From The American Agriculturist, April 1887. 
Potato Manure, —W. W. Enk, Morrow Co., 
O., asks us to tell him which is the best man¬ 
ure for potatoes, aud whether it is better to 
plow it under or harrow it in after plowing. 
The character and condition of the soil may 
somewhat determine the choice of fertilizers 
in some instances,but under average conditions 
and in far the greater number of cases, we do 
not hesitate to uame Mapes’ Potato Manure a 3 
the best aud most profitable fertilizer for po¬ 
tatoes. In the carefully conducted experiments 
of Prof. W. J. Green, of tlio Ohio Agricultural 
Experiment Station, the highest yield was 
produced from this fertilizer. Our own 
experiments, continued during a series of years 
as well as those of many which we could name, 
have given the same results. This fertilizer 
should not be plowed under. It may be 
lightly harrowed iu, or applied in the furrows.

Piso’s Cure for Con¬ 
sumption is free from Opium 
iu any form, and therefore 
perfectly safe. 
If you have a cough without 
disease of the lungs, so much 
the better. A few doses are 
all you need. But if you neg¬ 
lect this easy means of safety, 
the slight cough may become 
a serious matter aud several 
bottles will be required. 
It cannot be asserted that 
every case of Consumption 
may be cured by this medicine, 
but it is true that thousauds 
of lives will be saved if they 
do not delay too long.
