UNUSUAL R OPPORTUNITY 
A REAL SERVICE JOB. We want a young man with practical farm exper¬ 
ience for a big job which offers a real opportunity for the right man. 
QUALIFICATIONS. Such a young man should have been raised on a farm 
and have personally done all kinds of farm work. The position requires a fair -ducation 
and no man who has not had at least four years in a first class high school or the training 
of an agricultural college or school could hope to qualify. His personal record must be 
clean and he must be willing to study hard and to do cheerfully all kinds of work. 
OPPORTUNITIES. To such a man this concern offers the opportunity to learn 
the fertilize! business. He would be required to come into the office and learn the detail 
work connected with the executive departments. After he had mastered this work he 
would be given an opportunity to learn the manufacturing end of the business. Blood and 
Bone are not attractive in hot weather and a fertilizer factory is always disagreeable. If 
you are afraid of unpleasant things do not apply. After a man has learned the office, 
manufacturing and scientific parts of the business he will be sent out as an assistant to one 
ol our traveling representatives. From this time forward his advancement will depend 
entirely upon himself and upon the results which he produces. 
RESPONSIBILITIES. This concern feels a deep sense of responsibility in 
the selection-of its representatives and has adopted this method of thoroughly training its 
men so that they may be able to give real service to our customers and friends. We look 
upon the fertilizer business as more than a mere job and want no man in our employ who 
does not recognize this responsibility. He must also be thoroughly fitted not only to sell 
fertilizer but to select the proper brands which will give his customers the greatest pos¬ 
sible profit from their fertilizer investments. 
HOW TO APPLY. If you have had the necessary education, the practical 
farm experience and feel that you possess sufficient stick-to-it-ive-ness to take hold of such 
a position and make good, we shall be glad to receive a written application from you. 
Please give us in your first letter your age, nationality, the number of persons dependent 
on you for support, a brief description of your practical farm experience, a statement of 
your education, including the schools which you have attended and if you have had selling 
experience mention what and where. Enclose with this letter a recent photograph of yourself 
and state frankly why you believe you are fitted to hold such a position. Mention this paper.

time in quantity, two high-grade fertilizers : 
AMMO-PHOS 
10.7% Nitrogen, (13% Ammonia), 47% available Phos. Acid 
Think of a “13-47’*—sixty units of plant food in one ton! This phosphate of ammonia 
ift a nearly pure chemical with its nitrogen in the form of ammonia and its phosphoric 
acid mostly solubU in water. Amnio-Phos is endorsed by experiment stations and 
agricultural scientists everywhere. It is especially suited for use alone for pushing peas 
and beans and for grains, or in conjunction with manure or tankage for general crops. 
AMMO-PHOS AND TANKAGE MIXTURE 
10% Nitrogen, (12% Ammonia), 25% available Phos. Acid 
Approximately one-half of the nitrogen is mineral and one-half organic, phosphoric 
acid mostly water soluble. ........ , 
These fertilizers leave no objectionable salines in the soil, are non-caustic, clean, 
fine-ground, dry, and are packed in 100-lb. bags. Prices extremely low, analysis 
considered. Potash furnished if desired. , , 
We are also offering a full line of all fertilizer materials. Write us for prices and

EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—Industrial Workers of 
the World at a meeting at Butte, Mont., 
Feb. 7, voted to go on strike in protest 
agaius the wage reduction put into effect 
by the mines of the Butte district. The 
I. W. W. demand a six-hour day and $0 
a day wage scale. The wage scale put 
into effect is for $4.75, a reduction of $1. 
and is based on the contract entered into 
several years ago with the Western Fed¬ 
eration of Miners. 
All industries in Seattle, Wash., were 
crippled Feb. 7 by a strike involving 
tiO.OOO workers, which was started by 
men in the shipyards. U. S. soldiers 
operated gas and electric plants. 
The Anti-Saloon League’s prohibition 
law enforcement bill was introduced in 
the New York Legislature Feb. 10 by 
Senator George F. Thompson of Niagara ! 
and Assemblyman Walter S. McNab of 
Schenectady, the leaders of the respective 
houses. 
FARM AND GARDEN.—The bill in¬ 
troduced at. Secretary Line’s request to 
give to persons who served in the present 
war or on the Mexican border homestead 
privileges similar to those of Spanish and 
other war veterans was passad Feb. 6 by 
the Senate and now goes to conference. 
Reports of a survey made by the Col¬ 
lege of Agriculture of the University of 
California, made public Feb. 10 by the 
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, indi¬ 
cate that California’s grape crop of 1919 
can be diverted without loss to uses other 
than wine manufacture. Since national 
prohibition has been ordered there has 
been considerable speculation regarding 
the 250,000 tons of wine and table grapes, 
valued at $4,000,000, produced annually 
in the State. According to the report. 1 
the grape crop can bo made into grape 
syrup, equivalent to 40.000 tons of sugar, 
having a value of $S,000,000. Cull table 
grapes may show a sugar content rang- I 
ing from 15 to 25 per cent. A market j 
for grape syrup may be found by inducing j 
fruit canneries to use a certain quantity I 
of it during the canning season of 1920. 
It is further stated that much of the 
equipment necessary for making this syrup 
already exists at canneries of the State 
and what is lacking can readily be ob¬ 
tained. 
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, chairman 
of the Senate Agricultural Committee, in 
an address Feb. 11 in the Senate declared 
that the farmers of the United States 
could rest assured that the Government 
would keep faith with them in carrying 
out the guarantee of a price of $2.26 a 
bushel for wheat. The Government, lie 
said, should pay the difference between 
the guaranteed price and the price dic¬ 
tated by the law of supply and demand, 
for to do otherwise would “create a state 
of unstable economic equilibrium.” 
At. the annual convention of the New 
England Nurserymen’s Association the 
following officers were elected ; President, 
C. R. Burr. Manchester, Conn.; vice- 
president, Charles Adams. Springfield, 
Mass.; secretary, R. M. Wyman, Fram¬ 
ingham, Mass.: treasurer, Y. A. Vani- 
cek, Newport, R. I. 
A joint conference of the Agricultural 
Commission of the American Bankers’ 
Association and the agricultural com¬ 
mittees of 42 State Bankers’ Associa¬ 
tions will he held in Washington Feb. 
26 and 27, with the Secretary, As¬ 
sistant. Secretaries and bureau chiefs of 
the Department of Agriculture, represen¬ 
tatives of the Bureau of Education and 
the Federal Farm Loan Board. The ob¬ 
ject of the conference is to shape the 
bankers’ plans for 11)19 in the matter of 
dealing with agricultural problems. 
Standards for fertilizer and regulations 
for its transportation in interstate com¬ 
merce are provided in a bill which has 
been introduced into Congress by Represen¬ 
tative Lever of South Carolina and known 
as the United States Fertilizer Bill. This 
hill authorizes the Secretary of Agricul¬ 
ture to establish standards of classifica¬ 
tion of fertilizer according to grade, by 
which its quality or condition may he 
judged, which shall be known as the offi¬ 
cial fertilizer standards of the United 
States. No person will be permitted to 
ship any fertilizer for sale, except in con¬ 
tainers marked as prescribed by the sec¬ 
retary. so as plainly to show the net 
weight, the percentage by weight of avail¬ 
able nitrogen and its source, and the per¬ 
centage and source of phosphoric acid, 
potash and other ingredients; the name 
of the manufacturer, etc. Penalties .are 
provided for violations and an appropria¬ 
tion of $250,000 asked for. 
Announcement was made Fob. 11 at 
Springfield, Mass., of steps toward the 
formation of a parent tobacco growers’ 
organization, to include those in Hamp¬ 
den County, Windsor, East Windsor, 
Locks and Enfield, Conn., for the pur¬ 
pose of utilizing the smaller growers of 
the Connecticut Valley in a co-operative 
body to insure protection and unity or 
effort. The Hampden County body is 
now in process of incorporation, and a sim¬ 
ilar group iu Hampshire County will be 
invited to join as soon as organized. It 
is stated that the object of the parent 
organization is not to oppose the big 
buyers, but rather to sell the whole crop 
co-operatively, instead of individually. It 
is expected to grow, sort and warehouse 
crops, so as to standardize the product.

minute on a bottle of Hanford’s 
Balsam of Myrrh.

sands of homes for generations

Contagious Abortion 
Don’t sell the aborters. Clean out 
the infection. Breeding animals are 
worth more than ever before. Control 
of Abortion is doubly necessary. 
The Abortion infection causes Barrenness, 
Retention of Afterbirth and Calf Scours in 
addition to Abortion. Unless checked it is 
likely to run through your entire herd. 
B-K is a powerful non-poisonous antiseptic 
—scientifically correct for this work. Used 
as a douche, it dissolves the slimy albuminous 
matter in the vagina and uterus, kills the 
ccrms, ston3 discharges and controls the 
infection. B-K is much more effective than 
Ivsol, carbolic acid, Lugol’s solution, bi¬ 
chloride of mercury and coal tar disinfect¬ 
ants, all of which tend to coagulate or 
thicken the albumins. 
Contagious Abortion is being successfully 
controlled in many herds by following our 
simple plan with B-K. Send for “evidence.” 
FREE RULLETINS: Send for our 
valuable bulletin No. 52 on “Contagious 
Abortion.” also “145 Farm Uses” and our 
“Trial Offer.” If your dealer docs not have 
B-K send us his name.
