MATERIAL" NOT ANALYSIS.

There are many farmers who think that
all phOsphates are alike, no matter by
whom they are manufactured, or what ma
terial they are made from.
A Fertilizer, apparently the same by
analysis on paper, may show vast differ
enee when tested by the soil.
In spite of the protection thrown around
the trade by State laws, there is no ques-
tiOn that goods are now offered to the far
mers with high chemical analysis Ton pa
per or bags(, which tested in the field, fall
far short of the guarantee. The only absO-
lutte safety for a farmer is to buy his sup
ply from an old established and reliable
manufacturer one who will guarantee the
goods are made from Bone Basis only
no South Carolina rock being used for
phOsphOric acid, and no hair, leather,
swill, or horn from which to obtain Am
monia.
Such a guarantee Listers print in all
their catalogues, and also show on every
bag and barrel, from what source they de-
rive the plant food.
Will any other manufacturer do the
same? Ifso we do not know it.
Last, but not least" we sell cheap, but
no "cheap goods" Farmers who have not
tried our Fertilizers will consult their own
interest by applying to our nearest agent,
and use them literally on the next crop.
Compare them with other brands. All we
ask is a fair trial. and we are sure of your
future patronage.

Suicide at the Union Station of all I'm
known Man.

Yesterday morning, about Z o'clock, an EN-
ploye at the Union Station found man In
the waiting room with carbolic acid trick
ling from his mouth and blistering his lips.
The officer at once supposed that the man
had taken the acid with suicidal intent,
but the man denied having taken any acid
at all. The man further stated that he
wished no physician. saying that he would
soon recover. City Dispensary physicians
were summoned and had him removed to
the City Hospital. When the physicians at
tempted to administer to the rapidly weak
ening man he shut his teeth and thwarted
all efforts to force drugs down his throat.
He died within half an hour after arriving
at the hos lR15i,a LeI'eT Ind aa' were found on
his person, and these lead Coroner Beck,
who has charge of the body, to believe that
he is Roberts. He te~legraphed to the
Whiteland authorities, but at a late hour
last night had received no reply.
