Cucumbers are green but, they get the 
best of a fellow sometimes —New Age. 
There seem to be cannibals in Ireland. At 
least we are told that an eating house in Dub¬ 
lin displays the notice, “Sailors vitals cooked 
here .’’—New Age. 
Strange boy: “ Why was a monument 
erected to this man?” Smart boy (native, 
and to the manor born): “Probably because 
he hadn't any.”— Vox Populi. 
A woman woke her husband during a storm 
the other night, and said, “I do wish you 
would stop snoring, for I want to hear it 
thunder.”— Otago Witness, 
Mamma: “Graciousgoodness, child! What 
on earth are you doing?” Little Lady: “I 
am watering the flowers on mamma’s new 
bounet. The}' looked so dreadfully dry.”— De¬ 
troit, Free Press. 
“Flossy, you talk too much. You don’t 
hear graudma jabbering every minute.” 
“No, grandma; but you know that you’ve 
lived a great deal longer’n I have, and had 
time to get most of the talk out of you.”— 
Toledo Blade. 
Fred, three years old, and his baby sister 
were to have a drink of water. Fred reached 
for the glass, saying: “Etme have it firss;” 
but mamma said “No, little girls always 
first.” Sir Fred replied, “No, gcn’lemen firss. 
They’re jus as sirsty as girls! Babyhood. 
Buxom widow (at evening party): “Do you 
understand the language of flowers, Dr. 
Crusty?” Dr. Crusty (an old bachelor): “No, 
ma’am.” Widow: “You don’t know if yellow 
means jealousy?” Dr. Crusty: “No ma’am. 
Yellow means biliousness .”—Otago Witness. 
Mrs. B. is one of those energetic, quick 
motioned women who cany their work by 
assault. One day she had started across the 
room on some erraud, but midway forgot 
what it was. “What was I going for?” she 
asked aloud. Two-year-old seated on the floor 
and always liable to be swept up in one of her 
mother’s hurricane passages, asked meekly, 
“Was—oo—goin’ for me ?’—Baltimore Tel¬

STILL AHEAD. 
74 1-3 Bushels Corn per acre for three vears. 
In the recently published experiments 
with fertilizers conducted at the State Farm 
in Rhode Island for three years, the 
Stockbridge Corn Manure comes out 
ahead, producing in three years an aver¬ 
age of 74K bushels and 4326 pounds of 
stover per acre, or TEN PER CENT 
MORE corn than was produced by any • 
other fertilizer. Equal, values of fertilizer 
were used in each case. One dollar’s 
worth of the Stockbridge Manure pro¬ 
duced nearly 2 H bushels of corn and 160 
lbs. of stover. In other words, ONE dol¬ 
lar’s worth of Stockbridge produced nearly 
THREE dollars’ worth of corn and stover, 
reckoning corn at 52 cts. and stover at $8 
per ton. 
At the price at which these manures can 
be bought of our local agents this year, 
they will be found the cheapest fertilizers 
in the market, for although costing a little 
more at the outset, they go much f urther , 
and there is less to handle and apply. 
Get lowest cash prices before buying.
