her cheek and neck she makes the tondest
preparations for its arrival Everything
that woman's dainty taste can imagine
is provided for the newcomers wardrobe:
Nothing is overlooked save one thing, and
that one thing is the most important. Too
many mothers forget that baby's strength
and health, its ability to withstand the
usual ailments of childhood, and its vigor
and welfare, as a man or woman, are de-
pendent upon her own health and physical
condition during the period of prospective
maternity If during that critical time,
she is weak, sickly nervous and despond-
ent, because of troubles peculiar to her
sex, these conditions are bound to have
their influence upon her baby's health.
Neglect of these conditions invariably
means that baby will be weak. puny and
peevish. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is an unfailing cure for all troubles of this
nature, and it will reinforce a woman's
bodily and nerve strength so that she can
safely undergo the trials of maternity. 1t
gives health, strength, vigor, elasticity and
endurance to the organs specially con-
cerned in motherhood. 1t gives bodily
and nervous hardwood to the child.
AFTER using fifteen bottles of your Favorite
Prescription and a few walls of your Pleasant
Pellets am entirely cured of uterine trouble.
I had suffered for nearly three years" writes
Mrs. F; W; Fogel, Of 273 Highland Ave, Newark,
that could hardly walk. My back and head
ached had terrible cramps in my legs, was very
nervous at times, and felt miserable. With my
first child had to be chloroformed and the
child was delivered with instruments. I took
the Favorite Prescription with my second
child, and instead of suffering for two days,
was in labor only an hour and beautiful child
was born. was able to leave my bed the fifth
day commenced your medicine about four
months before confinement. My baby is three
months old now and is a fine, big, fat baby. I
am in very good health have no more pains or
aches would be pleased to advise any woman
who suffers as did to use your medicine"

per cent of actual potash.
Sulphate of potash-magnesia is
known also as double manure salt or
low grade sulphate of potash. This
material comes from the German
mines and contains 26 to % per cent
of actual potash. 1t also contains % to
SO per cent Of sulphate of magnesia.
Carbonate of potash-magnesia con-
tainS about Is per cent potash and 10
per cent magnesia, both as carbonates.
1t is practically free of chlorine. 1t is
also a product of the German potash
mines.
Wood-ashes contain more or less pot
ASH which is present chiefly in the
form of carbonate. The amount Of
potash in commercial wood-ashes var
les from below 4 to over per cent,
the average being under 5 per cent.
WOod-ashes also contain between 1
and per cent of phosphoric acid.
The following are inferior sources of
nitrogen. They are very slowly avail
able, and should be used only where
immediate effects are not sought. In
some states the fertilizer laws either
prohibit the use of these substances in
fertilizers or demand that these goods
shall be specified when used in making
mixtures.
Hair is obtained from slaughter
houses; it is often mixed with dried
blood and other forms of animal mat
ter. 1t contains about IS per cent of
nitrogen.
Hoofmeal and horn-dust are by
products containing 10 to Is per cent
nitrogen and about per cent phOs-
phoric acid. They are sometimes
treated with superheated steam or
with sulphuric acid, the treatment rem
dering the nitrogen compounds more
readily available.
Leather scraps and leather-meal are
waste products of various factories.
When treated with superheated steam
and dried or roasted, they can be finely
ground. They contain to per cent
nitrogen.
Farm-Produced Fertilizing Materi-
als.-Stable or farmyard manure con-
sists of the solid and liquid excrements
of animals fed on the farm, mixed
with straw and waste products of the
farm.
Horse manure is difficult to mix
thoroughly with litter ON account Of
it's being very dry. 1t is called shot
manure, because, on account of it's
loose texture, it easily undergoas de-
composition or fermentation, prodnc>
ing a high degree of heat. On this ac-
count it is very liable to lose more or
less Of it's nitrogen in the form Of am
monia.
Sheep manure is quite Try. and is
commonly the richest of farm-prOduc>
ed manures. Like horse manure, it I'M
dergOes fermentation easily and is
classed as a "hot' manure 1t is SINH
larly very liable to lose ammonia.
Pig manure varies greatly in compO-
stion, but is generally rich as compar-
ed with other farm-produced fertilizer
materials, and contains considerable

