P9 'f 7 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 ver y greatest possible yield from any scil it must contain an actual excess over and above all demands that can possibly be nfade on it by the plants. Many farmers will feed their stock as much nourishing food as they can possibly assimi- iate, 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 c Mrginia-Carolina Fer are the best world for the money.

The best results in producing com, the good old stand-by crop of the South, follow the application of 200 to 300 pounds of the right fertilizer.

North and south newspaper in qll that the expression roads extending from the great cities ¥alana is due to impurities and poisons in the blood. Instead of beisg rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of these red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we see pale, sallow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria is a gtyieral systemic disease, and as the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its germs w’e have more serious and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight fever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a constant tired-out and “no account ” feeling. The lack of necessary nour ishment and healthful qualities in the blood causes boils and abscesses, skin affections, and in some cases sores and ulcers to break out, and sometimes the patient is prostrated with a spell of malarial fever which may leave his health permanently impaired To cure Malaria both a blood purifier and tonic are necessary, in order to remove the cause and at the same time build up the system from its weakened and run-down condition. S. 3. S. is the medicine best fitted for this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers, and the purely vegetable ingredients of which it is composed make it the greatest and safest of all tonics. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it removes the genus and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every part of the system When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood the symptoms pass away, the health}" color returns to tjie complexion, the old tired, depressed feeling is yone, and the entire health is renewed.
