A FARMERS EXPERIENCE.
An Interesting Account Of How Corn Land
Wheat Was Made to Yield q
Bushels per Acre.

A South Christian farmer was in
our office Friday, July %. and stated
that he sowed 72 acres Of corn land
wheat; on 60 acres he sowed Armer
Bone Meal 100 lbs. to the acre Nine
acres were sowed without fertilizer
The 60 acres and the 9 acres were all
in the same field and was the same
grade and character of soil. Sixty
three acres produced II bushels more
per acre than the 9 acres that were
not fertilized He figured the invest
ment out as follows: Fertilizer used
was Armor Bone Meal. He used 100
pounds per acre on 63 acres. This
cost $l50 per 100 pounds or $94.5O for
he 60 acres.
n He sold his wheat for 65 cents per
buShel and gained II bushels per acre
on 63 acres by using the fertilizer, or
693 bushels.
This at 65c pei bushel equals $45O45.
Fertilizer $500 lbs at 1.50 cost 945O
Net profit from using fertilizer $355.05
And that is not all he was told by
the parties who received his wheat it
was the best No. 2wheat they had re-
ceived This gentleman name will
be furnished our patrons on applica-
ton and his statements are borne out
by the man who threshed his wheat
He says that he has used this brand
OF fertilizer for two years with the
same satisfactory results.
This is one of many similar instan-
ces we could cite of advantage of ju-
dicious fertilizing A careful test
will bring you the same results.

------=-===-------= Stock Market Was Dull-N,

Yesterdays Stock Market Was Dull-No
 Heavy Transactions.
 New York, July 6.-The intention of security holders clearly indicated by the tone of to-day's market for stocks was to await further developments in the general business situation before dealing in the market Buyers were unwilling to offer higher prices than those at which the market closed Sat- urday.
 Although the lower bids invited some offerings which were quite large for some stocks, there was no heavy pressure to sell, the majority of hold CTS apparently being, as unwilling to sell at the decline as were buyers to bid higher. The market was in conse- quence dull throughout, some depart- ments being quite legarthic and the dullness being less marked in the lead ing granger and industrial stocks.
 St. Paul and Burlington alone ab- sorbed about one-third of the total dealings-a total which fell below 150,- GOO shares The days trading was A.. clear enough indication that the heav- mess of Friday and Saturday last was not merely due to hesitancy on account of the approaching holiday, but to &C., tual reaction in the market. Most traders would give as a reason for their disinclination to buy that they are convinced prices have advanced as far as is warranted by the general out look for business.
 The bears also find the labor trou bles in the bituminous coal industry an effective weapon. The lower prices for American securities in London were said to have been due to the reports of the soft-coal strike cabled from this side, and the London prices affected values here sympathetically quite sharply in some cases. The fact that the consideration of the tariff bill has reached to only few remaining items gives rise to the flood of surmises usual to such a stage in important legislation as to irreconcilable differences on these items and the possible failure of the bill, These surmises were made the most of by the bears to-day
 Later reports of the adjustment of some of the differences on the tariff bill items, and published assertions as to the Iessened dimensions of the strike compared with earlier reports, were in- fiuences in bringing about a rally in the market. The rally did not wipe out the earlier declines entirely, but it left the net losses generally small.
 The extreme loss in the leading shares generally equalled or exceeded 2 point Sugar fully recovered and gained M net, and Lead showed a frac- tional net gain. New Jersey Central declined points, but recovered all but a traction. Louisville and Nashville closed a point off. Bay State Gas was strong all day and closed 1ss higher. Minneapolis and St. Louis also advanc- ed 1A at the close. Otherwise net changes show fractional losses in the active list.

 An hour afterwards she let go two anchors off the fort, rolling wildly on the trade-wind sea. Three white launches splashed into the water and pulled ashare, while the last of the Arabs could be dimly seen crossing the plain amid cloud of dust.
 So the defence of the Castillo de San Andres came to an end; for, in accord- ance with instructions, the few survi- vors were embarked and the fort aban- doned. The Spanish authorities main- tained such secrecy about the matter as they could but details leaked out, and not long afterwards the remains of the fort were seen. The solid walls had been wrenched apart and the mas sy stones lay half-buried in the hot sand. How Arab and Berber had man. aged this, without the aid of gunpow- der, which is a scarce commodity with them, it is hard to say; but all that now remains of the little fort are two tot- tering towers and a chapeless heap of smoke blackened stones, standing alone in dreary waste of hot sand, for a memento of the invincible garrison.- Harold Blindloss in Chambers Journal,
