She was young and sweet, and poetic, and 
he was young and mischievous. They were 
sitting out on the veranda in the moonlight, 
and she grew ethereal. “0, how I love to sit 
out here in the moonlight,” she cooed, “to be 
fanned by the languorous perfumes of the 
roses, and to be kissed by the soft airs from 
the Sou*ii |” Then he kissed her and she grew 
indignant. “How dare you?” she almr«t spb- 
bed. “Why, I’m a soft heir from the Soo.hj”' 
he replied contritely. She did’t say anything 
when he kissed her again. 
Tw o gentlemen being out early one Sunday 
in the suburbs of London, one of them re¬ 
marked, “How plainly one can bear the Lon¬ 
don church bells this morning: did yon notice?” 
“Yes; 1 have noticed of late that the sound ot 
the bells could be heard more distinctly since 
the opening of the new road. You see that it 
shortens the distance to town.” “That’s so; 
I did not think of that till you spoke,” was 
the reply; and they both walked on mutually 
pleased with having solved the difficult 
question.

FOR POTA TOES—Use the Mapes Potato Manure—3 to 10 bats per acre «I8.00 $4.80 
The largest yields of potatoes on record were grown by E. 8. Carman, Editor 
Rural New-Yorker, with this Manure. 
During the past year Dr. W. S. Combs, Freehold, N. J. grew on odo acre 538 
bushels, and on 14 acres, 4,480 bushels. No rot; quality very superior. 
This miniure is also specially recommended for Asparagus, Beets. Mangolds, 
Early Turnips, aud may be used on all early truck and vegetables. It is not 
quite so forcing as tbe next following manure. 
FOR VEGETABLES—Onioas, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Melons, and all truck, use 
the Mapes Complete Manure (for general use). Four to 10 bags per acre, 
broadcast, raking, or harrowing in. 50,00 5,00 
Theo. F. Baker. Camden, N. J., President N. J. Horticultural Society, and one 
of the largest and a most successful trucker, reported 2,700 bushels onion sets 
on 12 acres. He claims a saving of $20 per acre from combination of ferti¬ 
lizer with stable manure over stable manure alone aud superior results, ear¬ 
lier and better quality; also larger yield from fertilizer alone than stable 
manure alone. 
FOR TOBACCO— Use the Mapes Tobacco Manure—eight to 10 bags per acre. 50.00 5.00 
FOR SWEET CORN, Field Corn, and Corn Fodder, use the Mapes Corn Manure- 
three to four bags per acre. 46.00 4.60 
FOR TURNIPS (late)—Use the Mapes “A” Brand Manure. 40,00 4 00 
This is also an excellent fertilizer for using in the hills or rows for all crops—it is 
very safe. 
FOR GRASS TOP-DRESSING— Pastures and Lawns—Use the Mapes Grass aud 
Gram Spring Top Dressing—one to three bags per acre. 47.00 4.70 
This is much superior to stable manure for spring application, particularly 
around dwellings, croquet grounds, and lawns. 
For use In drills or hills, in the place of, and in the same way as, Peruvian 
Guano, use tbe Complete Manure (for general use). 
These Manures permanently Improve the land by adding to its stock of plaut food, the same 
as stable manure. Tbe decaying roots of must of tbe crops keep up sufficient supply of vegetable 
matter In the soil. Seven successive crops have been grown from a single application to a po¬ 
tato crop on poor land, and all the crops showed large increase over natural soil.

The above cut shows the quality of the Potatoes which were exhibited last fall at Horticultural 
Hall, Boston, and took the Premiums which were offered for the Largest and Best Yield 
raised on the STOCKBRIDGE POTATO MANURE: 
1st PRIZE.—178 BUSUKLS from 1 Bash. Seed, or 7 | 2 BUSHELS per Acre. 
On ihe 26th day of May, ISM, I planted one bushel of 60 lbs. uf the “Pearl of Savoy" Potatoes on a new 
piece of ground ttiut had tjeeu ploughed i he pres lous rail, the rock* aud stump* having hern removed from It, 
and the ground thoroughly harrowed and prepared, St or Lb ridge Potato 71 u tiure was drilled In with a 
machine which opened the furrows and mixed the fertilizer with the soli, und left It covered, so that the po¬ 
tato sets did nol come lu contact with the manure. The potatoes were divided very small, so small lhat some 
of them tailed to grow, but most of them came up,and made thrifty plant.. The rows were three and one- 
half feet apart, and set* about Inches m the rows. The potatoes were cultivated two or three times with a 
horse hoe and one by hand'-also weeded once by hand They were dug and drawn to the barn, and care¬ 
fully weighed uud mtu-Ured, aud turned out lu,6l i pounds. I send you an average sample of the crop, show¬ 
ing'them to be free from grubs or rot. und of good size. We did not get over a handful of sniail potatoes out 
of 100 bushels. Signed, C. F. THOMPSON.
