The commercial fertilizer used an
nually in the United States amounts
to between $4O,OOO,OOO and $50, OOO,-
900. Most of the States have provid-
ed for official inspection of fertili-
ger to protect the farmer from fraud.
The heaviest applications are made
in the Southern States. In some of
the prairie States, hardly any COM
mercial fertilizers are sold.

the recipient of the honor.

HUNDREDS OF ELK.

The Wyoming trail along which we
rode was deeply cut. 1t was made by
hundreds of elk that had gone over it
within day or two. We rode for
perhaps half a mile, and suddenly
We saw small bunch of elk running
along the next ridge, their outlines
clear and sharp against the sky. They
were a hundred yards away. l jumped

the top and sat looking at the elk scat

counting them, and as nearly as we
could tell there were about three hun

been against the sky line very long
before some of the elk began to stand
up and look, and soon the entire audi

of thousand hoofs blended into a
deep bass note, the music of which
was never to be forgotten. Finally
part of them went one way and part
another, and for a long time we
watched them, until they disappeared
over far-away hillside. 1t showed
nearly all the afternoon, and SO any
further picture making was out of the
question for that day; but we made a
VIDE circuit to see where the elk were,

whole afternoon were we out of sight

"A Bows Victory.

Crossroads, Tenn, Sept. 14.--Orbra
Young, the 10-year-old son of Lester
Young, of this place, is a bright boy,
and one who is very well liked by all
who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered
a great deal with a form of Kidney
Trouble which was very annoying, and
which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night. almost all his life.
His father heard of a remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought some
for the little fellow, with the result
that he is now completely cured of the
old trouble. He says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief and now 1 can sleep all
night without having to get up. We
will always praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should be promptly
corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills is
safe and sure remedy for all such de-
rangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made well boy of him
self, by using Dodds Kidney Pills,
and any one may do the same by the
same means.
Parents should see to it that their
children are given fair chance in
life, and there is nothing that can I'M
