prove that the cancelling of the tariff
would not benefit American working
men and said the policy of protection
had built up industries in all lines. He

FERTILIZER.
Many of Our Farmers to use It This
Fall.

The beneficial effect of the use of
fertilizer is now 80 apparent that a
large per cent of the farmers of
this section are going to use It this
fall on their wheat ground, and on
their corn ground next spring.
Farmers who have used fertilizer
are loud in their praise of it, and
well they may be, for in most cases
the yield has been doubled, and in
any case the increased yield. will
more than pay the cost of the fer.
tilizer used.
The Fribley Implement Company
has bought 125 tons of fertilizer
and up to date has sold IS tons.
The fertilizers handled by this COM
pany are guaranteed to be not in
jurious to the land, and no farmer
need fear to use 1t. Their prices
vary from $2l a tom for the bone and
potash to $27.5O a ton for the pure
raw bone. Their big seller, how
ever, is the "Whsat Grower" made
of bone and tobacco, the price of
which is $A per ton. 1t is COM
posed of 60 per cent bone and 40
per cent tobacco. It is claimed
this mixture is better for land than
many others, increases the yield
and quality az much as any other,
and carrying large per cent of to-
bacco 10 an insecticide, chinch bugs
letting wheat severely alone where
this fertilizer 10 used.
We hope to see all our farmers
use fertilizer, not only for wheat
but for corn, because fertilizer is a
sure forerunner of big crops and
increased prosperity.
