county uses about one ton an acre OF
commercial fertilizer. The 5-8-7 goods
is the standard potato fertilizer in
this county, though 4-S-7 is used by
some. For caulifower 6-s-5 is the
standard, and 4-S-7 for corn. A great

VETCH SHOULD BE

Vetch is a name given rather loose

rieties in the United States are
not considered successful except 4.

safe TO say that the Miss will never

Matthew OFT, has taken care of that
and instead of one miss he has written
a laughing vehicle that gives ample
opportunity for the display of the
abilities of the members who sing and
dance. Altogether with the ridicu-

sprightly girls and funny comedians,
The Missing Miss is bound to be a

base and bound with a grout binder
paved between the rails of the street
railway line with Hassam paving, re-
laid the pavement on Water street
from the loot of Rines hill to the tar
pavement at the federal
building lot, binding the pavement with
a grout binder, and also paved the
foot of Court street, from Water street
to the platform of the Maine Central

work has taken much more time than
it ordinarily would have, because of
