that the most valuable plant food is
found in animal matter when proper
ly prepared. 1t is best for the soil
because it leaves a reserve fertility
for succeeding crops, and best for the
plant because il supports and nour-
ishes it from the time it is planted
or begins TO grow until it is harvest
ed.
These fertilizers have been used
for many years and care being used
more and more because their good re-
suits are evident in the increased fer
tility of the soil after the specific
crop has been removed. They are all
high grade but there are special
brands that ought TO be used with
given crops if the best results are to
be obtained
A booklet full Of suggestions as to
the cultivation Of different crops and
what fertilizer will give the best yield
has been published by the Parmenter
and Polsey Fertilizer Company, Al

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
And the Part They Have Played in
Restoring New England Farms

And the Part They Have Played in
Restoring New England Farms
The present increased farm value
In all parts of New England is due 10
the use OF commercial fertilizers more
than to any other cause
The naturally fertile soil that has
been robbed of its essential elem
ents is being restored TO its former
power of productivity
For many years the methods of
farmers in all parts of the country
have been most wastefu and short
sighted The disastrous results have
been felt in New England soonest be-
cause there these methods have been
longest carried on. The evidence Of
this practice Of robbing the soil of its
fertility has been the deserted farm
and the complaint that the soil was
exhausted The spreading Of these
conditions has been the cause for
alarm as It was readily seen that at
no distant time all the available land
would be In that same condition and
there would soon be a nation that
could not produce its own food sup
ply
The only remedy for these threat
ening conditions was TO restore the
fertility to the land, and the only
method to accomplish this was by the
use of commercial fertilizers.
While there remained vast
amount of western land that required
no fertilization to grow n profitable
crop competition was unequal. and
the farm whose natural resources
had become even partially exhausted
/ had TO be deserted In favor Of the
new land Time' has wrought its
changes, and now New England with
her natural advantages OF climate, So
cial conditions. means OF transporta-
ton and proximity TO the best OF
markets can compete with any sec
ton OF the country New England is
restoring her farms to a higher state
! of fertility and the natural result OF

The Parmenter and Polsey Fertil-

which have been added the highest

portions. The best authorities agree

LAUGHING Hlr OF rAE SEASON
"Excuse Me" Which Comes to the
Opera House Thursday Next

hit of the season in New York City,
Excuse Me-" Rupert Hughes episo-
dical farce will now add to the felic-
itations of Bennington playgoers. The
Henry w. Savage success will ap-

brilliant cast which numbers such
well known players as James Lack

Chappelle. Harry j. Lane, Galway
Herbert, Frances Williams, Margaret
Rand, Lucille Lennon, Ethel Weir,
William Wainwright, w. J. Fishter,
Frederick Howard and Leo Cooper
will interpret the farce here, and in
the matter of scenery and effects
the production will, of course, be ex-
actly the same as that shown at the
Gaiety Theatre, New York, all last
season.
Excuse Me" is a distinct novelty
1t is play of twenty stories and

for by the fact that the farce is in
reality a relation of the incidents
that occur on an overland limited
train during its passage from Chic

types are the passengers and It is
their experiences. encounters with
each other and with the train crew
which constitutes the motif.

DEMOCRATS ARE
WELL BEHAVED.

The democrats of the nation are be-
having splendid since the election Of
Woodrow Wilson and all the predzc-
tons that there was to be d mob rush
for office has gone for naught, at
least up to the present. Some of the
old boys may warm up in the chase for
position later on, but none have e&-
hibited unusual exertiOn so far. It IS
true that men have been casually men
toned for the cabinet and other prom
inent positions. but there has been no
determined lineup or organzatio for
anyone, thus il would seem that the
people are perfectly willing that the
presidentelect shall be free and un-
embarrassed in choosing his Official
family. This is well. President WI
son viii be held responsible for the
success of his administrator and he
knows the political forest from which
cabinet timber must be chosen well
enough to choose men of distinguished
ability as his political advisers and he
should be allowed TO do this with only
such advice and consultation as he
may invite.
OF course there has been some activ.
:ty in the several states for federa'
appointments, including announce.
inents of aspirations to become post

SHOW OPEN
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
In Quantity and Quality Ex-
hibits Rank High-First
Day Attendance Good

Cock-a-doOdle-doos and other sounds
of the poultry yard issued out upon
upper Main street yesterday afternoon
from Fair hall as often as the door
TO the street was opened to admit
or for the exit Of visitors. It was
the opening day of the second annual
show OF the Cochise County Poultry,
Pigeon and Pet Stock association,
now become a fixed and annual Iu-
stitut'on in Bisbee, and it was big
ger and better than the one which
was held at the Y NJ. c. A. building
last year. Those who called TO in
spect the feathered beauties and pets
came away expressing themselves as
surprised that so creditable an eX-
hibition had been brought together
where the poultry cult is so young
and the pigeon fancy but just be
ginning
Yesterday found every bird AMI
livery pet that had been entered for
the poultry. pigeon and pet show IN
place, there was not a vacant pen.
The MANAGEMENT had succeeded even
beyond their own expectations. II
was a success from the point Of eX-
hibits both in quality and in quaint
". and as the day wore on it be
came evident that it was to be a sue
cess in point OF attendance as well.
| This became more apparent after
the evening dinner hour and as the
evening wore away. Il was an OK
| cellent beginning and the association
has a right to expect an increased
and increasing attendance each day
If its continuance.
Visitors at the show today and to-
night will see the awards tackled upon
the various pens for the judges did
their work last night A full list OF
these awards will be published in the
Review tomorrow morning
The idea prevails that the first day
l is the least interesting al a poultry
show and many prefer TO wait till
I they are sure ali is in readiness and

sured now that this is the state OF af-
fairs that prevails and the result viii

the really good one OF the first day.
