ON LIMESTONE.

/ have had many inquiries about
limestone lately and am now ready to
state that lean ship in crushed
limestone for $3.50 a ton delivered
here. The price is S1.40 per ton and
the freight is S1.20. Two tons to the
acre should be good application but
three tons are better,
Many inquire about how to apply
it. Those that do it-on a big scale
buy a machine to spread it similar to
to grain drill. But for the small
farmer it can be sowed by hand car
rying pail full at time. You can
also put a layer Of limestone on the
top of each load of manure and spread
it with the manure. But this should
be done only if.you are top dressing
as limestone should not be plowed I'M
der to do the most good. Sow on top
and harrow under with the smooth
ing harrow.
DYNAMITE.
We hope to ship in car of dyna-
mite this spring and will take orders
any time now. The price is about
the same as last spring but will prob
ably come down little.
SEED.
This Office the same as last spring
will handle all kinds of field seeds,
grasses and grains. We will shortly
issue circular letter with order
blank and these can be sent in. With

Honor to him whose very blood remembers
The old, enchanted dream-sOng of the Rhine,
Although his house of life is fair with shine
OF fires new-knded on the buried embers;
Whose heart is wistfuI for the flowers he teuded
Beside his mother, for the carven gnOme
And climbing bear and cuckoo-clock of home,
For the whispering forest path two lovers wendell;
WhonOne the less still strange in speech and
With young Freedom keeps his pIghted faith,
Sides with his children's hope against the wrath
Of his own childhood halls the Starry Banner
AS emblem of his country now, tomorrow;
patriot by duty, not by birth.
The costIiest loyalty has purest worth.
Honor to him who draws the sword in sorrow!
