Saw a cat and he thought he would taesar, 
But the cat was too fly, 
And she scratched out an eye; 
Now C:osar just sees her and flaesar.

you!”—Illustrated Bits.

“Isn’t Columbus dead, pop?” “Why, 
certainly he’s dead, years and years and 
years ago. What put such a question 
into your year, my son?” “Why, the 
little boy what sits next to me in school 
said his father addressed a letter to 
Columbus, yesterday.” “Where did he 
send it, son?” “To Ohio.”—Yonkers

There IS a Difference 
Reports of recent experiments made at the Massachusetts Experi¬ 
ment Station, using different sources of plant food, show that some 
forms are better than others for different crops, thus giving 
Another Official Endorsement 
of the Stockbridge Idea 
of special fertilizers; namely, to supply growing crops with the 
forms of plant food best suited to each crop or class of crops , in 
order to secure a maximum yield of the best quality. The large 
number of enthusiastic reports we get from our friends also goes 
to prove beyond question that because of this special idea 
It Pays to Use the Stockbridge. 
It may cost a trifle more, but it all comes back, and more, too, in the 
crop. Like a good cow intelligently fed, which “ shows in the milk 
pail ” at milking time, so the Stockbridge shows in the measure at 
harvest time. Repeatedly, farmers who have also used other 
brands say, “ It would have paid better to have used no other brand 
than Stockbridge on the whole piece! 
“ I used Stockbridge on part of my potato field 
and the same money’s worth of a different brand 
on another. The difference in yield was in itself 
enough to more than pay for two-thirds of all 
the Stockbridge I used on the piece.” — Oakes 
A. Dodge, Waldo County, Maine. 
“The Stockbridge goes much further than any 
other brand I ever used.” — Eli Holden, Wash¬ 
ington County, Vermont. 
“There IS a Difference,” 
and it Is 
“The Difference that Pays.”
