He : “ Life with me has been a failure.” 
She: “You must have had and wasted 
some opportunity.” He: “ No ; I have 
spent half my life raising whiskers to con¬ 
ceal my youth and the other half dyeing 
them to conceal my age.”— Munsey's 
Weekly. 
Prepared for It.—H usband (coming 
wearily in and seating himself): “ Well, 
you can buy that cloak you wanted so 
much I realized something on an invest¬ 
ment to day.” Wife : “ I am so glad, dear. 
Here is the bill.”— Cloak Review. 
A Sad Case.—P apa: “Well, has that 
young spendthrift beggar promised to ceape 
his impertinent attentions to you T ” Pene¬ 
lope: “Yes, sir.” Papa: “Well, what 
are you crying about, then ? ” Penelope:

Benj. Franklin's adage, “Buy the best: the best 
is cheapest ” is true every time, and he who acts on 
this basis reaps the reward. 
ilse economy to buy 
poor quality suit of clothes or 
a poor horse purely because they are offered at a cheap price. 
Of Ithere has been a rage in some sections for 
low-priced fi ilizers, and this rage has been satisfied, as can be seen by 
numberless b; ds of cheap fertilizers now on the market. Let the farmer 
ask himself s'-^ously if he can afford to buy them. Can he afford to risk 
his labor for ^ whole year upon an article which by its price proves that 
it must be inferior ? We believe that the best fertilizers are cheapest in the 
end, because : — 
1. The plant-food is derived from superior sources and is more available. 
2. They can be depended upon to give satisfactory results. 
3. They are thoroughly ground and mixed and in fine mechanical 
condition. 
Get the best and you will not regret the choice. Bradley’:. 
Fertilizers are manufactured to produce a high agricultural value and give 
large returns for money invested in their purchase. 
A postal-card bearing your address, if sent to us, will bring 
you our 48-page illustrated pamphlet, which, besides telling you all about our 
fertilizers, will give you lots of practical information valuable to every farmer.
