In All Countries the Dog Has Always
Been a Companion Most
Highly yvaiued.

"a proverb In the time of st. Ber.
nard was: 'Qul me amat, amct ct
canem meum' CWho loves me will
love my dog also). This is exactly
how the proverb reads In the book,
and 1t Is true. Whether the owner be
the man on the throne or the tramp
In the road, the dog Is the best of
his friends, whether the dog be cur
or hunter Of high degree. !. In one of
the most famous cases Senator Vest
Of Missouri ever tried before jury
he paid q wonderful tribute to this
humble friend Of man, and to this day
men write to the senator's son for
copies of his fathers tribute, which
has become classic. Some years ago
another dog died in one of the South
ern towns, and his owner, who hap
pened to be the editor of newspa-
per, paid this tribute in the editorial
columns to "Joe:"
Joe was a dog, but he was far
more. He was his masters friend
and companion. Whether the hour
was early or late, or the weather hot
or cold, in calm and storm, in rain
and sunshine night and day, he wait
ed for the familiar footstep, and gave
an honest welcome. He could not
speak, but his heart was in his dark
brown eyes, and in the wag Of his
graceful tail there was more elo-
quence by far than could be expressed
in any spoken tongue.
"Fle was far better than his fell
lows, for he came of arstocratic
i stock. His strain was perfect on both
sides and his blood showed in every
curve Of his beautiful body, in the
Doise of his princcly head, in the
sweep Of his splendid brush, in the
glory of the sunlight which had been
caught in his silkcn coat. He was
dog, but he was gentleman. He
gave offcnsc to no onc he was ad-
mircd by all. His manners were
charming, his disposition perfect. He
was the delight Of women and little
children, and his master loved him
lie was so beautiful, so patient, SO
faithful, so true"
The friendship between man and
his dog is as old as the human race,
When Tobias was going down into
Media with the angel Raphael, his
father, Tobit, the prophet, said: "Go
thou with this man, and God which
dwellcth III heaven, prosper your
journey, and the angel of God keep
you cOmpuny,' and the narrative
reads: $50 they went forth both, and
the young mans dog with them"

Fertilization of neat

The following statement concerning
the fertilization of wheat this fall was
issued by the department of agricultural
extension at Purdue University, July
81, 1917:
The fertilization of the wheat crop
was never more important than it will
be this fall. From every part of Indiana
come reports of excellent results secur-
ed from fertilization and the very poor
yields of wheat secured from unfertiliz-
cd soil. BY fertilizing. the farmer
swaps dollars for eagles.
Evidence on the profitableness of
fcrtilizing the wheat is abundant. In
1916 l.. M. Waggoner of ST. Joseph
county, applied 200 pounds Of acid phos-
phate to the acre on all but small part
field sown to wheat. From the fer
tilized part he secured 22.4 bushels of
wheat to the acre, and on the unfertil-
lied, 1875 bushels to the acre-a gain of
90 bushels, due to fertilizing.
This year 200 pounds of acid phos-
phate will cost about $225, and wheat
is worth So. 90 per bushel. On this basis
the increase secured by Mr.. Wagonner
would be worth $3.50 and the profit
after counting expenses of applying fer
tilizer and paying for harvesting and
marketing the increased crop would be
more than SIS an acre. If that isn't a
case of swapping dollars for eagles it
comes very near to it.
The Ohio experiment station of Woos-
ter, as an average for the last twenty
two years, has secured an increase of
60 bushels to the acre from an applica-
ton of lG0 pounds of acid phosphate to
the acre. The unphosphated yield has
been liz bushels and the phosphated
1872 bushels. Where 1000 pounds of
potash has been added to the phosphate
the yield has been 20.4 bushels to the
acre, or an increase of 1.2 bushels more
than was secured from phosphate alone.
Even at present prices for wheat and
before-the prices for potash the in,
crease in the wheat crop was not suf
ticient to pay the cost of the potash
The addition of potash to fertilizers
containing phosphorous and nitrogen
will not be profitable when applied to
clay and loam soils.
Nine farmers OUT of ten should fer.
tilize wheat this fall Fertilizer moi
only Increases the Weld directly, but
the greater supply Of available plant
food makes stronger plants that with
stand the attack o. fungus diseases and
insects better than those unfcrtilizetl.
At present prices the farmer may cx-
pect Il return OF at least five dollars for
every dollar spent for wheat fertilizer
this fall
The Importance of ordering early
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Those who order early will get what
they want, while those who order late
will have to take what is left or do with
out.