tlOn Raw DOne-meal generally con-
tains somewhat more nitrogen Il or
per cent and rather less phOsphoric
acid than steamed bone-meal. The
fneness of the meal affects it's value;
the finer the meal the more readily
available it is for plant-food.
phosphate Guanos, or Rock Guanos
-Guanos generally consist chiefly Of
the dung of sea-fowls, though the term
is applied to other animal products.
They are generally found in beds re-
sembling earthly deposits. The guanos
which are called phosphate contain
little or no nitrogen. Their phosphor-
ic acid is generally in the insOluble
form. These guanos come mainly from
certain islands in the Pacific Ocean,
and from Caribbean Sea and West In
Ola Islands. The phosphoric acid in
amos is very variable, ranging from
below Is to over 80 per cent.
Rock phosphates are known under
several different names which general
ly designate the localities from which
they come, as South Carolina Rock,
Florida Rock, Tennessee Rock, West
India Rock, etc. Other forms of min
eral phosphates are known under the
names Of apatite, copro1ite, and phos-
phorite, which are found in various
places in America and Europe, and
some of which are used in making
commercial fertilizers. The rock phos-
pilates are extensively used in making
acid phosphates. When ground to
very fine flour-lil1e powder, rock phos-
pilates are called ''floats." Rock phos-
plates contain usually from rs to 30
per cent of insoluble phosphoric acid
and some as much as 35 to 40 per cent.
several different names, such as super
phosphates, dissolved bone, dissolved
rock, dissolved bone black, etc. Acid
phosphates are formed by treating
some form of insoluble phosphate of
lime, as rOck-phOSphate, bone, bone
ash, ETC., with sulphuric acid. By this
treatment there are formed soluble
phosphate of lime and gypsum (sul-
phate of lime) in nearly equal proper
Ations. Superphosphate made from rock
4 phosphates may contain from IL to IS
per cent of available phosphoric acid.
Thomas Stag, also known under sew
eral other names, such aus basic iron
Stag, Thomas scoria, Phosphate Stag,
etc. 1t is a by-prOduct formed in the
manufacture of iron and steel from
certain kinds of iron ore containing
phosphorus compounds. It usually con-
tains between 10 and 20 per cent of
total phosphoric acid, with to and
more per cent of available phosphoric
acid.
\ Cotton seed hull ashes were produc-
ed in the South at the cotton seed-oil
factories, where the hulls, after being
removed from the cotton seed, were
Used as fuel. Such ashes contain from
8 to rs per cent of potash, in addition

tcid. This material is not commonly
found now.

they are year by year freeing them
selves of the many foolish practices
and habits of which their fathers were
guilty. Not long ago the President of
another Maine college remarked to me
that college boys We're learning to get
on without discipline. Our boys are not
perfect; they do foolish things. But
they are usually not half so foolish as
the reports make them out to be. If
may credit what I have heard in Au-
gusta of the way in which the staid
fathers of the State enliven the quiet
hours of the night, the generations
which contributed the last three Legis-
latures of the State had in them the
capacity for more haZing than would
supply such an institution as the Uni
versity of Maine for a dozen years.
TT is a common lament that the boys
of the present day lack the high moral
purposes and serious mindedness of
their fOrefathers. The criticism is not
true but only seeming. 1 can never
again believe it, for 1 saw the sudden
soberness Of duty fall upon our boys
when President Mckinley called for
volunteers and then l knew that the
boys of this generation are of the same
heroic stuff as their grandfathers of a
century and their fathers of a gener-

whether patriotism was not dying out,

President Mckinley is going about
the increase of the army in the right
way. In name these men will be vol
unteers, but in fact they will be regu-
lars, enlisted for two years instead of
for three. According to the Boston
Journals Washington correspondent,
Coolidge" no special call for the new
troops will be issued, for none is nee
essary. They will simply be received
at the regular recruiting stations,
where good men have been pouring in
at the rate of 1000 a week until the
regular maximum of g., 900 is full to
overlooking. Now that the old regular
regiments have their entire strength
the regular recruiting service can
easily turn its surplus over to the new
regiments. The volunteer regiments
will not be under state names, but will
be known as United States volunteers
and numbered in order.

The kissing bee" is well known and
fairly popular in most rural sections,
but the kissing bug is something
new in these parts and it doesn't
possess a single element of popularity.
1t is called the "melanolestes picipes'
by scientific gentlemen, but is known
as the kissing bug" in popular par
lance, because the favorite place for the
insect to insert its poisonous sting is
in the lip. 1t doesn't hurt at the time
kisses never do, you know,-but later
the lip swells painfully and much in
convenience results. The bite of the
mosquito or the sting of the honey bee
isn't in it with this new pest. The
New York and Washington papers
have had much to say about it, and
we fear it may be headed for the New
England summer resort. 1t would
find there a most tempting field for
operations. By the way, why wasn't
it called the Hobson bug?

las rich as a Jew is a common say
ing, and it is usually taken for granted
that the Jews are the wealthiest class
in this. as we'll as other countries. y
writer in Ainslee'S Magazine shows the
error of this idea. and makes the some
what remarkable statement that in
list of a hundred of the richest men of
the United States. there is not to be
found the name of a single Jew. The
explanation offered by this writer that
the Jews are spectators and gamblers.
and what they make is not always held
securely; that they have not generally
begun with capital secured by in
heritance, and have not, until lately,
invested in land; that they are oriental
in their taste, and spend with much
liberality to themselves and others:
that. in short, they are money makers.
but not money-savers, is by no means
satisfactory or conclusive, as a solution
of this condition, which is in marked
contrast to that prevailing in the chief
countries of Europe, where the large
fortunes are. to a great extent, monop-
oliZed by the Jews.
