ARMOUR'S FERTILIZERS

The Fertilizers used should always sup
ply the plant with its faVorite form of
food. 1t has been shown at experiment
stations in the several States, and has
been the experience OF tobacco growers
generally, that Dried Blood contains the
best form of ammonia for raising fine quail
tiles of tobacco. This is especially so re-
speeding the bright variety. Our own field
tests fully confirm this. and as this form
of ammonia is used in the manufacture Of
our fertilizers, it can be readily seen that
the Armour Fertilizer Works are in
position to offer the very choicest goods.
Potash should be i'm the form of high grade
sulphate, as any form containing chlorine
will be especially injurious to the leaf.

Mr.. GEO. GRENSHAw, Henderson, n. &.
Yours of the 9th inst. to hand and noted.
In reply would say that used last season
go pounds per acre of Armour'S All Solu-
BILE Fertilizer on my tobacco, and must say
that am we'll pleased with the result in
every way. made good sized rich and
cOlOry crop, more wrappers in it than l
ever made with eight to ten hundred
pounds of low grade goods. My fertilizer
last year cost me Si.20 per acre, and on
crop OF 1894 it cost me $500 per acre. l
was then using low grade stun ana my
1895 crop is a great deal better IN every
way, heavier and not SO much diseased,
Notwithstanding we had quite protracted
drought during the months Of July and
August. My land is nearly all fresh and
Is light and gray. The lands around your
place will, am sure, give good results
from the use of four TO five hundred
pounds to the acre. 1t will make you a
fine crop of bright tobacco with good body,
size and colOry. You can safely put out
ArmOur's Tobacco GuanO and have no
fear as to their results. l will cheerfully
give any information can at any time to
help the farmers in your section to make
twO-t thirds of their tobacco crops good in
stead of as they are at present. making
twO-thirds bad with low grade goods.
Yours truly,

Since the creamery question is being

shown by the ghoulish story of the
Identification of Johann Sebastian
Bach's remains in Leipsig. According
to the city records he was buried in
the south side of the Johannis Kirchs
in 1850, in an oak coffin, and only two
persons were thus buried that YEAR
Last year, when the old Johannis
Kirche was torn down. the committee
searching for Bach found an oak coffin
with the remains of an elderly man.
The bones were handed over to Prof
His Of the Anatomical museum, who
measured them, and found the man
was five foot six inches tall, under the
German average. The skull was given
to sculptor, who nodded on it bust,
which harmonizes with the portrait Of
Bach in the Thomasschule, and also re.

the gold dollar is the most dishonest
