ICY UIVER SAVES MANY LIVES.
Preven?s Twentieth Century Limited
from Plunging Into River.
Poughkeepsie, X. V., March 18.
Running 00 miles an hour and round
ing a curve close by the banks "of
Ibo Hudson, the first section of the
Now york Cent ra rs Twentieth Cen
tury Limited struck a broken rall and
tour car.-, plunged Into the ice-cov
ered river near here this morning.
Thirteen persons were injured, seve
ral seriously, bul none mortally, it
i.s believed.
Tho thick ico coating of tho
Stream acted as a check lo the rush
of Ibo cars and kepi i hem from slid
ing hilo deep water, while the steel
construction of the conches probably
prevented far worse destruction.
Had the riser been free of ice many
persons probably would havo been
drowned. Waler entered some or
tho sleepers t > the depth of the lower
berths and gave many of tho passen
gers an icy bath.
The train was running in two sec
tions. The second section was hut
len minutes behind tho first and Ibo
wreck of the first had set a danger
ous trap for it.
Frank Lee. the conductor of the
wrecked train, saved tho second sec

Our 10-1-4 analyzes .
Wo haven't an analysis of our 8-4-4
at hand, hut any one who has ever
seen the crops made where our 8-4-4
is used would not. stop to ask about
an analysis. The crops speak for
themselves. It refreshes a man's
soil and the earth yields up her in
crease.
Buying 8-4-4 is Uko buying an
Ames shovel, or a Disston saw, or a
Rodgers knife, or a Remington type
writer, or dealing with thc Farmers'
and Merchants' Bank at Anderson
you don't make any mistake. You
run no risk and take no chances, be
cause you are getting the very best
in the respective lines.
The analysis of fertilizer does not
mean anything until you know the
source of ammonia in the fertilizer.
The difference in the phosphoric acid
and in tho potash of the different
manufactures of fertilizer does not
cut much Uguie, because it is all
practically the same. One is about
as good as another. ?
The difference in fertilizer depends
upon the ammonia used. We use a
little of nitrate of soda to make the
crop start off nicely, and Iben we use
blood, tankage, llsh, cotton seed meal
and sulphate of ammonia. This
makes the best goods put in sacks
and it makes a goods that will nnai
yzo well.
A manufacturer can get ammonia
from hoof meal, horn meal, and
leather meal, and make a fertilizer
that will analyze higher than ours,
and can make lt so that lt will sell
for $3 a ton less than we can sell
ours and make more profit per ton
than wo make on ours. This may ac
count for some of the low prices you
hear of. But tho goods won't make
the crops that our goods will make,
for the reason that hoof meal and
horn meal and leather meal aro not
available as plant food. They are not
available for tho simple reason that
they are not soluble in water. Hoof
neal und ' m?r\l nryA leather!
oval aro hoo.V and hotos and lo-1
t').:?. glOUnU .'.?..?. ly. jo: ; ?. c o u MI.';'.) I
is . a ground ito ely. von can tak
hoof moil I and horn meal and leather
stay for a year and go naen io it ann
the hoof meal and horn meal and
leather meal are not dissolved. They
can't possibly become plant food un
til they do dissolve.
Now. corn and cotton are planted
and gel their growth and maturity
within seven months. if hoof meal
and born meal and leather meal can't
be dissolved in water In a year, they
can't become plant food in seven
months.
Now. frankly, wc don't suppose
any fertilizer manufacturer gets his
ammonia solely from hoof meal and
horn meal and leather meal. We
don't doubt that those who use it mix
it with tankage; for very few manu
facturers use blood and fish. They
mix it with tankage or cotton seed
meal, but the ammonia in their
fertilizer ls unavailable just to the
extent that they uso this hoof, horn
and leather meal.
When you remember that only
about one-thlrtisth of an ounce of
ammonia gets to each plant you can
see that lt. will bo necessary for all
of this one-thirtieth of an ounce to
bo available.
You can make but one crop a year,
and as cotton In this country is the
money crop, lt would seem to ho de
sirable to get the best fertilizer for it.
Wo don't uso hoof meal or horn
meal or leather meal In our factory.
Wo don't suppose that any fertilizer
manufacturer in creation would ad
mit tim use of it if he did use lt, hut
you arc at liberty, and any ono else is
at liberty to visit our factory at such
lime as ho wishes, with or without
notice to us of your coming, slay as
long as you please?, go through the
building, take samples of any and
everything you seo and have it anal

