MUSSEL MUD AS FERTILIZER
Organic Remains Of Shellfish Secure
Fertility to Poorest and Most
Exhausted Soil.

Consul Frank Deedmeyer writes
from Charlottetown, P. E. l., Canada:
In most of the bays indenting the
shores of Prince Edward island are
found extensive deposits of mussel
shells, so called locally, being organic
remains of countless generations of
oysters, mussels, clans, and other BIZ
valves of the ocean, and of crusta-
ceous animals generally. The shells,
usually more or less intact, are found
imbedded in dense deposits of mud
like substance and this combination is
fertilizer of high value and potency.
1t supplies small quantities of phos-
pilates and alkalies. An ordinary
dressing of it secures fertility in a
striking manner to the poorest or most
exhausted SOIL The shells decay slow
ly year by year, throwing off film
of fertilizing stuffs. The deposits
around Prince Edward island vary
from five to twenty-five feet in depth.
They are taken up by dredging ma
chimes worked from RATS in summer
or from the ice in winter.

At this misquotation an old par.

That's no miracle could do it
myself"
The young preacher said nothing at
the time, but the next Sunday he an
nounced the same text again. This
time he got it right:
And they fed five thousand men on
five loaves of bread and two fishes.
He waited moment and then, lean

And could you do that, too, Mr.

that business conditions throughout

native officials as to the intentions of
the United States toward the country,
and that comparative quiet prevailed.
