with Observation-Disclosures Lard"

of the famous banquet given to Presl-
dent-elect William Fl. Taft, in Atlanta,
Ca, on January Is, when the piece de
resistance of a sumptuous menu was

at the juicy dish prepared for him by
making even broader the famous Taft
smile. after be had partaken heartily
of this Enthusiastically Southern
dish. This much is known to all; but
the secret of the sweetness has just
been learned from Caterer Chas. A.
Merritt, formerly at Harvey's restau.
rant in Washington, and manager OF
the Tivoli Hotel Govt Ancon, Pana>
ma, who superintendent and served the
Taft dinner, preparing with his own
hands the 'possum that was served the
guest. It was "Snowdrift," the purest
shortening in the world, made fSom
cotton seed oil and free from any and
all odors. Chemists have pronounced
it the richest and most digestible oil In
the world; epicures have pronounced
it delicious, and chefs have pronounced
it perfect. It was the rare blending of
the delicious taste of 'possum meat
combined with the palatable sweetness
of the cotton seed oil which made the
dish perfect, II used 'Snowdrift,' said
Caterer Merritt in talking of the suc-
cessful dish, which has become nation
al16ow, and which bids fair ohave the
Taft 'possum supp]ant the Teddy Bear
in the affections of Young America,
"because I was anxious to get the meat
favored with a delicious vegetable oil
instead of that of another animal. The
'possum is naturally fat, and another
animal oil would not 60 well with it,
but in 'Snowdrift' you have a vegeta-
BILE oil that serves the purpose and
makes one of the most delightful
dishes imaginable"
Caterer Merritt is one of the most IA
nous stewards in the South and is a
firm believer in the uses to which cot.
ton seed oil has been put. The refined
cotton seed oil is rated by him as pos
sibly the best salad oil on the market,
and his use of Snowdrift speaks vol.
umes of the use Of that product for
shortening.

High Grade Fertilizers

We wish to recommend to you the
use of our high grade fertilizer. Take
for instance our S.4-4 goods. Eight
per cent. phosphoric acid, 4 per cent.
of ammonia and 4 per cent. of potash.
There is nothing better and mighty
little as good. 1t takes just as much
time, trouble and labor to put in a
cheap low grade fertilizer as it does
this 8-4.4 goods, and the results are
not to be compared. People who try
it continue its use. 1t is the cheapest
labor you a get and inthe end it is
the cheapest fertilizer. Crops fertil-
lied with S-4-4 goods take on o differ
ent hue and a different color to the
others. And then, you get more stalk
and more fruit and that is what 1t
takes to make the crop; stalk and
fruit, and this is the special advantage
of this SD goods it makes stalk and
fruit. It costs more than the others
but it is worth much more than the
difference in the cost. If you don't
feel like going into it heavy at first,
try some of it. If you use five tons OF
fertilizer get one ton of S-4-4 goods al
least. Next year you will Use more
and you will continue to use nor un-
til you are using this entirely. 1t is a
complete fertilizer and will pay you
better than any you ever used.
Some weeks ago We wrote the Agrl-
cultural Department of Clemson Col
lege for a formula for an ideal fertilizer
for cotton suitable for soils in this sec
ton. You know different soils require
different fertilizers and we are trying
to make q fertilizer that will suit the
soils in this section where we expect
to sell our goods. They sent us a for.
mula which is practically identical
with this 8-4-4 goods as we make 1t.
Their formula calls for Nitrogen but
we use ammonia which is the same
thing EXCEPT in a different form. Am
monia, you know, makes the stalk and
fruit and that is what you work to get
in the crop stalk and fruit and am
monia helps you to get it. In fact, you
don't expect much of q crop unless
YOU have the stalk and the fruit. A
great deal depends on the way it is
mixed and manipulated. The man
who got out this formula for making
and manipulating our o-4-4 goods
knows his business and we are making
q speciality of this goods. We are will
ing to risk our reputation on the value
of our s.4-4 goods as a fertilizer.
Another thing about 8-4-4 goods
which you probably had not thought
of 10 this: You can't make 1t with a
low grade acid-and you can't make it
with a low grade blood and tankage
either. 1t requires the very best ma.
terial such as we have bought. That
is why it costs more than the ordinary
fe %rtilizer and that is why it is better
also than the ordinary fertilizer as a
plant food. It is made from the very
best and choicest plant food. We
want you to try it for we know that il
will give you satisfactory results: Ii
you have never tried it, try a little at
first. People who Use it say you can't
use too much of it but then you want
to be cautious and at first we suggest
that you get n or two tons out of five
of the fertilizer you use and after that
the demand will take care of itself.
Try it and you will see what you have
been missing. See u agents.
