The Best Fertilizers for Corn
That the yield of corn from the average farm can be greatly in
creased by intelligent and liberal fertilization has been repeatedly
demonstrated. Large crops of good corn result from preparing the
land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed
and proper cultivation.

will greatly "increase your vield per acre " of corn or any other crop. u
In some cases remarkable results have been obtained.
Mr. C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, Fla., writes:," Words r
cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far ahead b
of other companies' goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other
brands, were they given free and put in the field. I can prove what
I say to be a fact. I made a test on five acres. I used on one half
the fand your fertilizer and on the other half another company s fertil
izer, same grade: the land received the same cultivation every time. t
I kept a correct account of the amount of money I got off each half s
andlgot $300 more from the land on uhich I used Virginia-Carolina n
Fertilizer than I did off the other half. I got four times as much a
corn from the land on which I used your fertilier.

A PARISIAN HAIR CUT.
It Is Expensive at Times,-but Always
a Sociable Affair.
The Paris hairdresser cannot be per
suaded to do anything more than pre
tend to remove a little hair. It almost
breaks his heart if you insist on a
serviceable cut.
The price charged is sometimes a
painful surprise to the unsuspecting
visitor. He has been warned to avoid

is not disrNlayed and so does not hesi

"Hair Cutting. 1 Franc."
When the operation is over. how
ever, he is a little hurt at being asked
for 3 francs.
If he knows enough French to un
derstand. he gathers that 1 franc is
for the hair cutting. 1 franc for a "fric
tion" and 1 franc for "perfume."
Frenchmen pay these charges with
out complaining and seem to enjoy a
visit to the barber's. As they gener

men have their hair "cut" once a week

Proceeding In a southerly direction

employed to better advantage.
Attached to the legs are the feet.
Some varieties of feet are cold. Some
people are born with cold feet, others
acquire cold feet, and still others have
cold feet thrust upon them.

120. He was trained at first to com

awakened in his heart the religious
zeal which made him devote his life
henceforth to developing the faith
which he held. tUpon his return to his
native city in 1844 he assumed the
title of Bab, or "Gate" leading to the
truth. In the eyes of the orthodox
Mohammedans .the tenets of the Bab
were rank heresy, and he was taken

Rats' Cold Weather Retreat.
Many animals snuggle together for

know they may try a dozen freshly
used burrows witholit finding a rat,
when suddenly from a single hole the
rats will come pouring out In a stream
of frenzjed fur. Twenty or more rats
will lie together In one hole.
They are clever enough to block up
a hole on the windward side to keep
out the dtaft so that when a rat hole
Is noted newly stopped with soll,:tur

RAILROAD STORIES.
The Man Who Paid the Conductor and
the Name on the Ticket.
An vld time traveling man was 't
Ing of experiences of former days on
the road. "Frequently," said this trav
eler, "I journeyed to Cincinnati. The
fare from my city to that place was
then about-$3.25. I saved something
by handing the conductor $2 in cash.
One day there was an excursion, and
I bought a round trip ticket for $1.25
or $1.50-I'vve forgotten the exact
amount, but that circumstance need
not cripple this story. When I handed
this ticket to the conductor as he tore
off the return coupon he looked at me
and in a voice betraying how deeply
he was hurt he remarked, 'My young
friend, don't you know that I can af
ford to haul you much cheaper thaf
this company can?'
"On another occasion, when in Chi
cago, a colored man met me at the en
trance of the station, asked me where
I was going and offered to sell me a
ticket for $1. The ticket was to Louis
ville, but I was only going to Indian
apolis. Cheap enough.
"When the conductor casie along to
take up my ticket he asked me my
name. It was usual t6 write one's
name on the ticket in the presence of
the conductor. I told him my name
was on the ticket He grinned as he
handed it back and asked me to look
at it and say if that was my name. I
looked. The name on the ticket was
'Mary Flaherty.' He grinned again,
somewhat sarcastically, but he took
the ticket."-Pittsburg Press.
SNORING.
One of the Evils We Acquire With
Our Civilization.
It is a truism that no one ever heard
of a snoring savage. In fact, if the
wild man of the woods and plains does
not sleep quietly he runs the risk of
being discovered by his enemy, and
the scalp of the snorer would soon
adorn the belt of his crafty and more
quietly sleeping adversary. With civ
ilization, however, we have changed
all this. 'he impure air of our sleep
ing rooms induces all manner of ca
tarrhal affections.- The nasal passages
are the first to become affected. In
stead of -warming the inspired air on
its way to the lungs and removing
from it the dangerous impurities with
which it is loaded the nose becomes
obstructed. A part of the air enters
and escapes by the mouth. The veil
of the palate vibrates between the two
currents-that through the mouth and
the one still passing through the par
tially closed nostrils-like a torn sail
in tIe wind. The snore, then, means
that the sleeper's mouth is partially
open, that his nose is partially closed
and that his lungs are in danger from
the air not being properly warmed
and purified. From the continued op
eration of these causes-the Increase
of Inipure air in sleeping rooms and
permitting habitual snorers to escape
killhig and scalpig-some . scientist
has predicted that in the future all
men (and all womeif, too) will snore.
It goes along with decay of the teeth
and baldness.-Health.

but with only two minutes to spare

no time for anything else."
"You can take all the time you want,
sir," said the young woman cordially.
"You look at this bill of fare, and I'll
telephone to the superintendent to de
lay the train a little while."
"Why, can that be done?" asked the
traveler In amazement.
"Certainly," said the young woman.
"Of course It can. It's a branch road
and no other train coming or going
over It today, and the superintendent
would want you to have a good meal.
He owns this restaurant." -Youth's
