requesting them.

Don't Fool With a Cold.
Vs5r y,ark SIN

We must repeat our warning against
pneumonia, the most dangerous disease
which prevails in the city, and which is
extraordinarily prevalent at this time.
The records show that there were as
many as 249 fatal cases of it here last
week, a greater number than there has
been in any other week Of the year. In
a majority of the cases the melting
cause OF the disease is catching cold"
and neglecting it. Half the deaths
from it might be prevented by treat
ment or by the adoption Of means TO
cure the cold as soon as it is caught.
Colds are even more dangerous at this
season than in the winter or summer
season. BE on the guard all the time
against taking a cold. Look out for it
II you take it. Gladstone goes to bed
and sends for doctor whenever he has
a cold, and consequently he always gets

Bulletia No. 80, of the Experiment station
ON Commercial Fertilizers Tor Corn.


on Commercial Fertilizers for Corn.
The West Virginia Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station is now distributing
Bulletin 10. IS, prepared by Col. d. d.
Johnston, Agriculturlst of the Station,
showing the results Of "Plat Expert
meHtS with Commercial Fertilizers on
Germ" FOR the year 1891. These expert
mentS show some facts OF great impor-
lance 20 the farmers Of West Virginia.
To enable him to successfully main
tain himself In his struggle 10 make a
living the farmer realizes that he must
not only preserve but increase
the productive powers OF his
farm. He must not only be
careful that his lands are not impov-
erlShed, but that they are made more
fertile year by year, aud this must be
done In such q manner that the ''Out-
lay" will not exceed the income. One
OF the means adopted by many farmers
Of our State TO secure an increase In the
fertility Of their soils, is the use OF
Commercial Fertilizers. In the pur-
chase of these supplies, he frequently
spends large sums Of money for
fertilizers which have no bene-
fetal effect whatever upon the soil,
or the crops which he proposes to raise,
and In that case his money and labor are
both lost. If his soil is already fully
supplied with nitrogen in an available
condition, then to apply additional nj
trogeDous fertilizers to that soil, is a
complete waste OF material, or il he de-
sires 10 produce a crop OF clover or Of
other plants which draw their supply Of
nitrogen from the atmosphere even If
the soil was deficient In nitrogen, it
would be folly to apply heterogeneous fer
telizers to the soil for these crops. as
they would not use them. and before any
subsequent crop could be grown, the nj

Now that Blaine is dead and gone, the
Republican papers are discussing with
considerable spirit the question: Who Is
the greatest living Republican? Opin-
ions vary among Benjamin Harrison,
John sherman, I. b. Reed and Govern
or Mckinley. The forgetfulness Of par
ties is as marked as that OF republics.
Without doubt the greatest living Re-
publican is the man who sent the whole
ptth and essence Of republicanism thun-
dering down the ages in that one brief,
immortal query, what are we here
for?" J. Webster Flanagan is the
greatest living Republican.

Good Reason for Cleaning Them Out.

A genuine Republican believes the
earth belongs to the well-fed and the
well-to-d0 lie does not believe that
the majority OF the people are capable
OF seli-government; he Is firmly con-
vinced that they would ruin themselves
II they were released from leading
strings, and consequently he wishes to
make himself and his well-fed, we'll
groomed friends the guardians of the
people, with full power to control them.
This is inherent IN every Republican.
And because OF this no Republican
should be allowed to hold any response
bic office from which it is possible to
eject him.
