Humorous. 
For a spin on the road prive ns a top- 
bugcgy.—Binghamton Republican. 
A married couple, surprised in a fight, 
declared it was only the “lashing of the 
tied ."—Columbus Post. 
Mu. Crossly : “ I tell you before I go 
that I want beef for dinner, and when I 
get home what do I find ? ” Mrs Crossly: 
“ Fault, every time ”— New York Sun. 
A FARMER of Portland, Mich., owns a 
chicken with the comb, crow and spurs of 
a rooster, yet able to lay etrgs every day in 
the week. He calls her “ Woman’s Rights.” 
—New York Recorder. 
Wilkins: “Don’t you think it strange 
that some Chicago property is worth as 
much as 15 000 a foot ? ” Bilkins (sarcas¬ 
tically) : “ Have you ever seen a Chicago 
foot ? Harvard Lampoon. 
Just a Little.— Wool: “ Aren’t the peo¬ 
ple of Chicago a little stuck on their 
town ? ” Van Pelt: “ Aren’t they T If the 
world was to come to an end the Chicago 
papers would print it as local news.”— Ver¬ 
mont Watchman. 
“And what is the trouble?” inquired 
the youDg wife of the physician. “ Well, 
I don’t think the case is really bad enough 
for a season at the seashore. I think a cure 
may be effected by the judicious application 
of a nice summer hat.”— Fllcgende Blotter. 
Husband : “ What was that you were 
playiug, my dear ? ” Wife: “Did you like 
it?” “ It was exquisite.” “ It is the very 
thing I played last evening, and you said 
it was horrid.” “ Well, the steak was 
burned last evening.”— New York Weekly. 
SHE : “ These flowers are just lovely, but 
I—mamma thinks it is not right for me to 
accept such gifts unless—unless we were 
engaged.” He: “Well, I guess it is a go. 
These flowers cost $15, and it seems a pity 
to have the money thrown away.”— India¬ 
napolis Journal. 
“I tell you, Bill,” said Smoky Mike, 
the burglar, “we hard-workin’ thieves 
don’t make half as much money out o’ the 
business as them dude bank presidents 
and Pennsylvania officials.” “That’s so, 
Smoke,” returned Bill. “An’ that just 
shows the value of eddicatioD, which I has 
frequently remarked.”—Puck. 
His Hopes of tiie Hereafter.— Mr. 
Abijah Heapecque : “I wonder how Smith 
will get along with his four jealous wives 
in heaven.” Mrs. Henpecque (reproving¬ 
ly) : “ Bi jah, don’t you know that in heaven 
there will be no marrying or giving in 
marriage?” Bijah: “Of course, of course, 
my dear. I forgot what a splendid place 
heaven was.”— New York Herald.

RepuiaiiDn. 
Men test everything in this world by what it produces. 
The test of a church is the man it produces; of a school, the 
pupil it produces; of a government, the nation it produces ; of a 
medicine, the cure it produces; of a fertilizer, the crop it pro¬ 
duces ; of a manufacturer, the goods he produces. 
Such tests maize what men call REPUTATION. 
The reputation of a fertilizer is the estimation placed upon it by 
the practical farmers who have tested its merits, by what it produces 
for a long series of years. 
Money cannot bay it. It is more valuable, then, than money. 
Being so valuable, can you afford to ignore it? 
The reputation of Bradley’s Fertilizers is simply the combined 
voices of thousands of farmers, who speak to you down the last 
thirty years, and say : — 
“Use them.” . . . 
“ They helped me to become prosperous.” . . . 
“ They doubled my crops, and so doubled my profits.” . . . 
“ Once used, you will never omit them.” . . . 
For thirty tfears we have studied, with long and arduous experi¬ 
ments in the field, to secure the best materials in the right pro¬ 
portions to produce the largest possible crops of the best quality. 
We believed , and, time has proved , that a fertilizer prepared 
with special regard to the QUALITY and CONDITION of its 
plant-foods would secure the best results. 
No Farmer can afford to ignore this experience. We offer the 
story of the results of it in our pamphlet, “ Bradley’s American 
Farmer,” which will be sent free to any one who will address
