There is probably no burden so heavy
for the farmer to hear as his fertilizer
bills, but it is believed that this has been
materially lightened in recent years by
the more liberal use of lime. An enter
prising patron of the Egis in series of
articles which will appear weekly will at
tempt to still further encourage the use
of lime by treating the subject in an In
telligent manner as toits nature, its effect
on various kinds of soil, and its general
value for agricultural purposes.
We call attention to the advertise
ment of the Baltimore Clothing House,
which appears elsewhere in this issue.
The proprietor, Mr. Getz. is an old friend
of the readers of the 42gis, having carried
a card with this paper ever since he first
established his business in Bel Air. He
says that this advertisement has helped
him, and we believe it has. One great
reason for this is the fact that Mr.. Getz
always substantiates everything he says
in print. If you doubt this, read his ad.
in this weeks issue and then go to his
store and find out for yourself.
