URRENT YEAR, PUBLISHED BY THE STATE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS OF 
NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA AND CONNECTICUT, SHOW THAT THE MAPES 
MANURES EXCEED IN STRENGTH THEIR PUBLISHED GUARANTEE. 
autee is based on 
The Reward of Sy mpathy —Young Genius 
(who has had all the talk to himself,and as usual, 
all about himself): “Well, goodbye, dear Mrs. 
Meltham. It always does me good to come 
and see you! I had such a headache when a 
came, and now I’ve quite lost it.*’ Mrs. Mel¬ 
tham: “Oh, It’s not lost. I’ve got it.”— Fundi. 
Some time ago a little three-year-old, play¬ 
ing in the yard, came into the house and said 
in a surprised tone to his mother: “Mother, I 
saw nothing with a tail to it.” His mother, 
being unable to understand him. followed the 
child into the yard, where the little fellow 
pointed to a snake which was gliding away 
through the grass. — Youth'a Companion. 
Boarder: “Mrs. l’iuuegan, what is this.'” 
Boarding-house mistress: “A chicken, sir.” 
“Oh, it is, elr: I thought maybe it was a reed 
bird.” “isn't it good, Mr. Baker ? I stuffed it 
with bread and onions, and the nicest fill¬ 
ing-” “Mrs. Fiunegau, do you know what 
I would have stuffed it with:" “No; with 
what?” “Another chicken .”—Philadelphia 
Call. 
Their house iu the country was raised a 
few feet from the ground, and Tommy, to es¬ 
cape a well-deserved whipping, ran from his 
mother anti crept under the house. Presently 
the father came home, aud, hearing where 
the boy had taken refuge, crept under to briug 
him out. As he approached on his hands and 
knees, Tommy asked: “Papa, is she after you 
too?”— N. Y. Ledger.

This excess represents over S-A Pounds in each Ton of the three most valuable plant-food ingrediei 
monia, Phosphoric. Acid, and Potash. These ingredients, figured at even the very low prices used by the St 
estimated values of fertilizers, amount to over Seven Dollars per Ton. 
The Connetieut Station Bulletin, No. SI) (the last ol»e issued), shows iu its report on Special Crop Manures that with th 
“advance of selling price over valuation (estimated cost of raw materials before manufacture) is only 10.08 per cent., w l 
brands this average advauee amounts to from 14.57 to 20.70 per cent.”

Dear Sir: 
I was taken with a very se¬ 
vere cold last Spring, and 
tried every cure we had in the 
store, uud could get no help. 
I had our village doctor pre¬ 
scribe for me, but kept getting 
worse. I saw another physi¬ 
cian from Port Jervis, N. Y., 
and he told’me he used Tiso’s 
Cure for Consumption iu his 
practice. 
I bought a bottle, and be¬ 
fore I had taken all of it there 
was a change for the better. 
Then I got my employer to 
order a quantity of the medi¬ 
cine and keep it in stock. I 
took one more bottle, and my 
cough was cured. 
Respectfully, 
FRANK MCKEI.VY'.
