WHEAT FERTILIZERS. 
Attention is called to the advertisement in this issue of 
“WheatFertilizers,” by the Brown Chemical Co. of Balti¬ 
more, an old and reliable firm, who, after having spent a 
half century in the chemical business, are concentrating all 
their efforts on Powell's Prepared Chemicals for composting 
or manufacturing fertilizers at home. The Powell’s Pre¬ 
pared Chemicals, as proved by the high references offered 
by the manufacturers, have been remarkably successful as 
cheap and reliable fertilizing agents. The pamphlet describ¬ 
ing the Powell’s Prepared Chemicals, giving analyses of 
bones, etc., with handsome colored plates of different plants, 
issued by the Company, is before us. It is worthy of a peru¬ 
sal. All farmers can get one free by application, as di¬ 
rected in the advertisement. 
An Organ with Twenty Stops for $65 
Is offered by those famous Organ builders Messrs. 
Marchal & Smith, New York City. They have just per¬ 
fected a remarkable organ with twenty stops, which is 
destined to be the leading instrument for years to come. 
Continuing the policy which they have made so popular, 
they offer their organ at a price which must bring them 
orders from everv part of the country, and secure an 
immense sale. 
All good articles are imitated and Higgin’s Eng¬ 
lish Salt is no exception. Several brands of so- 
called sifted salt are now offered, but grinding up 
panscale and then sifting it with the salt is not the 
Higgins Process by a great deal. 
Attention is directed to the artistic and desirable- 
articles in rustic work, advertised on our 2nd cover page, 
by the Rustic Manufacturing Co. of New York. 
Now that the hot weather is upon us, most people 
are considering how they can sleep comfortably at home, 
in the country, or at the sea-side. Mr. Hermon W. Ladd, 
of Boston, calls attention through our advertising col¬ 
umns to his “ X X COT,” a perfect bed; no mattress or 
pillows ; better than a hammock, as one can lay straight, 
and it fits the body pleasantly; just the thing for Hotels, 
Offices, Cottages, Camp-meetings. Splendid for in¬ 
valids and children. Price, only §2.00.

practical road-vehiele, Is an ac¬ 
knowledged fact, and the thou¬ 
sands in daily use are constantly

sure or health is far superior to 
any other out-door sport. The 
art of riding is easily acquired, 
and the exercise is recom¬ 
mended by the medical profes¬

health and strength, as it brings 1 
into action almost every muscle 
of the body. Send Sc. stamp for
