Proper food nourishes every part
OF the body, because Nature selects
the different materials from the food
we eat, to build bone, nerve, brain,
muscle, teeth, etc.
All we need Is to eat the right kind
of food slowly, chewing it velour
digestive organs take it up into the
blood and the blood carries it all
through the body, to every little nook
and corner.
II some one would ask you, "Is
GrSpe-Nuts good for loose teeth?"
you'd probably say, "No, don't see
how it could be-" But a woman in
Ont.rio writes:
"For the past two years I have
used Grepe-Nuts Food with most ex-

"A little Grape-Nuts taken before

to take buck an alleged half crown,
"then you've got yourself to thank
for losing my custom. Good even
ingl" And he put it back in his
pocket.
But before be got to the door he
flung the coin back again on the
counter, says Tit Bits.
"Keep it," he said, with whitening
sarcasm, "and pass it on to the next
idiot who thinks he is dealing with
an honest man and doesn't bite each
coin as he receives it."
And, with comforting feeling that
Sands had not had things all his
own way with him, Quartermal
bounced out.
But when he got home and happen
ed to look over his loose change and
found the dear old pewter half crown
still among its more worthy brethren,
he went into the quietest place in
the garden and kicked himself Sc
yerely.
For somehow or other he had not
the heart to go and explain to Sands
that he had flung good coin down
instead Of the pewter one.

Sulphuring Fruit.
From Progress Farmer.

A number Of inquiries have
come to me from time to time re
garding the practice of preserv-
ing dried and fresh fruit with
fumes Of burning sui lphur Fruit
preserved In this way Is injurious
to hea lth. The fumes of burning
sulphur have long been used to
bleach dried fruit and prevent it
from becoming dark, as Is always
the case with home dried apples,
peaches aud other fruits. The
product left in the fruit by this
process is sulphurious acid
part Of which, at least, in stand
ing IS changed to sulphuriC acid.
Both OF these products are quite
injurious to health, az they in
tertere with the digestive process
es. Fresh fruit in Jars or cans IN
water Is sometimes preserved in
the same way by burning sulphur
In closed box and allowing the
water or other liquid to absorb
the tunes Of the burning sulphGr.
Fresh fruits can be readily pre-
served In this way but they are

Applying Fertilizers to Cotton
Progressive Farmer.


The Georgia Station has carried
out the most exhaustive trials on
manner of applying fertilizers to
cotton. The officials report as
between the two methods used
applying in the seed furrOw as
against bedding on the fertilizer
the bedding on gave best re
suits. W. give the summary Of
conclusions reached after three
years investigation Of this sub
ject.
(1) Taking the three years. ex-
periments together, it is quite
safe to conclude that a fertilizer
Of which the nitrogenous ingredi
ent consists Of cottonseed meal,
is more effective in increasing
the total yield when applied in
advance of planting and bedding
on.
(2) That such fertilizer when
bedded on fourteen to sixteen
days in advance Of planting will
induce earlier fruiting and lar
ger early yield of cotton.
Note (1) 1t is partly assumed
that the advantage of bedding on
the fertilizers in advance of
planting is mainly due to the
fact that cottonseed meal requires
"some little time to become SOL
uble and available. This as
sumption, however, is only tenta-
tive, and it Is quite probable that
it is equally important that the
acid phosphate and muriate of
potash should be applied and bed
ded on some time in advance of
planting.
(2) 1t should have been stated
in its proper place that in each of
three experiments from sixteen
to twenty pounds of nitrate of
soda. per acre, were applied in
the burrows with the seed, in all
of the plats. This method of ap.
plying small quantity of nitrate
of soda has long been practlced
on the Station Farm and is strong
ly advised as a practice.

Comment by the Editor:

l. 1t will he very beneficial to
your sandy soil to have clay
mixed with it, but hauling it
would be a very expensive way
of securing it, unless you were
removing the clay for some pur
pose. A better way would be to
plow deep enough to bring up
some of your clay subsoil and
mix with the sand. An inch or
two of clay turned up this way
every year, would increase the
productiveness of the soil. The
clay is beneficial to sandy soil
for the following reasons: I
Sandy soil is too porous, and
hence parts with its moistule e
too readily. (2) The grains of
sand are insoluble and offer no
food 10 the plant roots. (3) The
cl"y particles are finer--they
assist in making the sandy soil
more compact and moist; being
finer, they offer much more
water and food surface to the
tiny rooolets of the plants. These
clay particles are much more
readily converted into plant food.
You have noticed that water
running over clay lands becomes
muddy because the particles are
small enough to be held suspen
ded in the water, and under
certain forms many become SOL
uble so the plant roots can take
them up. BY chemical analysis,
90 per cent Of sandy soil was in
soluble; while with clay, only So
per cent was insOluble In other
words 7 ner cent of tho so,d
was soluble, and 80 per cent OF
the clay. Or the clay offered A.

The fertilizers used were of my
own mixing, analyzing about as

10 per cent phosphoric acid.

per cent potash.
Examination Of table will show
that liberal application Of am
mOnla was beneficial to land of
this character and that two ap-
plications we're better than one.

from goth of June to 10th of July,
mixed as follows so pounds IA
or 16 per cent acid, Is to 20I
pounds mUriate of potash, and
so pounds nitrate soda (or 60
pounds kainit in place of the
muriate of potash will give bet.
ter results than to put all the
manure in before planting. Our
best farmers use nitrate ofsoda as
atopdressing on cotton in July 50|
to 100 pounds per acre 1t keeps
cotton green and growing late
and generally pays well.
| think it pays to manure mod
erately well and SOW wheat and
oats and manure heavy; follow
with peas, and manure well with
acid phosphate and potash. If
land is good cut vines for hay if
land is very thin and deficient In
vegetable and organic matter,
turn under by the threeyear rota,
tiOn-COtton, corn, small grain
and peas. We thereby fill our
land with vegetable matter which
is most needed and must be fur.
nished before we can succeed in
improving our worn land and
maintaining our better lands.
