If our rural residents could

of them. If they could appreciate

The soil best adapted to th<

Accordinp to Professor Vorheei
f New Jersey, two hundred hush
Is of sweet potatoes, not includop
vines, contain on an averapt
f 30 pounds ?>t nitrogen, 10 oi
hi.sphoric acid, and 45 of potash
V'liile it is shown nitrogen it

ave too much, particularly in

The one element required in ?
nnsiderable excess of the othei

as proven r.atisfactoiy is .'{ pel

The application of fertilizers
lould be made sometime before

Throat Coughs

are features of a throat

concerning his favorite cow. 11? r<

I old for $125 I'llis was in 1889 Me d
kept her on the farm for twelve
years, during which time site
j raised a ca 1 f each year and averng
led 475 pounds of butter fat per ...
year. At the end ol the ten years *
she was sold to a N-*w York dairy ^
''man for $300?she was then 12
years old. Sue did well loi h< i J;
j new owner, as she dropped a calf

'old produced 7.7*0 pounds ol

of 171 pounds of butter fat. In
