One day we were going up stream on a low tide and came to a tree that some one had cut across the stream. The big end rested, as we thought, securely on the bank; part of the trunk was above the water As was our cus- « tom. we both got out of the boat on the tree to pull it over. W'e stood facing each other with the boat be tween us. The word was given to pull, and as we made the surge to pull the boat across, the tree slipped from the bank and sank in the water. My good, genial companion looked me straight in the face a d broke out in a regular horse-laugh and said: “1 would not have Major Mar vin to see us in this fix for anything, because he would never stop teasing us and laughing at us.” I was right ulad niy*“lf that we were the only eye witnesses to the predicament we were in.

Well, we had reached the terminus of the creek, and it was about the hour of noon and the tide had not 1 y *i turned, so Burt and 1 decided to e it our lunch before we started back an I thus give the tide time to rise ala >. So according to my orders (I | wh- in the front end of the boat) the boat uus run ashore by the side of a big log. I caught hold of the log in • >rd<*r t»» run the end of the boat well on the land and it plowed deep in the mud and stuck fast. Then it va- that I discovered, to my sorrow that the log was really inhabited by things that had more life than I a anted them to have. The log cen tal! ••d a very large family of huge buinbie-bees, and I think every one of I hem came out to bid me wel come, and they seemed to be very aff»*ciionite, to. as all of them came straight to my face as though they wished to greet me with a kiss. I never did like to appear too inti mate with strangers on first appear ance. so I felt somewhat embarrassed but there was no way for me to get iway from them. I tried to be just is polite as possible, even to getting down on my knew in the boat. 1 ‘hen pulled off my hat to them, but i still they came. This seemed to angi r i them and th**ir anger frightened me; | with my left hand 1 tried to scoop up water and throw it in their faces, with ifiy right I trier! to give them the time of day with my hat. In s *ite of my strenuous efforts in pro tecting myself two of them left im pressions on my physical anatomy that I have not yet entirely forgot ten. Where was Burt Gatch, and what was he doing during the battle? Well, w hen I did get a chance to sur vey my environment, I looked back at Burt. There he sat reared back and his eyes appeared to be some thing smaller than a hen’s egg, but resembled much two burnt holes in a blanket. He said Ke had been tn - ing hard to get the boat out of the mud and mom, but it appeared to me that he had only been throwing water on my back to keep the bees from lodging there. At any rate my back was drenchdd with water. My hat was a new one when I left home that morning, but after that famous bat ye of Vineyard Creek, the fingers on my right-hand looked like so many clothespins protruding from my hat. I bought the hat from Thomas Boynton and would have carried it back and asked for a bet ter one, but I was afraid I could not convince him that the fault waa with the hat It’s a mighty poor hat, isn’t it, that can’t stand a little battle like that? I got my wife to darn it up; and I used it as my second hat—I believe that is what the ladies call the dress they put on aftertthey have worn out the one they were nprried in. “Second dress,” yes, that is it!

O YOU KNOW just what your cotton and corn need, and are you furuishing it in such quantities as required and In such shape that the plant can use It ? Supj>ose you should put the food for your stock in a box, nail it up and place it in their trough—would you ex- l>ect them to thrive and grow fat f Hardly ! Well, did it ever occur to you that when you tw lumpy, badly mixed fertilizers you are putting this same pro|>osi- tion tip to your crops—oiler ing them plant feod in such shape that they can't get to it ? Fertilizers, to do voun crops any good, must dissolve in the soil waters. These are constantly in motion, rising to the surface during the day and sinking at night—passing and repassing the roots of the plant, which al>sorh the food contained in the water—and this is the only way in which -the plant can fees!. # Therefore, when you buy fertilizer, you should do so with the idea of furnishing food for your crop and on the same principle that you should purchase food for your stock. It should not only contain the necessary Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid and Potash, but above all else these should be In soluble form—the mechanical condition of the fertilizer should be such as to permit the plant to absorb every particle of it, and the goods should l>e manu factured from materials that will not give up their plant food atomic time, but "furnish a steady supply throughout the entire growing season. This is the fertilizer you should have and can det— in only one* way. It is imitossible to produce a goods like this by the dry mixing of raw materials, whether yon do this at home with a shovel and a screen or tmy it from someone who has made it the same way—the only differ ence being in the quantity. These materials must l»e ground to a powder, and it re quires machinery ci»sting thousands of dollars to do it properly. They must then l*e so manipulated that when complete, you have a compound, each ounce of which is exactly like every other ounce, and not a mixture, one part of which would contain too much Ammonia and too little Potash, while another part would be exactly the opposiu—and all of it contain plant food locked up and not available. Rememlxr that the chemical analysis of a fertilizer is no test of its crop growing qualities. The chemist can pul verize lumps and by the use of various means starch out the plant food ; your crop can’t. r ou can take an axe, break open the box and gi t the corn ; your mule can*t.
