In buying a fertilizer don't de-
pend on what the agent or manu-
facturer tells you. Have them to
refer you to farmers who have used
it not only one year but several.
Go and see those men, talk to them,
find out the facts, and then buy
your fertilizer from the man that
will give you the
Most and Best Plant Food
for your money. / could tell you
how I raise from twenty-five to
thirty acres ofearly potatoes yearly,
twelve acres of asparagus, some
other truck, cut from seventy-five
to one hundred loads of hay, sell
the biggest share of it, don't buy
manure and don't keep much stock,
but it will take too much space. 1t
might pay you to look it up.
Here's a testimonial from one of
our wide-awake money-making far
mers
WARREN ATKINSON,
Cherry Lawn Farm,
Mullica Hill, N. j.:
Dear Sir II have used your
highs grade fertilizer with very sat
isfactory results for the past FIVE
years. AS long as you keep it as
good as it now is 1 want no other.
l have tried several other brands
sold in the county. Yours is al
ways ahead. For me it has been a
great early canta1oup and early to-
mato forcer. Where / used it on
early tomatoes last years in connec-
ton with manure the crop was fully
one-third more than where manure
was used alone. Alongside of this
fertilizer / used another brand on
my tomatoes with not near as good
results.
For early white potatoes it is a
complete fertilizer used either with
or without manure. Last year my
early potatoes were planted on
ground that, owing to a dry sea
son, produced about thirty (3o) bus.
of corn to the acre the previous
year. / spread a moderate quantity
of home made manure broadcast,
blowing it in and commenced plant
ing potatoes on the 8th of April,
with Robbins potato planter,
using from 1000 to 1900 lbs. of
your high-grade potato and early
truck fertilizer per acre. / COM
menced to dig these potatoes for
market the 18th of June, while
green and growing fast. They
yielded at the rate of goo baskets
per acre. The average yield when
through digging of S. acres the 2Ist
of June was over 800 baskets, or 90
barrels per acre. A half acre that
was left to mature yielded over $50
baskets, or 90 barrels per acre.
Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH M. ADAMS.
Mullica Hill, N. J., Jan. %, 1898.
Don'tde1ay in sending your order
for fertilizer. Order promptly The
money -making part of my business
is my farm. When work opens in
the Spring and | get busy with
those early potatoes and asparagus
/ don I want to bother much with
fertilizer away from home.

Jeffersonian Principles.

Ex-Governor William j. Stone, of Nj s.
Ouri, contributes to the March Fornum an
article on " The Democratic Party and It's
Future, in which he contends that the
Chicago convention was absolutely right
upon the questions of the coinage OF silver,
the issuance of bonds, the income tax
decision and government by Injunction
Defeated" he says, but not dispirited,
the Democratic party will 90 forward
more resolutely than ever" Mr.. Stone
further observes -
Judging the future by the past l think
it is safe TO say generally that SO long as
the doctrine Of contradiction is opposed
and the doctrine of popular sovereignty in
the nation and of State supremacy over
local affairs is maintained and so long as
the people fight for liberty for self govern.
ment and for the control of public affairs
against sordId special interests The Dem
Ocratic party will remain unchanged. In
other words concretely stated, so long as
the principles of Thomas Jefferson are a
vitsl influence in the republic, the DEM
ocratic party will continue to be what it
has ever been the exponent of those
principles. The battles + the future will
be substantially along the same lines IS
those of the past. Against the Democratic
party will be arraytd the came powerful

opulent and great The declarations OF
the Chicago platform of 1896, so far as
they relate to fundamental questions, will
stand. as they have stood for a century, as
the permanent creed of the party; and, so
far as they relate to financial AID purely
economic questions, they will be repeated
and insisted upon from one conven-
tion to another until crystalIzed into
legislation or until eliminated by reasons

and economic conditions OF the country. l
say this because that platform is a clear,
conservative, comprehensive statement of
the Democratic position. Every declara-
ton in it is Democratic, made alone in
the interest of the common people and 10
strict accord with the ancient faith OF the
party. Moreover, the platform has the
approval of the people themselves it is
indeed their handiwork, and politicians
could not change it if they would.

Especial Correspondence
Trenton, March 9.-The Republican
members of the legislature held a con-
ference Monday evening of this week,
the result of which was a decision to
bring about final adjournment two
weeks from tomorrow if no unforeseen
obstacles arise in the meantime. 1t is
true that many bills still hang fire, but
most of them are of little general inn
portance, and others which are really
Important are destined for the legisla-
er. About $50 have been introduced all
told, the number being nearly equally
divided between the two houses. Only
about so in all have passed both branch
es so far, and unless extraordinary zeal
in lawmaking is displayed within the
next two weeks the grand total of new
statutes is not apt to exceed 125.
Measures still Pending.
The people of the state therefore need
not regard the present session a failure
if it falls below it's predecessors in the
number of laws enacted. Yet it is a
noticeable fact that even the few meas
ures passed this winter are largely I'M
important. except to special localities.
A glance over the list reveals scarcely
anything of general interest. Among
the weightier measures still pending are
the following:
The county trolley bill, the governor
reduction Of salary bill, the grade cross
ing bill, the bills reported by the sew
eral codifcatlon commissions, the de-
pendent children's bill, the bill for a
Home For Veterans Wives, the Fire
mems home bill, the trading stamp bill,
the teachers retirement fund bill, sew
eraI insurance bills and the bill increas-
ing the annual appropriation for road
to 100000 year.
1t is likely that several of these, in
GLIDING the enlarged expense for i'm
proving the roads, will fall by the way
side.
A hearing was held yesterday on the
bill designed to prevent the offering of
trading stamps in connection with store
purchases. G. D. W. Vroom of Trenton
in opposition to the measure
and made an argument to show that it
is unconstitutional. Linton Satter-
thwaite, also of Trenton, urged an
combining the bill to trading
pure and simple and not to all
manner of gifts offered by storekeepers
themselves. Senator Francis of Mon
mouth is pressing the bill in the interest
of storekeepers who have tired of trad
ing stamps.

The New York Tribune publishes table
which shows that in eighteen counties OF
the Empire State where town elections
were held last Tuesday the Democrats
gained thirty three Supervisors and the
Republicans three. The significance OF
these figures is emphasized by the fact that
similar results have marked recent town
elections in all parts Of the State, iudicai-
ing that these political changes cannot be
occasioned by local causes
