GOOD FERTILIZERS 
We have again and again advised the farmers of the 
♦onntvy to make a more libera! use of standard fertilizers 
if they would expect to increase their crops. Those who 
have experimented judiciously in this direction have 
seen no reason whatever to regret it. The foreign de¬ 
mand for our cereals seems likely to increase year by year 
Business is recovering in all parts of the world, and, 
whether the nations are at peace or not, there will, in all 
probability, be a steadily increasing demand for our 
breadstuff's. In some sections of the country fanners are 
straining every nerve to increase their productions. They 
seek the best fertilizers, the best labor-saving machinery, 
and the best information they can get to help them in 
their special vocation; and during the next decade we 
predict that those who skillfully till the soil will do the 
beet and safest bnsiness in the country. There are many 
kinds of good fertilizers—many kinds which are known 
to be exactly what are wanted by all farmers. We have 
recently taken special pains to inquire about the Michi¬ 
gan Carbon Works, at Detroit. This concern has an hon¬ 
orable standing and record. It is responsible and its 
statements are reliable. Its managers are well-known 
business men, and what they say theymean. We believe 
they are making a first-rate fertilizer, and that its general 
use would be a great benefit to the public. We advise all 
our readers who are interested in the matter to address 
the Company for fnrther and full particulars in regard to 
what they specially offer.— JV. Y. Independent. 
Organs and Pianos. 
The Hon Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington, New 
Jersey, comes to the front with what he considers the 
greatest offer ever made on first-class Pianos and Organs. 
A fairer or more liberal offer was never made, for, if in 
any particnlar the description of instrument differs from 
the advertisement, Mayor Beatty will take it back and 
pay all freight charges both ways. As an evidence of his 
immense popularity among those who know him best, 
we mention the fact of hie re-election last week as Mayor 
of his city by an overwhelming majority.
