well, provided these lower grades be ap-
Piled in heavier quantities.
So 1t has been found that corn, sugar
cane, sorghum, grasses and other crops
belonging to the grass family respond
parts of phosphoric acid, S parts of nitro
fertilizer. The following formulas are
in precisely the same. proportions, only
they are of lower grade and would give
practically the same results only when a.
correspondingly larger application shall
S4G-1.6O; or 73 &C, and so on. Of
course, these lower grades can be sold
but, as a rule. the farmer viii find it
more economical to buy the high grades,
both on account of their cheaper price
per unit and also the saving of freight
the latter being precisely the same, per
ton. for both high and low grades.
APPLYING FERTILIZER WHEN
PLANTING.
J While it is certainly true, in our ex-
perience, that the greater part Of the fer
tilizer should be applied about two weeks
before the crop is to be planted, well
mixed in the soil of the bedding furrow
and bedded on. there are circumstances
that would justify a farmer in making
one or more i~ntercultural applications,
including one at the actual date of plant
ees ~ A0l'o"'ns are suen eireofns'ah-
O When a farmer has not been able
to secure the whole amount Of his fer
tilfzers before planting time.
() When he concludes, after his crop
has been planted and is growing, that
he did not buy and apply as much as he
should have done before planting.
90 When the yellowish green color and
want of vigor in the appearance Of the
plants indicate that more nitrogen IS
needed by the crop.
We believe it may be safely accepted
as a general rule that a small portion
of misunderstanding Fertilizer should be
applied with, or near the seed, at the
time of planting. The effect Of this small
application is to supply the young plants
with available food during the first stage
of their growth, inducing prompt and
vigorous development. For his purpose
40 to so pounds per acre may be applied
of the same fertilizer that had been bed
ded on two weeks before planting.
A second application of h~igh-grade fer
t%ilizers may be made at the second or
third blowing of cotton, or at six or eight
inches height Of the plants up to IS inch
middle to last of June.
h intercultural applications may be
made in the siding furrow, or the fer
tilizer may be strewn along in the middles
ahead of the plow or cultivator. There
is 40 need to fear that the plants will
not get the benefit of a high-grade fer
tilizer If put anyhere on or between the
rows: June 18th is the latest date at
which the writer has ever applied fer
tilizer in this way to either corn or cot
ton, although there is little reason to
doubt that even later applications would
benefit the crop; but probably not enough
to pay the cost of the fertilizer.

HAPPINESS.
TIRE Difference Between the Sexes In
This Important State.

This Important State.
Cne source of women's happiness Is
10 be found, we think, in their love of
detail. They enjoy every detail Of So
cial life. They love the minutiae Of
their work. They do not love it as a
man loves his, for the sake of an end.
They look close at what they are do
ing, and they do-not look forward.
as they are. A defect, even though 1t
be a serious one, destroys their pleas
ure in them far less than it destroys
that Of a man. They are not constant
~ oppressed by the thought Of what
that defect will in the future.
If a woman is by nature apprehensive
her fears apply for the most part to
little things. If a man is apprehensive
he fears when the fit is upon him the
debacle Of heaven and earth. For wo-
men time goes a little slower. They
take pleasure in each jewel of that
mosaic which makes up happiness and
are not fretted because the pattern Is
not complete. Of this quality they
have, no doubt, the inevitable defects
much brilliance, little grasp and a
tendency to frivolity. They are apt to
fritter away their lives and minds on
little things. They become ~engrossed
with the details Of play a well as the
details of work. Men no doubt have
more opportunities Of keen pleasure
than women have, but these opportuni-
ties are short lived. The happiness of
the moment they are less fitted to take.
The difference between the sexes IN
this particular might. we believe, be
thus summed up: A'man is happy
whenever be has anything to make him
happy, but a woman Is happy when
ever she has nothing to make her IN
happy.-London Spectator.

The Best People

"Who are they? I should say they
are those, and those only, who are
themselves genuine and who are able to
sense and to appreciate the quality of
g%enuiness in people and in things. They
are distinguished in the main by reason
of a sense of values-through having
achieved perspective. They do not judge
people by appearances, nor merchandise
by it's price. They are the open-mind-
ed, broad-gauged, sane and simple folk
whom adversely does not crush nor for
tune make overproud. They are the
elect of earth through the gift of dis
elimination, and with the power of this
discrimination, they are able to select
the best"

The Southwest Wisconsin Fair of
1907 more than met the expectations
of all who attended it.
The show in the Industrial hall was
very fine, especially in the household
and domestic department. Several at
tractiVe displays of goods and wares
we're made by our home merchants.
The show of cattle was not as large
as in former years.
There was a large show of fine
horses, many people regarding it as
the best exhibit of horses ever made
here.
The show of swine was great.
The attendance each day was large.
Thursday and Friday, as usual, were
the big days of the Fair. The receipts
at the gate on Thursday amounted to
81 $50, exceeding by over four hundred
dollars the receipts of any previous
Thursday in the history of the asso-
citation.
Welcome to HOme-comers.
The spirit of homecoming with all Of
its pleasant renewal Of and forming of
friendships was present on the streets
and in the stores and houses of our
people for several days last week, and
it reached it's climax in the afternoon
of Wednesday at the Fair grounds,
when the exercises took on the dis
tinctive features provided by the pro-
gram
Interest was intensified by the ju-
dicious and persistent spreading of
the news that on Wednesday the home
cOmers would be addressed by distin-
guished men who would be listened to
with profit and pleasure. The prophe-
cy was abundantly fulfilled on that
occasion as the large crowd which
gathered IN the amPhitheatre showed.
Hon. Calvert Spensley, chairman,
opened the meeting with stirring ad-
dress of welcome, which was received
with enthusiasm. His loyalty and at
tachment to the town, so long his
home, was feelingly and fittihgly
voiced in each sentence Of his inter
esting address.
Judge Aldro jerks of DOdgeVille,
whose home at one time was Mineral
Point, dwelt in his speech upon the
changes that have taken place since
he as a young man began here the
practice of his profession. He char
acterized in pointed phrase the dis
tinguished members of the bar who
held place in the legal fraternity in
the past of Iowa county. Judge
jerks has the happy faculty of saying
the right thing in the right way on all
occasions.
OF Congressman J. w. Murphy's
address all speak in the very high
est terms. His is a fine presence, and
he possesses a voice of remarkable
quality. He eloquently and feelingly
referred to Mineral Point as pre-emi-
nently the center of early settlement,

Business VIII be Enlarsed.

The Earnest Company, Palatka's 5
big dry goods store, is to be enlarged
by the addition of the store room
next east, now occupied by q. B.
Mobley, the grocer. Mr.. Mobley will
take one of the other vacant stores
in the Merryday block, and as soon
as he has moved out of his present
quarters an archway will be opened,
thus connecting it with the present
large double store of the Earnest
Company.
The added store room will be occu-
pied by the Earnest Company with a
big stock of ladies ready-to- wear
goods and also by its new dress
making department which will be
in charge of an up-to-date modesto.
High class dresses will be made to
order in the most approved fashion
and there is no doubt of the imme-
diate and permanent popularity of
this new departure on the part of
the popular Earnest Company.
Mr.. Earnest states that his busi-
ness is making rapid strides to the
front, and that even though this is
the dull part of summer, the store
has had fine and steady business.
This store is fulfilling a long felt
want in the dry goods trade of Pa
latka-that of supplying line of
high class goods that ladies have
hitherto been obliged to send away
for. Their newest venture is but
another effort in the same direction,
and will meet with the same instant
