The Best Fertilizer for Seeding
Down

Farmers who are looking for first
class fertilizer for seeding down in the
Summer or Fall will find it in the fol-
lowing formula. This formula was de-
vised by the Director of the Vermont
Experiment Station at Burlington and
published in Bulletin No. 116 of the
station. The amounts named are for
one acre.
Raw Ground Bone, 300 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood Ashes, 300 to 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash 80 to 20 lbs.
The ingredients of this mixture are all
recognized as valuable fertilizing agents
but with the exception of Ashes they
heretofore have been difficult to obtain
in the markets of Vermont. This condi-
ton is now changed and all the materi-
ais of the formula-except the ashes,
which the farmer can usually furnish
himself-can be purchased of Carroll S.
Page, Hyde Park. Vt, who will be
pleased to make quotations on applica-
ton.
The Murate of Potash and Acid Phos,
plate he sells are the purest that can be-
bought and his Raw Ground bone is
guaranteed to be absolutely pure and
the best the market affords The Bone

founded with the Bone ordinarily offered
by the trade as that has usually been
steamed or treated with acids. 1t will
be usually found that practically all the
heterogeneous elements have been removed
to make glue, thus taking away the
most valuable part of the bone. If you
are interested in the matter of Summer
or Fall seeding or of Fertilizers for any
purpose, write him for information and
prices, mentioning this paper. 22tf

One of the most interesting animals
of the new world and yet one of which
little seems TO be written, even by

In Mexico and the Central American
states. is the ocelot, the strange little
spotted Cat OF. the dense jungles OF
tropical parts OF the two Americas.
They are not nearly 40 heavy as the
average lynx Of the elstern woods and
are infinitely lighter ON their feet.
They run with the greatest agility up
ana down the almost perpendicular
trunks of trees and follow n crippled
bro out on limbs too slender, It would

occlots principal food, aud their hunt.
Ing Is done almost altogether by day,
though. like all the cat tribe, they are
thoroughly at home in the blacklist

The parrots which they hunt fre.
quent the th!ckest of forests, coming
TO the ground only In the rare open
spaces and along the banks of the
many small streams where they drink.
In order TO follow them it is necessary
that the ocelots be great jumpers, and
SO they are. When i was following

casional mountain lion was wont ia
say that the latter was the greatest
