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 ofear1y potatoes yearly,
twelve acres of asparagus, some
other truck, cut from seventy-fve
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 testimonial from one of
our wide-awake money-rnaking far
mers:
WARREN ATKINSON,
Cherry Lawn Farm,
Mullica Hill, N. j.:
Dear Sir II have used your
high-grade fertilizer with very sat
isfactory results for the past FIVE
years. AS long as you keep it as
good as it now is / want no other.
/ have tried several other brands
sold in the county. Yours is al
ways ahead. For me it has been
great early canta1oup and early to-
mato forcer. Where I 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 I used another brand on
my tomatoes with not near as good
results.
For early white potatoes 1t 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 moderate quantity
of homemade manure broadcast,
p1owing it in and commenced plant
ing potatoes on the 9Th of April,
with a Robbins potato planter,
using from 1000 to 1900 lbs. of
your high-grade potato and early
truck fertiliver per acre. I COM
menced to dig these potatoes for
market the I4th of June, while
green and growing fast. They
yielded at the rate Of 200 baskets
per acre. The average yield when
through digging of S acres the 2Ist
of June was over 900 baskets, or 60
barrels per acre. A half acre that |
was left to mature yielded over 45o
baskets, or 90 barrels per acre.
Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH M. ADAMS.
Mullica Hill, N. J., Jan. 2S, 1898. |
Don't delay in sending your order
for fertilizer. Order promptly The
money-tnaking part of my business
IS my farm, When work opens in
the Spring and I get busy with |
those early potatoes and asparagus
don't want TO bother much with
fertilizer away from home.

OF their children as they beat against
the door and cried for help. In another
moment the roof fell in and before
the flames could be subdued the I'VE

Judge Fort made it clear the other night
in aspeech at Orange that primary elections
have need to be looked after by law as
closely as general elections. The Judge is
right. The primaries naturally bear, or are
made to bear, very close relations to elect
ing elections, and the theories of both
should be looked after with directness by
law. Woodbury. Constitution.
Right you are. Bro. Barber, and had you
seen the Republican primaries held in
Cape May county last Fall you would have
witnessed an object lesson along the line OF
Judge Forts speech.
[Cape May c.. Gazette
Brother Barber had such an object lesson,
Editor Cooper, but he won't acknowledge
it. The Republican primaries here last
Fall were simply an auction, in which the
longest purse got the goods. This Iegisla
ture should do something to compel the
Republicans to semblance of honesty in
their primaries.
