Cents per pound.

A commercial valuation of fertilizers
based upon the foregoing schedule Is
nothing more or less than a statement
Of the average price at which the same
amounts of potash, phosphoric acid and
nitrogen in the same or in equally good
forms of chemicals and fertilizer stock
could have been bought at retail during
the six months preceding March i,
1901, in such cities as Boston, Provi-
dence and New York.
The difference between the CONNER
cial valuation and the cost of the ready
mixed commercial fertilizer goes to
cover grinding and mixing, interest
on the investment, freight, rebagging,
agents commissions, bad bills, ETC.,
and. finally, profits.

''If yesterday failed od in comfort and mirth,
You can start in brand new with today.
For the nights, like thick curtains, I've hung to

The past from tie weary and weak;
So prithee be doiey nor linger to brood

"There are pages OF pathos and pages of cheer
To be read in each story Of life
Wen close the old chapters and still perssvere
Through love or good fortune strife.

A solace It's easy to seek;
Let the hours drift away; you will soon find that

Perhaps Your Pastures Need Help.

The severe drought has been hard on
pastures, both on account of lack OF
moisture and on account of overstock-
ing. The sod Is killed out In places,
and weeds will come In. The lifetime
of these pastures could be prolonged
by some attention right now. The best
way to control weeds Is to crowd them
out, and there Is no better plant than
timothy to do this with until better
pasture grasses can get new foothold.
In September, no matter II the wealth
or Is dry, grain drill with sharp hoes
should be run over all thin patches In
the pasture, distributing one-fourth to
one-third OF n bushel of timothy seed
an acre In connection with 200 pounds
an acre OF high grade acid phosphate.
The drill holes will cut the thin sod so
that some of the seed will find fresh
soil for starting when the fall rains
come, and the trash OF the old sod Will
furnish some winter protection to the
new plants. If some stable manure can
be spared for light top dressing. 1t
will pay well In making n sod that Will
choke out the weeds. We expect too
much of our pastures and help them
100 little, says q Farm and Fireside
writer.

1T Is IMPORTANT.
To Know What You Are Taking When
Using Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to com
sumption, and the Importance of early
and judicious treatment Of catarrh,
whether located In the head, throat or
bronchial tubes, cannot be too strongly
emphasized.
The list of catarrh cures Is as long
as the moral law and the forms In
which they are administered. numcr-
Gus and confusing, from sprays. inhal-
ers. washes. ointments. and salves to
powders. liquids. and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and the most effective
but with nearly all advertised catarrh
remedies it is almost entirely matter
of guess work as to what you are taxi
ing into your system. as the proprie-
tors, while making all sorts of claims
as to what their medicines will do. al
ways keep ii close secret as to what
they are.
The success and popularity of the
new catarrh cure, StunrtS Catarrh
Tablets. is largely because ii not only
cures catarrh but because cataprh suf-
ferers who use these tablets know
what they are taking into their sys-
tens. Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are
composed of Red Gum. Blood Root and
similar valuable and antlseptic in
gradients. and are pleasant to the taste
and being dissolved in the mouth they
take immediate effect upon the mucous
lining of the throat, nasal passages
ana whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished in old chronic
cases of catarrh are little short of re-
markable. and the advantage of know
ing what you are putting into your
stomach is of paramount importance
when it is remembered that the cocaine
or morphine habit has been frequently
contracted as the result of using secret
catarrh remedies.
Stua,t's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians. 90
cause their antiseptic character render
them perfectly safe for III" general
public to use and their composition
makes them Il common sense cure for
all forms of catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them al - cents
