The following statement conceriing the fertilizatior) of whost this fall was issued by the dopartment'of agricultu'ra extension at Purdue University, July 31, 1917: The fertilization of the wheat crop was never more important than it will be this fall. From every part of Indiana come reports of excellent results secur. ed from fertilization and the very poor yields of wheat secured from unfertiliz ed soil. By fertilizing, the farmer swaps dollars for eagles. Evidence on the profitableness of fertilizing the wheat is abundant. Ir 1916 L. M. Waggoner of St. Josept county, applied 200 pounds of acid phos phate to the acre on all but a small part a field sown to wheat. From the fer a tilized part he secured 22.4 bushels of wheat to the acre, and on the unfertil. izod, 12.6 bushels to the acre-a gain oj 9.9 bushels, due to fertilizing. Thls year 200 pounds of acid phos phate will cost about $2.25, and wheal is worth $2.00 per bushel. On this basis the increase secured by Mr. Wagonner would be worth $19.80 and the profil I after counting expenses of applying fer tilizer and paying for harvesting and marketing the increased crop would be more than $5 an acre. If that isn't a case of swapping dollars for eagles i1 comes very near to it. The Ohio experiment station of Woos ter, as an average for the last twenty two years, has secured an increase 01 St'.0 bushels to the acre from an applica tion of 160 pounds of acid phosphate t< the acre. The unphosphated yield ha: been 11.2 bushels and the phosphate< J9.2 bushels. WVhere 1000 pounds o1 potash has been added to the phosphat< the yield has been 20.4 bushels to the acre, or an increase of 1.2 bushels mor< than was secured from phosphate alone Even at present prices for wheat anc before-the-war prices for potash the in crease in the wheat crop was not suf ficient to pay the cost of the potash The addition of potash to fertilizer, containing phosphorous and ni troge: will not be profitable when applicl i elav and loam soils. Iyine farmers out of ten should fer tilize wheat this fall. Fertilizer no unly increases the vie!d directly, bu the gLeater sums i: of available plan food imake. stronger plant: that with stan(d the attack. :' : ungus diseases an( hu~eets better than those unfertilized A t present prce the farmer may ex pect a return ut at least live dollars fo Sever dollar spent for wheat fertilize this fall. The i aportance oI ordering earl cannot be too strongly eiphasized Those who order early will get wha they want, while those who order lat will have to take what is left or do with out.

Not withstanding the amusing statements one reads in the newspspers by some people trying to foist manufactured articles on a confidiuig public Ironized Paw-Paw stiands out boldly with a de-. pegable record of nearly a quarter of a century. It is not a "cure-all," but prepared simply for what we claim and" no more. Thousands upon thousands of letters containing the warmest praise reach our headquarters, and while we do not believe in promiscuous publishing of1 testimonials, we feel compelled to give one, as follows: I Mr. A. F. Meister, an upholsterer by trade, living at 2211 Wheat street, Co lumbia, S. C., says: "I suffered from indigestion, liver troubles and constipa tion so that I could not eat nor sleep after any fashion. I saw your Ironized Paw-Paw advertised in the newspapers, but was at first somewhat skeptical, having tried so many ready-made medi cines; however, I obtained a bottle and used it according to directions, 1 table spoonful half an hour before meals, and in a few days before using up the first bottle I felt so much better that I wish to congratulate you on having such a splendid remedy. I am sleeping well again and my indigestion has disappear ed. I need not tell you I shall continue the treatment which has made me feel so much better." If you are suffering from any troubles similar to Mr. Meister there is no reason why you should not obtain the same re lief as she has had. Step into the near-i est drug store and obtain a bottle.

"A proverb in the time of St. Bler nard was: 'Qul me amat, anet et canem meum' ('Vho loves me will love my dog also'). This is exactly how the proverb reads in the book, and it is true. Whether the owner be the man on the throne or the tramp in the road, the dog is the best of his friends, whether the dog be cur or hunter of high degree. ,In one of the most famous cases Senator Vest of Missouri ever tried before a jury he paid a wonderful tribute to this humble friend of man, and to this day men write to the senator's son for copies of his father's tribute, which has become a classic. Some years ago another dog died in one of the South ern towns, and his owner, who hap pened to be the editor of a newspa per, paid this tribute in the editorial columns to "Joe :" "Joe was a dog, but he was far more. He was his master's friend and companion. Whether the hour was early or late, or the weather hot or cold, in calm and storm, in rain and sunshine, night and day, he wait ed for the familiar footstep, and gave an honest welcome. He could not speak, but his heart was in his dark brown eyes, and in the wag of his graceful tail there was more elo quence by far than could be expressed in any spoken tongue. "He was far better than his fel lows, for he cane of aristocratic stock, His strain was perfect on both sides and his blood showed in every curve of his beautiful body, in the poise ' of his princely head, in the sweep of his splendid brush, in the glory of the sunlight which had been caught In his silken coat. lie was a dog, but he was a gentleman. He gave offense to no one ; he was ad mired by all. Ills manners were charming, his disposition perfect. He, Was the dellight of Women and little children, and his master loved him he was so beautiful, so patient, so faithful, so true." The friendship between a1 ma11n and his dog is as old as the hian race. When Tois was going down into Media with the angel Iaphaei, his father, Tohit, the prophet, said: "Go thou with this ma n, and Clod, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company," and the niarrative reads: "So they went forth both, 111and the young man's dog with them."
