CORK HIS REMEDY FOR
COLD AND WARM FEET

Philadelphia. Sept. 12.-Cork has
often been used to stop up bottles.
but no one has ever thought OF using
it to stop cold feet or heated ex-
tremities. Traffic Policeman William
Faus. who stands at City Hall, has
an idea in this connection. He says
that cork gives the resiliency so
essential to n policeman who must
be on the bounce at all times TO pre-
vent accidents and keep in good
humor.
In cold or warm weather, whether
ii is damp or wet he contends that
cork has il 'all over rubber. The
rubber wears too quickly, Faus as
serts, and has a tendency to make
one feel as though walking ON
sponges. Then. too, cork is tough.
the bluecoat contends and can stand
the grind OF strenuous day much
better than rubber.

Top Dressing
Grain

while we will be delighted to sell it
to you for cash, we won't require that
from prompt paying customers. But
we will sell it to you for fall pay
ment and then you can sell your sur
plus grain in the summer for cash.
and this will tide you over until your
cotton crop comes in. In times like
this some Of us will have to learn
to Vancouver.
We believe 1t will pay you to side
dress your cotton and corn with
mixed goods rather than soda, for the
same reason we think it will pay you
better to top-dress your grain with
mixed goods rather than soda. Soda
makes 1t take on the condition Of a
hot-house plant. 1t is weak and
watery and sappy and can't stand
droughts, or dry winds or any ad-
verse conditions that it could stand
If 1T were fertiliZed with a mixed
goods where the growth is slower and
the plant is stronger Soda is not a
complete fertilizer. Ammonia by
itself is not complete plant food. 1t
is not well-balanced fertilizer. Your
horse or mule or COW does better on
a well-balanced ration; your labor
ers do better on well-balanced ra-
ton, and you do better yourself on a
well-balanced ration than you will if
you live on just one single article Of
diet-and SO will your grain and your
corn and cotton and other crops.
Some doctors say eating an imper-
fectly balanced ration is one cause Of
pellagra. An imperfectly balanced
plat food may be the cause of your
crops taking rust and blight and
other troubles which crops have.
We believe it is safer to use mixed
goods than it is to use Soda, taking
it one year with another.
These mixed goods should be ap-
piled early, in order for the grain to
get full benefit of them. We have
them on hand, we'll pulverized and
dry, and ready for shipment. The
earlier you get them on now the bet
ter. 1t will bring you in much more
than it costs you.
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1915-02-24

1t is about time for you to begin to
think about top dressing your grain.
And we want to suggest to you that
you use mixed goods instead of
soda, as we believe it will prove sat
isfactory, and is much cheaper. When
crops are top dressed with soda they
take on a quick, rapid growth, which
makes them very tender. AS any
thing that grows rapidly is necessar-
lily weak and tender, whether it is a
child, a calf, a pig, a colt or a plant;
and when it grows rapidly and is ten
der it becomes the same as n hot
house plant and 1T is unable to stand
unfavorable weather or conditions as
well as if it grew slower and were
stronger 1t becomse too full Of sap
when it takes on this quick, rapid
growth and any unfavorable season
goes hard with il. Now, this mixed
goods, which we can sell you, will
make your grain grow slower than
soda will, and when it grows slower
it will fill out better and will have a
better lead, and make more grain,
and We believe will give better re-
suits
that is, 9 per cent Phosprnric Acid ,
& per cent Ammonia, and no Potash
which we can sell you for $50 a
ton. That will put on as rapid
growth as a plant can stand, consist
ent with safety. And then we are
making an S-21a-1 goods and an
S-3-3 goods, both of which will make
you good top-dresser for grain. If
you knew weather and climatic con-
ditions would be just what grain
needs, then soda would be the thing
for you to use. But the seasons
when the weather and climatic con-
ditions were ideal, unless our men,
ory is hopelessly at fault, have been
few and far between.
good grain crop this year will
help out condition that may other
wise be little close with some of us.
We can sell you this fertilizer for
fall payment on approved paper. And
