A Chance to Make Money,

l have berries, grapes and peaches, a
year old, fresh as when picked. l use
the California Cold process, do not heat
or seal the fruit, just put it up cold,
keeps perfectly fresh, and costs almost
nothing; can put up a hushel in ten
minutes. Last week l sold directions
to over 1870 families; ami one will pay
u dollar for directions, when they see
the beautiful samples of fruit. AS
there are many people poor like myself
l consider it my duty to give my expe-
rience to such, and feel confident any
one can make one or two hundred dol
lars round home in a few days. l will
mail sample of fruit and complete d.
rections, to any of your readers, for
eighteen two cent stamps, which is
only the actual cost of the samples.

Spoons Free to All.

read in the Christian Standard that
Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A, st. Louis,
Mo-, would give an elegant plated
hook spoon to any one sending her ten
2 CEN stamps. l sent for one and
found it 30 useful that / showed it to
my friends. andmade $18in two hours,
taking orders for the spoon. The hook
spoon is a household necessity. 1t can
not slip into the dish or cooking vessel,
being held in the place by a hook on
the back. The spoon is something
h~ousekeepers have needed eve since
spoons were first invented. Any one
can get a sample spoon by sending ten
2 cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This ia a
splendid way to make money around

ABSOLUTELY PURE


The attention of our farmers is call
ed to a most valuable little book, en-
titled Principles of Profitable Farm.
ing" We do not know of any book on
the subject that gives to the farmer SO
much practical information in the
same short space. In this book expert
ments are described upon different soils
and crops, and the farmer is instructed
how to use fertilizers properly, in order
to procure the largest yields.
The reading matter is divided into
three parts, as follows: PartI describes
some important results first obtained
by Prof. Wagner, Director of the Ex-
pertinent Station at Darmstad, Ger
many, through green manuring by
means of potash phosphate fertiliza-
ton. Part III gives an account of the
Experimental Farm at Southern Pines,
North Carolina, which is under the aus
pices of the North Carolina State Hor.
tlcultural Society, acting in CO opera
ton with the State Experiment Station.
The object of the experiment conducted
at this farm is to ascertain the relative
proportions of the three principal ferti-
llzlng ingredients needed by various
fruit and vegetable crops, viz, potash,
phosphoric acid and nitrogen. Part III
is a summary of many important re-
suits obtained by the use of potash in
experiments conducted at experiment
stations in the United States.
The foregoing outline will give The
reader some idea of the scope and char
acter of this little book. All the facts
are stated in clear and concise Language
and the principles of profitable farm
ing are set forth in a practical way.
The book, which is full of illustrations
and neatly printed and bound, is free
! of charge, a card addressed to the Ger.
man Kali Works, SO Nassau Street,
New York, N. Y, being all that is
necessary to secure a copy. No intel
ligent farmer should be without it.

Last Thursday evening Ebert Keys,
who lives near Christie, had the mis-

companied by Joe Tilson, who has also
been connected with that institution

A very sad and fatal accident oc.
Cured just a few miles from town last
week. While David Day was moving
millet a little four year old boy had
hid himself in the grass just where the
machine was running and the driver
who's attention was turned toward a
fractions horse did moi discover the
child until the machine had cut both
feet smooth off at the ankles. The
child was carried to the house and a
physician was sent for, but the child
had lost too much blood to ever be re.
vived. DR.. Park was summoned, but
all that he could do was of no avail
and the child died about five hours
after the accident occuryed.
