News from the Deep.— Triton (at home 
on a visit): “ Well, father, what is the 
news?” Neptune: “Nothing much, ex¬ 
cept that a large number of the fishes have 
struck for the adoption of a uniform scale.” 
—New York Sun. 
.Superfluous. Book agent: “I should 
like to show' you our hew cheap edition of 
the Encyclopedia Britannica.” Vermont 
farmer: “ Mister, you needn’t show 
me any cyclopedias. My boy graduated 
from college this week.” -Bwrlington Free 
Press. 
Distinguished Foreigner : “Do the 
American humorous papers caricature 
public men ?” Public Man (savagely): 
“Huh! We haven’t any humorous papers 
in America.” Distinguished Foreigner, 
quietly: “Ah! they do, I see.”— Puck. 
Guest (to restaurant table girl): “What 
have you got for dinner ?” Table Girl: 
“Roast beeffricasseed chicken stewed lamb- 
ashbakedandfriedpotatoeslndianpudding-

third, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighteenth and 
nineteenth syllables .”—Lawrence Amer¬

How it Occurred.— Black, an expert 
stenographer: “Say, Green, the boy from 
the Journal office is here after the transcript 
of that temperance lecture. Is it ’most fin¬ 
ished?” Green (a novice): “All but a 
short sentence in about the middle of it, 
and I’ll be hanged if I can make out from 
my notes what it is.” Black: “Just insert 
‘great applause,’ and let It go.” Green 
acts upon suggestion, and the lecture is 
sent to the Journal office for publication 
with the doctored part reading: “ Friends, 
I will detain you but a few moments 
longer.” (Great applause.)— Life.

The Stockbridge Special Manures, originated by Prof. Levi StocK 
bridge, for a long time Professor of Agriculture at the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College, were the Original Special Fertilizers introduced 
in America, and have stood the test of the field and laboratory, and still 
maintain the lead. Like all good things, they have been extensively 
copied, but the copies have not been equal to the originals in crop-pro¬ 
ducing power, as the great prize crops the past year have conclusively 
shown, the Stockbridge Manures winning over all other fertilizers iu 
these interesting contests. We did not know any of the contestants, 
and the Stockbridge which they used was obtained from our usual sup¬ 
ply in agents’ hands. 
AS THERE IS NO CHEATING THEPLANT, we are not surprised 
that Stockbridge Manure led in the coutest. It is evident that these 
great crops were fed from beginning to end with the proper amount of 
plant food in acceptable, soluble forms. Large quantities of unavail¬ 
able plant food, costing but little, may deceive chemists into giving 
high analyses and high valuations, but they won’t send up the crops. 
The public may he misled, but the plant never.

To Lister's Agricultural Chemical Co., 
Gentlemen : I have purchased from Andrew Erwin your fertilizers tor a number of 
years, and have compared them with other brands, and I am satisfied from past experience 
that there is no fertilizer that will give better results for the money in the market. I can 
heartily recommend it for all crops, both for its quickness and lasting qualities. 
Truly yours, Frank M. Fetter.
