DEAR SIR:-Last season 1 used your high grade sweet potato
fertilizer and the results have been so satisfactory that / am pleased
to let you know just what they were. l used your fertilizer along
side of two other leading brands, using the same plants and setting
the same day, using the same number of pounds of fertilizer 1000
TBS. to the acre, without any manurel, with the following results:
Seventeen baskets more to the row of heaps, which was 140 hills
long, making an average of over one basket to the bundled hills
more than that obtained from either of the other brands used. You
may book my order for the coming season for six tons Of your
High Grade Sweet Potato Fertilizer.
Very truly,

GOOD CARE is IMPORTANT.
Poor Cows Frequently Are Improved
by Comfortable Quarters and
Suitable Rations.

Much is being said in all the dairy pa
pers on the dual purpose COW and much
does depend upon the breed, but does not
very great deal depend upon the care
the COW receives and upon the milkman?
asks a milk maid" in the Epitomist.
This is very pointed query and may be
answered very emphatically In the af-
firmative. Some farmers think that the
care expended upon the milk COW is just
so much time lost, and that she can be
fed on just anything, and If she then
gives small quantities of milk, that there
Is no use wasting good feed upon her.
This is a very grave mistake. as a poor
milk cow is often improved by comfor-
table quarters and good feed and the best
Of dairy cows neglected will give very
little milk. Good feed and care not only
cause an increased flow Of milk. but q
richer product. I have seen milk from
neglected cows that instead of having
thick, rich cream on top, had only a
thin whitish covering Of cream, and for
the dairy was not worth attending to.
A milk COW should never be con-
demned until given trial by at least
two mixers. as often the trouble is more
with the mixer than with the COW. One
COW that has been MIXED regularly for
weeks by one mixer gave one quart
Of milk when calf was large enough to
wean, when by accident a change OF
mixers proved her an excellent dairy
COW, and that the calf had been given
an unnecessary amount of milk night
and morning. simply because the milk
man did not care to attend to his work.
Warm comfortable quarters are very
important and IL COW is compelled to
wander around in mud knee deep in
winter 1t Is more than likely that she
will not give enough milk to pay for the
milking. 1t will not pay to keep your
own COWS and buy your butter half the
time. There is more waste here than on
most anything else on the farm. A ten
dollar calf runs Off with 500 worth OF
cream and milk, while the family dc
without cream, milk and butter.

WASTE IN DAIRY FARMING.
No Other Branch of Agricultural In
dustry Shows So Much Loss in
Labor and Money.

The keynote to profitable dairy farm
ing is to be found in close study and
mastery of economic effort of labor. We
do not believe there is a business or
earth where there is as much waste of
labor, time and money as is found on
the average dairy farm of the country.
There is the waste of poor cows, the
waste of unscientific feeding, pouring
costly food unsuited to the purpose Of
economic milk production into the cows,
and waste of unhealthy food and disease
breeding stables, the waste of poor
methods of soil culture and its conse-
quent waste Of fertility, the waste of
poor care of young animals in the first
year of their lives, whereby they are
not worth half as much in the market,
and finally the great waste Of brain and
thought, or rather the waste that comes
from lack of brain and thought.
fer to be ignorant of what 1t means
to be good economical farmer, who
are contented as can be in having no
hunger or thirst for the knowledge
that shall build them up and make
first-class men and farmers of them.
From one end to the other OF it, sue
cessful dairy farming calls for a man
who has so much pride in the mastery
Of his business, in his possession of
important ideas and methods, as have
the best professional men in the coun-
try. Such dairy farmer will be
ashamed to be found ignorant, or have
his sons ignorant, of what science is
doing for him. Such men are the ones
who show the largest profits and who
win, besides. honor and fame among
men.-Hoard's Dairyman.

A WORD WITH THE GIRLS.
Learn to Do the Little Things That
Give Enjoyment to Yourself
and others.

1t is the girl who does things in this
world who is attractive, both to men
and to her own sex, which last counts
a little, too, in the long run. You may
not be able to do great things, to paint
great pictures or to sing in grand
opera, but you can learn to make
bright little things for yourself and
your friends and perhaps the light
catchy airs of the day so that your
friends will enjoy them, and If you
can't do anything else cultivate the
art of talking brightly and of being
sympathetic, says Good Housekeep-
ing.
Every girl can do one thing well II
she will only take the trouble to find
out what that thing is. The difficulty
is that she often looks in the opposite
direction; she wants to do something
great and snowy or nothing at ALL But
there are other talents within reach IL
she will only look, and these talents
may be such a comfort to her In her
dark hours that they will make life
better and happier both for herself and
those about her.
How the world likes cheerful.
plucky girl who makes brave fight
and hides her skeleton in a closet in
stead of folding her hands and whin-

as much as possible aside and who
takes wholesome interest in life--is
the one who wins out every time.

ROADS FOR MIDDLE WEST.
Principle Of National Aid Has Many
Friends in Illinois and Neigh
boring States.

In many parts of the middle west there
is as great need of road Improvement as
anywhere else in the world, and it is no
wonder that the people of this section
have gone into the good roads move
ment with enthusiasm.
A state good roads convention has
just been held at Springfield, H., and,
although it is the busy season with the
farmers, there was an attendance OF
about 200 delegates besides many Wis
itors. Senator Latimer, of South Caro-
lima, was the principal speaker, and he
delivered an able and eloquent address.
Naturally he devoted considerable at
tention to the principle of national aid
as embodied in the bills introduced into
congress by himself and Col. Brownlow,
of Tennessee. The senator is strongly
of the opinion that the government
should contribute some of its surplus
revenues to aid the states in building
good roads, and he has many cogent rea-
sons to offer in support of that PROPOSE
ton. At the close of his address, Sena-
tor Latimer asked all present who
agreed with him to stand up, and all but
three or four sprang to their feet. There
was some opposition, however, led by
Prof. Baker, of the State university, and
a protracted discussion followed in
which the professor came off decidedly
second best.
One of the great obstacles to road i'm
provement in some parts of the Missis-
sippi valley is the scarcity of material
for building roads. In large portions of
Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas and several
other states, there Is neither stone nor
gravel All the material used in surfac-
ing hard roads has to be shipped in
which adds considerably to the expense.
But the bottomless mud roads of these
sections are such a burden that people
are willing to tax themselves heavily to
secure relief. II the national aid plan
should be adopted, the next few years
will see an enormous Improvement in
the roads of the middle west.
Where there is good local material
considerable progress has already been
made. In Missouri there are hundreds
of miles Of fine hard roads. The same
NAV be said of Minnesota. In some To-
calities excellent roads have been built
of mining Stag. Gravel is employed
where available, and in southern ILL
nois deposits of novaculite are drawn
upon and some very fine roads have been
constructed from this material. On the
whole. however, 1t must be said that
only beginning has been made, and the
agricultural industries of this section
are greatly hampered by the expense
and difficulty of getting farm products
to market.
