One of the peculiarities of the
storm of Monday night was the
complete disabling of the big bell
in the Court House, which was
discovered to be entirely out Of
line and beyond reach of the clap
per, which prevented its striking
the hours. There is more or less
speculation as to the cause of this
singular occurrence, but the fact
however remains that the heavy
bell was thrown out of position
though the belfry was uninjured.

ROUGH SOIL.

Neither seeds nor fertilizers are
worth much In coarse, rough soil
The finer the soil the stronger will
be the young plants and the sooner
will they mature, and fertilizers will
be far more effective. Fertilizer IS
plant food, the same as bread, meat
and dairy products are food for man,
or that corn and hay are food FOR
animals. For any fertilizer TO be
"ccn plete," Il should be made up OF
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid
anil should be properly balanced. NJ

from the air by heterogeneous plants,
and perhaps the soil contains all tho
potash needed. II so, why waste
money in buying more? Study your

FERTILIZATION FOR POTATOES.

The potato crop is one that Is most
cases will yield very profitable IN
crease from fertilization. In New
Jersey, potato growers often use as
much as one ton per acre Of a high
grade fertilizer. Intelligent farmers
now know that there is no mystery in
the use OF fertilizers. Fertilizers
simply add to the stock Of neces-
sary plant food in the soil, and these
alant foods will remain unit! us'i
by the crop. Hence the proposition
is boiled down to: VIII II pay? The
answer is most emphatically, yes.
