“ Don't talk to me,” said the lettuce 
to the turnip. “ I have a heart and you 
haven’t.” “I don’t see ho-sv that can

“Why is a man who takes subscrip¬ 
tions for The R N.-Y. like a policeman?” 
said the bookkeep.-r. Rut the editor 
gave it up. “ Because he’s a club-raiser,” 
murmured the bookkeeper, as he dodged 
the mucilage bottle. 
“ The little mermaids and merhoys 
never have any snow under the ocean, 
do they, mamma?” said .Jacky. “No,

fights they have fishball fights, eh ? ” said 
Jacky.— Harper's Young People.

THE MAPE8 CARRAOE MANURE. 
Some of the largest truckers are using 150 tons and upwards a season of the Mapes Manure for Potatoes, Cabbages, 
Early Truck, Spinach, Lettuce, Celery, Onions, etc. 
Some of these now use no stable manure beyond the supply from the few horses they keep, although formerly they were 
heavy purchasers until convinced after an experience of eight or ten years of the greater economy and efficiency of the 
Mapes Manure. They claim the great advantages of EARLIER MATURITY and SUPERIOR QUALITY OF PRODUCT. 
For Fruit Growers. 
THE MAPES FRUIT AND VINE MANURE. 
For Grapes for Market and Wine; Currants, Strawberries and all Small Fruits; Peach, Apple 
and Pear Orchards. 
Vineyards that have received nothing but the Mapes Fruit and Vine Manure since setting out over 10 years ago, have 
proved to be the healthiest, and to produce FRUIT EARLIER in maturity, FINER FLAVORED and FINER COLORED, and 
to yield more largely than where stable manure was used. 
The Mapes Manures have been used many years and almost exclusively by the growers on the North River, whose 
methods have been described in The Rubal New-Yorker, under the title “ Fertilizers and Fruit.” 
Over 3,000 tons of the Mapes Fruit Manures were sold in the first six months of the year 1893. Address

The lady had implied a doubt as to the 
statement of the dairyman. “ Madam,” 
he said, indignantly, “ my reputation 
rests upon my butter.” “ Well,” she re¬ 
plied, testily, “you needn’t get ugly 
about it. The foundation is strong 
enough to keep it up forever.”— Detroit
