Plain Talks on Fertilizers How to Get the Greatest Possible Yield per Acre It is a well-known scientific fact that in order to produce the very greatest possible yield from any soil it must contain an actual excess over and above all demands that can possibly be made on it by the plants. Many farmers will feed their stock as much nourishing food as they can possibly assimi late, yet will starve their crops on the mistaken notion that they are "economizing" on fer tilizer. The experiences of farmers, government experts, and agricultur alists every where confirm the fact that plants, like ani mals, need the fullest possible amount of nour ishment that they can obtain if they are to be developed to the utmost. The economy in fertilizers is not in the amount used but in the ratio of quality to cost. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are the best in the world for the least money. More than one million tons were sold to Southern farm ers last year; and every year the demand be comes greater. The best results in producing corn, the good old stand-by crop of the South, follow the application of 200 to 300 pounds of the right fertilizer. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers will greatly "in crease your yields per acre" of corn or any other crop, even on poor land?and the most wonderful results are produced through its use on good land.

Italian Girl's Awful Vengeance Upon Her Seducer Revealed by Pigs Rooting In Calabrian Cemetery. Pigs rootiug in a graveyard in Cala bria, southern Italy, recently brought to light a remarkable story of love and tragedy which cost four lives. A farm er, whose swine had been In the ceme tery, was driving them out when he observed that they had been digging about a new made grave, and he was surprised to see the two arms of a man protruding from the earth. In this grave a short time before had been buried the body of Giovanni Avel loue, a rich old landowuer. His death was caused by the story told him by lone. His confession bared a moBt re markable story of tragic revenge. After the burial of her father Lucy Avellone called this young man to her, and together they lured CampanL'e to her home. There hia wiue was heivlly drugged, and after midnight, while he lay in a stupor, the girl and the young man carried him to the cemetery. Her father's casket was dug up and buried again under the doorstep of his home. Aud into the trench of the gravi the living body of Campanile was dumped, and the couple covered it with the earth. Lucy Avellone told theyoungman THE LIVING BODY OF CAMPANILE WAS DUMPED INTO THE TRENCH his beautiful daughter. Lucy. She bad related only when the birth of a baby made further concealment impossible that Andrew Campanile, whom she had loved, had promised to marry her, betrayed her and then refused to mar ry her. The shock caused her a^ed fa ther's death from heart failure. So when the authorities came to dig up the body, which they believed had been uncovered by the pigs, they as sumed that it was that of Avellone. To their surprise it proved to be the body of young Campanile. And there were unmistakable proofs that he bad been buried alive; that when under the ground he awoke from a drugged stupor aud fought violently to free himself, pushing his arms up through the earth. But he could do uo more, for he was soou smothered to death by the mound of dirt pressing upon his face. His body gave evidence of ter rible suffering. The anus were flayed by the gravel through which the des perate man had pushed them, and his legs were twisted almost Into knots by the agony of his awful death. This explained the strange disappear ance a week before of youngCampanile. None could say what had become of Avellone's body. Then came forward a youug man who had beeu Campa nile's rival for the hand of Lucy Avel-1 to go to his home aud return in ten days, when, she said, if she was alive she would marry him. The ten days had not expired wheu the tragedy was dis covered. There followed a search for Lucy Avellone and her baby. They bad not been seen for two days about the handsome Avellone estate. Had they left the province it would have been noted. A searching party came upon the dead bodies of the girl mother and her baby in a well In the garden of the Avellone estate. A note under s. stone in the wall of the well told the story. She related how she bad drugged Campanile, not to kill him by such au easy aud merciful manner, but to ren der him temporarily senseless go that she could place him alive iuto the grave to which he had sent her father. She wrote that before the body of Cam panile was wholly covered with earth he became conscious and she had the joy of seelug him struggle against the deuth that was overtaking him. Then she and the young man hurried to fill the grave so that he could not escape. She watched there until he was dead. Her revenge then being complete, she prepared for her own death and that of the child. When all had been arranged she held the baby lu her arms and leaped Into the well. Chokes Coyote to Death. Oregon Woman Seizes and Strangles Beast With Its Teeth Fas tened In Her Breast. Choking a coyote to deatli after the animal hud fastened his teeth in her breast is the experience related of Mrs. T. A. Caldwell by the Lakeview (Ore.) Examiner. According to the Exam iner, Mrs. Caldwell. who lives on the M. Wingfield ranch, near Adel, was attracted to the barnyard by a com motion amoug the poultry.

The coyote was upon her in a moment and fasten ed his teeth In her breast. Mrs. Cald well gtiibhed the beast by the throat, and notwithstanding his desperate ef forts to free himself from the woman's clutch the animal finally sank exhaust ed, but the brave woman did not re lease her hold until the animal was dead, and dead to stay.

HEALS .3.3.OLD SORES No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic ular spot; if this were true simple cleanliness and local applications would heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being conetantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment.' Every symptom suggests pollution i I want to recommend S. S. S. to any who are in need of a blood purifier,"and especially as a remedy for sores and obstinate ulcers. In 1877 I had my leg badly cut on the sharp edze of a barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suffered with the place. I tried, it seemed to me, everything; I had ever heard of, but I got no relief and I thought I would have to go through life with an angry, discharging sore on my leg. At last I began the use of S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw that the place was improving. I continued it until it removed all the poison from my blood and made a complete and permanent cure of thesoro. JNO. ELLIS. 250 Navy Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. and disease?the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and can therefore have no real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble and driving out the poison-producing germs and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle o: in purity from the cir culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and hea'th-sustaining. Thea as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and health}' flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi tion to curine che sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.
