Buying Fertilizers.

In the purchase OF fertilizers the
farmer has more difficulty than IA any
other duty, as he must rely largely up
on the honesty of the manufacturers.
and for that reason he should buy only
from reliable parties. The reliability
OF manufacturers may not be known
TO all. and mistakes may occur In the
factories. There Is one plan thai can
he pursued, however, and which Will
be satisfactory to the manufacturers
also, which Is for u number of farmers
to cooperate in making comparative
tests OF all fertilizers procured by ex
changing samples. The stations Will
also analyze samples for farmers. but
the better plan is for each farmer to
make tests aud thus educate himself Ia
the use Of fertilizers and their effects
upon plants by direct observation. Only

farm, provided several farmers viii
work together, will be sufficient.

Indolno-Kane. or Guiding Bell, be-
cause Its sound is supposed to guide the
ghosts OF children through the dark.

On shelves and stands at either side

toys accumulated through centuries,
toys of whole generations of dead chill
dren.
From the ceiling and close to the en-
trance hung a heavy bell-rope, nearly
four inches in diameter and Of many
eolors-the rope of the lndo-no-kane.
And hal rope was made of the bib OF
dead chlldren-yellow. blue, scarlet.
purple bibs. and bibs OF all intermedi-
ate shades. The ceiling Itself was in
visible, hidden by hundreds OF tiny
dresses suspended there-the dresses of
dead children.
Little boys and girls, kneeling or
playing ON the mating beside the
priest, had brought toys with them 10
tablet of some lost brother or sister.
Every moment some bereaved father or
mother would come to the door, pull
the bell-rope. throw some copper money
on the mating and make a prayer.
Each time the bell sounds some little
ghost Is believed to hear, perhaps even
to find It's way back for one more look
at loved toys aud faces.
The changing of the bell, the deep
humming of the priests voice r%ecltlng
the service. the tlnkle of falling coin,
the sweet, heavy smell OF incense, the
passionless, golden beauty OF the Bud

Of the toys. the %shadowing of the baby
dresses, the yariegated wonder of that
bell-rope of blbs. the happy laughter OF
the little folks at play on the fioor-all

pathos never TO be for gotten.
