me one, too. Here it is. It’s just as big as 
yours. Little Nell: Ain’t that nice? Let’s 
pretend it’s a strawberry 7 festival!” Little 
Jack: “But it don’t seem like a festival!” 
Little Nell: “Why don’t it?*' Little Jack: 
“There’s too many strawberries.” 
In The Theatre —“Such a figure! Such 
grace and ease! 1 never saw a woman before 
that I really could love.”—“Do you think so?” 
observed a middle-aged gentleman who sat 
next to him —“Indeed I do. She has captiva¬ 
ted me. I would give a thousand dollars to 
meet her.”—“You can meet her for less than 
that. I’ll introduce you if you like.”—“You! 
You would earn my everlasting gratitude. 
Do you know her well?”—“I ought to. She’s 
my grandmother.”

CRASS TOP-DRESSING. 
“In regard to commercial fertilizers, having spoken in a general way, let us advance a step towards the 
Stoekbrldge theory. This, as you well know, Is that by analysis ihey find that each plant has certain elements 
and combines them In certain proportions, so that, if I feed those elements in the same proportions, I get 
that crop, Increasing tbpm as the crop wants them. So Professor Stoekbrldge makes a formula to apply to 
different crops. Now ibat In general I endorse. I think that In general he Is correct. We all know that 
certain crops like ashes, and thrive on (hem, Certain crops are especially hungry for ammonia. We know 
that different crops like different proportions of those elements." This convention at which Mr. Gregory 
gave lila experience was composed of a large number of practical Essex County farmers, and the general 
tenor of their discussion was In favor of special fertilizers, which seem to be growing In popularity every

it Is made especially for Top-Dressing Grass. It is composed largely of chemicals which, when applied to the 
surface, do not evaporate or lose their virtue, as Is the case when u fertilizer composed of animal matter Is 
applied to the surface. It is a special manure for grass top-dressing. In which the form of the ammonia used 
is of as much importance as the amount. Aft the price of this fertilizer ha* been reduced this year five dollars 
per ton, it will have a greatly increased sale. ^
