The New Fertilizer.
A discovery of far-reaching impor
tance to the farmers of the South is
the new fertilizer which has been per
fected on one of the islands near
Charleston, S. C. It has long been
known that lime is an essential food
for plants of all kinds and that they
can not live when it has been ex
hausted from the soil. It has also
been known that old worn-out lands
are extremely deficient in lime, and
that sour, badly drained lands have
their lime in a form that is not usable
by growing crops.
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 124, U. S.
Dept, of Agriculture says: “All the ap
plications of lime increased the yields
* * * The best yields were obtained
with the lime in the form of carbonate,
the finely ground oyster shells stand
ing first * * * Lime with ferti
lizer was more profitable than de
pending upon fertilizer alone.”
This new fertilizer which presents
lime in its most usable form is made
by a new process of burning oyster
shells and using a burner that can
supply potash. The result is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consumer
only $7-00 per ton. It reclaims worn
out lands in a marvelous manner if
applied broadcast two months ahead of
ammoniated goods. It’s sweetening
effects on sour lands is almost magi
cal. Charleston freight rates apply on
this new fertilizer. The factory is
located on Young’s Island, S. C., but
all letters should be addressed to E. L.
Commins, Sales Agent, Meggetts, S. C.
Free descriptive circulars will be sent
to any one on request.

J LITTLE ‘SLUE SHOES I
♦♦ I*
Dear little worn-out rusty shoes,
With the toe prints showing plainly,
And the dear little heels that are rub
bed and scarred,
And laces hanging ungainly.
Wee little shoes that once were blue,
Wee laces that once were white,
As you lie tucked away with discarded
things
A story yop tell tonight.
A story that only mothers can hear.
Os rosy toddling feet,
Whose restless patter the whole day
through
Made music divinely sweet,
Music that memory may ever wake
On the strings of a mother’s heart,
That throbs to the pathos of babyhood
Life’s half-blown lily—life’s start.
Ay! the years will creep on, and the
rosy feet
Will be scarred on the hazardous
CHAT.
Dear Young People:
I had a beautiful story of honorable
confession of wrong done, that I meant
to give you this week, but Agnes
Tyler, I am sure had some premoni
tion that I was going to be extremely
busy this week, so she came in with
this pretty little story, “expressly”
stating that it was not for the con
test, but for use this week. Don’t
you think she was “nice.” I do. And
the other will keep just fine until a
time, when somebody forgets to run
in and help your busy
LITTLE MOTHER.
S’
“ANNIE.”
By Agnes Tyler.
ON December 21, 1620, the little
band of Pilgrims landed at Ply
mouth. They were poor people
and knew that they would have to
work hard. Among them was an aged
man and his little granddaughter, An
nie.
They with the others had left Eng
land because they could not worship
Cod as they chose. Several weeks
passed, the Pilgrims had arrived too
late to make preparations for the
northern winter and before . spring
more than half had died of cold and
starvation; among them was Annie’s
grandfather, and she was left alone,
an orphan, uncared for, unloved and
penniless. Her mother and father had
died when she was a little girl, leav
ing her to the care of her rich grand
father. But he had lost all of his
money trying to discover some un
known land. After the burial service
Annie was carried to the home of a
The Golden Age for November 11, 1909.

way,
While a mother will clasp two little
worn shoes
And over them smile and pray;
And perhaps she will sit in the soft
twilight
When the home seems still and
bare,
And dream of the patter of baby feet
Once more on the old worn stair.
Now, little blue shoes, your story is
told,
And each mother will understand,
For we all have a pair safe hidden
away
In our sacred treasure land.
For we love the scars on the worn-out
heels,
And the print of the little toes,
And we treasure our baby’s wee blue
shoes,
For only a mother knows.

neighbor, whom, as we have before
stated, were poor and could barely
support themselves, hence Annie had
to go from one place to the other, earn
ing her bread by doing such services
as she could. Years passed, the col
ony had grown and prospered, and An
nie was now a young girl of eighteen.
Many stopped to gaze at her as she
passed. The blue eyes that looked so
sad and wistful and the golden curls
pushed back from the white forehead
formed a picture lovely to look upon.
One day as she was walking through
the woods she was addressed by a
voice. Turning she saw a young man
about twenty-two years of age, his
sketch-book beside him and watching
her intently.
Annie was startled; few strangers
ever came to that place; she decided
he must be an artist and addressed
him as such: “’Tis a very pretty scene
here,” she remarked.
"Very,” he replied, his eyes fixed on
hers.
Our heroine was now a servant for
a very rich family who had recently
moved to Plymouth, and her duties at
Mrs. Seibt’s was to be her daughter
Ethel’s dressing maid.
Ethel was very cruel to the serv
ants and for this reason Annie got the
position she did. For no one else
would stay with Ethel.
