IDEAL COUNTRY LIFE. Did vou ever think, Mr. Far mer, that all your planning and working and making and saving, your effnrts to raise larger crops and acquire more money, have for their on* 1 aim the mak ing of a hcMei a un-re attract ive, a cheertuli \ er, a happier home? asks the Progressive Farmer. For this, after all, you plow and sow and reap, that you and your wife and your children may have a better place in which to live and may fil’d in it more of beauty an brightness and comfort. There may be some folks who wish to acquire property for the mere sake of possession—simply to have and to hold and feel that it is theirs; but we do not believe that many of our readers belong; to this class We think instead j that most of you who read tins ' while you fully appreciate our el forts to help you make more money realize that if the money thus made does not contribute to the comfort and well-being of those you love it is after ull worth very little to you. The home is the great thing, and a pcor home and a good far mer do not go together. This is why we urge each and every one of you to add to his home just as much of beauty and convenience as is possible. It is only justice to your wife that she have just as many helps toward making her work indoors easy and pleasant as you have in doing your work on the farm. It is no more than the absolute right of your chi) dren to grow up under the most healthful and inspiring surround ings which you are able to provide for them. And it is not more than you owe yourself that you make your home a place to which you are always glad to gn—ut* attractive to the eye, restful and comforting to the heart. This is the sort of home which we believe every one of our readers is entitled to, and which all might have. Os cours- none of you can have things just as he would; but W'e believe you will find it a money-making proposition as well as a source of the deepest and truest satisfaction to have your home painted; to make the grounds about it. just as attrac tive as your means and time will allow; to see that the surround ings are healthful; to provide your wife the labor-saving equip meat she needs and save her just as much work as possible; to put in as soon as you can a water sup ply and a bath room ; to spend a little for books and pictures and music and handsome servicable furniture We believe, let us re peat, that it will pay you, merely as a financial proposition, to do these things; but even if it does not, you should do them just the same, for is this not, after all. what you are trying to make money for?—Ex. GEORGIA RAILROAD’S NEW SYSTEM Atlanta —In a 1 1 111♦ • more than sixty davs the Georgia railroad will be operating all its trains by telephone instead of by telegraph. It will be the first steam road in the country to adopt the new method of dippatching train or ders over its entire system About forty-eight other rouds are now us . ing the telephone for certain sec tions, but none thus far have in stalled it for all their lines. The total mileage represented by the roads using telephones parti ally, is a little more than a hund red and thirty thousand, while the mileage controlled by the tele phone dispatches is only about 16,000. Apart from the fact that the Georgia road’s adoption of the telephone proves a policy of up to-date methods, it also carries a larger and broader significance: ii means that the South is keeping pace with the march of progres and in many hues even surpassing other sections of the country.

DO YOU KNOW just what your cotton and corn need, and are you furnishing it in such quantities as required and in such .shape that the plant can use it ? Suppose you should put the food for your stock in a box, nail it up and place it in their trough —would you ex pect them to thrive and grow fat ? Hardly! * j Well, did it ever occur to you that when you use lumpy, badly mixed fertilizers you are putting this same proposi tion up to your crops offering them plant food in such shape that they can’t get to it ? Fertilizers, to do your 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 absorb the food contained in the water —and this is the only way in which the plant can feed. 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 be manu factured from materials that will not give up their plant food at one time, but furnish a steady supply throughout the entire growing season. This is the fertilizer you should have and can tfet — , in only one way. It is impossible to produce a goods like this by the dry-mixing of raw materials, whether you do this at home with a shovel and a screen or buy it from someone who has made it the same way —the only differ ence being in the quantity. ' These materials must be ground to a powder, and it re quires machinery costing thousands of dollars to do it properly. They must then he 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 opposite —and all of it contain plant food locked up and not available. I Remember 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 search out the plant food ; your crop can't. You can take an axe, break open the box and get the corn ; your mule cun't.