may have an analysis made Oil suspi

wish. Wo run an open shop all the
year 'round.
Tho law requires tho fertilizer
manufacturers to put the source of
nmmoninte used in his fertilizer ona
tag to bo attached to each sack. The
tags on our fertilizers show that we
get the ammonia from blood, lank
age, cotton seed meal, sulphate of
ammonia and llsh. The tags on most
other fertilizers gho tho source of
ammonia as "organic." and "mine
ral." Mineral sources are sulphate

of ammonia and nitrate of soda. Or
ganic may mean anything. You
can't tell what it means from the tag.
When you buy fertilizer with that
tag on it you aro buying a pig In a
poke. This may also account for
some low prices you hear of. When
a man bas a thing to sell he usually
gives the best description of it that
lt will stand.
Some people every year mix their
own fertilizer. They buy acid, cot
ton seed meal, kalnit and muriate
and mix their own goods. Their only
source of ammonia in this goods is
colton seed meal, which ls very good
whllo it lasts. It gives out about the
time tho cotton beg*ins to fruit and
that causes lt to shed.
Xow. if blood, tankage, sulphate of
ammonia and fish are worth any
thing in a fertilizer, our goods must
be better than your home-mixed
goods, where you use none ol' these
ammonia tes.
Hy using cotton seed meal only as
an ammonlnto, you may make an
8-3-3 for $2 a ton less than we ask
for it.
That $2 a ion will represent a dif
ference of from forty to sixty cents
an acre in your fertilizer bill. We
don't think there ls any doubt that
S-:?-:? ammonlated as wo ammonlate
it will make 100 pounds of lint cot
ton to the acre more than a home
mixed fertilizer with cotton seed meal
as the only source of ammonia. This
100 pounds of Hut cotton ls now
worth about $10.50. We don't know
what lt will be worth next fall-off
hand we should say from $8 to $12.
lt doesn't seem likely that cotton
will bring over 12 cents next fall, and
we sincerely hope lt won't bring less
than S cents.
Where farmers have been using
thc best fertilizers and using it freely
we wish to suggest to them tho Im
propriety of using an Inferior goods,
and using lt less freely, as if they do
their lands will become run-down.
Most farming lands In this section
are in a good state of cultivation. It
will be cheaper to keep them that

It is the same way In fertilizing
your land, and besides you will lose
the extra crop that you failed to
make while your land is run down.
Our 10-1 and 10-fi aro good fertiliz
ers to use where your lands aro flat
or where cotton grows very rank, and
some of the bolls fail lo open. This
extra percentage of phosphoric acid
in the 10-1 and 10-fi will give thc
cotton boll an early maturity. And
when a cotton boll is grown it opens,
just as when a watermelon will ripen
when it is grown, and it won't ripen
until lt. gets its growth.
Wo want to urge you to use on
your ordinary lands our 8-3-3, O-H-'?,
8-4-4, 10-4-4 and 10-3-3. You will?
get more ammonia and less filler, and
you will get more fish in these fer
tilizers than in any others. We (ian
make any analysis you want. Mak
ing fertilizers is like making clothes.
You can take a bolt of cloth to a
tailor, and from (hat. bolt ho can
make a suit of clothes to flt. a 10
year-old boy, and by using more
cloth ho can make a suit of clothes
to flt a man weighing 250 pounds.
lt. is the same way in making fer
tilisers. Ry using more or less of
tho potash and ammonia wo can
mako any goods you want.
And now a last word to the home
mixers. If you use the same ammo
nites we use, your goods will cost
you more than we ask you for? ours,
and your goods won't be as well made
as ours because you are not equipped
for it. If you don't use the ammoni
atos we use your goods will not be
as good as ours, nor as well manipu
lated.
If you give two cooks the same
materials for making bread, one will
make better bread than the other.
The more experienced cook will make
the better bread. And the fertilizer
man who gives his Hmo and ibought
lo it. and bas the equipment, is
hound to mix lt belter than the man
who only mixes ii few days in tho
spring of'the year without the equip
ment.
Fertilizer is Ibo cheapest and most
reliable labor you can gol on the
farm. Il is Hie only labor you can
gel that, works 24 hours a day, rainy
days, Sundays, holidays and Satur
days. Hot tho best; whatever you do
Ibo Anderson goods.
