thirty miles away He reached the
suburbs early In the morning and ap.
piled at an early coffee house for some
refreshments. When he had finished
he gave the proprietor sovereign. the
smallest coin he had with him

directions, and l shall give you In

The coin did have suspicious look
Dickens had carried some substance Ia
his pocket which had oxidized 1t. See.
ing that matters looked awkward. he
said.
'But I am Charles Diekensla
Come, that won't do; any man
could say he was Charles Dickens.
How do | know?"
The man had been victimized a
week previous and would take no
more chasces. At length Dickens sug.
gested that they go to a chemists
and have the coin tested. A chemist
was finally found when the shops had
opened. The chemist Immediately rec.

FERTlLIzER EoR oArs-

Il have a half ton of well-dried
chicken guano and wish TO put it in
with oats through a Hocsier Fertillz-
er drill I thought it might be too
strong and burn the seed. If so, what
would you advise me to mix It with? ?"
j. G. Wicks, Logan County.
A better way to make use Of the
half ton Of guano which you wish to
put in with your cats for fertilizer
would be to broadcast it upon the
land after the oats are drilled in.
For the reason mentioned in your let
ter this is very strong fertilizer
and you would not be able to SOW It
with a Hoosier drill along with the
oats thin enough to avoid the danger
mentioned. If you have enough Of
the barnyard manure with it to di-
lutte this guano and broadcast il with
manure spreader or by hand, you
would then get very beneficial re-
