Increase Farm Profits.
You Can Increase Farm Profits
By raising the level of crop yields—
By improving the quality of crops grown—
By increasing the fertility of the soil—
By buying plant food instead of brand names.
It is the plant food in the bag that counts; the
more units of plant food in the bag, the lower the
cost per unit.
High Analysis goods can’t be made from low
analysis materials.
Are Your Plants Pikers?
There are twenty-four hours in each day.
Make your plants work every one of the twenty
four.
The growing season is short.

Gas warfare was not unknown to
the Spartans, who in 431 B. C., in
'besieging the eities of Belium and
Platea, burned pitch and sulphur un
der the walls of the cities to break
down their defense by suffocating
the defending troops.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., APRIL 3, 1925
Inventor Had Taken
No Chance of Loeing
Surely, the Scotch are the moat tol
erant people In the world, as they bear
the brunt of moat of Its so-called
humor. But there la considerable basis
for the well-circulated theory that the
Scot la canny. Here Is an authentic
yarn, vouched for by Harry Turnies In
his “Some Victorian Men" that Il
lustrates the point.
When Bessemer, the genius who gave
to steel his name, came to make his
discovery public, he put a lump of the
famous steel in his pocket and made
his way to Nasmyth, of steel-hammer
fame.
Placing the metal on Nasmyth’s
desk, he told him that he had made an
extraordinary discovery which would
revolutionize the whole metal world.
Then came a little incident which
shows what wonderful heads these
Scotch financiers possess. What do you
think Nasmyth said to thia excited in
ventor?
“Eh, mon, it's vary risky to show
your wonderful invention. The world
is very dishonest.”
To which the inspiring inventor re
plied :
“Right, Mr. Nasmyth. I just calcu
lated whom I was coming to see, so
with my last half-crown I registered
the invention on my way."
Lenny Really Didn’t
Know Weight of Hog
If old Lenny Foskett was anything
more than deliberate, he was exasper
ating. He moved, spoke and lived at
his own sweet will, and no one had
ever been known to budge him. He
came into the village store one morn
ing, threw himself down on the bench
in front of the counter and announced
that he had just killed his prize hog.
“Guess how much he weighed,
boys,” he drawled.
“Two hundred and seventy-five,”
ventured one of the loungers.
Lenny shook his head.
Others offered suggestions; the
guesses grew so brisk that it began
to sound like an auction. All sorts of
weights were given, but to all of them
Lenny merely shook his head. The
others began to lose patience. From
mere curiosity they began to long pas
sionately to learn the weight of the
hog and pass on to another subject.
“Well, for heaven's sake, how much
did your old hog weigh?” somebody
demanded. ‘’We've guessed every fig
ure possible! How much did he
weigh?"
Lenny yawned. “Hi —hum. 1 dun
no,” he drawled. "I ain't weighed
him yet."—Youth’s Companion.
Man-Made Earthquake
It is believed that the numerous
small earthquakes recently reported
from the Midlands of England are due
to the handiwork of man. In excavat
ing for coal and iron the miner cuts
away millions of tons of rock and coal
and piles It on the surface, thus set
ting up all sorts of stresses. In July,
1913, dwellers near the coast of Car
narvonshire were startled out of their
sleep by loud subterranean rumblings,
while the earth quivered over an area
of many square miles. It was found
that a considerable area of land lying
between the Rivals granite quarries
and the shore had started to slide sea
ward. The fact was that the waste of
the quarries which for years has been
dumped on this lower ground, had
proved too much for it, and had set
the whole ledge sliding, producing a
very good imitation of a real earth
quake.
Tree-Climbing Fish
In India there is a fish known as the
tree-climbing perch. Technically the
scientists call it “anahas testudineus
scandens." By means of Its fins and
gills this fish can travel overland from
one body of water to another. Its
breathing apparatus is adapted for life
out of the water. Stories about this
fish’s ability to climb trees should be
taken with liberal portions of salt. The
United States bureau of fisheries in
forms us that these tales of Its tree
climbing propensity “are heritages
from early travelers and are largely
mythical.” However, the climbing
perch has been known to work its way
upon stones and inclined tree trunks.
This is as close as it ever comes to
climbing trees. —Exchange.
She Wanted a Change
Betty had only lately been Instructed
in the matter of evening prayers, and
her performance was exemplary until
the occasion when she startled her
mother with the petition: “Bless Thy
little pig tonight.”
She was reminded that the correct
word was “lamb,” but refused to re
turn to orthodoxy.
At last, when pressed for the cause
of this stubborn naughtiness, she re
pliefl that she was tired of being a
lamb. “Every night,” she protested,
“it has been lamb, lamb, lamb! So to
night I'm going to be a pig, and to
morrow night I am going to be an ele
phant.”
Gelatin as Food
The potential energy of gelatin is
calculated to be even more than that
of some fats and albuminate, and yet
in the body it Is very inferior In the
production of energy. It cannot,
therefore, take the place of proteins
for growth and repair and must be
regarded solely as an albumin sparer.
Neither can It replace albumin, the
loss of which still goes on to some
extent even when gelatin is eaten in
large quantities. It Is used in the body
very much like the carbohydrates and
fats. 1. e., not as a tissue builder, but
as a fuel food.

Wife Was His Memory
“Your story of the absent-minded
minister,” writes a contributor to the
Youth's Companion, “reminds me of a
minister whom I knew in a little Wis
consin town many years ago. He had
a wretched memory, but for all that
he was nothing less than a saint.
"His absent-mindedness was chronic.
He seldom could remember his text,
and, being averse to notes, he depend
ed on his good wife to come to his
rescue. He would lean over the pulpit
and say, ‘What was my text for today,
my dear?'
“She would tell him, and he would
them proceed to preach a fine sermon
from it;
“One Sunday after the singing of
the second hymn he opened his Bible
and, leaning down, made the usual re
quest: ‘My text for today, my dear?’
“ ‘I don't know, I'm sure,’ composed
ly replied his wife. ‘You forgot to tell
me I’"
Butterless Land
The supply of fluid milk In the Do
minican republic is fairly adequate,
and although it is in general use for
adults, modern methods of production
and distribution do not prevail. A
large amount of condensed, evap
orated and powdered milk is Imported
into the country each year and one or
the other of these preserved milks Is
always used for Infant feeding. No
butter is made anywhere in the re
public and the demand for this com- |
modlty in the local market is met by
importations chiefly from the United !
Rtates and Denmark. New York I
