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.

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.

How
Do You
Feed
Your Crops?
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.
Don’t risk a crop failure !
Insure your peace of mind as well as your crop by using
