TALK ON FERTILIZERS.

From a neat little publication en-
titled ssPlant Food" issued by the
North Carolina horticultural society,
we extract the following:
1t will generally be found more
economical to purchase fertilizing
materials of high grade. In apply
.ing fertilizers, bulk is often desirable.
but in purchasing commercial fertil-
izers, the object should be to secure
as much nitrogen, potash, and phos-
phoric acid in available forms as pos
bible for one dollar, instead of as
many pounds as possible of fertilizers,
Regardless of the amount of plant
food contained in it. This is especial
ly applicable to mixed fertilizers.
Since there is smaller bulk to handle
jim mixing, smaller number of pack
ages for holding, and consequently
less weight and freight, it is, as rule,
more economical to purchase fertil-
izers in their more concentrated
forms. For illustration, it is more
economical to purchase one ton of
high grade fertilizer than three tons
of a low grade fertilizer, one ton of
the former containing the same
amount of plant-food contained in
three tons of latter; because, in max
ing the latter, three times as many
packages are required and three
times as much freight must be paid,
all for the same amount of plant food.
Fertilizers cannot, as rule, be in
too finely powdered condition, nor
can they be too dry. With many
materials, bone, for example, the
availability as plant food is directly
dependent upon the fneness Of d1-
vision. Excessive moisture in fertii-
izing is undesirable on several
grounds. First, the larger the amount
of moisture, the smaller will be the
amount of plant food in ton. Sec
ond. excess of moisture causes the
particles to stick together, and is
likely to result in caking and clog
ging when used in drills. Third, an
excess of,moisture favors decomposi-
ton and loss of nitrogen in many
forms of organic matter. This is
shown by the fact that some ferliliz-
ers give off very offensive odor if
allowed to become damp while they
are comparatively free from disagree
able odors if they are thoroughly dry.
A strong odor in a fertilizer is an in
dication that organic matter is de-
composing and nitrogen is being lost.

pie whom it has saved from
early graves.
Here is letter coming to us from James A.
Hatch, NJ. D., Kansas City, Mo-, which reach
ing us unsolicited as it does, is indeed worthy
of being given to the public.
DR.. Hatch writes as follows
"Gentlemen II write you to say that
could send volumes of testimonials from
patients | have cured of different complaints
by the use of Smiths Green Mountain Reno
vator. In all cases where ] have recommended
it, it has never failed to effect cure. GIVE 1T
FAIR TRIAL, AND | WILL FORFEIT SjOO.OO IF
CURE Is NOT ETF ECTED. 1t is the best blood
purifier and nerve builder that ever came under
nv observation, and ! take pride, and | think
it my duty to recommend it. l congratulate
you, gentlemen, that you are propretors of
such a remedy, which iS boGHd 10 establish
record for itself unsurpassed by any medicine
on the market. Wishing you every success,
remain, very sincerely yours,
J. A. HATCH, NJ. d.
DR.. Hatch has recognized that Smith S Green
Mountain Renovation is wonderful ally on
which we may depend for the restoration of
health and for the prevention OF disease and
death. He knows, as many Others have learned
by sad experience, that nine tenths of all our
ills NAV be directly attributed to impure blood,
no matter how these impurities got into the
blood.
No matter whether the blood has become
poisoned through contact with others suffering
from blood diseases, or whether 1t is case
where these poSonS were inherited at time or
Dlrtl,-LO all VINO GeullZc that lleJ udNc DlOOQ
disorders, we recommend that no time should
be lost, as these diseases often slumber for
years, and suddenly crop out in q manner that
is menace to health and life.
Not only that, but when blood diseases show
themselves, the sufferer becomes an object of
pity to every one with whom he comes in con-
tact as the nature of the disease will be written
plainly on his features.
Perhaps another fact that has led DIR. Hatch
to SO strongly recommend this remedy is that
it was originally a prescription of a we'll
known physician, who over forty years ago
prescribed it, since which time it has been
accomplishing its mission of good.
And now, today, that it is being placed upon
the market by the st. Adams Remedy Co.,
exactly as it was originally prescribed by DIR.
Mack, the public may rest assured that its
great mission of restoring health and saving
life has hardly yet reached its zenith.

in the economy of farming than it
has done heretofore. Has anything
new been discovered in the past year,
or are any experiments being carried
on that would tend to improve the
quality or increase the yield? Thou
sands and perhaps millions of dollars
have been expended in improving
our live stock and grand results have
been achieved. That similar results
can be accomplished by breeding,
feeding and properly fertilizing this
great cereal, I firmly believe. The
laws of breeding with the plant are
not greatly different from those of
animals. 1t is no great task to plant
a small piece Of the best ground with
corn. Give it special care, removing
all puny stalks. Plant each alternate
row with different kind of seed.
Break out the tassel of every other
row, producing cross fertilization.
Save your seed from this piece for
next years. planting and prepare an
other piece for next year, each year
giving the second corn the best land
and plenty of manure, and note re-
suits. If it carefully done you will
soon have thoroughbred corn and
the yield will be doubled.

Mt. Desert, on which Bar Rarbor is
located, is the largest island on the
New England coast. Its mountains
can be seen sixty miles at sea, and are
remarkable as being the first land
mark for seamen. In many respects
it is unexcelled by any combination
of natural views on the North Allan
tic coast. In 100 square miles of ter
ritory are 13 mountain peaks, II ponds
| and lakes, with gorges, glens, prom
ontories, and harbors of unusual beau
ty.
The hotel accommo dations are am
pie, the cottages are spacious and
beautiful, and form altogether the
fashionable summer resort of Maine.
Bar Harbor owes its popularity to it's
pure, bracing air, it's romantic and ex-
tended driveways, enchanting ocean
views and grand mountain scenery.
One familiar with the history and leg
ends of the island, as he stands upon
a rocky eminence and overlooks the
islands, creeks and ravines, can east
ly imagine that a savage is about to
emerge from some glen, or that the
rude boat of two centuries ago is rid
ing at anchor in the waters below.
Hotels, railroads and carriages offer
generous reduction in rates. A rate
of 81 for the round trip from Boston
has been secured. and rates for other
places will be in proportion.
For particular information as to
program, RAILROAD and hotel rates,
excursions and other interesting par
ticulars, see the twenty page bulletin
to be issued early in April. Address

ters is SO for a working day OF eight
hours The shipjoiners charge 81 for a
nine-hour day The discovery has recent
ly been made that a number of carpenters
have been putting in spare time as ship
ioiners and working nine hours a day in
violation of their obligations as members
of the Carpenters and Joiners Union.
Members of the latter body protested
against this procedure and as result of
the protest charges of violating their OBJ
legations will be filed against at least
twenty carpenters.
If the case against these members Is
fully proven they will either be expelled
from the union or heavily fined. In case
they are expelled. or resign in preference
to paying the fine, they will not be per
mitted 10 work on any job where union
men are employed as the carpenters
unions have the combined strength of the
Labor and Building Trades Councils to
support them. The Shipjoiners Associa-
ton is not affiliated with either of these
bodies.
The offending members are placed under
penters and joiners. In the first place ii is
assumed that they have broken their OBJ
legations by working nine hours day
without special permission; secondly, they
are members of two unions OF carpenters,
while they are only permitted by the rules
which they have sworn to uphold to re-
tain membership in but one. A thorough
investigation into the matter VIII De mace;
and it will probably be definitely settled
