3s4 BUSHELS PER ACRE.

Eight consecutive years on fertlzer ex' clusvely. c. W. Stone, East Andover, N. H., reports that on land planted to potatoes for eight years consecutively, and exclusively each year on Stock bridge Potatoe Manure, he raised an average of 3S4>bushels potatoes per acre per year. He writes 1.-The expert mental piece was not garden soil, but was broken up especially for the pur- pose of making careful and exhaustive test for q series of years, and to satisfy myself that the Bowker Fertilizer Con- pany were making as good goods one year as another. II also wanted to sat- isfy myself that potatoes could be grown for series of years on Stockbridge eX- clusively. "It was land which cut in the neignborhood of three-quarters of ton of hay per acre prior to being ploughed. Itwas thoroughly cultivated, but no greater care was bestowed on the piece than would have been exercised had larger area been planted. ''In 1887 the yield of this piece was at the rate of 340 bushels per acre, 1888 362, 1889 390, 1890 40. 1891 424, 1892 470, 1893 394, 1894 2S5. ssOr an average of 3S4 bushels per acre per year. 1.-The crop of 1893, although quite early, sui, fered slightly from the severe drought; otherwise think it would have equalled the yield of 1892. The severe drought al- so affected the yield for 1894 I applied at the rate of not less than ,500 pounds per acre each year, and no year at the rate of over 2,000 pounds per acre. Son an average applied at the rate of l, 500 pounds Stockbridge Potato Manute per acre each year, without any other fer tilizer whatever. The rows were the or dinary distance apart (three and one half feet), and the potatoes planted from IS to 20 inches apart in the trenches" Mir Stones statement comes indorsed by affidavits of farmers who saw the crops growing and harvested.
 Another user of this popular fertilizer says: II have used the StockbridSe Manure on piece of land (of about one acre) for potatoes the last six years, three years with very light coat of manure ploughed in, and the last three years with no other manure than Stock bridge, the crop being from 300 to 400 bushels year, much to the surprise of

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME.

Where the Aged and Lnf1rm arc Cared
 for-Mofher AureIia Speaks
 of Her Charges.
 (FroHa ths Providence, R. T., Journat.)
 Somewhat removed from the city of Prov idence, on the main highway to Pawtucket, stands that magnificent charitable institu- ton known as the Home for the Aged of the Little Sisters of the Poor. Here 8 com- pany of sweet faced and soft voiced Sisters care for the old and the infrm who are unable to care for themselves.
 Mother Aurelia presides over this we'll known institution, and with her associates ministers to the wants of over two hundred old people, women and men. An important feature of the Home is vell-appointcd pharmacy in charge of one of the sisters Their chief remedy is good old Pain-killer, which most of the old folks used when they were children and which now cures the pains and aches incidental to their declining years.
 As is to be expected, the aged inmates of the Home are in constant need of medical attention, although, so carefully are they tended, few are rarely sick enough to be in the hospital wing at any one time. But all of them are subject to the many disabilities of old age, and 50 Pain-Killer has come to be a remedy of almost daily use.
 Mother Aurelia says that Pain-Killer has quite superseded the drugs and prescriptions for use among the old people. When the limbs twitch with rheumatism the fair sister in charge of the pharmacy gives them massage with pure Pain-Killer. When the old men and old women suffer from their many stomach troubles, little Pain Killer with water and sugar offers a certain and quick relief When the venerable heads are racked with pain, Pain-Killer is again put to service promptly. The old people love it and rely upon it. They tes- tify that its use externally is quickly efica- cious, and internally, is unaccompanied by any after i'll effects-which, st their age must never be risked.

DEATH OF THOMAS COLLINS.


 Again death has saddened our com. munity and called to rest Thomas J. Col lins, a young man of fine education and of sterling worth and character. His death was caused by consumption, brought on by continued attacks of the grip. Many and sad are the friends from whom he has parted and all can truly say why has this been done. But sad der still and more lonely are the loving brother, with whom he made his home, and the kind sister who administered the best of care to her brother and fulfilled his every want, spariog neither strength nor patience through the long sickness, but nursed her brother as only a sister can, encouraging him to the last and smoothing his pathway to the grave The bereaved ones have our heartfelt sympathy in this their great sorrow and may God strengthen and comfort them. The funeral took place at the residence of John w. Collins, brother of the de- ceased, on March 6, Many beautiful flowers covered the casket on all sides and the deceased lav in solid bed of lovely flowers, from loving friends far and near. Truly God loveth the beauti fuI, for the good are always beautiful and none are too young to die, but it seems sad and strange that one so young and so useful should be called away just at the beginning of SO useful a life, and the hope of all his friends.-[+
