Mr BlawzAy : “ Aw—this is a delight¬ 
ful spot! I wondah now if I could suc¬ 
ceed in—aw—agwicultural pursuits.” 
Farmer Weedlesnick : “ Don’t ye try it. 
It’s all we folks kin do to make a livin’ 
outen farmin’, an’ them which tries 
agricultural - pursoots is durned sure to 
git left.”— Puck. 
A poor Irishman on his deathbed was 
consoled by a friend by the common¬ 
place reflection that “ we must all die 
once.” “Why, dear, now!” cried the 
sick man, “ and isn’t it that what vexes 
me ? If I could die half a dozen times I 
would not mind it for this wanst.”— 
Household Words. 
The Doctor: “Mrs. Brown has sent 
for me to go and see her boy, and I must 
go at once.” IIis Wife: “What is the 
matter with the boy ?” The Doctor : “I 
don’t know, but Mrs. Brown has a book 
on ‘ What to Do Before the Doctor 
Comes,’ and I must hurry up before she 
does it .”—Medical Record. 
“ Mister,” said the small boy to the 
druggist, “ gimme another bottle o’ them 
patent pills you sold father day before 
yesterday.” “Are they doing him good?” 
asked the clerk, looking pleased. “ I 
d’no whether they’re doin’ father good 
or not, but they’re doin’ me good. They 
jis fit my new slung-shot .”—Credit Lost 
An old revolutionary soldier in Port¬ 
land had a small pension, of which he 
was very proud, and by doing such work 
as he could, he secured a sufficient in¬ 
come to provide for his modest wants. 
One day he slipped at the top of a flight 
of stairs, and fell almost to the bottom 
The mistress of the house hurried to him 
in great alarm, and asked if he thought 
he was seriously injured “I guess not, 
ma’m,” he said, rising stiffly to his feet 
and gasping with fright; “ I don’t think 
I’m killed. But when I was half way 
down the stairs, ma’am, thinks I, 1 I’m 
a-going to lose my pension, sure !’”—

The acids of the average 
fertilizer are very de¬ 
structive to all inetalic 
substances and cause 
corrosion and rust that 
soon eats out the feed¬
