WANT TO KNOW .

for protection and durability? Is it any bet¬

Air Pressure Water System. —On page 
94 I notice a description of a water system. 
Being specially interested in that, question 
and seeing a system at the World’s Fair 
that works with air pressure I would like 
to knew whether any of your readers have 
used the air pressure system, and if so how 
it works. What would the difference in ip- 
stalling the two systems be? G. D. r. 
Colorado. 
Thick-Necked Onions. —In 1903 I had 
some late planted onions, and few if any of 
them hardened down. Most of them were 
left in the ground and the following sea¬ 
son I sold a good many of them for bunch 
onions. I had only a small piece and sold 
direct to customers and I think likely the 
failure to make good ripened bulbs was be¬ 
cause they were late, rather than because 
of poor seed, but that was the way I used 
many of them. x.

The 
Business Farmer 
Uses the 
StocKbridge Special 
Manures 
I T is known that the average farm soil contains po¬ 
tential or natural fertility, which, if it could be ex¬ 
tracted, would be sufficient for many years of 
successive cropping, but it is so tightly locked up 
that it is not available for present needs, and it becomes 
available only through processes of decay and disintegra¬ 
tion, which are too slow to meet the requirements of the 
business farmer who is growing quick crops for quick re¬ 
turns. A potato crop is often planted, grown, and har¬ 
vested in ninety days. The business farmer wants to be 
sure of a crop this year. Hence he applies manure or 
fertilizer of some kind. If he applies the 
STOCKBRIDGE SPECIAL MANURES, 
which are based on the needs of the crop, and not upon the 
needs of the soil,— of which we know but little,— he will 
insure his crop as no other method or fertilizer will insure 
it. Try them and see. They are no experiment. They 
have been on the market for thirty years. 
We have to take great chances with the weather. 
We should take no unnecessary chances with the soil. 
It will pay you to read our large illustrated catalogue (which we send free) or 
to consult our nearest Local Agent before you buy your fertilizers this season.
