the contrast when the blush settles on the nose.” 
In Russia “hello” is rendered “Tzijakan-

some subject, exclaimed : “ It’s true, for ma 
says so : and if ma says so, it is so, whether it 
is so or not !” 
“Lonqkkllow weare his frock coat but¬

A new book asks; “ Can she atone ?’ A

THE MAPES CO iffiPLETE MANURE 
For Wheat, Rye and Grass 
1,180 bushels wheat from 36 acres ; average, 33 bushels per acre; the whole 
piece planted again Fall of 1880, to wheat without manure or fertilizer of 
any kind. 
W. S. COMBS, Freeiiold, Monmouth Co., N. J., April 26th, 1881, reports— 
“Acres sown, 36, 10 of which were stubble arul 17 stiff timothy sod; variety sown, Fultz 
about two bushels per acre; soil, a pretty stiff clay. 
Treatment .—30 acres, 500 lbs. per acre of the Mapes Complete Manure for Heavy Soils alone: 
6 acres dressed with stable manure, about 10 loads to the acre, and 500 lbs, of the same Com¬ 
plete Manure for Heavy Soils. 
Results. —1,180 bushels and 37 lbs. of wheat, and 45 tons of straw when pressed. The quality 
of the wheat was good, weighing 62 lbs. to the measured bushel. The weather during, and for 
weeks after, sowing was so exceedingly dry that the grain sown on the sod piece did not 
come up as evenly as on the stubble, and as a result the yield from this piece reduced the aver¬ 
age yield considerably. The yield from the 19 acres of stubble was estimated (the two plots 
not being separated) 40 bushels per acre. The grain from the two pieces was harvested to¬ 
gether, and when threshed was accurately measured and weighed (1,180 bushels and 87 lbs. 
from 36 acres; average, 83 bushels per acre). 
Alxmt three weeks before harvest the army worm entered the field and marched directly 
across it, stripping the leaves from the statics aud cutting off the smaller heads. They did 
considerable damage, just how much I am unable to say. 
Have sown the whole 36 acres again with wheat, without the application of any manure or 
fertilizer.” 
W. S. COMBS writes again July 19th, 1881— 
“You ask an estimate of this year’s yield of wheat. I do not think much of estimates, so I 
will give you what facts l can. The piece of ground is the same as that sown with wheat in 
1879—and of the treatment, yield, etc., you have already had my report. Last year it was 
again sown with wheat (Fultz), about two bushels to the acre, no manure or fertilizer of any 
kind or description was applied to the ground. The crop has been gathered by the same men 
and put in the same buildings; a self-binding machine was used this year. The crop this year 
occupies just four-fifths as much space in the buildings as did the crop ol' last year. 
I can only say that I am extremely well pleased with the result, and will forward you the 
exact figures as soon as I can get them.
